War Crecps Closer.

d EPORTS of allied commerce protectors
cruising about near the American coast
supply further reason for the apprehension,
voiced by the President and echoed by Sec
Rotary Lansing, that is growing ever
nearer to this country. Early in tho war
Great Britain maintained a patrol near our
coast. On representations from this govern
ament that the proximity of war vessels was
annoying" and likely to lead to complica-
tions. the British Admiralty followed the
friendly course and withdrew its war yes
sells.
Then the exploits OF tho U-53 near the
three-mile limit put new phase on the mat
ter and this country poperly offered no OBJ
lection to the presence Of allied cruisers COM
paratively near this coast. Rumored heavy
arming Of liners and apparently authentic
reports of Germanys intention to regard
vessels SO armed auxiliary warshps added
more complications Now the appearance of
what is described as formidable feet of al
lied warships almost within American waters
brings the menace of closer than before
