The department ahnounceu tHe au- vices in this statement:
 "The department is advised By tele- gram from Rio de Janeiro that it is stated there that the captured steam er St. Theodore has been armed with two guns and German crew put on board and that the vessel is now operating as an auxiliary cruiser in the Atlantic
 Early in the day cablegram from Consul Stewart at Pernambuco an nounced the landing there of the St Theodore's crew. including nine Amer jeans, by the Japanese steamer Hud- son Maru. The consul said the other ships captured were believed to have 10 Americans aboard.
 The report of the arming of the St. Theodore. a British vessel. was given out with the explanation that the de- partment had no means of determin- ing it's accuracy. officials were in clined to credit the story, though, and to look for word that the other cap tured ships would be similarly used.

 Mooted questions of international laws are involved. however. in the con version of merchantmen into com merce destroyer on the high seas. The United States as we'll as Great Brit ain has refused to recognize the legal lity of such conversions. If American ships are sunk by such converted ves- sells or American cargo on other ships is lost it is expected that this country would press claims against Germany for damages.

 BE PART OF INDEMNITY
> 1 of Great European Republic Holds That Answer of Entente Was Sufficiently Clear
 on This Point

Paris, January 19.-President Poin- care has received Edward Marshal, an American newspaper writer, at the palace of the Elysee and talked with him in regard to President Wilson's note and the reply of the entente all lies. The crux of the interview ap- pears in these words of the President:
 ''We are condemned to continue the war until we-our gallant allies and ourselves-can obtain the reparations and guarantees rendered indispensable by the aggressions of which we have been the victim. by the sacrifices to which we have subjected ourselves and by the losses which we have suf- fered.''
 May I tell America that France is cur friend. even though we are not fighting with her?" the American vis- ftor asked.
 FRIEND TO AMERICA
 ''The United States of America and France are closely united by inefface- able common recollections. by the same political traditions, by the same attachment to free institutions" said President Poincare. This war, which Germany unloosed upon Europe and which France did everything to avoid, could not alter the good relations be- tween the United States and France. It has even made them closer and them
 The United States" President Poin- care continued, thoughtfully, "have re- mained neutral, but the sympathies of indissIduals in every section have man ifested themseivcS in favor. of France and her allies. We have been deesoIr moved by innumerable demonstrations of friendship,
 There never has been a day since soon after the beginning of the war on which I have not personally re- ceived from America 8 voluminous mail containing generous offers for our invaded -ropulations, for our war widows and enss war orphans.

 WHY THEY FIGHT

 "The violation of Belgium brings out the symbolical significance of this whole war. Germany was not suffered with delivering war upon us without provocation. She trampled under her feet in passing 8 little, innocent peo- pie. There is enough evidence by which to judge the responsibilities of our enemies it Is enough to define the nature of the struggle in which we are engaged The United States have made no mistake about this

at sea. An attempt was made at the second Hague conference to reach an agreement on the subject, but the small navy nations refused to accept the Anglo-American contention
 The attitude of the South American nations is being watched with par ticular interest here. as 1t is recog- nized that the raiders exploits has stirred public opinion there to as great degree as the exploits of the U-5s stirred public opinion here. A practi- cal blockade of many ports, a jump in insurance rates and cripplng of a highly prosperous trade is expected.
