GERMAN RAIDER
SENT SHIPS CREWS
TO BRAZIL COAST
Commander of the Raider Declared That
Only the German Emperor and the
Crown Prince Knew of the OPP
Grafton of the Vessel.

Rio Janeiro, March 3l-The French
bark Cambronne arrived yesterday with
2S5 members of the crews of vessels sunk
by German raider on March 7. After
the survivors had been put aboard, the
bark was ordered to proceed to the Bra
lillian coast According to the refugees
they learned that the raider left Ger
many on Dec. %, escorted by subma-
rine. The commander, they say, de-
clared that the German emperor and
crown prince alone knew of the expe-
dition.
Among the ships sunk were eight
steamers and two sailing vessels, total
ing about $1,000 tons. Grain, sugar and
ntrates comprised the cargoes of several
of them.
The refugees say the raider was named
the Seeadler, was provisioned for Is
months and had great supply of
ammunition and explosives. On sighting
the merchantmen, the raider hoisted the
Norwegian flag, which was replaced by
German ensign when the prey was with
in reach of her guns.

SKEPTICAL OF ABILITY
TO STARVE ENGLAND
VERY PROMPTLY
A Naval Critic on a Berlin Newspaper
Takes a More or Less Pessimis-
tic View of the Subma-
rine Situation.

Copenhagen. March 81 (via London -
Omen skepticism as to the possibility o
bringing Great Britain to hSr knees by {
submarine campaign and through the di
rect pressure of starvation is expressed
| by Captain Persius, the naval critic OF
| the Berlner Tageblatt. Instead, the
hope and belief of Captain Persius is
that by an average monthly loss OF halt
a million tons of shipping in the next
| few months Great Britain may be
brought to realize that continuation OF
| the war would be Improbable, though
this result, he declares, has not yet been
attained.
The article is noteworthy for citations
of passages in. an address recently deliv-
cred by Prof. Harms, the new rector of
Kiel university giving careful study of
food conditions in England and upon
which Captain Persius bases his argu-
ment. Prof. Harms, who is an authority
in this field, estimated the wheat supply
in England when the new submarine
blockade was declared as enough to last
until March 80 This was based on the
supposition that all imports being inter
rupted by the blockade, the supply in
Great Britain could be stretched by the
use of oats, rice, etc, by rationing and
by grain cargoes which it is known could
pet through the blockade The danger
point, he contended, would come before
July. when the first fruits of the home
harvest would be available.
Should England succeed in wcathering
this critical period by imports and or
Persius point out that the population
could exist for time on the British
crop and that the new danger point
would come only when this was con-
sumed.
The feeding of England's population
until July, it is contended, might be ex-
tremely endangered by the pressure of
German submarines, but catastrophe
could only be expected, in the opinion of
Captain Persius, If neutral shipping to
was barred with practical com
pleteness and the February results in the
destruction of British tonnage was main

MODERN WAR is MECHANICS.
Says Former Ambassador Gerard in Ad-
dress in New York.

New York, March 3l.-The fully
equipped aerial coast patrol station at
Port Washington, n. Y, together with
an air cruiser fitted with two 200 horse
power motors and an airplane gun was
offered to the government last night
through the Aero club of America by
Rodman Wanamaker. Announcement of
the gift was made at a dinner of the
Aero club at which former Ambassador
James w Gerard was one of the speak
ers and which was attended by many
men of prominence.
Mr.. Gerard, in his address, declared
that modern war is largely a matter Of
mechanics and munition. The legend OF
the embattlcd farmer is responsible, he
said, for much unpreparedness.
"We hear even to-day" he said,
prattling about the embatteled farmers
taking their old muskets from over the
chimneypiece and defeating the invaders.
But nowadays the old fintlock means
Zeppelins, airplanes, captive observation
balloons. steel helmets, gas and gas
masks, machine guns, searchights, six
teen-inch guns and eighteen-inch howit
zcrs, trench mortars. range finders, tanks,
miles OF barbed wire. underground min
ing, rockets and grenades and countless
other instruments of war. the proper use
Of which can cniy be learned after years
of hard application. All these modern
means of war require great preparations.
ii We are in for war we are in for a Sc,
rious war.

move was made that could be made for
peace. No one knows better than ] do

PREPARING FOR PART
THE UNITED STATES
WILL PLAY IN WAR
Course Of Action Thought to Be Decided
on BY President Wilson and Cabinet
Is to Recognize Existence of
State of War.

Washington, d. c., March 3l.--Presi.
dent Wilson, having decided fully with
his cabinet upon the course of action to
meet the national emergency, to-day set
about the task of reducing the eonelu.

conclusions are will be disclosed when the
president appears before Congress next
week to deliver his momentous message.
The indications to-day, however, were
that formal recognition of the existence
of state of war between the United
States and Germany would result
Just what part the United States win
play in the war against Germany will
not be developed until after Congress
defines the nations status and completes
urgent defense lenislations.
