PRECAUTIONS TO SAFEGUARD

be re-established. The former Ger man ambassador said to group of newspaper correspondents gathered at his house:
 Tn leaving the United States after stay of eight years. 1 wish to ex- tend to my many personal friends my heartfelt thanks for the great kindness and cordial hospitality they have shown me.
 My heart is full of gratitude to these whose personal feelings never wavered during the trying years of the war. In the last days I have re- ceived so many cordial farewell mes- sages that it was impossible to send thanks for them individually
 Countess von Bernstorff joins me in this expression of our deepest per- sonal gratitude
 'I hope that war may be averted and that old friendly relations between the United States and Germany may be re- stored"
 The former ambassador, together with his wife and his suite, left Wash ington late tonight in a special train placed at their disposal by the state de- partment and guarded oy United States secret service men. The train will carry the party to within short dis tance or the perth or the Danish steam ship Frederick VIII which is due to sail for Copenhagen by way of Halifax at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 Among other things, MT. Bernstorff denied emphatically that he had talked to various persons on the subject of peace since the break between the United States and Germany.
 T have not talked politics with any one since the break came" he said. Any statement to the contrary is pure fiction. I have never lied to a news paper correspondent since I have been in Washington. Sometimes I have not told you all that I knew, because in the position l occupied that was imposs-

BRITISH PUBLIC WANTS IO KNOW
 WHAT NAVY DIES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire,

lhcpuUliSdH "A. IT, GcdSCO NuCJ
 LONDON, Feb. 13.-The British public has indulged the idea that the meeting of parliament would show light on the problem of how the navy is dealing with Germany's intensified submarine warfare The press and many public men have been constantly urging the government to drop the veil of secrecy, on the ground that the loss es were well known to the Germans and that therefore there would be no harm in allowing the British public to know, while the knowledge would tend to encourage the people to Lar pa tiently the necessary sacrifice
 Gossip, which experience in war has shown in numberless cases to ee thor Ourghly unreliable, has played with the notion that many German submarines are being destroyed or have been brought with their crews to British ports.
 Admiral Lord Beresford raised the question in the house of lords today. lie appealed to the government for more open treatment of the public, thereby Voicing an urgent demand for information. The Earl of Lytton, civil lord of the admiralty, and the Earl of Curzon, lord president of the council, replied to the effect that certain routes for neutral commerce were being kept free and that the situation was less az gravated than might be supposed. They declined, however, to diVulge whether the improved condition was due to a better means for ships escaping the attentions of submarines or to the ac- tual destruction of submarines, though on the latter part Lord Lytton de- scribed Admiral Sir John Jelicoe, first sea lord, as being mot dissatisfied"
 Roth Lord T,VftOn and ord C'u1Zf,r, spoke with great confidence and while withholding actual details which might be useful to the enemy, intimated in a general way that extensive measures had been adopted to deal with the situation.
 Apparently, the means the govern ment IS relying on are a great multi plication of destroyers and the arming of merchantmen. Lord Lytton said that all the ship yards in the world would not suffice to build the destroyers needed, but every available yard was being utilized for that purpose.
 Both speakers represented the ad- miralty as being thoroughly awake and ready to employ every useful device submitted to it for coping with the danger Lord Curzon gave interesting figures showing the loss of mercantile tonnage as only between five and six per cent, as compared with the month preceding the outbreak of the war this probably implying that the loss by submarines and mines has been largely compensated by new construction.
 Lord Curzon, pointing out the ratio of armed vesels as three to one, said the process of arming ships was being greatly accelerated and that the num- Der now armed exceeded by 40 to 50 per cent the number armed at the be- ginning of last December. Strong eff forts also were being made toward new construction of merchantmen, or ders having been given both in Ameri- ca and Japan.

