BRAZIL'S PROTEST TO
GERMANY DISPATCHED
Country Points Out Law
Violation in U-BOat
Blockade.

Rio, JaneirO, Feb. 1.-THE Brazilian
reply to the German declaration of UNI
restricted warfare has been dispatched
to the Brazilian minister at Berlin, ac-
cordlng to an official announcement
According to authoritative infor-
nation the Brazilian note protests
against the, violation of International
law involved in the submarine block
ade and points out that such a block
AIDE could, if effective, close the entire
high seas, a situation which could not
be permitted. The note protests, by
anticipation, against any hostile act
from which a Brazilian merchant ship
should suffer by virtue of the block
AIDE and holds Germany responsible
for such acts.
DR.. Lauro Muller, foreign minister,
will confer again today with the rep
resentatives of the other South AM
er1can countries. 1t is understood
that Chile and Argentina will refuse
to endorse the terms of the Brazilian
note. Argentina is said to hold that
the breach of relations between the
delayed too long. Each South Ameri-
can republic will make an independ-
ent reply to Germany but the pour
parlers between the Latin American
states will continue. The Brazilian
minister at Berlin has been instructed
to make immediate delivery of the
note to the German foreign office and
the German minister here has al
ready been informed of BraziPs posi-
ton.

ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN
At PHILA. NAVY Yard
Warships Off For Service
''Somewhere Along the
Coast"

Philadelphia, Feb. 7.-While every
place of military Importance was
guarded today and naval and army
officers were preparing calmly but rap
idly for any eventuality, womens or
CARNATIONS were working ut high
speed so that hospital facilities may
be at top notch efficiency
United States destroyers steamed
out of the navy yard yesterday for pa
troll duty somewhere along the
coast while these swift vessels were
speeding to their destination, prepar-
ations were under way to protect the
navy yard from aerial attack. ~ space
was prepared in the center of the drill
field for an anti-aircraft gun that can
search the air in event of necessity.
Every ships crew is being put
through two drills daily, including
landing practice, handling of artillery
pieces and loading and aiming of
small arms. Twenty-Five machine guls
have been mounted about the navy
yard, their crews having orders to
''shoOt to kill' in case of necessity.
About the time that the destroyers
were leaving the navy yard for a des-
tination not revealed, two Russian
munition ships, the Albatross and Vol
ogada, loaded with high explosives,
were leaving Carney's Point N. J. or
the first leg of a long and porilous
ocean voyage. They are bound for
Kola Bay, Russia.
1t was reported yesterday that the
machinery grease on the interned
German auxiliary cruisers Kronprinz
Wilhelm and Prinz Eitel Frederick
was found mixed with sand All grease
cans aboard the two vessels were
taken ashore.
A guard barracks is under construc-
ton at the Frankford arsenal. 1t will
command the Delaware river side OF
the government munition plant. The
Pennsylvania railroad bridge spanning
the Delaware river between Bridge
burg and Delair, N. j., was placed un-
der infantry guard last night.
Both the Pennsylvania womens di-
vision for national preparedness and
the emergency aid are increasing their
membership. The latter organization
is turning out thousands of bandages
and both are putting finishing touches
to their nursing and medical services.

WORKS WOULD SURRENDER
SEA RIGHTS TO GERMANY
Blames u. S. For Loss of
Lusitania and Protests
Against America Being
Driven Into War.

