AMERICAN KILLED
BY U-BOAT Shell
WAS MEMBER OF CREW OF BRIT
IsH STEAMSHIP SUNK BY GER
MAN SUBMARINE.
WILSON ASKS NEUTRAL AID
Believes 1t Will Make for Peace Of
World If other Countries Break
With Germany.

Washington-The grave concern
with which the American government
has been awaiting developments since
the break with Germany was not per.
ceptibly increased by press dispatches
from London Monday night announc-
ing that Richard Wallace, an Ameri-
can member of the crew of the British
steamer Eavestone, had been killed
by shells from a German submarine.
The official statement says: Sur
vivors of the steamship Eavestone, re-
port that their ship was sunk by shell
fire from a German submarine. The
crew abandoned the sinking ship and
were shelled in their boats by the sub
marine.
THE master and three seamen were
thus killed and the second mate was
severely wounded. Among the killed
was Richard Wallace of Baltimore"
There have been several instances
in the past in which deliberate Smelling
of boats was alleged, but such case
never has been established to the sat
isfaction of the state department 1t
is believed here that the Smelling in
dicates the Eavestone was resisting
or attempting to escape, and that
shells intended for the ship may have
struck the boats. Confidence appar
emily was felt in all quarters that a
full report would show that the yes
sci was attacked in accordance with
the rules of cruiser warfare.
With the war machinery of the gov
eminent running at top speed in prep
aration for any possible development
the state department in communica-
ton to American ship owners urged
the utmost caution. American ships
we're advised against sailing into the
German submarine zone and the risks
of ocean travel were pointed out.
Assures Ships Protection on Seas.
The state department made clear
that American vessels have full right
to sail that they are not ordered or
requested not to sail and that they
will be fully protected in their rights
on the seas. The question of how this
protection is to be extended is one of
the big problems confronting the
president, the state department and
the war department.
Asks Support of other NeutraIs.
The president has suggested to all
the other neutrals that they break off
diplomatic relations with Germany
as the United States as done, ana
instructed all American diplomats in
those countries to report immediate
ly how the suggestion is received.
The opinion in diplomatic quarters
here is that European neutrals, at
the very door of Germany, threaten

The presidents invitation to
neutrals was contained in instruc-
lions to American diplomats to an
nounce the break with Germany to
the governments to which they are
accredited. 1t was contained in the
following note:
''You will Immediately notify the
government to which you are accred-
tied that the United States, because
Of the German governments recent
announcement OF its intention TO re.
new unrestricted submarine warfare,
has no choice but to follow the
course laid down in its note of April
Is, 1916 (the Sussex note).
1T has therefore recalled the
American ambassador from Berlin
and has delivered passports to the
German ambassador to the United
States.
Say also that the president is re-
luctant to believe Germany actually
will carry out her threat against
neutral commerce. but IL It be done
the president will ask congress to
authorize use of the national power
to protect American citizens engaged
in their peaceful and lawful errands
on the seas.
1.-THE course taken is, In the prest-
dents view. entirely in conformity
with the principles he enuciated in
his address to the senate January II.

powers can find it possible TO take
similar action"

audience in Laughter all through the
entertainment Thursday evening, from
the time he first came upon the stage
and announced that he was not lee
turer, that he had no message and that
he was not a messenger boy, TO the
closing number of his program, entitled
1.-THE Darky Picnic"
Each and every number upon his
program OF song. music and story was
followed by rounds of applause. His
first number was a study in acumu-
lated humor entitled The Boy with
the Wooden Wing" He then gave a
study in musical comedy that never
fails to please. its title being BILL
Johnson and His One Tune" In this
number by clever variations OF the
tune "A Hot Time in the Old Town
Tonight" on the piano the entertainer
showed how "Bili Johnson" would rem
der his one tune on different occasions
from weddings to church services.
A violin solo, "Meditation-Thais' tIas-
senet), was then rendered by Mr. Bing-
ham and the manner in which he rem
dered 1t led many to believe that Bing-
ham had missed his calling in not becom-
ing a musician. Mrs. Bingham accompa-
MED AZ the piano.
The entertainer then gave dialect stud
les, including The Cider Mill" by Riley.
and these numbers he followed with a
dramatic song, Danny Deeyer" KIP
ling, ard a comic song. The Bass FId-
die" (GolGen).
Just before the final number Mr.. Bing-
ham made an appeal for clean humor IN
which ne told the young people that 1t
is perfectly possible to have an evening
Of fun without ooarseness. And the pro
gram. he give at the entertainment was
proof enough Of the truth Of his state
ment.
His final number, The parkies' Pic
ric.'. che CT his original selections, had
his audience snriehing with laughter and
as Il was with his other selections, his
audience d;d rot need 20 hear the story
for they could see II in the expression Of
the entertainer. His listeners could
imagine the 400 dark.es crowding upon

His stories and puns were appreciated
all the more because OF the fact That
