GERMANY DEFENDS
U-BOAT WARFARE
NEAR AMERICA
Semi Official News Agency Says Prom
Use to American Government Will
Be Kept and Neutral Rights
Are to Be Respected.

Berlin by wireless to Sayville, Oct. le
I'm answer to the report sent out b,
the British wireless that the German
submarine U-53 'torpedoed in some case
and sank ships, a competent German
authority says the Overseas News agen
cy, makes the following statement:
"The commercial war near the coast
OF the United States is being carried OF
according to rules and the German prom
Use, which means that a merchantmen
can be stopped and that after the vessel
has been searched and the crew and pas
sengers are in safety, the vessel can be
sunk under certain conditions.
The conditions are, for instance, when
a hostile steamer or a neutral steamer
carrying contraband of war is involved or
when the military situation makes it i'm
possible to bring a steamer which has
been captured into port as prize.
"ln no case, however, can this be con-
strued to mean that merchantmen may
be sunk by torpedo without previous
warning.
According to further reports from
Washington, the American authorities
are said to be afraid that every compli-
Gated question of neutrality may arise
il the German submarines operate so
near the American coast and that such
submarine action is equivalent to a
blockade.
ITO this it is stated that the German
sea forces are entitled to carry ON
cruiser warfare anywhere in the open
sea. Territorial waters of neutral states
are carefully respected. A blockade, OF
course. is ont of the question. Only hos
tile ships, as prizes, or neutral vessels
that carry contraband were stopped. \
blockade means the capture of all ships
steering toward or leaving blockaded
coast without regard to flag or cargo.
"The question asked by one American
journal as to whether it lis necessary
that our coast be made a base for a
German submarine must be considered
superfluous. since the U-53 on touching
at Newport did not even use her right
to take on fuel and food to which as a
war she was entitled.
mo sensible American citizen will be-
lieve that a secret depot for supplying
German submarines could be established
on the American coast
Cautiously opposed to these many
is the fact that since the be-
ginning of the war British cruisers have
been watching American ports and have
even approached the coast off New York
30 closely that they could be seen from
the roofs of tall buildings with the naked |
eve"

QuezOn Believes Bill Will Die in

 The bill now goes to a conference of the house and senate. The house instructed it's conferees not to agree to the fixing of any definite date for Philippine independence.
 q. Manuel L. Quezon, resident com missioner of the Philippines in con- gress, predicted that the bill would die in conference and that the fight for political freedom of the islands would be most difficult in the future He was disappointed he said he would not return to congress.

 Stations and BattleShipS

Washington, May 2.-To test the nations preparedness for communica- tion in time of war, a telephonic, tele- graphic and wireless demonstration has been arranged by which the naval stations on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the battleship New Hamp- shire at sea, simultaneously will be in touch with the navy department The demonstration will begin at D. m. next Saturday and continue until Monday, and during the entire time the department will be operated on an actual war basis.
 The test was arranged at the re- quest of Secretary Daniels by officials or the American Telephone and Tele- graph company, who have agreed to place their service at the disposal of the departm ent without cost. It marks an undertaking never before attempted by any countrywide main- tenance of instantaneous communica- tion with all it's naval stations.

 To Play at War
 At the same time Secretary Daniels. the general board of the navy the of ficcrs of naval intelligence and the chief of operations will receive tele- phonic reports from the New Hamp- shire telling of theoretical belliger- ent operations at sea, the battleship in turn receiving instructions from Wash ington as to her movements.
 A special switchboard has been in stalled in the department, from which wires lead to the offices of the secre- tary assistant secretary and heads of the bureau. From these branches di- rect communication will be had with any point from Maine to Florida and Washington state to California and l the New Hampshire, far out at sea- At the same time the wires are being | used for telephonic communication, they will be connected with telegraph l instruments, and telegrams and tele- ] phone messages will be sent over the i same wires simultaneously. In addition four telegraphic printing machines 1 will be put on the wire connecting the
 New York navy yard and the depart | ment.
