Stripes for ships that sail the open sea;
strange, fantastic flag af1oat o'erhead;
Their narrow path prescribed; their ports to be
Assigned them and their cargoes warranted
So, humbly, hat in hand, with bated breath,
And thankful for the gracious favors shown,
May we go forth through waters sown with death,
Which depotism marks out for it's own
Shall we abide by this presumptuous rule,
And don this grotesque livery of disgrace,
This feon's garb, this motley of the fool
And, unressting, yield our lawful place?
Shall we to all the scornful world proclaim
Abject submission, servile, slavish dread?
And shall Old Glory take place of shame
Beneath Haunting kitchen tablespread? r
Not while there lives the spirit that has fired
Brave hearts to noble deeds in days of old!
Not till our love of freedom has expired,
And sympathy and conscience have grown cold
Not till we hold as things of little worth
The sacrifices that have made us free
Can we yield up to any power on earth
The right to drive our people from the sea.

London, Feb. 14.-An Amsterdam
dispatch to Reuters says that an OBJ
viously inspired article has been pub
lished in a majority of the German
papers dealing with the convoy Of
neutral ships through the barred
zones. The article says that, con-
voyed or not, merchantmen in the
restricted regin will be exposed to
all the possibilities of intensified
submarine warfare. It adds that
submarines would not attack neutral
war vessels acting as conveys but
that such vessels would enter the
prohibited zones at their own risk in
view of the danger from mines.
Washington, Feb. 14.-President
Wilson is expected now to defer
decision on the question of furnish
ing guns to American merchant
ships until he decides whether to so
before congress for additional au-
thority for the protection of Ameri-
can ships and lives.
It was indicated by authoritative
sources today that there has been no
change in the policy of the govern
ment and that none is in immediate
prospect.
The accumulation of incidents in
volving violation of American rights
since the break with Germany is gen
orally believed by administration Off

the hour when the president again
will go before congress.
The re-detention of the 72 Ameri-
cans brought in on the prize ship
Yarrowdale is regarded as another
acute indication Of Germany's disre-
gard of American rights. If in fact,
a vigorous protest has not already
,gone forward, it was to be sent soon,
unless Germany promptly releases
the men.
A definite sentiment gained ground
in administration quarters today that
an accumulation of acts indicating
disregard for American rights will
have as much to do with changing
the policy of the United States as
any overt act which may be commit
ted against American ships.
While it has been indicated at the
state department that there can be
no legal objection to the government
furnishing guns to American mer-
chant ships, President Wilson is un-
derstood to be disinclined to take
any steps which might give Germany
the slightest grounds for throwing
responsibility for any future trouble
upon the United States. This was
the governments attitude today.
Reports of the piling up of freight
destined to Europe, the temporary
shutting down of grain elevators and
other evidences Of the effect of the
new submarine campaign upon neu-
trail commerce are regarded as part
of the accumulation of aggravations
which are expected to lead to action.
So far the government has receiv-
ed nothing official to indicate any
change the submarine policy by
Germany and can only believe that |
American lives or ships may be sac
riiced at any moment.
Vigorous denials were made today |
70 reports Of split in the. cabinet
,-5er the question of furnishing guns
for American ships. Naturally, it
was said, there may be differences Of
judgment but it was declared that !!
the members of the cabinet will stand
solidly behind the president in any
decision he may make.
