ALLIES FACE NEW PERIL
AT SEA, VIERECk SAYS
Germany Is Helping u. S. Break
Rlockade. He Declares.

"The coming of the U-53 to American
waters marks the beginning of new
phase OF submarine warfare said
George Sylvester. Iiereck, edi'or Oh
"The Fatherland," last night. Her
appearance will cost the Allies pretty
pennv in increased insurance rates,
and should put an end TO the shipment
of munitions to England from the
United States
Mr.. Viereck declared that nothing
would please the American people more
than for the German submarine to tor
pedo every English cruiser "prowling
in our harbors."
"Since our own protests against this
unlawful practice Of England have
been impotent," he said, I'VE must look
70 Germany for relief. The blockade
Of Germany is fictitious. useless, illegal
and indefensble; the blockade of
America By England is real. indeed.
We may safely trust TO Germany to
break both"

be so distasteful TO us that our deep
anxiety, our anger even, would be re-
moved only by an immediate discon-
tinuance of the practice.
Germany has been deprived Of her
power of offensive on land. Her
plight is desperate and daily growing
more desperate. Her Kaiser and his
ministers see the black shadow of de-
feat that ever comes nearer and
nearer.
Yet by sending here warship that
wildly recalls to our memories the
black crime of the Lusitania they run
straight into the danger of estranging
the one nation that can best serve
them in that coming time when they
will need friend. The time for for
besrance has passed. The people
know that they can trust President
Wilson to safeguard the rights and
the interests of the country prudently
and wisely, but firmly.

Wilson to Blame for Raid
by U-BOat, Perkins Says

The submarine attacks yesterday are
the logical sequel to President Wilson's
settlement" of the submarine contro-
vcrsy, George W. Perkins declared last
night. Mr.. Perkins pointed out that at
the time Germany promised not to at
tack passenger liners she based her
promise entirely on the condition that
Great Britain should be forced to lift
the blockade against Germany. This
stipulation was ignored by President
Wilson.
But the attacks show clearly. Mr..
Perkins said the futility of the belief
that the splendid isolation" of this
country is a substitute for prepared
ness and bring into glazing relief the
negligence of the Wilson Administra-
ton in failing to provide real prepared
ness in the last three years.
with such meagre reports at hand
it is too early, of course, to comment
on the very serious turn of affairs,
said Mr.. Perkins, but We should re-
member that when the last note was
exchanged with Germany on the sub
marine question she said in effect that
she would suspend her submarine war
fare provided we would take up with
England the blockade question. 9,

that note he entirely ignored the block

were used in numbers and with the ut
most effort to follow in the path of
destruction a belligcrent ship and make
sure that lives were saved which had
possibly been consigned to inadequate
means of safety.
The U-53 showed yesterday that she
is instructed to pass ships under the
American flag. But if a mistake should
be made in the case of an American
ship. or if American citizens lose their
lives under the flags of belligerent
ships destroyed. questions will arise for
the United States government which
Germanys Sussex note never sufficient
ly covered.
New anxieties for the Entente powers
are created by the daring voyage OF
the U-53. Their seamen cannot set
nets and traps in our harbors, and IN
the open sea it is not easy to find a
ship that sinks at will. Before she
must put into port for supplies the big
craft may do much damage. A number
of such long radius undersea cruisers
might tremendously affect the worlds
commerce, creating for neutrals as well
as combatants practical questions OK
the utmost importance.
The Herald.
A virtual blockade of New York and
other American ports has been created
bv the appearance of the Prussian sub
marine U-53 and its destruction OF
shipping in American waters. There
can be no avoiding the issue raised by
those acts. 1t is not whether in indi-
vidual cases there has been technical
adherence to a policy Of warning. Ii
is that submarine operations in the
lanes of sea travel leading Immediately
TO American ports cannot be, must not
be tolerated.
To-day New York is in effect as
much a blockaded port as any port OF
Germany. Steamships contemplating
leaving New York will OF necessity be
held in port. steamships headed for
New York will of necessity be turned
back, stagnation of sea-borne COM
merce will follow. German ports are
shut off from the world by the war
ships Of enemy nations; New YORK is
being blockaded by warships of pro-
fessedly friendly nation. 1t is situa-
ton calling for prompt and drastic &C
ton by the government OF the United
States.
In case Of the depredations of the
U-53 the offence against the united
States is UNNECESSARILY greater than
any committed by British or French
warships These at no time went be,
yond search, and this was abandoned
in response to the American protests:
Now the Prussiens bring war itseif
in it's most hideous form to the vicin-
ity OF the shores Of this land.
This cannot wait. 1t is tho high
est duty Of the government OF the
United States to go TO any length that
may be necessary TO put an end TO
this Prussian warfare in American
waters, and without a days delay.
The Times.
II the imperial German government
Is really bent upon arousing again

U-Boat Cannot Hunt Off
Ports and Close Sea
Lanes.
AID TO PASSENGERS
SERIOUS PROBLEM
StOWell Sees Grave Situa-
ton in Sinking of
British Ships.