Washington, Feb. - Senator
Stones resolution to have the senate
endorse the break with Germany was
after Senator Works. republican, in
a prepared speech, had assailed the
presidents course.
Senator Works said he did not uues-
ton the good faith of the president
and gave him credit for conscientious
motives and patriotic purposes" but
protested against this or any other
movement that lends toward war with
Germany for no greater cause than
has yet been given u.s.
Il insist said the senator after re-
viewing the German negotiations and
the presidents determination to up
hold American rights on the seas,
that neither private citizen nor
the president nor congress can be JUS
titled In driving this nation into war
or endangering Its peace by ay such
false sense Of courage or national
prestige or dignity
Reviewing the Lusitania case at
length and branding it as a ''cruel
and unjust wrong to our people and
to the nation" the senator said, cit
selves, by our course Of action, con-
tributed to this loss of American
lives"
BlameS Own Government.
Our government knew what was
threatened, but we allowed the ship to
sail, carrying American citizens into
the very jaws of death. Germany was
fighting for her life. So were Eng
land and France and the other nations
engaged in the war. What could have
been expected of Germany under such
circumstances? What moral right had
we to tempt her to this fearful act by
this threat against the lives of her
people? This government cannot
shield itself from the fearful respon-
sibility 1t Is bound to accept for this
dreadful tragedy. We have continued
from that time on to aid the enemies
of Germany in the same way. We have
not been neutral as nation. Many
of our people have not attempted to
conceal the fact of their immortality.
If we had been wholly neutral, as we
professed to be, we would never have
been brought to our present relations
with Germany.
"That Germany has violated the
I1SIIS VI Jul pooplo I'LL IIie sea, unuef
international law, no one can deny
But so has Great Britain and so would
| any other belligerent fighting for exist
! ence, if necessary for her success So
! would we do, I apprehend, under the
| circum stances.
1.-The German government has de-
| clared a danger zone about it's enemies
and given notice that any vessels
| found in that zone, with certain ex-
| ceptions, will be sunk. What should
| be our choice under such conditions
, I say to keep out ships and our people
| out of this danger zone until the wal
! is over and the embargo removed"

Inc government is dCllnS OH lllc
policy that Americans have an in
alienable right to traverse the high
sea, that the German submarine block
ade is entirely illegal and that any
sinking of American ships in contra
vention of law would Immediately
lead to hostilities.
A statement of the position of the
government on the sailing Of Amerl-
can vessels is being drawn up at the
state department but will not be made
public here although it may be made
public by ship owners receiving 1T. 1t
is understood to be President Wilson's
desire not to have the government APP
pear to go out of it's way to make an
official public announcement on the
question.
It is also stated that as yet no ship
pers have made a direct request for \
convoy. 1t is understood however,
that the question has been discussed
informally and that it has been
learned that there are not enough AM
erican war vessels available to convoy
the whole American merchant marine
plying through the war zone.
Today's announcement is under
stood to mean that the United States
is going ahead as though the German
blockade order had never been issued
and that no preparations such as con-
voying or arming will be adopted. 1t
rests with Germany to commit the
overt act that President Wilson has
said would lead to war.
st. Louis Expected to Leave Today.
New York, Feb. 7.-American ship
ovpors TODAY showed an increased dis
position to hold their vessels in port
until they receive some definite ad-
vice from Washington. After hearing
the state department had made no
decision on the question of giving pro-
lection to the American liner st.
Louis, officers of the line announced
that the steamer would leave New
York today for Liverpool. The sail
ing prospects of the st. Louis, it was
said, are as indefinite now as when
the Geramn blockade was first de-
clared.
The decision of the Standard Oil
company to keep in port all their
ships engaged in transatlantic service
will affect about seventy-three vessels
Forty Of these belong to the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey, whose
tanker Communipaw was recalled py
wireless after sailing from Norfolk,
Va, for Copenhagen, Jan. ~.
Steamers flying the flags of the En-
tente nations continue to observe ,
their regular schedules. The White
Star liner Cretic set out for Medlter-
ranean ports with twenty-one pas
sengers in her abin and eighty-slx IN
her steerage. The Espagne from Bor-
deaux and Tuscania from Liverpool
are expected to arrive here today and
sail again on Saturday.
The New York of the American line,
which left Liverpool February for
New York, reported back by wireless
that she is now clear of the subma-
rine war zone. Gable advices from
say that the American line is
accepting bookings for the Philadel-
mia and Finland.
