TWO GERMAN SAILORS
ENGINEERED ESCAPE

lnterned Raiders.

Philadelphia, March 20.-Notwith-
standing the navy departments an
nouncemcnt that all the sailors on
German auxiliary cruisers. interncd at
the Philadelphia navy yard. who last
night made a dash for liberty. had been
accounted for, the local police tonight
were working on the theory that at
least two of the Germans made good
their escape.
Search of the waters around the yard
for the bodies of Lieutenant Chorth
and Hermann Schroeder, machnist's s
mate. reported to have been drowned
in the attempt to swim 800 yards to
the main land, was discontinued to-
day. Captain Tate of the detective
bureau detailed a large squad Of men
to watch railroad terminals and all
other exits from the city and "fliers"
containing descriptions of Chorth and
Schroeder were sent broadcast.
Mayor Smith announced that the In =
termed crews. numbering about 75O
men, would be transferred to Forts
Oglethorpe and Mcpherson early to-
morrow. His announcement was made
after communicating with navy de-
partmcnt officials at Washington.

SMELLING OF RELIEF
SHIPS UNAUTHORIZED?
Germany Had Promised to
Pass All Relief Vessels.

New York. March 2O.-In connection
with cable reports of the shclling of
the RELIEF ships Haelen and Tuncsic
and the alleged killing Of several men
In ono of tho lifeboats, the commits :
sioner for relief in Belgium issued
the following statement tonight:
1T is inconceiveablc that. il Ger
man submarine commander made such
an attack and ordered the shooting
down of seven relief ship sailors in an
open lifeboat, he did SO under author-
ity from his government
THE ships left Holland in ballast
with four others under specific in
structions from the German govern
ment as to their route and time of
sailing.
Furthermore. the commission had
positive assurances last week from the
German government that U-boats had
been instructed to pass all relief
ships.
1T is unthinkable that any govern
ment would at once break its word in
such manner, much less be party
of wantonly' killing relief ship sailors.
I'm such circumstances the commits
sion is disposed to suspend Judgment
until authentic reports arc received"

ADDITIONAL GAINS
MADE BY entente
Despite Bad Weather Many
villages Are Possessed on
French Front.
(By Associated Press.)

Notwithstanding bad weather and
almost insuperable conditions Of ter
rain and the obstacles placed by the
Germans to protect their retreat, both
the British and French armies in
France have made further notable
gains.
Fourteen additional villages have
been entered by the British forces
from Arras southwark to Ham and
they have passed the general line Of
Canizy, Entres-sn- Chausscc, Nurlu.
Velue and st. Leger. The forward
march beyond Entree EN- -Chaussce
places the British troops within 12
miles of st. Quentin.
On their part of the line, however
the French have thrown their cavalry
to within Az miles of st. Quentin and
also haye rc-occnpicd considerable
territory between the Sommc and the
Aisne.
Paris reports that the losses of the
French troops in their pursuit of the
Germans have been insignificant.
Berlin in it's official communication
says that in the retreat of the Ger
mans, they have rendered the field Sc
lected for the coming engagement with
the entente forces useless from a. mil
itary standpoint. A high German mil
itary authority told the Associated
Press that the mancuvcr of the Ger
mans had ended the plans of the en-
tente for their spring offensive and
that from strong new positions the
Germans will give battle to the British
and French as they come across the
devastated battlefield.
From none Of the other fronts has
there come report chronicling partic-
ularly sanguinary engagements.
Berlin reports the sinking in the
Mediterranean Monday by German
submarine of a French battlcship Of
the Danton class. This class of ves-
sci displaced lS.O2s tons and carries
6S1 officers and men.

CALL fOR EXTRA
SESSION BEFOR[
APRIL IS URGED
Cabinet Understood to Be
Unanimous In Advice to
President Wilson.
WAR STATE EXISTS,
UNIVERSAL OPINION
Only Question Of What Is to
BE Done About It Remains
for Decision.

Washington, March 20. For two
hours today President Wilson discussed
the international crisis With his cabi-
net and heard urgent suggestions that
the date fort the. extra session of con :
gress fixed for April Is be set forward
TO consider further steps in defense OF
American commerce against German
submarines. 1t Is runorcd that there
advice
The president himself did not ex-
press his views and so far as could
be learned later had not finally de-
termincd upon a course to be pursued
The prevailing belief was that he
would announce the call for an earlier
meeting of congress tomorrow.
Among officials virtually the unani-
nous opinion is that in spite of the
technical armed neutrality status OF
the United States. actually IA state OF
war exists us the result of the, ruth
less destruction of American merchant
ships and the killing of American clti-
zens in defiance of International law
and of the most solemn warning ono
nation can give another. The only
question is what shall be done about it.
further than the arming OF merchant
men to resist submarine attack il they
get the chance.
Tho cabinct members generally are
said to have expressed their will
linEness to support a program based
on an early call for congress and IA
formal declaration that II state Of war
exists between Germany and tho
United States.
Tonight the president went to the
theater--a thing he frequently does
when he has made n preliminary de-
cision on a. grave question and wants
distraction in order to look at the
problem anew with freshcncd mind.

following cablcgram:
Astonishing Revolt.
The last week has seen the most
astonishing, revolution. Two hundred
million people who have lived under
absolute monarchy for 1000 years and
who are now engaged in the greatest
war in history have forced their
emperor to abdicate for himself and
his son and induced the brother to
whom was transferred imperial au-
thority, to accept on condition that a
constitutional assembly of people so
wish and who will exercise power ,un-
der authority of government framed
by that assembly.
NO opposition to provisional govern.

to call constitutional assembly or con-
vention. whose members will be elected
by whole people and who will be en-
powered to organize good government
Whether republic or constitutional
monarchy undecided, but conclusions of
assembly will be accepted by the peo-
pie and enforced by the army and
navy.
The United States always looks with
favor upon movement for the ex-
tension Of republicanism. The Russian
movementec consequently has been re-
ceived with deep sympathy here. where
the quality of the present leaders is
well known and highly esteemed.
