Crew Left Sinking Steamer and
Were Fired Upon In
Their Boats
LONDON ISSUES STATEMENT
BALTIMORE BOY WAS KILLED
Richard Wallace, of Baltimore Was
Among Those Killed; British Steam
er Eavestone Left Newport News
December 25th.

LOndOn-The British steamer Fave
stone, 1871 tons, has been sunk and
the captain and four members of the
crew killed, says an announcement by
Lloyds. It is officially announced that
Richard Wallace, an American sea-
man, belonging at Baltimore, was
killed in the Smelling of the boats
which left the sinking steamer.
The official statement says that the
survivors of the Eavestone, who were
landed report that their ship was sunk
by, shell fire from a German, submarine,
that the crew abandoned the sinking
vessel and the submarine then shelled
the boats in which they took refuge,
killing the captain and three seamen
and severely wounding the second
mate.
The official statement says:
"Survivors of the steamship Eaves-
tone, who landed today, report that
their ship was sunk by shellfire from
a German submarine. The crew aban-
doned the sinking ship and were
shelled in their boats by the subma-
rine.
"The master and three seamen were
thus killed and the second mate was
severely wounded. Among the killed
was Richard Wallace of Baltimore"
The steamer Eavestone sailed from
Newport News December 25th for Liv
erpool Her subsequent movements
have not been recorded in available
shipping registers.
Torpedoed Without Warning
London-The British steamer Hurst
wood, 1929 tons, was torpedoed with
out warning at noon February 5. Three
men were killed by the explosion and

died as the crew was landed

BERLIN ACCEPTS BREAK WITH
UNITED STATES CALMLY.
Press Comment is Moderate and Ex-
presses No Surprise.

Press Comment is Moderate and Ex-
presses No Surprise.
Berlin, via London.-The morning
newspapers treat the breach in diplo-
matte relations between the United
great gravity, but all the editorials
are pitched in a calm and moderate
tone The avoidance of insulting Ian
guage and cutting epithets is espe-
cially noticeable Most of the news
papers say the news created no sur
prise, some of them explaining that
this step was expected in view of
President Wilson's message of last
April and others that it was antici-
pated in view of the Presidents "con-
tinual siding with the Entente since
the war began"
All the newspapers strongly reject
the imputation that Germany has
broken her promise made in her note
of May 4, laying stress upon the fact
that Germany's promise was expressly
conditioned on President Wilson's sue
cess in bringing England to an OBJ
servance of the laws of Nations.
A number of the papers adopt the
regretful tone over the wreck of the
old friendship between the two coun-
treis. which they say Germany risked
only because her life interests were at
stake. 1t is generally assumed by the
newspapers that the United States will
make an early declaration Of war
against Germany, for they say the
submarine campaign can hardly be
prosecuted without the loss of some
American lives.
While the entrance of the United
States into the ranks of Germany's
enemies would be highly regretable,
the newspapers say the country must
meet this danger as the Lessor of two
evils The danger of the United
States as a war factor is treated as
comparatively unimportant, owing to
the remoteness of the area of war and
the time that would be required to
create an army. The opinion is evinc-
ed in some qaurters that the submar-
ines will decide the war before the
United States can take an active hand.

States feels it necessary to state that
it takes it for granted that the I'M
perial German Government does not
intend to imply that the maintenance
of its newly announced policy is in
any way contingent upon the course
or result of diplomatic negotiations
between the Government of the Unit
ed States and any other belligerent
Government, Notwithstanding the fact
that certain passages in the Imperial
Governments note of the 4th instant
might appear to be susceptible of
that construction. In order, however
to avoid any misunderstanding, the
Government of the United States no.
tifes the Imperial Government that
it cannot for moment entertain,
much less discuss, a suggestion that
respect by German naval authorities
for the rights of citizens of the Unit
ed States upon the high seas should
in any way or in the slightest degree
be made contingent upon the conduct
of any other Government affecting
the rights of neutrals and non-com-
batants. Responsibility in such mat
ters is single not joint; absolutely, not
relative.'
"To this note of the 9Th of May,
the Imperial German Government
made no reply.
"On the 31st of January, the We'd
nesday of the present week the Ger
man Ambassador handed to the Sec
rotary of State, along with a formal
note, memorandum which contained
the following statement:
Withdrawal of Pledge.
1.-The Imperial Government, there
fore does not doubt that the Gov
eminent of the United States will un-
derstand the situation thus forced
upon Germany by the Entente AL
lies brutal methods of war and by
their determination to destroy the
Central Powers, and that the Gov
eminent of the United States will
further realize that the now openly
disclosed intention of the Entente AL
lies gives back to Germany the free
dom of action which she reserved in
her note addressed to the Govern
ment Of the United States on May A.
1916.
Under these circumstances, Ger
many will meet the illegal measures
of her enemies by forcibly preventing
after February 1, 1917, in zone
around Great Britain, France, Italy
and in the Eastern Mediterranean all
navigation, that OF neutrals included,
from and to England and from and
to France, ETC., etc. All ships met
within the zone will be sunk
II think that you will agree with
me that, in view of this declaration
which suddenly and without prior in
timation of any kind, deliberately
withdraws the solemn assurance CIV
en- in the Imperial Governments note
of the 4th of May, 1916, this Govern
ment has no alternative consistent
with the dignity and honor Of the
United States but to take the course