Ellery c. Stowell, professor OF inter-
national law at Columbia University,
said last night the United States could
not ditferentiate between under and
over sea war vessels without remaking
international law, but a protest could
be made under international law, he
said, il submarine raiders lowered Oft
our ports and in the vicinity Of the sea
lanes TO such an extent as to interfere
with our commerce.
"The submarine" he said, "has the
same rights under international law as
any other war vessel. II | remember
correctly, there was newspaper talk of
a protest on the part of Great Britain
when the Deutschland arrived with its
cargo of dyes. LIDO not remember,
however, that the protest was ever
made or, if it was, that it was ever
acted upon"
Serious Problem Raised.
Another and far more serious prob
lem had been raised for the United
States, Professor Stowell thought, in
the sinking of four British vessels by
the U-53. The vexed question of the
safety" of passengers left in open
boats by a raider powerful enough to
sink their ship and yet impotent to
save a dozen members Of the ships
company might come up again, ne
thought, if the Atlantic coast OF the
United States were made the hunting
ground of the U-boats.
"Of course" he said, "the United
States has the right to object to at
tacks made in our channels of trade,
too near to our coast and to belligerent
submarines lowering of our ports.
1.-THE submarine has the same rights
as any other war vessel Of the being
erents. but no more. AS long as they
don't come too close to our lanes OF
commerce. or hover outside our ports
lust beyond the three-mile limit "a
pounce upon enemy ships as they leave
or enter, they have the undoubted
right to sink prizes.
Safety of Passengers.
"But that again brings up the ques,
ton of tho safety OF passengers.
think that the sinking Of a passenger
vessel any great distance from lane
ieopardizes the safety of the passen,
gers. 1t is required of the war vessel
that sinks a prize that its passenger
be placed in safety.
at is question whether men
women and children consigned to oper
boats are in place of safety. Inc
state Of the sea and the weather anc
tho distance from land all enter into
the problem. 1t is a mighty risky thing
| think. :. =.
Even outside the three-mile limit
warships of the belligerents in their
desire to seize the enemy's commerce
cannot carry their operations to the
extreme of a nuisance to ordinary sea
traffic. They cannot hover at a port
entrance and pocket ships there. Such
action would amount to cutting on bel
ligerent merchant ships from our ports
and would be serious menace to our
commerce."
In holding up the United States ship
Kansan and then allowing it to pro-
coed the U-53 was strictly within its
rights, Professor Stowell said.

THE WEEKS SERMON
By REV. JOHN H. BROWN, Rector of Christ Church

civilization is stable without it and
can be stable only to such extent as
faith in Jesus Christ is its inspiration
and guiding power. The present
world conflict is a striking example
Of the failure Of brute force to estab-
lish a lasting civilization. And only
when the nations become really and
truly Christian will war cease and
the pleasures and progress of an hon
orable peace be realized.
"And finally the Christian religion
is a religion of service. Mans first
duty in this life is not to save his
own soul, but to help make the world
better for others to live in it. st.
Mark tells us in the closing verses of
his Gospel that the effect of the as
cension on the early disciples was to
make them go tell others about Jesus
To use his own words, after the
Lord had spoken unto them, He was
received up into heaven and sat
the right hand of God. And they
went forth and preached everywhere,
the Lord working with them and con-
frming the word with power"
And so it must be for us TODAY.
We must think of the assembled Christ,
but we must not stand idly and visit
fully gazing up-into heaven. We must
remember that there is work to be
done around US, there is suffering to
be, relieved. Injustice IN he 1arooxad
evil to be overcome, souls to be saved.
We must remember that the Lord
Jesus is coming again, and we shall
be called upon to give an account of
how we have used our opportunities.
We must remember that faith in Je-
sus Christ is a. real power which en-
ables us to do mighty works. But
above all, we must remember that
all this is ours to use not merely for
our own pleasure or advancement,
but for the good of our fellow men.

eye men of Galilee, why stand
ye gazing up into heaven? This same
Jesus which is taken up from you
into heaven, shall so come in like
manner as We have seen Him go into
heaven" Acts L, IL.
Taking his text from the Acts of
the Apostles, the Rev. John H. Brown,
of Christ church, delivered an impress
sive sermon on present day problems.
He referred to conditions that con-
front the everyday man and woman,
and drew the less on not only of
Christianity, but of logic, from the
European conflict.
'sThe ascension of the Lord Jesus
Christ" said Mr.. Brown, in part, sis
the completion of His resurrection,
and was not only the inevitable result
Of the resurrection, but also abso-
lutely necessary for the disciples and
for the spread of the Gospel. Had
the Lord remained in visible form
upon earth He must of necessity
have been localized in one place"
''Thus the early disciples" contin-
ued Mr.. Brown, @found a real mean
ing in the ascension, and thus we
learn that it teaches that the religion
of Jesus Christ is religion of hope,
power and service.
'It is a religion of hope in that
it is based on belief in. a living per-
son, Jesus Christ, who, though cruel
fed, has risen from the dead and has
assembled into heaven where He pre-
sides over the destinies of all who
believe in Him. It holds out for man
the possibilities of future development
which are limitless inasmuch as he
can be ever approaching nearer to
the perfectness of God Himself.
