WAR WILL FOLLOW LOSS
OF AMERICAN LIFE



Until all the facts are established
beyond question, the President is not
expected to indicate whether he con-
siders that the California case pre-
sents an issue demanding action. In
his address to Congress Saturday, the
President said he would come again
before that body to ask authority to
take further steps 'if American ships
and American lives should in fact be
sacrificed. 1t was pointed out that
so far is known, no American was lost
on the California, and no American
ships have been sunk without warn
ing since Germany announced her
new campaign.
Senate Endorses Break
Every effort was made to-day to
clear up the details of the liners de-
struction, while preparations went
steadily forward in every branch of
the government to make the country
ready for whatever the decision may
be.
The Senate's endorsement of the
break with Germany was given yes
terday by adoption of the Stone reso-
luton, by vote of rs to 5.
American ship owners to-day had
official notice from the State Depart
ment that it could not advise them
whether their vessels should sail
through the war zone, but that in
general they still held the same right
to go anywhere on the seas they had
before the issuance of the new Ger
man submarine notice. In effect, they
were told they might arm their ships
for defensive purposes.
Secretary McAdoo announced in
creases ranging from 125 to 900 per
cent. on war risk insurance for ship
ping, issued by a Federal bureau.
The United States Government felt
assured to-day of the moral support
of most neutrals in the protest against
Germany's course, although it ap-
peared improbable that any would
follow the lead of this country and
break relations. Preliminary reports
of the neutrals' replies to Germany in
dicated they would denounce the new
sea warfare.

tanned as hostages.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from. Copenhagen gives the same re-
port regarding the detention of AM
orleans in Germany and adds that Am
bassador Gerard is not permitted to
send kilograms in code.
Washington, i-eb. 9. - Ambassador
Gerard, American consuls and the
American sailors brought in on the
prize ship Yarrowdale are being held
| in Germany until assurances have been
received from here as to the safe de-
parture of, Count Won Bernstorff and
| the German consulS and the safety of
| German warbound ships in this coun-
! try.
1t was said at the State Department
i to-day that sensational reports have
become current in Germany that the
! German ships here have been confls-
Gated and their crews seized. Pend
ing confirmation Germany has detain-
! ed the Americans.
officials here are inclined to mini
mize the Importance of the detention
because they believe it largely has
arisen from a misunderstanding and
soon will be Strengthened out.
1t has been officially announced that
there is no intention of taking the
German ships. Moreover dispatches
have been conveyed to Germany
through the Spanish embassy as to the
courtesies granted to former German
| officials in this country and their re
ceipt is expected to clarity greatly any
misconception in Germany as to Am
erica,s attitude.
| The whole policy of the State De-
| partment is to proceed with the strict
| est regularity in order to afford alb
| solutely no ground for offense. The
| United States will be extremely pune
| tilious and place the whole RESPONSE
bility of a more serious development
| upon Germany
| Probably so Americans are affected
| in the American embassy at Berlin
and the twenty-five consulates in Ger
many, the four in Belgium and the
| one at Warsaw. There are 101-Amer-
/ lean citizens among the consulates, ten
| among the regular embassy staff and
at least twenty among the forty other
| clerks and attaches at the embassy.
That Ambassador Gerard is still in
Berlin and not at Berne, Switzerland
as was thought possible yesterday, is
shown in dispatch received to-day
! from Ambassador Willard at Madrid
/ Mr.. Willard said that the impression
| that Gerard was at Berne had been
due to a telegraph mistake. The dis
| patch should have been dated Berlin
via Berne" instead of "Berne."

McCumber Wants Views
of Government on German
Use of Submarines

Washington, Feb. s. - Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican, of North Dakota,
produced a resolution to-day to have
the Secretary of State, if compatible
with public interest, submit to the
Senate the governments view of the
limitations on the use of the submar-
Inc demanded by this government
from Germany as set forth in the
diplomatic correspondence.
Il think 1T is not clear just what we
hold the limitations of submarines
to be in this war" said he. LAS il was
on this subject that we severed rela-
tions with Germany, we ought to know
as accurately as possible just what the
government deems to be an infringe
ment of international law to the end
that we may avoid a conflict if possi-
bic and that other nations may be
put on their guard as to what we be-
lieve to be a gross abuse of these
Subsea craft" t..
The resolution was not discussed but
may be called up tomorrow.
The resolution asks for the views
of the use of the submarines:
of the use of tn esubmarine:
AS against belligerent merchant
vessels carrying American goods not
contraband of war.
Against such vessels in respect to
warning and safety of passengers and
crew.
In respect to the sinking of Amer
ican vessels carrying contraband with
out notice where the death of passcn-
gers or crew does not result
I'm respect to American vessels car
rying mails to belligerent countries.
In respect to any other acts of sub
marine warfare which this govern
ment holds to be clearly against inter
national law and cause for war; to the
end that not only the American peo-
pie but also any belligerent nation
may fully understand what acts OF
submarine warfare may involve this
country in the present word conflict

the undersea boats are maintaining
the average of destruction set by the
Berlin naval experts as necessary to
success.
The third days reported losses to-
tailed 1885 tons and the preceding
two days totaled $500.
AT such a rate the destruction of
100000 tons a month, which is the
German aim, would seem about to be
accomplished. German naval experts
contend that such an average would
cut England off from the world and
end the war by her starvation.
1T is realized here, however that the
British government is not lacking in
measures to keep, the sea lanes open
and that these will become apparent
as the campaign progresses. 1t is
pointed out that while the world
knows of the losses of merchant ships,
1t knows little, if anything at all, about
the costs of the submarine flotillas.

GARDEN SEED AND

Garden seed and tools with which

in this city and a program similar to
that of last year given. The work of
Miss RAM is securing splendid re-
suits and the people are generally CO.
operating with her.
A Sewing Club has been organized
and Mrs. Houghland has donated the
use of her machine to be kept in Miss

OF McKIN-
LEY SYSTEM At POWER PLANT

A representative of the Mckinley
system arrived in this city Thursday
and placed a graphic instrument on
the "board" of the Mexico Power
Company for the purpose Of securing
lofinite knowledge of the amount of
electricity used here. E. R. Locke,
of the Power Company, will meet a
representative of the Mckinley sys-
tenn this week to confer regarding the
distribution of Keokuk power through
the local company. Mr.. Locke, how
ever, says he believes such an ar
rangement at this time is practically
impossible because of the high cost
of material which would enter into the
extension of the line to Mexico.
The extension has been discussed
frequently in the press and if the Har-
ris bill passes the Legislature and re-
moves the limitations placed upon for
eign money investing in this State,
some definite action may be expect
ed from the Mckinley system.
1t looks now as if the Hannibal short
line would make a discussed extension
from Perry to Santa Fe joining the
local interurban line. This is con-
sidered as the initial move of the Nc
Kinley system for an interurban in
this state.
