panies DC. Citizen-Sailors.

Secretary OF the Navy Daniels was
among the hundreds who last night
thronged the wharf at the foot OF
the Naval Battalion. d. C. N. c.. on
their way to Norfolk. Va. where they
viii go in training in the navy yard.
Under the command of Lieut.. r. L.
Nudge. senior line ofioer. the first con-
tingent Of naval militia to leave Wash
tngton for war duty. left last evening at
s:R o'clock on the Norfolk boat. The
great crowd that gathered to cheer the
bluejackets failed in their duty at the
last moment. watching with dimmed
eyes the nattily-clad figures that lined
the rail OF the boat
As the big hawser slackened and the
sidewheeler's left paddle churned the
water into foam, the crowd of well
wishers surged forward in a wave. The
bluejackets on the hurricane deck took
up the refrain of. It's a Long Way to
Tipperary," and handkerchiefs appeared
throughout the densely- packed throng.
Secretary Daniels boarded the vessel
Just before she left the wharf. and was
closeted with Rear Admiral William 5.
Benson. who accompanied the men TO
Norfolk. Admiral Benson was much
pleased with the appearance of the men,
and said that they were as clean-cut as
any men in the navy.
The officers who accompanied the con-
tingent were Lieut.. p. d. Johnston, com
manding the First Division; Ensign F. W.
Allen, Second Division; Assistant Surgeon
Albert P. Tibbets. and Assistant Surgeon
Chester c. Groff. Two officers will remain
IN WaShinRtOn to make an inventory of
leftover equipment.
The status of two officers of the bat
talon who are employees of the Washing
ton Navy Yard is yet unsettled. They
are Lieut., ]. ]. Porter and Ensign J. J.
Talcot.
The commandant of the yard has ex-
pressed the view that these officers would
be of more value to the government at
the yard than aboard a ship of the fleet.
Thirty-nine enlisted men also were held
up. but thirteen OF them settled the ques-
tion themselves by resigning their civil
ian positions at the yard yesterday. These
men are W. s. Rhodes, ]. ]. Connor, II.
A. Lewis, E. NJ. Pletzer. A. r. Cava-
naush. E. B. Blade, K. l. Schlaich, E.
NJ. Eardley. E ]. Curtin. l. Thompson.
c. Biondi, l. H. Burdette. and H. w.
Roughley.
Two officers and twenty men have been
ordered to delay their departure from
Washington and to report aboard the
U. s. s. Sylvia, the former training ship
Of the organization, which now is in
dry dock at the Washington Navy Yard
undergoing repairs. Commander r. b.
Brummett, commanding the battalion,
has been instructed TO put the Sylvia in
full commission and report 1t to the navy
yard at Norfolk.

REASONS FOR BREAK.

because OF her determination to sup-
port Germany in her campaign Of
submarine ruthlessness, and because
the United States refused to receive
Ambasssdor-designate Count Tar
nowslry while his country was even
nominslly an indorser of the German
war plan which was destroying
American lives and property.
This was made clear in a lengthy
statement issued by the State De-
partment last night, in which the last
few days of the Austrian negotiations
were explained.
The statement made it clear that
every effort was made by the United
States to secure from the Austrian
government disavowsl of the sub
marine war zone plan, and thus to
avert break between the two coun-
tries.
To the end Austria insisted on sup
porting Germany, and at last notified
the United States, on April I, that
"if the United States declared war
on Germany, Austria Hungary would
Immediately sever her relations with
the United States"
Request Safe Conduct.
Word of the break was conveyed 10
the State Department by Baron Erich
Zwiedinek. the Austrian charge, and the
department received a cablegram from
Minister Stovall, at Berne Switzerland,
announcing that Austria had recalled her
diplomatic representatives. Immediately
ARA ngements were made to secure safe
conducts for Count Tarnowsky. the En-
hassy stan, and the Austrian consuls
throughout the country. to leave the
United States.
The status of relations between the
United States and Bulgaria and Turkey,
the remaining Teutonic allies. last night
gave the State Department grave con-
Germ.
Stephan Panareton. the Bulgarian
Minister called at the State Department
late yesterday, but the department de-
Clined to comment on his visit The Bull
garian envoy himself said that there had
been no break between his country and
the United States, and that he was merely
seeking information from the department
Turkish Situation Grave.
The Turkish situation Is the cause OF
grave anxiety. The break with Austria
has already cut of practically all com
munication with Ambassador ElkuA at
Constsntinople. which up to recently had
been maintained through Vienna
break with Turkey would seal the
doom of the thousand or more American
refugees mobilized at Beirut, and would
likewise doom the American gunboat
Scorpion. station ship at Constantinople.
There was a well-defined hope at the
State Department that relations between
the United States and Bulgaria and Tur-
key would not be disturbed.
with the Austrian situation taken out
OF the realm OF uncertainty by yester-
days break, all of the forces Of the gov
ernment concentrated on the grim prep
arations for war.
Congress began the long grind Of war
legislation. which must be continued
without intermission to supply the funds
and authority for conducting the hostIi-
ties.

bereavement, need or serious Illness
will be reported to the deaconesses
and any other cases which should be
called to their attention and they will
act as clearing house. as it were,
