Last Disastrous Raid Civ
en- as Cause of the Change
in Policy.

Geneva, Feb. 19.-The
Zeppelin campaign against
London has been found to
be Improbable. The ccssa-
ton of German air attacks
on the British metropolis
after the latest appearances
OF the big dirigiblcs over the
city last fall, has been due,
not to fortuitous circrlm-
stances. but to the deliber-
ate determination Of Ger
man leaders to abandon
these attacks, as has long
been done in the ease of
Paris.
A correspondent who was
then in Berlin was informed
from a trustworthy source
a few days after the final
London raid of the decision
to send no more Zeppelins
against London, but they
may be sent against English
provinces. Zeppelins in land
warfare are now regarded in
expert circles in Germany
as secondary to their great
value as scouting agents for
the operations of the fleet.

NO WORD RECEIVED
ON ARMING OF SHIPS
Not Known What the Atti-
tude of the Central Pow.
ers Will Be on Placing Of
Guns on Merchantmen
for Protection Against the
U-Boats.

Washington, Feb. 49,
L h G submarine situation
seemed at Il standstill today
with the government appar-
emily closely watching de-
velopments, steadily prepar-
ing itself for eventualities
and adhering to it's plans for
taking action to protect
American rights when the
moment arrives. The slack
ening of the ruthless cam
paign in the last few days is
regarded as reducing the
chance of attack on Ameri-
can ships or the loss of
American lives, but with
t h c coming of warmer
weather it is expected to
increase III intensity.
1t was authoritatively said at thu
state department that so far nothing
has been heard from the central pow
ers as to what course they would take
in the event the United States author
lied the arming of American merchant
ships.
The situation is such that 1t can be
stated positively the president has no
present intention of going to congress
to discuss it in any way"
NO COVERT ACT"
No overt act" has yet occurred ana
officials see no apparent change of at
titude toward this government by Ger
many.
The purpose of the president is un-
changed, however. He does not intend
TO pause in the work Of preparing,
merely because there appears to be q
material slump in the daily bags" of
u boats.
Formal demands have gone forward
as was expected at release of Amer.
cam .Yarrowdale prisoners held In Ber-
lin. When on Saturday confirmation OF
press reports that the prisoners had
been released failed to reach the state
department. the government cabled its
demands.
MESSAGE NOT A RESPONSE.
Twenty-four hours later Secretary
Lansing was notified by the Spaniyh
ambassador at Berlin that the pris-
oners would be released soon. This.
however, Lansing intimated today.
will not in response to Sat
nrday's demands. but rather to inuui-
ries already sent.

ions alleviated. the president today Is
