TO PUT LIMIT ON
ARMED SHIP NEWS
Government to Grant Request
for Rules to Guide Press.
TO AVOID HELPING ENEMY
If Armed Merchantmen Are Sunk No
Effort Will Be Made To
Keep Tidings From
Public.

Observation-Disclosures a conference be-
tween Secretary Daniels and repre-
sentatives of the leading American
press associations the Government be-
gan preparation of definite regulations
to guide the press in voluntary sup
preston of information which might
be of value to an enemy.
The question of armed American
merchant craft was discussed par
ticularly, but the regulations will be
broad enough to cover any naval or
military movements the Government
deems it advisable to keep secret.
Associations Give Pledge.
The press associations have assured
Secretary Daniels of their desire to CO.
operate and, in the absence of author
ity for imposing legal censorship,
will be bound by the Governments re-
approved they will be submitted both
to the associations and to managing
editors of newspapers for discussion
and suggestion.
Mr.. Daniels took occasion to inform
the press generally that his recent re-
quest that movements of American
merchant ships be withheld from pub
LEGATION did not mean that arrivals of
such ships in American or European
ports should not be reported.
"Such arrivals" the Secretary said
could not easily afford any informa-
ton that might jeopardize life, and
such news would be of deepest inter
est to the public and should be pul
lished."
To Report Disaster.
Mr.. Daniels also gave assurances
that no effort would be made to sup
press the news if American ships,
should be sunk.
IF there should be any disaster, of
course" he said, "the information
would be furnished, and it would be
expected that the papers would print
the facts.

THREE AMERICAN
STEAMERS SUNK
Sent to Bottom By Submarines
in British Waters.
MANY OF CREWS AMERICANS
City Of Memphis Torpedoed After the
Grew Had Taken To the Boats, the
VigiIancia Sunk Without Warning
and the Tanker Illinois Sent Down.

Three steamships flying the Ameri-
can flag have been accounted for by
Germany's unrestricted submarine
warfare. Their total gross tonnage
was 1887
American steamer City of Memphis,
owned by the Ocean Steamship Com
pany, of Savannah, sailed from Cardiff
with bunker coal for New York. Com
manded by Captain Borum, native of
Virginia. Torpedoed after warning.
All her officers and crew of SO men
were American citizens. Three boats
containing 33 men landed
American steamship Vigilancia, of
the Globe Line, was sunk without
warning. Captain and 81 of the crew
of As men were Americans. Ship
valued at $1,0OO,OO0, cargo at $750,000.
Captain and five officers and Is men
landed at the Scilly Islands. Fourth
engineer and Is men missing.
American steamship Illinois, tank
er owned by the Texas Company of
New York. Her crew was landed. She
sailed from Port Arthur, Tex, Febru-
airy II for British port.
Washington. - With the announce
ment of the ruthless destruction of
three unarmed American merchant
ships by submarines, it was unoficially
admitted here Sunday night that vir-
tually a state of war exists between
the United States and Germany.
Technically the United States re-
mains in position of armed neutral
ity. Whether this shall be changed
before April 16, the date fixed for
special session of Congress, the war
making branch of the government,
President Wilson has not decided.
One step the President is contem-
plating is call for an immediate SEES
sion of Congress to hear an address
asking for authority to adopt agrees
sive measures against the submarine
menace. Already American ships are
being armed to defend themselves; the
next move must be to send warships
with order to seek out submarines and
clear the transatlantic lanes.
Some of the highest officials of the
government hold that the Executive
has the power to declare that a state
of war exists and to proceed with ag-
gressive protecting steps pending the
assembling of Congress.

what dark looking place is this p
Her car was standing in front of the
Southern express Office on Stafford av-

when the train cuts off the lights from
the places of business on the east
side of the street the west side is very
dark. That lady has bad impress

please consider this matter for what

There seems to be some misunder-
standing in regard to the business
mems meeting in the city hall last
Friday night. Many have the idea ina:
1T was for the purpose of making the
city open to all sorts of evil things.
This view is wrongit would not be
BUSINESS. There was no secret about
the meeting; it was a get-together of
the taxpayers to discuss certain COM
plants that were being talked gener-
ally on the streets-too much trading
in Tampa; the sponge sailors spend
ing so much time in Tampa as serious
ly to interfere with the sponge indus
try, and other complaints. The object
was to analyze these matters and, il
true, try to determine how best to
meet the situation.
It is good thing for the taxpayers
who are the stockholders of a city OF
town, to get together occasionally
and discuss and advise with each 9th
er on matters of public interest anc
matters of general complaint; in this
way they can be best handled or ad
justed.

suitable unless the street is opened"
Now the suitability" of the proper
ty on which the Greek Community in
tends building can be very little affect
ed one way or the other by the open
ing of the proposed street, for the rea-
son that neither does the Greek Com
munity's property front on the pro-
posed new street, nor has it proposed
to buy the adjoining lot which would
front on the new street. Some time
before the bond election, three mer.
bers of the Greek Community, without
any official authority, went to M
John K. Cheyney, who owns the lot,
and asked him the best price for this
lot, and he said that he could not ac-
cept less than $4,000. The three
members brought the matter before
the board and it was turned down as
an exorbitant price to pay, and since
then no more negotiations took place.
l do not think, therefore, that the ed
itor of The Leader ought to use the
Greek Community's name in this af-
fair, as we do not delay the building
for this reason but for other minor ie-
tails which we hope to straighten out
shortly. However, / am sure the error
was one of misinformation and not in
tended.
