Phone, Algiers 1873.
Last Sunday, September 80, was
marked by good attendance at both
services.
At the morning hour the pastors
subject was Psalm 9l:l-2. He that
dwelleth in the secret place of the
Most High shall abide under the
shade of the Almighty. | will say Of
the Lord. He is my refuge and my
fortress: My God; in Him will ]
trust"
The Junior Choir had two special
songs, viz: God Is Near" and A
Precious Friend"
The night subject was EcCleSiastes
40. Say not, thou, what is the
cause that the former days were better
than these? for thou dOst not inquire
wisely concerning this"
The choir sang an especially pretty
anthem. Mrs. Jessie Summers song
was very much appreciated.
Next Sunday night Miss Grace Len
nOX will sing a solo. The pastor be
gins a series of sermons from the
Sermon on the Mount.
The Boy Scouts held an interesting
meeting Monday night. Al the close
of routine business the scout master
announced to them that their drill

promoted from chief bOatswain'S mate

Wilson to Stop
Indirect Tie-Up
of American Ships
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington, Feb. 11.-President Will
son does not intend that Germany shall
accomplish by indirection what she
tried 10 accomplish directly-nsmely,
the tying up Of American transatlantic
trade. The ship owners have advised
the Administration that they have can
ysssed the private manufacturers and
are unable TO obtain guns suitable for
arming their vessels, although Secre-
tsry Lansing has advised them that
they are at liberty 20 arm the ships.
10 was suggested to-day that some OF
the small calibre naval guns, OF which
the navy has q surplus, might be con-
demned and sold 10 the American ship
owners. IL Is unde atoOd that the Lines
are having no trouble IN finding former
naval guErels - MAJ the guns. There
is no intention <or the pIeseEt OF con-
Noying any American vessel.
In some manner American shipown-
ers probably will nave their difficulty
solved in a few days. Strong intims-
tons were given in official quarters
tonight that, while the government
will not actually arm merchant craft
or formally advise arming, way will
be found 10 put weapons at the dis
posal OF owners who desire 10 pre-
pare FOR defence against Illegal at
tack.
The general view here is that not
only the export trade but the nations
standing before the world demands
that American vessels continue to ply
the high seas without regard TO the
German proclamation, which the gov
ernment has repudistsd with the most
severe means IN It's power short Of war.

Sentry's S Shots
Drive Prowlers
From Aqueduct
Trespassers Near White Plains,
One with Bag, Escape
in Auto

Only the vigilance and ready rife OF
a National Guardsman saved the Cats
kill Aqueduct from being dynamited at
Pleasantyille, just north Of White
Plants, early yesterday morning, ac-
cording TO residents there. Officers and
enlisted men of the Guard preserved
strict silence. but there seems to ne
little doubt that a sentry on duty near
the meter vault, in East Pleasantville'
fred twice at two men approaching
the great pipe when they had ignored
his command "Halt!"
The meter vault, cylindrical struct-
ure of stone and concrete, with an iron
door. stands on steep bank overlook
ing Broadway, south of Bedford Road.
There are several houses within a few
hundred feet, the nearest being the
home Of Francis L. Adrian, secretary
of the Michael j. Adrian Corporation,
1877 East Thirty-fourth Street.
At about / a. m. large automobile,
which previously had been noticed by
sentries in Old Pleasantvlle, halted
beside Broadway at the foot OF the
bank on which the meter vault stands.
Flee at Cry of Halt"
Although a fierce wind was blowing,
the sentry at the vault caught the
chugging Of the engine. and presently
saw Two men. black IN the moonlight,
climbing the bank Mt a point where the
slope was negotiable. Their course
would bring them TO the line Of the
aoueauct and the sentinel watched them
closely. One carried travelling bag.
Reaching the top of the bank they
started toward the meter vault.
Halt" the sentinel shouted, coming
TO the ready
The two figures came on.
Halt or | fire,'
In an instant the pair bolted pell-
nell down the declivity, the man with
the bag holding to it grimly, although
his persistence cost him fall. The
Guardsman fired at the figures that
were rapidly vanishing beneath the
shelter Of the bank in smother OF
snow, and got in two shots before his
targets disappeared.
Running to the edge OF the cut he
saw them Chamber into their car and
drive off at top speed. They drove up
+ BROADWAY 10 beu1OTu hOhu anu buIHtu
east, taking course that might lead
them TO Tarrytown or Ossining.
Tracks Found in Snow
Officers forbade the men to trsmple
/ the snow in the vicinity, and as soon
AS daylight appeared an investigation
was made 20 make sure that the senti-
mel had not been the victim OF nerves
and moonlight. The tracks OF the two
prowlers were plain, indicating a
stealthy course until the top OF the
bank had been attained. and thereafter
n series of slides and leaps.
MIR. Adrian said last night that he
had been awakened some time before
dawn by the shouting Of the guards
and what he took TO be reports Of
guns.
An engineer employed in the con-
struction Of that section OF the adue-
duet said that anybody who did any
damage 70 IL there with only suitcase
fuU Of dynamite would be fool for
luck. A wagonload OF the stuff mi ght
do the trick, he said, and possibly a
spitcase Of II, but not unless the dyna-
inter happened 10 set II in precisely
The proper place.