their liberty again should be demand ed in most emphatic fashion. Pend ing complete reports as to the treat ment of German crews on war bound ships in the Philippines, Hawaii and elsewhere, however. the government will content itself with the inquiry as to why the Americans are held and under what conditions
 The cabinet discussed every phase of the international situation The question of providing navy guns for American ship owners desiring to arm their vessels for defense was considered, but it was stated officially afterward that TO decision was reached It is understood that there was a division of opinion with most of the cabinet officers strongly favor ing furnishing the guns both on the grounds sthat permitting American ships to remain idle in port suggests acquiescence in Germany's course and because the congestion of ocean bound freight in the country's ports is as- suming serious proportions. Two or three members are said to have con- tended that the policy would be un- wise. The president will decide the question.

 twill I ever come back to Washing ton?'' he continued in response to an other query. Well, 1 am not thinking about that now. I am thinking about going back to Germany.
 Where am 1 going when I get to Germany? That all depends. l am going first to Berlin. Then maybe l will go to my place near Munich. l don't know just what l shall do. It is all so uncertain. If 1 knew 1 would tell you. The only things I do know now cannot talk about. I have turned everything over to the Swiss minister and he will have to talk about them in the future"
 As the correspondents departed Count von Bernstorff shook hands and said good bye to each as he passed out of the door.
 After dinner at the embassy. last minute packing was completed and Count and Countess yon Bernstorff were driven, near midnight. to the sta tion. where their party already had assembled.

CUBAN REVOLT GROWS WHILE

 Dr. Ferrara and Dr. Raimundo Ca brera, prominent lawyer of Cuba and editor of the Cuba and American Re- view, left Havana week ago, coming to the United States as special repre- sentatives, they admitted tonight, of the directorate of the Cuban liberal party, of which General Jose Miguel Gomez. former president of the repub- lie, is the leader.

been issued at Berlin announcing that yesterday was the last day of grace allowed neutral shipping before the unrestricted submarine warfare went into fuli effect. did not appreciably increase tension here. There has been full realization ever since the sinking of the Anchor liner Califor- mia that the German campaign is be- ing carried on in defiance of the United States and that providence only is to be thanked that an overt act against American life which would precipitate war has not beeli committed
 There were strong indications dur ing the day that severance of rela- tions with Germany would be extend- ed to the other central powers. Aus trias adherence to Germany's posi- ton is regarded as practically cer- tain 60 force a break with that coun- try Ambassador Elkus at Constan- tinople was instructed today to as- certain whether submarines operating under the Turkish flag were under the same instructions as those of Germany and Austria.
 Serious difficulties with Turkey all ready exist ever interference with hr- menian and Syrian relief and the de- tention of more than 1000 American refugees.
 It develops that no message has been received at the state department since the break with Germany from either Ambassador Elkus in Constantinople or from Consul General Murphy in Sofia, who cared for American interests throughout Bulgaria. All cables to and from both points must go through Vienna, but officials have no indca- tion as to whether they are held up there or by the local Bulgarian and Turkish authorities.
 Meanwhile the naval collier Caesar, loaded with food and clothing con- trbuted by Americans for the sufferers in Syria and the cruiser Des Moines, loaded with medical supplies are lying at anchor in Alexandria harbor unable to continue their voyage to Beirul be- cause of the uncertainty as to what greeting they would meet. They are long overdue at Beirut, where they were not only to unload their supplies for the destitute Syrians but also to take on board the neutral Americans.
 Heretofore apepals to Germany have been efficacious in instances where it was desired to bring pressure on Tur- Key, put US employment now would be embarrassing if not out of the ques- ton.
 It was explained after the cabinet meeting that full reports on the treat ment of German sailors on war-bound ships was awaited so as to make cer- tain that no subordinate official had exceeded his authority in dealing with the ships or ther crews. The govern ment's nstructOns have been that lgal technicalities should be waived in order to avoid any appearance of depriving the Germans of any of their rights. This has been done at all ports of the continental United States and where officials in the Philippines and else where have undertaken to guard against the ships becoming menaces to navigation, orders have been issued to confine such efforts strictly to sur veillance with action only when essen- tial
