DIRECT ISSUE BETWEEN U. S.
AND GERMANY OVER
RECENT CAPTURES.
SOME ARE HELD IN BRAZIL
Regardless OF Acts Of Other Nations
President Wilson Will Demand
Full Rights fer American
Citizens.

Washingtcn.--A direct issue between
the United States and Germany over
the activities of the raider campaign
in South Atlantic waters was raised
when word was received that three
Americans We're members of the crew
OF the British steamer Yarrowdale
captured by the German raider and
taken into a German port by a prize
crew.
1t is not likely, however, thar any
thing will be done until il is defin-
itely ascertained whether these or
other Americans Were among the lob
subjects of neutral countries. crews
of the larrowdale and other captured
vessels. who were taken as prisoners
to Germany. The state department
has cabled Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin for this information.
If Americans are held as prisoners
demand for their release will be i'm
n~ediately forwarded to Berlin. but
fun facts are awaited, as it was
thought: possible the German officers
might have transferred the American
sailors to other vessels. preparatory
tc landing them at neutral ports.
Brazil Expected to Free Eight.
No direct action as yet has been
taken toward demanding the release
OF the eight Americans landed at Per,
nambuco, Brazil, by one of the yes
sells seized by the German raider.
The Brazilian government is expect
ed TO force the release OF these men
under the precedent established by
the United States when the British
sailors brought into Norfolk as prjs.
oners on the German prize Appan
were released by the United States.
The position of the United States
then was that belligerents could no,
hold prisoners of war on neutral soil
Brazil is expected to take a similar
position.
Germany's capture of neutral pris.
oners raises a different question. rs
III this case the crews were taken
prisoners to belligerent territory.
Regardless OF what position nay be
taken by other neutral governments
whose subjects We're seized, it was
authoritatively stated that the United
States will demand full rights under
international law for it's citizens
even If they are employed as mem.

Heretofore national committee

under present conditions Congress-
man VanDyke will new no doubt
have more to say about this than
the former if the administration
hopes to keep his support invclv-

The House of Representatives is
80 close politically that one vote
cast either way would carry or de-

reason the Wilson administration
cannot afford to antagonize MIR.

who cannot be of any assistance to
