fication of the reteution in Germany
of the 70 American sailors brought in
as prisoners on the prize ship Var
rowdale was given to the state de

ter, Swiss minister here, acting for

with an inquiry as to the status of
the crews of the German war-bound
ships in American harbors.
Germany, DIR. Ritter said, had de-

ance that German sailors in Amer

psisoned.

A query was at once cabled to the

where German ships are war-bound
where all the conditions are not
known. There is not the least
thought that any variation will be
found there in the uniformly cour-
teous treatment accorded German
vessels, but officials want a detailed
account of the status of the two war
vessels and the eight merchantmen
there in order to present final re-
port showing the conditions in all
American harbors. Such report al
ready has been received from the
Philippines and was included in the
