AMERICAN SAILORS
 DRINK COFFEE INTSEAD .!
 OF INTOXICATING LIQUOR

Word has been received in ShaS- way that black coffee is the popular drink with the American fighting sailors stationed in European waters, When desrtoyeF5 are looking for submarines hot, black, coffee is aI- ways ready for those who want 1t, and the men say it not only keeps them awake but serves as a pro- tector against the rigorous sea climate. Most of the men do not miss the Use of alcoholic drinks. Those who desire liquor can get 1t ashore from midday until eight in the evening, but the saloons are found to be doing little business with American sailors, q record which pleases the officers.
 Marine patrols have little to do but walk up and down the streets.

we're sunk during the day. Two per-
sons are said to have been killed In
the sinking of the saxon-Erie and the

for all deaths incurred in

FIVE SHOTS FAIL
To HIT Us.
WESTWEC0
BOAT

LONDON, Feb. Five shots were
fred by the German submarine U-45
at the American steamship Westwego
On Jan. 81, it was announced official
ly here today. None of the shots took
effect. The announcement follows:
The master of the United States
steamer Westwego reports that on
the 31st of January, when fifty
miles west of Gastnet his ship
was fired at from astern by the
German submarine U-45. Five
shots were fired, none of which,
however, took effect.
The master accordingly stopped
and sent his papers.
The German submarine COM
mander then demanded oil from
the Westwego, his demand being
accompanied by threats to sink
the ship if it be refused.
The claim to take the interests
of neutrals into consideration,
put forward in the German wire
less message of Feb. 5, is not
strengthened by this report from
the master of neutral ship.

willard Hears From Gerard.

WASHINGTON, d, c., Feb. Am
bassador Willard, at Madrid. reported
to the state department today he had
received dispatch from American
Ambassador James w. Gerard, lately
accredited to the Berlin government,
dated Berne, Switzerland The con-
tents of Gerard's dispatch were not
disclosed
At the state department, 1t was said
that although no word had come from
Gerard direct the dispatch from Am
bassador Willard had been interpreted
to mean Gerard had already left Ber-
lin and had reached Berne, the Swiss
capital, on his journey to the United
States. 1t is likewise thought the
members of the embassy suite at Ber-
lin all crossed the border with the
ambassador.
Previous plans reported to the state
department by Ambassador Gerard In
dicated he intended TO remain at Ber-
lin until Sunday, and this coupled
with a possibility that he mas have
sent the Willard dispatch by messen-
ger to Berne, leaves room for inter
esting speculation concerning Ger
ards whereabouts, and there are Off
cials here who believe he is still in
Berlin.
1t has also been learned from Eu-
ropean sources that the German gov
ernment contemplated holding Ambas-
sador Gerard within that country as
hostage until official word had reached
Berlin that arrangements had been
completed for the departure of Count
Won Bernstorff and the German am
bassy suite from Washington. This
action. it is believed. was contemplat-
ed by the Germans more in an en-
deayar to force the Entente Allies to
sraut Won Bernstorff's party safe con-
duct across the Atlantic, than as an
aggressive act directed toward the
United States.
An interesting announcement at the
state department this afternoon con-
cerps the American line steamer st.
Louis, now moored at Liverpool, and
scheduled to sail Saturday for New
York The announcement says the
81. Louis is not to be conveyed by
American warships while inside the
prohibited zone, and that the state de-
Arartment will take no steps whatever
In relation to the ships sailing.

SENATOR WORKS
ATTACKS THE
COURSE Of
j. 8.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. AS
serting that the United States had moi
been neutral as nation and that had
the nation not been friendly to the En-
tente, the breach with Germany would
never have been brought about, Sena-
tor Works, of California, republican,
attacked President Wilson's action in
breaking off diplomatic relations be-
tween Washington and Berlin, in the
senate today.
The Calofirnia senator, referring to
the sinking of the Lusitania as "A
cruel and unjust wrong" declared
dramatically that the government OF
the United States materially contrib
uted to this loss of American lives.
The action of American port authori-
ties in permitting departure of the
Lusitania from New York. after warn
ings had been given that the ship
would be torpedoed, Senator Works
said, was responsible for the loss OF
every life sacrificed in the sinking OF
the liner off Fastnet.
Germany is fighting for its very
life," the senator declared, "and what
could we expect under such circum-
stances?" He then declared the Unit
ed States had no moral right to tempt
Berlin authorities, in view of existing
especially wh1e this
country continued to aid enemies OF
tie Central Powers, by permitting ex-
portations of munitions and other con-
traband of war. Concluding, the Cali
fcrnia senator accused many people
in this country of making no attempt
whatever to conceal the fact OF their
Hostility to Germany.
