Washington.-The State Department
Monday made public a memorandum
presented by DR.. Paul Ritter, the
Swiss minister acting for Germany,
proposing a discussion with the Unit
ed States over the new submarine
campaign. Germany proposes to nego-
tiate for the safety of American ship
ping, provided the Commercial block
ade" of England is not interfered
with. The American government has
replied that it cannot enter negotia-
lions unless Germany restores the Sus-
sex pledges and withdraws proclama-
ton of unrestricted submarine war
fare.
Washington. - Administration Off
Gals began Monday to share the inn
patience of shipping men over forced
detention of American vessels in home
ports because of Germany's U-boat
war. This feeling appeared likely to
hasten the solution of the question of
armament for merchantmen. The solu-
tion will probably be direct or indirect
issuance by the Navy Department OF
guns to merchant ships desiring them.
London.-The American Commission
for relief in Belgium has been official
ly notified by the German authorities
that the Americans will withdraw
from participation in the relief work
in Belgium and northern France. This
from the German authorities that
Americans must withdraw from the
provinces of Belgium and northern
France, leaving only a few of their
representatives, headed by Brand
Whitlock, American minister to Bel
GUM, in Brussels.
Berlin.-Foreign Secretary thinner
mann Monday informed the Associ-
ated Press that he had requested the
Swiss government to make inquiry in
Washington regarding the status Of
the crews of ipterned German ships in
American ports.
Pending an answer the seventy-two
Americans taken by the German raid
err and brought in by the Yarrowdale,
whose release had been agreed to, are
being held in Germany, the foreign
secretary stated.
During the last week recurring ru-
have reached Berlin by way Of
London, in which it was announced
that the United States government
had sequestered the German ships and
interned their crews.
'In regard to the Yarrowdale pris-
.ners," the foreign secretary stated,
these men had been taken off armed
merchantmen and their status had
been established. They will be liber-
just as soon as we learn the fate
of the German crews in American
The release of the Yarrowdale pris-
oners was agreed to with Ambassador
Gerard on the eve of the break in re-
lations, but the possibility of the Ger
crews being interned in the Unit
ed States prompted the admiralty to
the orders liberating the
Americans held with the rest of the
prisoners.
1t is pointed out here that this cpl
sode is a further illustration of the
menace growing out of the lack of IA
Of free intercommunication
by both countries.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-An inquiry concern
ing the re detention by Germany
OF the seventy-two American Seamen
brought in by the prize ship Yarrow-
dale was dispatched TO Berlin Tues
day by the United States, preliminary
to more vigorous action if the men are
not promptly released.
The plight Of these sailors occupied
much of the time at the Cabinet meet
ing given over to the crisis growing
out of Germany's submarine warfare.
1t was agreed hat their liberty again
should be demanded, in most emphat-
ic fashion. Pending complete reports
as to the treatment of German crews
on warbound ships in the Philippines,
Hawaii and elsewhere, however, the
government will content itself with
the inquiry as to why the Americans
are held and under what condition.
Secretary Of State Lansing is pre-
pairing an ultimatum to be dispatched
to Berlin unless these prisoners are
speedily released.
Berlin.-It is absolutely denied here
that Germany, in a note to the United
States or through other mediums, is
inviting suggestions for the avoid
ance Of actual war. 1t is reiterated
that the imperial government is not
permitting doubts In any quarter re-
garding the position actively assumed
in the submarine warfare and that
there can be no talk or thought of re-
ceSsion from the program already be
ing carried out. In view Of this, it is
declared in authoritative circles that
any further parley or exchange OF
notes with the United States may be
dismissed as unwarranted and i'm
probable. The origin Of the report is
ascribed to the recent announcement
through the Swiss government that
Germany was willing to negotiate re-
specting the amended treaty Of 1893.
Washington.-In a farewell state
ment before leaving Tuesday night
for New York to sail for home, Count
Won Bernstorff expressed the hope
that war between the United States
and Germany might be averted, and
friendly relations soon might be re-
established. The former German m
bassador said to a group of newspa-
per correspondents, gathered at his
house:
in leaving the United States after
a stay of eight years, | wish to ex-
tend to my many personal friends my
heartfelt thanks for the great kind
ness and cordial hospitality they have
shown me. Countess Won Bernstorff
joins me in this expression of our
deepest personal gratitude. l hope
that war may be averted and that old
friendly relations between the United
States and Germany may soon be re-
stored"
The former ambassador with his
wife and his suite left Washington in
a special train placed at their dis
posal by the State Department and
guarded by United States secret ser
vice men.
