The German government, guided by

with the character of neutrality, and the

Boston, Feb. 8.-The North German

ship was found to be crippled beyond
possibility Of early usefulness, accord
ing to an official who assisted in the
seizure.
Tho liners boilers were said to have
been cleared Of all water, the fires were
burning at top capacity and countless
valves In the engine room had been
mutilated, transferred or removed en-

Gets Warning
to Sink at Sight

To this note Of the eighth Of May,
the Imperial German government
made no reply.
On the thirty-hrst Of January, tho
Wednesday Of tho present week, the
German Ambassador handed to the
Secretery Of State, along with a for
NAL note, a memorandum which con-
tanned the following statement:
The imperial government, there
fore, does not doubt that the govern
ment Of the United States will under
stand the situation thus forced upon
Germany by the Entente Allies brutal
methods Of war and by their determine
tion to destroy the Central Powers, and
that the government Of the United
States will further realize that the now
openly disclosed intention Of the En-
tente Allies gives back TO Germany the
freedom Of action which she reserved
in her note addressed to the govern
ment Of the United States on May 4,
1916.
Under these circumstances Germany
will meet the illegal measures Of her
enemies by forcibly preventing, after
February I, 1917, in q zone around
Great Britain, France, Italy and in the
eastern Mediterranean, all navigation,
that Of neutrals included. from and TO
England and from and TO France, etc,

AMERICANS
U-B0AT VICTIM
Destruction of Housa-
tonic May Be Basis
of War Declaration
from The Tribune Bureaul

Washington, Feb. 3.-The gravest
concern was felt by State Department
officials tonight when they received
news from London Of the sinking by a
submarine of the American steamship
Housatonic. II was realized that this
might be the necessary overt act which
would cause war.
It was said, however, that the Housa-
tonic case would not be considered by
this government until the evidence was
all in. If the ship was sunk without
warning it presents casus belli, other
wise not,
According TO the dispatches from
London, the ship was sunk by German
submarine about noon to-day, when she
was off the Scilly Islands. 1t is re-
ported in London that no warning was
given, but this has not been verified.
All the officers and crew we're saved by
a British armed steamer.
Wilson's Warning
The first effect of the incident in off,
cial quarters was to direct attention
anew to the Presidents declaration in
his address to Congress to-day, that If
American ships and lives were sacri-
feed, "in needless contravention of the
Just and reasonable understandings OF
international law" he would again go
before Congress for authority to use
any means that may be necessary for
the protection Of our seamen and our
people,"
The news, coming almost before
7 President Wilson's words IN Congress
had died away, created tremendous
sensation. Admittedly, if the Housa-
I tonic was sunk without warning, or
I with loss of American life, it will
amount to little less than an act OF
war, and be followed by all the conse-
ouences which the President so clearly
pointed out in his address.
The Housatonic, with $4,000 bush
els of wheat, sailed from Galveston on
/ January and from Newport News or
January f6 for London. There were
/ fifteen Americans in her crew and
/ twenty-four of other nationalities.
Formerly German Ship
The Housatonic formerly was the
| Hamburg-American line steamer Geor-
gia, and American registry was granted
to her in April, 1915. frior to that
time she had been laid up at New Or
/ leans since the beginning Of the war.
/ 1t was then announced that the YES
/ sci had been bought on March 29 for
( $4,000 by the Housstonic Steamship
/ Company, of which Edward F. Geer, OF
. of New York, is president. The Housa-
/ tonic was 3,143 tons gross and was
, built in Glasgow in 1890. She was 236
! feet long, 40 feet wide and 20 feet
deep.
The ship was under charter TO Brown,
| Jenkinson e. Co., of London, it was
asserted last night by Edward F. Geer,
president of the Housatonic Steamship
! Company. On her last trip TO Europe,
which was in August, she carried a
cargo of supplies to Rotterdam for the
| belgian Relief Commission.

Gentlemen of the Congress.
The Imperial German government
on January 81 announced to this gov
ernment and to the governments Oh
the other neutral nations that on and
after February 1, the present month,
it would adopt a policy with regard
to the use of submarines against all
shipping seeking to pass through GER
tain designated areas of the high
seas to which it is clearly my duty
to call your attention.
Let me remind the Congress that
on April last, in view Of the SINK
ing on March "a of the 'cross-Chan-
mel passenger steamer Sussex by a
German submarine without summons
or warning, and the consequent loss
of the lives of several citizens OF the
United States, who were passengers
aboard her, this government ad-
dressed a note to the Imperial Ger
man government, in which 1t made
the following declaration:
II i. is still the purpose Of the I'M
nerial German government to prosecute
relentless and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels of commerce by the use
of submarines without regard TO Wna'
the government Of the United States
must consider the sacred and mas,
nntable rules Of international law and
the universally recognized dictates OF
humanity. the government OF the
Trited States is at last forced to the
conclusion that there is but one course
it can pursue. Unless the Imperial
Government should now Immediately
declare and effect an abandonment OF
lis present methods of submarine war
fare against passenger and freight car
rying vessels, the government Oh She
United States can have no choice but
70 sever diplomatic relations with the
German Empire altogether.
