Give Notice Of Withdrawal.

London, Feb. 13.-The American
commission for relief in Belgium has
officially notified the German authori-
ties that the Americans will withdraw
from participation in the relief work
in Belgium and northern France.
This step was taken in reply to an
order from the German authorities
that Americans must withdraw from
the provinces of Belgium and northern
France, leaving only a few OF their
representatives, headed by Brand
Whitlock, American minister 10 Bel
GUM, in Brussels. The action of the
commission is explained in a state
ment by commission directors which
says:

tor Warren G. Gregory from Brussels
that Baron Won der Lancken (civil
governor of Brussels) had notified him
that American citizens could no longer

seventy-Two Americans Held.

A cable dispatch from Berlin says
that Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
informs correspondents that he had
requested the Swiss government to
make inquiry In Washington regarding
the status OF the crews Of interned
German ships in American ports.
Pending an answer the seventy-two
Americans taken by the German raider
and brought in by the Yarrowdale.
whose release had been agreed to. are
being held in Germany, the foreign sec
rotary stated.
I'VE could not consent to the release
OF the Yarrowdale prisoners, which
was taken to be agreed to a week
ago." said the foreign secretary.
"These men had been taken off armed
merchantmen and their status had
been established. They will be liber-
ated Just as soon as we learn the fate
of the German crews in American
ports"
The release of the Yarrowdale pris'
oners was agreed to with Ambassador
Gerard on the eve of the break in re-
lations, but the possibility of the Ger.
man crews being interned in the
United States prompted the admiralty
to rescind the orders.

U. S. Ships Sail for War Zone.

New York, Feb. 12.-Unless the
United States government provides
conveys or guns and gunners to pro.
tect its ships, the American line, own
ers of the steamships st. Louis, st.
Paul and other liners, will not send
them across the Atlantic, it was an.
nounced here by p. A. S. Franklin.
president of the International Mer-
camille Marine.
This decision was reached after the
failure of efforts to provide their own
defensive armament, Mr.. Franklin
said. The only source of supply OF
guns In this country, he added, Seems
to be the United States government.
and our government seems dislnclined
to afford this protection"
With the stars and stripes flying
over It's taffrail, the steamship Roches-
ter, owned by the Kerr Steamship
line. with general cargo for Bor-
deaux, passed quarantine, outward
bound. shortly after p. m. on Satur.
day. The Rochester is the second
American snip TO leave TINS port since
the announcement by Germany on Jan.
81 OF her new submarine campaign.
The first was the Dochra, which
sailed Feb. for Genoa. The Roch-
ester had the national colors painted
on It's sides, together with the letters
~. S. A." No vertical red and white
stripes, as prescribed In the German
submarine note. were in evidence.
Neither was 1t armed.
The Rochester was followed by the
American steamship Orleans. owned
by the Oriental Navigation company,
also bound for Bordeaux. 1t Is slmil.
arly marked. The Orleans carries a
crew of thirty-fve men. OF whom. In
addition to Capt Tucker. thirty-two
are American citizens.

La Toilette Would Bar Guns.

Continuing his opposition to Presi-
dent Wilson's policy in breaking with
Germany, Senator r. M. La Toilette
has introduced a joint resolution pro-
viding: THAT IL shall be unlawful. at
time when the United States is not
at war, for any merchant vessel of
the United States to be armed, and to
depart from a port OF the United
States or any Of its territories or pos
sessions. for port Of any other coun.
try, It's colonies or possessions"
1t is indicated that the navy depart.
ment, while opposed for military rea-
sons to any project of conveying Amer.
lean merchantmen, favors furnishing
such ships with guns for their own
defense. In as much as the govern
ment has recognized that naval stores
are the only supply of naval guns, it
has been held that obtaining guns
from that source does not alter the
private or commercial character of a
ship.
The enforced idleness Of the Amer
lean merchant feet is viewed with
growing disquiet, and the general view
here is that not only the export trade
but the nations standing before the
world demands that American vessels
continue to ply the high seas without
regard to the German proclamation.
