PREPARING TO Arm
AMERICAN VESSELS
SHIP OWNERS HAVE BEEN MOTT
FLED OF PRESIDENT Will.
SONS DECISION.

Washngton.-The American gov
ernment began preparations to arm
American merchantmen against Ger
many's ruthless submarine warfare.
Shipowners have been notified Of
President Wilson's decision that he
has full legal authority to proceed
with the policy.
When vessels said under the policy
of armed neutrality they will do so
with the support of the administration
expressed in the form of war risk
insurance and naval guns and gun
ners. In the background will be the
entire resources of the United States
ready for action should Germany at
tack an American armed ship in vio-
lation of the warning of the American
government.
The State Departments view of de-
fensive armament is that the mere
appearance of a German submarine or
its periscOpe near an American armed
vessel will entitle the vessel to take
all measures Of protection on the pre-
sumption that the submarines pur-
pose is hostile. This is based on Ger
many's announcement that her subma-
rines will attack without warning any
belligerent or neutral merchantmen
encountered within the barred zone
Whether this position will be EN-
bodied in instructions to commanders
of American armed ships and wheth-
er arms and ammunition will be fur
nished to vessels carrying contraband
wero discussed, but no announcement
was authorized.
President Wilson's attitude has been
that no steps of a belligerent charac-
ter should be taken and that if a state
of war comes it must be through Ger
many's acting in clear violation OF
international law Some officials close
to the president believe that in line
with this policy the United States
should not sanction a "shoOt-on-sight'
were discussed, but no announcement
aggression.
Since the policy of the government
in the past has been not to insure YES
sells carrying arms and ammunition to
the belligirents, it has been consid
cred probable that this attitude wal
be maintained. The lists of contra
band articles recognized by the Unit
ed States differ widely from those
drawn up by the belligerents since
the outbreak of the war and therefore
it is believed that only actual NUM-
tions of war will be placed on the re-
stricted list for the purpose of de-
termining what ships are to be III
sured,

ONE IN PARTY IS HELD
Yankees Convinced That the Raider
Which Sank Their Vessel Was
Ritz of Brennan" Which They
Describe as a New Boat.

Zurich.-Laden with cigars, cigar
cites and food showered upon them
by the hospitable Swiss, SO Of the now
historic Yarrowdale prisoners arrived
in Zurich. They arrived at the Ger
man frontier at Lindau, after a con-
tinuous trip of 80 hours from the pris-
on camp at Brandenburg.
The sailors, although emaciated
from their Imprisonment and serious
! lack of food since their arrival in Ger
many on December 81, are in fair con-
dition and confident that with a nor
nal amount of food they will soon De
themselves again,
The party was met here by United
States ConsulGeneral Keene, who
greeted them briefly and asked them
not to forget that they were Amerl-
cans and not to bring discredit o.
America by yielding to an understand
/ able temptation to kick over the
| traces"
The sailors said that they were
convinced that the raider which sank
! their vessel was the Ritz Of Bremen.
They describe her as a brand new YES
sci of about 1900 tons, capable of Is
knots, equipped with one funnel, two
masts, one false funnel, four torpedo
tubes. seven rapid firing guns and a
wheelhouse which was hidden by side
of the ship.
The tunnels had a devise by which
the stripes could be charged at will
and the ships doors were so CON
structed as to cut off all light WHEN
they were open.
During their stay in Germany, they
reported, they had subsisted on one
allowance of soup daily and had made
their long journey to the border on
one such meal" There was hardly
one Of them who, they declared, had
not felt the fist Of German camp
guard, and the squad Of five soldiers

The men tell Of the terrible suffer
ings they underwent during a period
of severe cold weather in Germany,
due partly to lack Of fuel, but more to
the absence Of the shoes and cloth
ing which they had lost. Since their
entrance into Switzerland at Ro'
schach, they say, they have been roy
ally treated.
The party includes all the Amerl-
cans detained, except one seaman
named Buleat, Of French-Canadian
family, claiming to have been born IN
Massachusetts, who was held in Brand
enburg. They were accompanied by
one Brazilian and one Spaniard.
