HAS NEW FLEET 0F SUBMARINES
Germany is Reported as Prepared an Wage Campaign Against Nor
 chantmen of the Allies.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Feb. 19.-- The Journal de Geneva reports from what is believed to be reliable source that the Germans have built g. fleet of one hundred submarines and aro preparing to renew the campaign against the merchantmen of the enemy nations with renewed vigor.
 The submarines are reported to be of a new type and equipped with in struments which enable their com manders to detect the presence of nets or mines before coming into con tact with them. The underwater fighters are said to be larger that tho submarines used in former attacks against enemy ships in the North Sea and English channel and that they can operate at great distance from their base of supplies.
 It is predicted that the German ad- miralty will order the submarines to operate against the merchantmen of the Allies far out on the Atlantic where it will be beyond the power of the Allies to spread nets or mines as in the North Sea and English channel.

SAYS REASONABLE j. PROTECTION GIVEN
Report to Senate on Mexican sitna' tion Shows no Americans
 Been Killed Mexicans.

WASHINGTON; D. C., Feb. 1S.- A detailed report on the Mexican sit nation was sent to the Senate by the State Department this morning. The report shows that during the past three years seventy-six Americans have been killed in Mexico and thir- ty-four on American soil who were killed by Mexican bandits who cross ed the border on raiding expeditions.
 The report states that President Wilson has declined to give the con- fidential reports of his agents in Mexico to the senate as he regards them as private.
 The president defends his Mexican policy and asserts that reasonable protsction is being given to the lives and property of Americans and other foreigners in Mexico. He believes that Amricans should not rush into the isolated mining camps in the northern Mexican states before the Carranza government has had sufti- cient time to restore order by exter- minating the guerillas who are car wing on warfare in different parts of the country.

 Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts, speaking on the floor of the Senate, protested against the abandonment of the principles which had been adopted by the United States at the beginning of hostilites in Europe re- gartling submarine warfaNe.

would protest with all his might against the United States government recognizing the right claimed by the Teutonic governments to sink armed merchantmen without warning and in violation of international rules. He believed to recede from the po- sition taken by the State department in the controversy with Germany re- garding the sinking of the Lusitania would be to abandon our neutrality and would be taking a long step to- ward involving the United States in war.
 Senator Lodge declared that under no circumstances could the United States recognize the contention of the German and Austrian govern ments that armed merchantmen were warships. He believed that to do SO would be an unnatural act and would have the effect of making American an ally of nations whose merchantmen had been swept from the seas.

lOR|MER CASE
 COMES TO TRIAL
Former United States Senator Charg- ed With Having LoOted Chain
 of Banks He Organized.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-The trial of former Senator William Lorimer, charged with wrecking the LaSalle Street Trust & Savings Bank and subsidiary banks in 1914, started here yesterday afternoon. Lorimer was one of fourteen persons indicted for the footing of the banks and sev- eral of the defendants have been con- victed and are now serving time.
 The LaSalie Street bank was open ed by 1primer and associates in 1910, with capitalization of five hundred thaJsand dollars and within few mouths after, it had been established the clearing house examiners found that Lorimer was making large loans to himself in violation of the bank Ing laws.
 A year after it's establishment the bank was refused clearing house privileges because of its shaky con- aition and Lorimer was advised to Ii. auidate the institution and pay of the depositors while there were funds available for that purpose. He de. eided to continue in business.
 In 1912 Lorimer became associat' a with Chas. B. Munday and with a number Of Chicago capitalists they started 8 chain of banks and it was not until 1914 that the national bank examiners got on their trail and the comptroller of currency ordered that the affairs of the banks be examined When the bank examiner ordered g simultaneous examination of the banks it was discovered that but forty thousand dollars in actual cash re mained in the vaults to satisfy the deposits which approximated four million dollars,
 {. Lorimer has been powerful polit. ical factor in Chicago for years and has been able to prevent his case com ing to trial until after the cases ot the other dfendants had been dis nosel of.
