NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The German
blockade declaration has not delayed
the transportation of war materials
and munitions from the United States
to Great Britain and France. Garry
ing manifestos in the customs house
here, show that five steamers now on
their way from this port to Europe
carrying enough contraband war
goods to equip an army corps.
Two of these vessels fly French col.
ors; the others are of British registry.
1t is believed in shipping circles, that
on account of the value of their car
goes Great Britain has made arrange
ments to convoy these ships through
the danger zone. Three of them left
New York after the date on which
Germany declared for unrestricted
submarine warfare. Four of them, the
Rochambeau for Bordeaux, the Adri-
attic, Carmania and Baltic for Liver
pool, carry passengers.
The only two American passenger
ships now at sea, according to the
declaration of agents of the line, carry
10 contraband cargo. They are the
Kroonland, which sailed for Liverpool
JAN 81, and the New York, which
departed from the same port Feb. 8.

WAR Time ASPECT
ASSUMED BY YARDS
At PHILADELPHIA
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6.-Condit-
ions along the river front, at the navy
yard, the government arsenals and the
private armament plants today assum-
ed wartime aspect with every con-
ceivable precaution in force to prevent
overt act by fanatics or others hostile
to the United States.
In semi-official and civilian circles
patriotic and preparedness measures
were everywhere apparent. Recruiting
stations were overwhelmed with ap-
plications for service in both the army
and navy.
Scores of industrial establishments,
including the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, one of the largest manufactur-
ing plants in the city, have volunteered
their services to the government in
case of necessity.
One hour and half was added to-
day to the working day of all civilian
employees at the navy yard except
those in the public supplies depart
ment
Plans are under way, it is said, to
place the yard on a three shift basis,
each shift working eight hours.
