No Effect
on Boston
Shipping

Boston, Feb. 1.-Germany.s submarine
threat apparently had no effect on ship
ping at this port today. At the office of
the foreign steamship lines no orders
were received to hold ships in port.
There were few foreign steamers here.
but several are on the way from oversee
ports and many liners from Boston are
now close to the restricted zone.

said that he attached no Importance to
the German note. 1t was his opinion that
the Germans had been sinking every shi,
they could sink. So far as Mr.. Thomas

trolled by his company.
The Leyland Line steamship Merctan

said that no wireless message had been

NAVY OFFICIALS
SEE NO CHANCE
GREAT DAMAGE

Washington, Feb. NAVAL officials
do not believe that material increase
in the damage to allied commerce is
to be expected. officers think it quite
possible that Great Britain may as
semble fleets of merchantmen and
take them through the danger zone
under heavy guard of light and swift
submarine destroyers. A circle Of such
boats about the merchantmen, it was
said, would make it exceedingly dan
gerous for submarine to attempt to
operate and while an occasional big
ship might be torpedoed the greater
number could be protected.
William Phillips. assistant secretary
OF state. was summoned by telegraph
to return to Washington immediately
He is in Boston and was not expected

or our opponents. Just as definite Is
our task. The conditions Of the enemy
we cannot discuss. They could only be
accepted by totally defeated people.
II therefore means that we must fight.
