U.S.INvESTICATES|
Asks Germany if Americans
Are Held Captive.
See Prospects for Row Over
Armed Ship Question.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Inquiry has
been made of Germany as to whether
there were any Americans among the
1913 neutral sailors brought in as pris-
oners of war on the German prize.
Yarrowdale, for having been employed
on armed merchantmen. The inquiry
was made entirely on press reports
and not on any official information
which has come to the state depart
ment.
The state departments first official
word on the German raiders capture
of prisoners came from Ambassador

total prisoners numbered 469-

in the number. officials said.
The message referred to prisoners
O.. the Yarrowdale, which has arrived
at a German port.
In case Germany's official answer
show Americans in the crews of Brit
ish ships were made prisoners. the
government then will have a new in
ternational complication upon its
hands.
Its course will probably be:
To demand release of the prisoners,
and it is indicated Germany will not
balk at such a request.
To engage in a new diplomatic eX-
change looking to settlement of the
armed ship question.
Both Want Question Settled.
The second course seemed logical
to authorities, tho the department had
made no official pronouncement of its
views on that point up to early today.
Germany wants that veXatious prob
lem cleared; the department, too,
would like to have it satisfactorily
disposed of.
! To date there has been a gulf be-
tween the two nations in their inter
probation. Germany says armament
makes a ship a war vessel, without
the usual immunities of n peaceful
merchantmen. Capture of prisoners
on such a ship, she holds, is justifi-
able.
On the other hand, the United
States says defensive" armament is
proper, and clears vessels thus armed
But there have been slight indications
| in the past two or three months that
the United States might alter some

to come to the German viewpoint.
Hence, the possibility of disa greement
was greater today than in recent
months, especially as this issue is

In the list of the men Of New

the name of Morris Garlick. This
man is secretary of the Down Town

Prominent in the real uplift work
of the worlds greatest city, he holds

whom he comes in contact in buSi-
ness. political, church and fraternal
affairs. Since boyhood, and for 45
years, he has labored. He is now
81 years old. 1t is only natural
that, with all his activities, the
strain should begin to tell.
Maybe | have overworked,' said
MIR Garlick, but, al sny rate, | be-

of appetite, failure to assimilate the
nourishment 1 needed, and nervous

the average man calls all run down,
and there are lot of us in every
city. l felt as if l needed some
thing to build me up-something
that would bring back the strength

help take away the worries, give me

no further proof asked. He felt it
was his duty to tell of Tanlac to help
others. No other medicine ever
has won such support. Because
Tanlac is the great reconstructive,
system purifier and stomach tonic,
supreme for weak, nervous, ailing
men and women who need more
strength, better digestion and re-
vitalization of the nervous system,
it receives endorsements like this.
