How the American Ambassador and his

Americans here fully share the fear gem
orally prevalent among the German pub
lie that after the diplomatic represent
atives have returned to their respective
countries. or possibly even before, war
will come. AS far as Germany is con-

1t is no exaggeration to say that news
of President Wilson'S action had the ef-
feet of a dash of cold water upon nation
wide joy provoked by Germany's an
nouncement of unrestricted warfare. The
great mass of the German people is
against war with America. The best
proof of this was offered by the national
support the Kaiser received when he dis
missed Tirpitz. the German peoples idol
The prevailing feeling was then, as 1t is

White House and Depart

and Guard frightened.
l,ooO, 900 FOR ARSENALS

with Anti-Aircraft Guns
for War Use. -, ..

An electric shock passed through Of
rcial Washington yesterday in the form
Of inststent echoes and reports Of plots
to blow up public buildings in various
parts Of the nation.
Guard was frightened everywhere. Rigid
precautions against disaster were taken.
The White House was inspected from
cellar to roof and other government build
ings were searched for bombs and other
deadly explosives.
The alarm Is not spun out Of thin air.
It has a real basis, say government agents
and Secret Service men, Of whom there
are more now In Washington than at any
time IN recent history.
The public buildings inspection was done
by Mai. Raymond Pullman, superintend-
ent Of police, and Commissioner Brown
low, in charge Of the Department Of Public
Safety, accompanied by expert police
aids. They went to every part OF the
White House, State, War and Navy De-
partment and other public buildings
1t was declared last night that inforrna-
ton gathered by the Secret Service dur
ing the years of the war is being utilized
and practically every strategic point IN
the country Is under guard.
The immediate passage OF Dill giving
the Department of Justice power to deal
with destruction or attempts at destruc-
ton of property of a foreign government
with which the United States Is at peace,
was recommended yesterday by the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee. The measure
ia aimed particularly at plots to destroy
ships living in American harhorS.
The governments attitude toward crews
of war-bound German Vessels in Ameri-
can ports was made clear by Secretary
Of Labor Wilson.
He declared that as long as they remain
aboard their ships they will be unno-
Tested, but when they come ashore to
remain they will take the status Of all
other aliens and IN the event of war
would be subject to Imprisonment. They
are not barred from seeking erupfoyfuent
on ships other than those of German reg
istry The chances of their seeking such
employment were slight, officials said.
To protect arsenals and n1unition fac
tories in the United States more than
q. 100000 will be appropriated, under an
emergency item in the army appropria-
ton bill drawn up by the House Military
ported after a conference between Sec
retary OF War Baker and the committee.
II provides an appropriation OF s7oo.oOc
for anti-aircraft guns for these depots
and s4o0 900 for ammunition for the guns.
It will be reported to the House within
a few days.

WILL NDORSE HIS ACT
American Vessels Urged Not to Sail
Into German Submarine
Zone.

Preparing for any eventuality that
may grow out of the German crisis,
but hoping to avert actual hostilities,
President Wilson last night faced
two great problems. They were:
The handling and protection of
American shipping which, clearing
from an American port, rhay go
down to death and destruction in the
German submarine zone, precipitating
a physical clash between the United
States and Germany.
The status of Austria, which in a
formal note has indorsed the German
declaration of relentless submarine
warfare, practically forcing the
United States to take the same posi-
ton toward her which has broken re-
lations between this country and the
German government.
Urges Caution for ships.
With the war machinery of the gov
ernment running at top speed in prep
aration for any possible development,
the State Department yesterday in a
communication to American ship-own-
ers urged the utmost caution.
American ships were advised against
sailing into the German submarine
zone, and the risks of ocean travel
were pointed out. The State Depart
ment last night, however. made clear
that American vessels have full right
to sail. that they are not ordered or
requested not to sai,, and that they
will be fully protected III their rights
on the seas. The question of how this
protection was to be extended was
one of the big problems confronting
the President. the State department,
and the War Department.
No American liners sailed yesterday,
and at the State Department il was
said that their sailings might be de-
layed 1t was stated, however, that
delays will be brief. and that there
would be no extraordinary suspension

comment in an interview to a represent
ative OF the Berliner Tageblatt.
Astonishing" was Secretary thinner

Wilson's action. In the same breath he

or even modify it. He reiterated that
unlimited submarine warfare was forced
upon Germany by the entente's refusal
of the Teutonic peace offer. 1t was the
only weapon left, he added, "in the fight
for our existence against the entente
violations of international law" He con-
cluded:

made no unconditional promises to avoid
unlimited submarine warfare. We have

James w. Gerard, American Ambassa-
dor to Germany, at 10 o'clock last night
received the formal notice OF recall sent
to him by cable from the Washington

SPHERE could be no heart and soul in good

servation. AS Idaho representative OF the federal
food administration he has given his time his ability and
his money bring people to keen sense OF the re-
sponsblity resting upon them to aid in this most import
ant work
It is only just to say this in recognition of Mr. Bick
nes abors We glad that he has been successful
We are proud to have assisted him. Any criticism on our
part therefore, be regarded other than friendly
and, we hope advisory.
Steps have been taken by Mr. Bcknell to inaugurate
reign of the blacklist in Idaho against any merchants
who do not agree to the leash and carry plan We fear
this is mistake and that better results possible
through other means.
The blacklist cannot be Endorsed by the federal govern
ment without establishing precedent for citizens that
may arise to seriously annoy it,
The public will be quick to any practical benefits
in the leash and carry policy If it is possible for it to
result in reduction in the cost of living business man
would nterpose himself against the plan it at all pos
sible for him to adopt it.
In other Words public sentiment will carry the plan
through public sentiment will it to fail There
does not to be any justification for the adoption of
any harrassing measures.
In the absence Of specific authority to enforce "cash
and carry of the opinion have stated that
better results possible without the blacklist both d
recty and indirectly Avoidance of division and serious
contention should be perpetuay sought Arousal of feel
ing should be dscountenanced and harsh steps, when
sanctioned by law, should be the last resort
