CAPTAIN HONORS
AMERICAN WOMAN
Heroine Of LaCOnia Last to
Leave Ship.

Queenstown, Feb 28.-An unusual
scene was witnessed on the Queens.
town docks when the steamship Lo.
COMA survivors landed here. AS the
ship was made fast great crowd of
civilians. soldiers. sailors and nurses
began cheering and singing under the
leadership Of shrilLvoiced woman
cheer leader In the uniform of the
women's national service organization.
The first woman to land was an
American woman, Mrs. F. E Harris,
to whom was accorded this honor by
the captains orders, because Of her
heroism in supervising the departure
OF the women and children from the
sinking ship She was the last pas
senger to leave the Laconia. standing
by the sido Of the captain and going
the rounds with him. carefully check
ing OF the women and children pas
sengers to see that they were all in
their places and provided with cloth
ing, blankets and tarapulins.
After Mrs. Harris came other wom-
en- and children, all ciinging still to
their life belts, and then the men pas
sengers. some with life belts and some
wearing life saving waistcoats.
Austomobiles were waiting for the
survivors, who were conveyed swiftly
10 the Queens hotel. where nurses
provided dry clothing and warm baths.
In half hour the men. women and
children who had come OF the rescue

were ready for q really sumptuous

Although the passengers showed the
effects OF the ordeal. they put merry

AUSTRIAN BREAK
ALMOST CERTAIN
Diplomatic Corps Await Word
From Washington.

Washington, Feb. 2S--All necessary
Arrangements for the withdrawal OF
American diplomatic and consular of
acers from Austria-Hungary have been
made by Ambassador Penheld ON In,
suuctions from the state department
It was learned that the ambassador
had been directed TO take this step
the belief AZ the department being
that q break IN relations "a Inevitable.
The Spanish government has been
aaked TO take over American inter
ests and plans have been made TO ex-
pedits the withdrawal Of all Ameri.

The last report from Ambassador

these Instructions were senk. suggest
ed . slight possibility that Anstria's
reply TO this governments aide mem
DIRE. asking a definition Of her atti-
tude IN the submarine situation might
be favorable. No real hope was raised
here. however. and no change In In.
structions followed.
The feeling prevails here that while
both this country and Austria are
seeking 10 avoid break. Germany is
that her ally shall support
to the greatest degree possible the
submarine campaign.
The withdrawal Of thu American
and consular corps from
Austria Will not preseni aB difficult
problem as IN the case Of Germany.
The embassy force at Vienna Is small

OPEN INSULT SEEN BY U. S.

Questioned = Angry Over Broken
Promise Of Release Grows.

Berlin tby wireless to sayville),
Feb. 2S.-Although the release Of the
American prisoners brought to Ger
many on the steamer Yarrowdaie. had
been ordered some time ago. 1t can
not be carried out for, the moment,
as an infectious disease has been dis
covered at the place of their residence.
AS the outbreak of the malady neces-
states quarantine measure affecting
the number OF persons about to leave
Germany, the Overseas agency states
that the delay in the departure of the
Americans is in the interest of neutral
countries. The hope is expressed that
the quarantine will be of short dura-
ton. The American citizens, It is
announced. are safe and we'll.

DOUBT GERMAN STATEMENT
U. s. Officials See Open Insult In
Holding Americans.

Washington, Feb. 28.-The delay of
Germany in complying with repeated
American demands for release OF the
Yarrowdale prisoners is bringing the
controversy TO a stage of extreme
gravity.
From the first perhaps the most
serious difficulty between the two
countries aside from the submarine
issue itself, the Yarrowdale case has
been a source OF growing concern and
indignation among officials, some OF
whom now are convinced that Ger.
manys intention is nothing more nor
ness than to hold the American sea
men hostages pending decision as
TO peace or war.
Such an act would be regarded here
-as not only fragrant violation OF In
ternational law and treaty rights, but
an open insult TO the dignity and good
faith OF the United States. While the
administration has been inclined to
subordinate all collateral issues to
the paramount principles involved in
the submarine campaign, the plight OF
the Yarrowdale men has forced itself
steadily forward as one of the most
important factors In the whole Ger.
man crisis.
Although no oficial advtoes report
ing the redetention Of the seamen had
reached the state department, another
inquiry regarding them was sent
through the Spanish ambassador In
Berlin as soon as officials saw news
dispatches saying they would not be
liberated at present because Of dis
ease at their camp. IN most quarters
the reported cause for redetention was
regarded as only a pretext.
Once before the United States was
advised that the prisoners had been
released but II developed that the Ger
man officials had decided 10 hold them
until II was learned what treatment
German citizens and property were re-
ceiving IN this country. That. too.
was regarded here as pretext. for
full information had been sent to Der,
lin showing that the United States
was giving every confederation to
German interests here.
When the Yarrowdale- q prize ship,
took the American seamen into Ger
many two months ago, the German
government announced that they were
being held because they had taken
pay on armed entente merchantmen
by the German raider. In
response TO the protests Of the Omitted
6tatea. however, theSe has been no

under international hIu. md officials

from which the German retreat swings
backward. The line has been carried

known that the Germans have been
preparing defenses that far back for
some time, where they hope to hold
against the expected allied offensive.
The German retirement, coming SO
closely on the heels of unrestricted
submarine war, forms one of the most
interesting phases Of the great war.
The Germans gave the first intimation
OF the near approach of their retire
ment when they evacuated Grande-
court three weeks ago. This was evil
denoe Of new German tactics, for
all the bitter fighting of
1916 they never yielded an inch of
ground until they were driven out at
the point of the bayonet.

battle of the Marine. The events of
the last two days have sent thrill
through the entire British army--a
thrin which seems to forecast the end
Of the stationary warfare.
