PIRACY CLEAR J
PREMIER SAYS
Germany Revealed to Neutrals
as Goth in All His Naked
Savagery''

Carnarvon, Wales. Feb. 5. - Four
thousand of Premier Lloyd Georges
constituents flocked to Carnarvon Sat-
urday to hear his accounting of his
stewardship.
In regard to Germany's new sea
policy the Premier said:
ut is. after all, only a development
and advance along the road to COM
plete barbarism which is crushing out
of that country the last shreds of civ
ilization."
The Premier said Germany must
stand revealed, even to the most indul-
gent neutral, as "a Goth in all his
naked glory" and added Germany
intends to sink ships without warming.
No respect will be paid henceforth to
any flag except the black flag.
Gcrmany's msoIcnce to America
Germany had the graciousness to
announce as a favor to the great re-
public of the vets" said Mr.. Lloyd
George, that she would allow an Am
erican passenger ship to ply to ono
port provided it bore the mark of o.
Dutch paddle steamer. Was there
ever such insolence? 1t amounts to
insanity"

U-BoGts and Chasers

in Case War Comes

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 5.-Fur-
were planned to-day by Secretary
Daniels at conferences with Chairman
Padgett. OF the House naval commit
tee, chiefs of all bureaus and assist
ants.
In a general way plans include new
legislation to empower the President
10 take over shipbuilding and munition
plants and other private concerns
which might be of value to the army
and navy.
Formal suspension of the eight-hour
law applying to navy yards may be
included in the program. as the linn
tied amount of shipbuilding labor
available necessitates 1t.
Indications are that the Navy De-
partment would decide, in the event
of war. to put the building energies OF
the country to quick construction of
submarines and submarine chasers.
Under this theory it is held that i'm
case of war with Germany only spo-
radic light cruiser attacks and sub
marine operations would be expected.

relations with Germany.

The conference, it was stated, had to
do entirely with precautionary steps,
although the Secretaries also prob
ably gave some general information
as to the Nations preparedness for
war.
1t was made clear that the ad-
ministration had no desire to take
warlike measures unless forced to do
so by some act of Germany. No state
ment was Forthcoming as to whether
a military policy had been decided
upon to be applied in that event.
The following specific orders went
OUT during the day:

chant craft under the American flas
