LONDON, March 1.-Germany' S
new submarine decree, sanctionlng
attacks without warning on bellig-
erent armed merchant ships, went
into effect at the stroke of mid
night.
The situation today was similar
TO that prevailing when "Der Tag"
davned on the Inauguration of the
first Won Tirpitz campaign, more
than a,year ago Shipping men were
divided in opinion. Some regarded
the new order as blum, offering in
particular to- bet large sums that
no passenger liner of any national
ity, armed or not. will be torpedoed
by the Germans without warning.
Others, made uneasy by reports that
the Germans have turned loose a
great feet OF u boats for n spec
tacular opening of the new cam.
paign, expressed concern for the
safety of merchantmen crews and
Twelve hours after the new de
cree became effective. word reached
London OF the sinking OF the West
Hartlepool steamer Thornaby.
Lloyds dispatches reported that all
members OF her crew had been
killed or drowned, but there was
nothing TO Indicate whether she had
gone TO the bottom as the first vic.
tim OF the new campaign.
The first great sea tragedy, II one
comes as the result OF the new sub
marining decree, Is expected to- oc.
cur In the Mediterranean. The
number OF Austrian and German
submersibles operating off the Ital.
Ian coast IL known to have been
greatly increased recently. Through
this submarine zone are now pass
ing armed Italian passenger carry.
ing liners. Anyone OF them IL legiti.
mate prey for an Austrian submersI-
BILE under the decree issued by

ernment, II was reported today, Is

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, April 4.-(Special.) )-Not many moons ago there still is a moon, isn't there-one never notices it in Man. hattanO a New York newspaper wanted to know what was the trouble with native New Workers. It seems that investiga- ton had proved the majority of people Who have accomplished big things here, came from elsewhere. This majority is in fact vast, but as for the reason, that has not yet been given officially.
 All of which preamble has led us gently up to the fact that an Alabamian is now looming largely on the horizon as the rext postmaster of New York city. His name is Joe Johnson. and he is also known here as Fighting" Joe.
 MT. Johnson, if he gets the appoint ment, would not be receiving his first honors in this city. He was fire commits sioner here before Commissioner Adam son, the incumbent, and his record in that position is clean showing efficiency and general executive ability.
 Down in Park Row-and Park Row knows a lot of things it has not yet pub lished-the chatter runs on MT. Johnson as the next postmaster. It is believed that the hopes of all other aspirants will soon die, and that the Alabamian will go in without trouble.
 MT. Johnson is a Sheffield man-there
