Whereas the President declared in this

can take an active hand.
The Tagliche RundsChau says:
president Wilson has determined I'M
der all circumstances to preserve Eng
lands strong sea power, perhaps chiefly
because he wants to win England as an
ally against Japan, which has begun to
set in motion 400, 600. 900 Chinese"
Die Post thinks that Americas active
participation in the war can hardly
change the situation and that the join
ing of that country in the hostiEics can
hardly bring greater help to the Allies
than has already been given by NUM-
tionS and loans.
The Norwaerts says tfat both side
should drop the talk about morality and
adds: THE Americans have il easy in
talking about the sacred laws OF hu-
manity which the Germans are trcadinS
under foot. They are not threatened in
their existence. They know nothing or

vested more than $40,000,0O0 in Tur-
key in educational, medical, industrial

upon the ground in charge of institu-

"If Germany is able to persuade Tur-

probably be taken possession of by the
Turks and the Americans in charge
will be expelled or interned."

to Protect New England
? rts and Industries

Boston. Feb. 5.-Every vulnerable
point on the New England coast was
under special OF reinforced guard to-
day. Cc-operating with the federal au
tho}ities. the several states have made
effective a plan of precautionary prep
aration worked out in a general way
when the relations between the United
States and Germany became strained.
1t has been the policy Of official New
England to develop this plan without
ostentation and quietly both to avoid
public excitement and the possibility
of giving offersc to those of foreign
nationality or descent. AT the same
time it is known that no reasona BILE
precaution has been omitted.
Protection Inland
In addition to the preparation at the
ports, strategic spots inland, including
railway bridges. have been protected
as have the munition factories and 9TH
or large manufactures engaged in va
rious work Many big manufacturing
establishments and shipbuilding plants,
the latter including the Fore River
ShipbuildinG Corporation of Quincy,
have volunteered their facilities to the
federal government Hundreds of New
England's sailors and fishing folks
with their vessels have rendered their
services for coast patrol duty or in
any other way that their intimate
knowledge of North Atlantic waters
may be utilized. Innumerable owners

Fast Motor Boats
for Patrol Service
Off Atlantic Coast

Boston, Feb. 5-A. LorinS SWasey of
this city, constructor for the First Voi-
unteer Patrol Squadron, attached to the
Second Naval District at Newport, was
summoned to Washington today for a
conference at the navy department. The
service of the squadron, which consists
of eight speedy motor boats designed and
built under government specifications for
private owners, was offered to the navy
department last week and it is believed
that Mr. Swasey will be questioned con-
corning the availability Of the boats and
their crews for coast patrol duties. Mr..
Swasey said that all but one of the boats
which had been engaged in extensive ma
neuvers off the coast last September.
could be put into commission at once
with one and three-pounders or machine
guns mounted.

Italian Paper Says
No Break Will Result
from Diplomatic Move

Rome, Feb. 4.-(Via Paris, Feb. 5.-The
Osservatore Romano does not believe
that the rupture of diplomatic relations
between the United States and Germany
is likely to lead to actual war, partly be-
cause of the policy followed by America
in the past and partly because of the
difficulty of armed conflict between the
two countries on account of their phys
icaI situation. Probably the neutral ma
tons, says the paper, after protesting
will suspend the departure of their
steamers to avoid further complications,
hoping thus to hasten the end of the
conflict. Consequently the German
threat would remain without effect.
