Attempts to Shield Traitors to Be

Resident Foreigners.

Washington. April is. - All persons

sued by President Wilson that trea-
sonable acts or attempts to shield
those committing such acts will be

F%ar-reaching importance attaches to
the direction of the warnings to ali
and the declaration that resident
aliens as we'll as citizens owe allie
glance to the United States, and
therefore r equally subject to the
laws against treason and like crimes.

Not only are conspirators them.

SEES u.s.. AS DECIDING FACTOR
GERMAN OFFICIAL SAYS ENTRY
NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.
Predicts Great Naval Battle and Says
U-8oats Will Be Sent After
Transports From U. S.

Amsterdam, April 15.-Captain Per-
sius, writing in the Berlin Tageblatt,
criticizes those who treat Americas
entry into the war. lightly.
1t would be a fatal mistake" he
said, ito regard Americas economic
strength as the only important factor
for an enemy. The military strength.
of the United States is not to be met
with a shrug of the shoulders. other
wise we shall make the same mistake
as We did about the military strength
of Britain"
Big Naval Fight Predicted.
The military critic of the Basel
Nachrichten believes that the en-
trance into the war of the powerful
American fleet will sooner or later
lead to a revival of an aggressive sea
policy against Germany and will prob.
ably eliminate in a gigantic battle
which will put the Dardanelles fight
in the shadow"
The writer says that the Allied
fleets will find behind the German
coast defenses an opponent who
knows what disastrous results the sue
cess of such an Anglo-American un-
%dertaking would have for his father
land"
This observer further believes that
if America attempts to transport
troops to Europe, Germany will aban-
don her submarine campaign in the
Mediterranean and mass all available
u-boats against the American trans.
