GUARANTY TRUST
DROPS GERMANS
Fifteen Clerks Receive In
definite Leave, with
Full Pay

The Guaranty Trust Company has
temporarily eliminated all Germans
from its office force. Fifteen men Of
German birth employed In its foreign
department have received indefinite
leave of absence with pay, pending the
outcome OF the break between the
United States and their native land. All
of the men removed, with one or two
exceptions, had taken out their first
citizenship papers.
On Monday morning, when the 200
employees Of the foreign department as
sembled. Max May. vice-presdent,
called the fifteen Germans into his
Office and informed them that they were
all to have a vacation. II is the un-
Outstanding that the men will take
their vacations now instead OF next
summer.
"For reasons Of neutrality an Off
cial of the company said yesterday,
I've do not believe it good policy. in the
event of trouble between the United
States and Germany, TO have in our Of
fees persons known TO be Of German
birth. We mean no reflection on the
character Of the men themselves"
The men who were sent on their en-
forced vacations. while reluctant TO
criticise the company, on whose payroll
they still remain. said last night they
believed their suspension was due to
pro- British influence. Men conversant
with Wall Street said they bad heard
report that alleged that the German
employees of the trust company were
removed because of the expectation of
a large amount of business from the
British government.
Early in January Charles II. Sabin,
president of the company, went abroad
on a wedding trip with his second
wife. who was Mrs. Pauline Morton
Smith. He is said TO be in London
now, negotiating with the British gov
eminent for contract involving the
purchase of s50,000,000 worth of war
supplies. The men on leave believe
that the president was forced 10 re-
move them to clinch the order.
Another theory which the men sd-
vance is that pro-Ally officials Of the
concern took advantage of Mr. Ssbin's
absence TO remove them. The Guar
anty Trust Company has been one Of
the largest repositories OF German
funds since the war began. IL has
been trying to get an equally large
share Of England's war business.

Seventeen in Philippines,
Others in American
Ports Disabled
GERMANY is CHIEF
SUFFERER BY ACTS
Wilson Has No Intention
to Seize Craft-Hampers
TeutOns in Trade War

Washington, Feb. every one OF
seventeen war-bound German merchant
ships examined by American officials at
Philippine ports since the break with
Germany has been so badly damaged by
her crew that six months or more
would be required to make any Of them
seaworthy.
An official report to-day said that Of
the twenty-three vessels tied UP in the
islands all but six had been inspected,
and none had been found which could
be put into condition without q large
expenditure of time and money.
So widespread and thorough has been
the concerted disabling Of German
ships in American ports that some Off
Gals think it could be explained only
by a blanket order from Berlin. 1t
is suggested that such instructions
might have gone forward carly in the
war, or might even have been issued
as a standing order before the war 10
cover such an eXigency as now has
arisen. There has been no indication,
however, that the American government
has authentic information on the SUBJ
Ject.
As explained to-day. the policy Of the
government is to make no use of these
ships, even if war comes. 1t was said
suthoritatively that there had been no
decision even TO take over the ships IN
the event of war, much less use them.
Under the present intention OF the
government. therefore, the net result
OF damage to the warbound ships will
be the expense and delay for repairs
their owners must face before they can
get into the rush for after the war
trade. Officials here believe the Grip
ping of the big German merchant fleet
in the Pacific will offer Japan the OPP
portunity she will not be slow to take.
