WILL DEMAND RELEASE
, OF q. s. RAIDER VICTIMS
WASHINGTON. Ian. %.


The state Department expected today
to receive a report on Germany's capture
of neutrals in her recent South Atlantic
raids.
Inasmuch as this will probably show
Americans in the crews We're made prison
ers, the Government then will have new
international complication on its hands.
Its course will probably be:
To demand release of the prisoners, and.
It is indicated, Germany would not balS
at such request.
Second, to engage in a new diplomatic
ship question.
The second course seemed logical tn
authorities. though the department had
made no official pronouncement of its views
on that point up to early today.
Germany wants that veXatious problem
cleared the department, too, would like
to have it satisfactorily disposed Of
To date. there has been a gulf between
the two nations in their interpretations.
Germany says armament makes ship
war vessel, without the usual immunities
of peaceful merchantman Capture Of
prisoners on such ship, Germany holds,
is justitiable.
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 of its ideas-though perhaps not
enough to come to the German viewpoint,
Hence, the possibility of trouble is greater
today than in recent months, especially as
this issue is linked with the probability
Of a broader German submarine campaign.

ARMED SHIP ISSUE
Berlin Will Contend Vessels
With Guns Are Really

U. S. FACES CONTROVERSY
Washington Awaits Memoran-
dun From Gerard on
Teuton Stand

BERLIN, Jan. %.
A summary of the German Admiraltys
official statement on the detention as pris-
oners Of war of neutral sailors aboard
armed merchantmen captured by the Ger
man naval forces has been cabled to the
state Department at Washington by Am-
bassador Gerard. This is the only informa-
ton yet available regarding this develop
ment In naval procedure.
German official circles profess to regard
the case as affording an opportunity for
negotiations looking TO the settlement be-
tween America and Germany Of the status
of armed merchantmen. Since the men in
question are safe and the case Is not COM
plicated by the loss OF human life as might
have been involved had it arisen from the
destruction OF armed merchantmen by sub
marines optimism over an amcable ADJUST
ment is expressed here.
Since thS issuing of the German memoran-
dun on armed merchantmen carrier IN the
war German authorities have held that a
ship which mounts guns, whether they be
intended for defense or ofense, loses IT'S
status as a private commercial craft and
becomes a warshp. Sailors taking service
on such ship. German authorities contend.
Iose their neutral status just as If they
had enlisted in the naval forces OF a mel
Iiperent Therefore these sailors are ilanle

Tbese grounds arc set forth in the second
annex to the German pr.ze coue. "hCu
states explicitly that the crews OIL aI.leu
,nercha ntmen which offer resistance to GER
,,,on naval forces shall be treated as war
nrisouers. Though the memorandum ana
the prlze court take this stand, the PROB
lem has been held in allegiance.
OF late however, the armed merchant
man issue has again become pressing ana
the belief is growing that the Government
will take advantage of the situation created
by. the bringing into German port of the
prize ship Yarrowdale, with the crew held
as prisoners of war, to bring the question
to a head.
According to the British Consulate in
New York. three Americans are among the
members Of the crew of the British steam-
ship Yarrowdale captured by the German
raider in the South Atlantic The var
rowdale, with prize crew ain charge ana
the former crew as prisoners. was sailed
