Intimates Reprisals
by British For Decision
to Wage U-Boat War

London, Feb. 1. - The text of the
German note to neutrals announcing
the abandonment of restriction on
naval warfare reached London an
hour after midnight in a summary
cabled from New York of the Berlin
dispatch. 1t was consequently too
late for the first editions of the morn
ing papers or for editorial notice. The
official statement of the German deci-
sion in regard to hospital ships was,
however. given the greatest promi-
nence and the comments thereon indi-
cate that the note to neutrals will not
cause surprise.
The intimation that the government
plans reprisals is generally acclaimed
although the Daily News, while re-
framing from speculation as to the
form reprisals may take, says:
The question is preculiarly diff
cult both practically and ethically II
we are already waging war to the full
extent of our capacity within legiti-
mate limits there Is little margin left
for reprisals unless we are prepared
to follow Germany into the region of
Iawlessness and barbarism where her
predominance over all rivals is unas-
sailable.'

PRESS OF THIS COUNTRY
THINKS BREAK is SURE

The following is the editorial co
mment of some of the leading news
papers of the country upon Germanys
notice of the beginning of submarine
warfare:
New York Sun: The note closes for
the present the chapter of altruistic
endeavors and tentatives of parley into
which President Wilson has written
his idealistic hopes. 1t creates an en-
tirely new situation, of the most
practical sort, so far as the United
States is concerned, and serious in
the extreme in it's possibilities of un-
toward incidents which may put to
the test the steadfastnesS of Wash
ington in its attitude and assertion of
the principles which our State De-
partment has already enunciated.
Washington Post.-The immediate
creation of barred zones" around the
British Isles and elsewhere and the
announcement that ''all sea traffic will
be opposed" within these zones, is
equivalent to an attempt by Germany
TO make her own law of the sea, to be
obeyed by all nations on penalty of
the destruction of their citizens and
their shipping. 1t is not a blockade,
which Germany sets up, but a dead
line, which encloses a part of the high
seas.
The United States. having fatty re-
fused to accept the German version of
international law and having given
notice that the destruction of Amer
lean lives or shipping without warn
ing would force the severance of dip
lomattc relations, it is impossible for
this government to countenance the
new rule, which Germany seems to
impose.
Baltimore Sun. The government

| is now facing the most critical situa-
tion of the whole war. We cannot
temporarize. There must be no more
illegal killing of American citizens on
the high seas. If insistence upon this
means a break with the Central Pow
ers. then the break must come.
Sioux Falls Is. ID Press. - 1t is
! inconceivable that the United States
Government, standing as it consistent
ly has from the beginning of this war
for obedience to law, can give such
tacit approval of lawlessness as would
be implied by obedience to Germany's
suggestion.
st. Louis Globe Democrat. - There
appears to be but two things the Am
erican Government can do-stop all
intercourse with tie belligerent coun-
tries or make good the warning in the
Sussex case by severing diplomatic re-
lations. Either arm of the dilemma
| is burdened with regret. A great
responsibility rests upon President
Wilson.

fist cannot be shaken in the face of
Uncle Sam with impunity because

intends to carry on the war ii cannot

campaign, such as indicated in the
Berlin announcement, will embitter
the Allied nations to such an extent
that peace efforts of neutrals are

Hospital Ships

Berlin, by wireless to Sayville.
l.. l.. Feb. 1.-The Admiralty yes
terday made the following an
nouncement:
The German Government has
convincing evidence in hand that
hostile hospital ships frequently
are misused for the transporta-
ton of ammunition and troops.
The government has communi-
Gated these proofs to the British
and French Governments by diplo-
matte means. At the same time,
it declared that hospital ships

the hostile army engaged in
France and Belgium, within the
lines Marlborough Head-Ter-
schelling on the one hand, and the
Quessant-Land's End on the other,
sl.all no more be treated as such.
Hostile powers are free to
use hospital ships for the trans
portation of wounded and sick
army members on ways outside
this district. The barring of other
sea routes is reserved, in case of
further misuse of hospital ships
in violating of international
law" u

His two sons, living in the Cape, were

HIGH SCHOOL GETS
MILITARY TRAINING
New Boiler for Jefferson School.
3 Schools Get Drinking
Fountains.

Military training will be introduced
in the high school o.. ! pc city in the
near future, it was decided at The
meeting of the school board last
night. Superintendent j. N. Crocker
was authorized to have Mr.. swindell,
the manual training instructor Of the
school add military tSining to the
athletic program Of the year.
Mr.. Swindelps experience and train
ing in the camp Of the officers re-
serve at Fcrt Riley, Kansas last sum-
mer, has made him more efficient as
military instructor of the high school.
More than 40 students have already
volunteered to take the military
course. Definite arrangements will be
made later. Participation in the train
ing course will be left optiona! with
the students.
The innovation is due to the ac-
tivity of Emil Drusch, one of the
members Of the school board. 1t was
he who suggested the military training
courses in the public schools at the
last meeting of the school board.
Drinking fountains for the children
will be installed at the Lorimier,
jefferson ard Broadway schools. This
equipment will be purchased with the
money available by reason Of the pas
sage of the special 10 cent levy voted
by the citizens last May.
A new boiler has been purchased for
the jefferson school and the appar-
atus is expected to arrive here this
afternoon. It is believed that the
boiler can be installed and be ready
for use Monday morning for the op-
ening of the school.
Because of a defect of the boiler
the jefferson school had to be closed
yesterday and the children were Civ
en- a holiday. The boiler had burst
early in the morning and made heat
ing of the school impossible. The
rooms were too chilly for the chill
dren and they we're permitted to 60
home.
Superintendent Crocker made re-
port on the results effected by the
general vaccination order issued by
the board of health some time ago.
He said he hal thus far received about
1880 or 1900 vaccination certificates
from the chiidrep and that quite a
few were still holding out and re-
fused to comply with the order Of the
board of health The school board
again renewed its order to the super
intendent to keep all children out Of
school who had not been vaccinated
and not to permit their return unless
they could produce a certificate.
