STERN NECESSITY,
 IS GERMANS PLEA
Say England Could Be Starved
 Into Submission in Few Months U. s. IS STUMBLING BLOCK
Public Appears Unanimous in Support of Radical Measures at Same Time Approaching Probability of Break With America.

Berlin, Feb. 1, val London, Feb. D. The attitude of the German people in respect to the new submarine policy, so far as ascertained today from con- versations with persons in various walks of life, in and out of politics, is that the inauguration of an un- restricted submarine campaign is dic- tated by stern necessity and for self preservation and that in such a life and death struggle no regard can longer be paid to- other considerations.
 Even a socialist speaker in the Reichstag. commenting today, is re- ported to have aligned the party be- hind the government on this decision. Whatever was said in committee was confidential but in outside circles one hears estimates of the number of sub- marines running to several hundred and the opinion is expressed that the tonnage sunk monthly can be in creased to approximately much larger amount. Those who base their opinion of the merits of the decision declare that two or three months of operations on this scale would be suf- ficient provided the United States would not be willing to discuss terms
 The great likelihood that the step will precipitate a crisis in German American relations is recognized but the belief is often expressed that the situation is not hopeless.
 In the Reichstag, committee discus sion revolves largely around the ques- tion of the prospective result of a campaign based upon the number and efficiency of submarines.

MANY AMERICANS
 IN ]. DANGER ZONE Philadelphia, Kroonland and Chi- cago Nearing European Harbors SHIPPERS AWAIT WORD
Sailing Schedules Will Not Be Con- piled Until Governments Are Heard Erom-Extra Guards Man Batteries in New York Forts.

New York, Feb. 2.-Owners of Am. erican vessels in transatlantic trade probably will follow the example of the ship owners of the Entente na- tions and abide by the instructions of their governments. They awaited to- day the reply of the state department to a message sent by P. A. s. Franklin, president of the International Mcr- chant Marine, as to future movements of steamships of the American line.
 Unless orders to the contrary are received from Washington the Ameri- can line steamer St. Louis will sail from here Saturday for Liverpool her regular port of destination.
 The ship of the American line whose safe arrival is awaited with the great est anxiety is the Philadelphia, bound from New York to Liverpool. Her port engine is out of commission, due to the breaking of a crankshaft last Saturday. and it is believed she cannot make port until late Monday. The Philadelphia carries 14S passengers, of. whom thirtN-tive are Americans. Among those on board are Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, Misses Helen and Ethel Crocker of san Francisco, John Eager, U. $. A., and Captain Roald uAmundsen, arctic explorer.
 The Kroonland, of this line left Liv- erpool for New York on Wednesday With 191 passengers. It is believed , that half of these are Americans. The French liner Chicago. which carries a number of American passen- gers is believed to be due at Bor- deaux today. Another vessel is the
 Baltic of the White Star line, which steamed from this port Monday for Liverpool. The St. Paul which left Liverpool last Saturday is believed to be outside the danger zone by this time.
