ON YARROWDALE

MORE FRICTION PROBABLE

New. York, Jan. 2o,-Three Ameri-
cans were members Of the crew OF
the British steamer Yarrowdale, cap.
tured by the German raider and taken
into a German port by prize crew,
according to the records of the Brit
ish consulate here.
Dispatches from Berlin last night
said that the Yarrowdale had brought
in 469 prisoners, crews from other
captured ships, among them l03 sub
jects OF neutral nations, but no men-
ton was made of there being any
Americans among them.~
The consulate records give the
names of the. following Americans as
having shipped on the Yarrowdale
when it left here on December e.

The Yarrowdale is registered at the
consulate as having been commanded
by Captain William Buyers Of Aber-
deem, Scotland ~-." -.
Washington, Jan. O.-The German
admiralty statement that the neutral
subjects in the crews of vessels cap
tured by the German raider in the
South Atlantic have been removed
as prisoners of war" will raise COM
plicated question if any Americans
are among them.
The whole question turns OH
whether an armed merchant ship
is a war vessel, and the
gulf between this country and
Germany on that question is still
unbridged Of course, Americans on
such ships should be considered as
prisoners of war only if the vessels
we're considered as war vessels.
No indication has been received that
any of the vessels sunk by the Ger
man raider were other than defensive
ly armed. The State department has
held throughout that vessel cannot
be classed as a warship unless it is
