YarrOWdale Men
Released, Berlin
Again Announces
Freed on Official News That
German Ships and Crews Are
Safe in United States

Paris. Feb. 22.-The Geneva corre-
spondeut Of the Hsvas Agency sends
the following dispatch received there
from the Wolff Bureau in Berlin:
ut is learned that the crews of the
merchant ships brought to Germany
aboard the British steamer Yarrowdale
have been released, though it is held
BY reason Of the present circumstances,
that the American sailors might have
been treated as prisoners of war. II
was decided some time ago 70 release
them as an exceptional measure, they
having begun their voyages without
knowing that they exposed themselves
10 treatment as prisoners because they
shipped aboard .rmed enemy merchant
men.
after the rupture OF relations with
the United States news reached Ger
many that German ships had been
seized and their crews interned. That
news gave rise to the idea that il might
be prudent not TO liberate the Amerl-
can sailors until official information
was received as TO the real situation.
Information has now been received
officially that German ships in Ameri-
can ports have not been seized and that
their crews have not been interned."
lTrom Tie Tribune Bureau
Washington, Feb. 22.-Unofficial re-
ports to-day that the Yarrowdale pris-
oners mad been released awakened no
interest among officials. This is the
third press dispatch to that effect that
has come out of Berlin, and each time
the facts have proved otherwise.
Until the State Department is ad-
vised officially by the Spanish Ambas-
sador at Madrid that the seventy-two
Americans have not only been re
leased" but conducted to the frontier,
the incident will not be closed.
The sharp demand that went forward
Monday has not been answered. 10 IS
expected that Berlin's reply will arrive
tomorrow, and that il will be entirely
favorable. The American demand was
couched in language such as TO make II
plain 10 Germany that any hesitation
would be rega rded as unfriendly.