Berlin Asks Farley, but
Officials Say Move
Is Insincere
TRYING TO DIVIDE
PUBLIC OPINION
Rejection Predicted Un-

During Negotiations
rB, The As.od.trd r-~sl

Washington, Feb IL. - The CEN
man proposal delivered TO the statA
Department yesterday that means
be discussed of preventing the break
in relations from resulting In war
apparently has struck no responsive
cord here. No official would indicate
to-day whether a reply already had
teen given, but there was no DISPOSE
ton to deny that the proposal has
been made or TO deny that the Amer
ican government regarded it as an
effort on the part of Germany 10
be fog the issue.
II was made clear everywhere ia
government circles that there was
nothing to discuss unless Germany
desired TO stop abridging American
rights and illegally menacing AmerL
car life.
In connection with the German
suggestion special interest attached
- cable dispatches announcing that
Emperor William had called con-
ference, presumably TO discuss the
submarine campaign and the position
of neutrals. 1t was suggested that
out of the conference might come
something more tangible than the
mere oral suggestion that Germany
would tike TO discuss means of pre-
venting The addition of another na-
tion to her long list OF enemies.
What has been done so far is COM
strued only as an attempt to- place
upon the United States the appear
ance of belligerency. The chief pur-
pose, it is believed, is TO bew1lder
public opinion here and divide the
country, and the move is about as
unwelcome here as if Mr.. Gerard in
Berlin had gone behind the German
government through the Spanish
Ambassador, who represents ths
United States there, in an appeal TO
the German people on a wholly in-
complete issue.
Whether any sort of answer VIII
be made beyond a mere acknowledge
ment TO the Swiss Minister, who pre-
sented the suggestion yesterday, II
uncertain, as that matter rests ens
tirely with President Wilson. opinv
ions differ, some believing it wises
to ignore the suggestion entirely.
1t is possible that a summary ID
the present submarine campaign
with a list Of the sinkings without
warning and the loss of lives, mag
be submitted as further showing why
the United States and other neutrals
believe Germany's course outside the
bounds Of law.

Prima Donna Keeps Theatre

The place was the Maxine Elliott

It was at the close OF one OF the

choked and aching to sing the hymn,
when her own husband stood reverent-
ly, she sat still.
Miss Farrar won her first fame in
Germany. II is known that she was ad-
mitted 10 certain higher circles OF the
Prussian Court. In 1915 German pa

Bryan and BernstOrff
Working for Delay
By STEVENSON n. Evans

Washington, Feb. 11-William \
Bryan is trying to put a halter Oh
the Administration by means Of the
organized efforts Of all the pacifists
and the peace-at-any-price men in
the country.
Count Won Bernstorff, the former
German Ambassador, with the as
sistance of his many diplomatic
friends in the country, is doing his
utmost to assist the Bryan propa-
ganda by means Of informal, unoffi-
cial and assembling suggestions
that the German government is
ready to modify her campaign OF un-
restricted submarine frightfulness.
The efforts of Bryan already are

degree in Congress. The same sort
Of a campaign that was put into ef-
tect to force the passage Of the

Sunday by Bryan, Bernstorf and
pro-Germans in the Senate. Bryans

gotiations they had hoped to under
take upon the basis Of the Ameri-
can reply.
From last Sunday evening on
rome of them seemed to cherish
rnuch expectation that the status Of
rupture of relations would last
long, and that full breach was al
most inevitable.
The German people, in its very
majority, would have been glad to
see peace brought about from the
German overtures. Once these
failed, and the belief became fixed
that the Entente intended to fight
on for a complete victory, the aver
age German declared for the use Of
any weapon which might compel
reace, even at the risk Of bringing
in the United States. The major
ity undoubtedly would have pre-
forred to avoid a breach with the
United States, but they were will
ing to take that in the bargain in
trying the weapon in which they
now see the only possible means Of
bringing the war to a quick end.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg,
chief of the General staff, they are
informed, is for ruthless submarine
war, and tho field marshaps name
still holds a spell upon German
minds. His judgments inspire con-
f.dence in the hearts Of the German
masses.

Kaiser Summons
Chiefs to Confer
on U-Boat Crisis
Worried by Neuhals, Leaders
Will Consider Negotiations
to Modify Policy
By ARTHUR 8. DRAPER
fBy Cable 10 The rnbunsl

London, Feb. 1.-THE impression
is gaining ground in diplomatic
quarters to-day that Germany is be-
coming alarmed over the possible en-
trance of America into the war, and
is trying desperately TO find some
way out without receding entirely
from her position Of ruthless saw
agery.
Confirmation of this is seen to-day
in the news that the Kaiser has
called another important conference
at general headquarters. The mes
sage, coming from the Exchange
Telegraph Company's Amsterdam
correspondent, says that the confer
ence will take up the submarine sit
uation and that Chancellor Won.
-Hollweg and high army
and navy officials will attend. 1t is
reported, the correspondent adds,
that the possibility Of negotiations
with neutrals for modifying the
terms Of the recent German mem
orandum will be discussed.
Austria Seeking Compromise
Another confirmation comes in the
news from Amsterdam that the vi
emma correspondent Of the "Az Est"
reports that Count Czernin, the Aus
tro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, is
holding discussions with Ambassa-
dor Penfeld on the question of how
Americans may be able to travel in
the Mediterranean without risk. The
correspondent says the German gov
ernment has declared its readiness
TO show "a certain complaisance" on
this question, on the condition that
the principles of the intensified sub
marine warfare shall not be affected.
Apart from the tremendous re-
suits foreseen by Germany II the
President declares war, it is un-
doubted that the firm tone of Spain
and Brazil has dismayed Germany
10 such an extent that it is becoming
a question whether the extreme war
party will be able to carry on
against the informed opinion Of the
entire nation.
Expect Wilson TO Stand Firm
II is generally believed here that
Germany will ask the United States TO
hold another conference 20 discuss the
situation. but without offering to modi-
fy her campaign in the meanwhile.
Nobody here believes. however. that
America will be influenced either by
Germans threats or cajolery. There
is a thorough realization that Ameri-
cas- previous patience, coupled with
the present sttitudN has a definite
meaning
