AMERICA is DETERMINED TO

U.S.W|LL ARM ALL SHIPS
PRESIDENT FORMALLY NOTIFIES
REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL
POWERS IN WASHINGTON.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, March 14.-Formal no.
tice that American ships traversing
the German submarine zone are to
carry armed guards for the protec-
tion of the vessel and the lives of the
persons on board" was sent by the
State Department to embassies and
legations of all foreign governments
in Washington Following is the text
of the communication, which was
made public by the State Depart
ment:
"In view of the announcement OF
the German government on Jan. 81,
1917, that all ships. those of neutrals
included, met within certain zones OF
high seas would be sunk without any
precaution being taken for the safety
of the persons on board and without
the exercise of visit and search, the
government of the United States has
determined to place upon all Ameri'
can merchant vessels sailing through
the barred areas an armed guard for
tue pTOttCtlOH Ol tit htsSeio anu ehS
lives of the persons on board"
The Navy Departments position Is
that 1t will equip with arms all ships
whose owners apply to it.
1t was learned at the State Depart.
ment that the. United States holds
that the presence of naval gunners on
American merchantmen will not
change the status Of those ships. as
this country has never accepted the
assertion OF Germany that naval men
on British merchantmen rendered
them auxiliary warships.
Guns and gunners will be placed on
munition ships as well as other boats
It was declared, and the naval men
will be responsible directly to the
government and not to the captains
OF the ships to which they are as.
signed. Whether commissioned Off
GERS are used is entirely up to the
Navy Department. II is stated.
The position OF the President and
the State Department now is that
II Germany wishes to avoid armed
conflict Win tne Unlteu Sth'es, tne
only way is to spare American ships.
Amsterdam.-The Koenische Volks
Zeitung. copy Of which has been re-
ceived here. admits that the arming OF
American merchantmen will make
Germany's position more difficult. II
expresses the belief that the Ameri-
cans will not find II easy to provide
guns and gun crews. and says It does
not believe the danger to German sub
marines will be increased,
we have always maintained" says
the newspaper. that n victory over
England would be impossible unless
we also determined TO face America.
This moment has now come. II an
American declaration OF war arrives.
the German people will accept II with
the same determination and conf.
dence that they have accepted all
previous declarations"

TALKS TO ROTARY CLUB.
E. T. O'Brien of Kenosha Speaks on
'ECredit Standards to Business
Men of Waukegan.

E. T. O'Brien of the Citizens Bank
of Kenosha was the principal speaker
at meeting of the Rotary Club held
in Waukegan this afternoon. With his
usual grasp of facts and eonciseness in
delivery he presented an interesting
address on the subject of "Credit
Standards. " That the business men
were pleased with his remarks was evil
denced by the applause which he re-
ceived not only at the conclusion of
his speech but also from time to time
In the course of its presentation. Ere
quent flashes Of patriotic fervor gave
zest to the talk and made it especially
appropriate to the wartime meeting of
the business men. The Rotary Club Of
Waukegan bears the same relation to
the commercial life of that city as does
the Kiwanis Club to the business world
of Kenosha. Consequently it is no
small recognition of Mr.. O'Brien s
ability that he was chosen to address
the association at one Of it's most i'm
portant gatherings.

Local Liberty Boys
Leaue September %

Due to slight mistake in the issu-
ance of orders it has been falsely report
ed that the first contingent of the new
national army would leave Kenosha on
September 10. The local exemption
board received notice of the error this
morning and is anxious that the public
should be Immediately informed of the
change in date. The next contingent Of
the honor men will probably entrain for
Battle Creek on the 22nd of September
The hour has not as yet been set but it
is likely that the morning train will be
chosen as in the case of the first quota
which left on Thursday Of last week
This gives the liberty boys some three
or four more days with the folks back
home and at the same time gives the
government added time in which to com
plete the environments at Camp Custer.
1t is not thought that the change will
interfere with the plans for an appro-
pirate send-off for Kenosha's newest
patriots The various functions ar.
ranged in honor of the nation s soldiers
will be presented according to schedule
and so leave ample time for prepara-
tions for the final demonstration on
the day of departure. Viewed in this
light the trifling postponement becomes
stroke of good luck inasmuch as it
provides an opportunity for further hon.
age to the "Liberty Boys of IT."
