ing Inquiries

Washington. May 8. Additional color
was to-day given to persistent rumors
Of German submarines in the South
Atlantic, when it was disclosed that
government investigating agencies were
running down a story that freighters
Of the American Transatlantic Com
rany, flying the American flag, have
carried supplies to sea for U-boats.
1t was assumed that the report
prompting the inquiry came from mem
bers Of the crew of the steamer Man
itowoc, quoted in news dispatches from
Porto Rico to-day as charging that she
and other Trans Atlantic Company yes
sells had transshlpped to German sub
mersiblcs at sea food and fuel SNUG
glcd out of New York
Both the Navy Department and the
Department Of Justice have taken a
hand in the investigation, but officials
gave the impression that no definite
conclusions had been reached. They
declined TO comment on the news dis
patch from San Juan or on statements
by the Trans Atlantic Company officials
in New York, characterizing the story
told by the Manitowoc's crew as fiction.

Visit Belgium's Fate Upon Us

James W. Gerard, former Ambassa-
dor to Germany, told members of the
Bar Association last night that Ger
many was not near the end Of her
food supply, that, economically, she
was probably in better condition than
some of the nations allied against her
and that a German revolution was i'm
possible.
He also told of the hatred felt by
Germans in general toward America,
and recited many anecdotes TO show
the conditions prevailing in Germany
and elsewhere.
There could be no prospect of revo
luton. he asserted, because the off,
GERS Of the army were all of the gov
erning caste and because the police
were too highly organized.
He pointed out the fate of Belgium,
and said that the people Of the United
States might expect q similar fate 4
the country were TO be invaded.
Resolutions commencing the Presi-
dent and Congress for declaring war,
and pledging the support of the asso-
citation, were presented by George ".
Wickersham, and were unanimously
passed.

But Little by Train Wreck

Terra Haute, Ind. May 8. The
French mission resumed its journey

night delay at bingham. H., caused by
the mishap near Arcola yesterday, when
three cars of the special government
train left the track. The wreck re-.
suited in no i'll effects to any of the
party and upset the schedule of tho
train only to small extent.
An investigation to-day disclosed a
broken rail near the point where tho
tender Of the engine first jumped tho
tracks. Members Of the French mis-
sion who we're not asleep when the acct
dent occurred retired almost immc-
diately afterward. Marshal JofTre was
the coolest member Of the party, hardly
interrupting his dinner for moment
during the excitement attendant on the
mishap.

ers operating in the South Atlantic
were detained By Navy Department
orders at St. Thomas, in the Virgin ISL
ands. They were the Manitowoc, the
Muskegon and the Allaguash. all be-
longing to the American Transatlantic
Company. II was learned that after
due inspection the vessels were allowed
to proceed.
Richard G. Wagner. president Of the
company, stated yesterday: ut is a
lot OF rot, this talk OF our ships being
detained because they were carrying
supplies to German submarines. I
would like to know who is at the bot
tom of this persecution. The ships
were detained only for a day and a
half, until the cargo manifests could
be sent to the Navy Department. The
vessels all left on April % for Buenos
Ayres.
Ever since the formation Of the COM
pany, on July 81, 1915, t has been in
olHCultles. IL mas Deen stated Ollen
that the maj ority Of the stock is held
by Germans. It's eleven cargo vessels
varied between 5000 and 10000 tons
gross. Most OF them belonged TO Scan
dinayisn countries. and considerable
difficulty was experienced in efFecting
a transfer 70 the American flag, as it
was said that many of the stockholders
were Germans. After considerable liti-
cation this was disproved, and a month
later all the vessels were placed under
American registry.
On the first voyage TO England two
of the vessels-the Genesee and Hook
ing-were seized by the British Ad-
miralty, and after six months, through
the Intervention of Ambassador Page.
were released Since that time three
other vessels belonging to the company
were seized by the British.
