though there have been years when
it was not renewed until the June

NOT AN OVERT ACT,
BERLIN DECLARES

Berlin, March 26.-Germany cannot
see why America should regard the
sinking of the tanker Healdton by a
German submarine as an overt act"
Public opinion admits, however. the
possibility that American sentiment
against Germany would be increased
by the destruction of the Healdton.
The sinking of the American steam
er Heoldton possibly will aggravate
American press pressure on President
Wilson, Berlin paper declared, "and
the entente press will doubtless as
sert this is an overt act, but constru-
ing this sinking as a reason for war
would prove that America is willfully
seeking such an occasion.
1T was unnecessary the Healdton
traverse the blockaded area. The yes
sci could have chosen the open way
used by Holland American steamers. !"
According to stories told by surviv-
ors Of the Healdton that steamer was
actually in the safety path announced
by Germany In her barred zone when
she was the victim of an unwarned
attack by German submarine.

GERMAN NEWSPAPER
CRITICISES WILSON

Berlin March 26 - The Lokal An.
zeieer accuses President Wilson OF
criminal carelessness in his conduct
of American-German relations The
paper says:
Dispatches from America and other
neutral countries repeatedly play with
the idea of the possibility of Germany
according American ships different
treatment from that given other neu.
tral steamers on the ground that Ger.
many must have an interest in avoid.
ing conflict with America.
After the chancellor. as well as the
other officials involved. repeatedly
have emphasized that there can be no
going back for us ii is only necessary
now to lay stress upon the following.
THE policy of President Wilson
since the breaking off of diplomatic
relations has been characterized by
criminal errors He desires to make
his course depend upon whether Ger
many commits an overt act, openly
hostile, against an armed American
merchantmen AT the same time he
let's it be known he has commanded
these armed merchantmen to open fire
on all submarines Immediately. 1t is
unparalleled rashness If the president
risks the lives of American citizens
in the careless belief that we will not
dare TO injure them.
I'VE have put an end to negotiations
about submarine warfare once for all.
The monstrous guilt for a German
American war, should ii come, would
fall alone upon President Wilson and
his government"

M0EWE MAY HAVE
AMERICANS ABOARD

Copenhagen, March 26.-The return
of the German raider Moewe to a
German port. having on board about
600 sailors, the crews q merchantmen
captured during the last Part Of the
cruise, may give rise to a new Var
rowdale case. as it is probable a num-
ber of An orleans who were serving
on armed merchantmen were captur-
ed by the raider. According to the
German rule such men would be treat.
ed as prisoners of war.

stroyed after the Yarrowdale was sent
to Germany were The Goernor, 1924
tons gross; Demeterton. 6,04S tons;

RELIEF FORCES

ACTION FORCED BY BREAK
President Believes Nothing Is to Be
Gained by Keeping Americans Lon
ger in Territory Occupied by Troops
of German Empire.

W oSEHiNH GrHptTC.
Washington, March 26.-American
relief workers in Belgium and Amer
lean Minister Brand Whitlock have
been formally withdrawn from Bel
GUM. Official announcement to this
effect was made at the state depart.
ment
The American relief commissioners
will be replaced as far as possible by
members of a joint neutral commits
sion largely under the supervision of
Dutch military officials.
Brand Whitlock will go to Havre,
France. resuming his duties as min
lister at the temporary Belgian capt.
tai.
The withdrawal has been inevitable
since the severance of diplomatic re
lations with Germany. Soon after
that the German military authorities
ordered all Americans to withdraw,
with the exception of Brand Whitlock
and three others who were restricted
to Brussels
The commission realized immediate
~ that the British would not allow
supplies to pass the blockade into
Belgium without adequate guarantees
and they fclt that the Germans were
simply making an effort to throw the
onus Of discontinuing the work on the
British
The commission, therefore. immedi
ately replied by ordering all OF its
men to leave Belgium. Evidently
Germany had not expected such dras
tic action and the commission was
asked to retract its order. with the ex-
planation that the original German
order had been given out by a suhordi-
nate without authority
The men We're ordered to remain,
but none had the slightest hope that
II would be more than temporary.
About forty-five Americans in Bel.
gium and Northern France are affect.
ed by the new order.
The action of the president in or.
dering the Americans out was based
on the belief that nothing was to be
gained by keeping Americans longer
in territory occupied by German
troops in Belgium and Northern
France

ming through Cambria. st. Quentin,
Lafere and Laon, is indicated by the
Paris official statement.
The French are continuing their
strong pressure from St Quentin to
the Aisne and have driven through to
the Disc river, directly north of La
fere, at some points. Apparently they
have gained control of the high ground
in this region and are able to COM
mand the city with their guns.
notwithstanding the efforts of the
Germans to destroy the roads as they
retired the allies have managed TO
bring up good force of all but their
heaviest artillery and the guns again
are busy after a long rest
The pressure OF the French from St
Quentin to the Aisne is 50 powerful
