That this treaty provision applies

Farm, brought into san Juan, Porto
Rico in January 1915, by German
prize crew and intcrned under state

state department ruled that the Farm
was fleet auxiliary.
That the Hague conventions. which
would alter prize provisions OF the

When Mrs. Lulu L. Shepard, of

on "Mormonism" in the Queen Thea
tire. at 3.45 o'clock tomorrow after
noon, she doubtless will face an audi
ence that will crowd the theatre. This
means that 1000 people will be out
to hear the well-known woman or
ator from Utah. Her subject will
be ''Mormonism.'
By some, Mrs. Shepard is con-
sidered not to have an equal among
her sex as a platform speaker.
The churches cooperating in the
church efficiency campaign were able
to secure her for Wilmington at this
time because she had planned to at
tend the Presidential Inauguration
exercises on Monday, March 5. AS
she will be in this vicinity at that
time. Mrs. Shepard consented TO
come TO Wilmington TO address the

Onicial Statement
The official press agency issued the
following statement:
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman was
asked by a star member OF the official
German press bureau about the Eng
lish report of German plot revealed
70 get Mexico 10 declare war against
the United States and TO secure
Japan's aid against the United States.
The State Secretary for Foreigr
! Affairs answered
you understand that It is impossl-
BILE for me 70 discuss the facts Of
this revealed plot just at this
moment and under these circum-
stances.
"T therefore may be allowed to
limit my answer 20 what Is said in
the English reports what most GER
tainly we're not inspired by sympathy
with Germany.
1.-The English reports expressly
state that Germany expected and
wished 20 remain with the United
States on terms OF friendship. but in
case the United States declared war
against Germany. we prepared meas
ures OF defense. / fail TO see how
such a plot is inspired by unfriend-
liness on our part.
1T would mean nothing hut that we
would use means universally admitted
in war in case the United States declared
war.
"'The most important part Of the al
legged plot is It's conditions and forms
The whole plot falls fiat to the ground
in case the United States does not de
clare war against us.

then we really had reasons to do So

ent, who said that the United States
was only waiting for the proper moment
in order TO opportunely assist the En-
tente.
"'rhe same American stated that
Americans from the beginning of the
war really participated in il by put
ting the immense resources OF the
United States at the Ententes dis
poeml and that the Americans had
not declared war only because they
felt sure that assistance by friendly
neutrality would be during that time
much more efficient for tho Entente
than direct participation in the war
Whether this American newspaper
man represented the facts exactly we
were at loss to judge in satisfactory
fashion since we were more or less
completely cut on from real commune
ication with the United States.
But there were other facts which
seemed TO confirm this and similar
assurances.
Everybody knows these facts ana
need not repeat them.
The Entente propagandists have
heralded all these o-Entente dem
onstrations in the United States. And
If you link these demonstrations to-
gether with the actual attitude OF the
United States. then It is obvious that
the consideration was not frivolous
on our part OF what defensive meas
ures we should take II we were at

sphiladelphia is as safe as Gallipoli."
Lieutenant Colonel frank +. Harris, in
command Of the coast defenses of Phila-
delphia and Wilmington. with headquar-
ters at Fort DUPONT, gave that comfort
ing assurance yesterday Tor any timid
soul who hears the opening OF a German
invasion in the pop Of an automobile
tire during the night.
"The city, he added, could not be
captured by any naval force. The for
tifcations at Fort DUPONT and at Fort
Mott and Fort Delaware are all modern,
and there is no record where a fleet has
ever heen able TO raze or take modern
fortifcation. you have an illustration
of this failure in the recent Dardanelles
campaign.

forts Of this kind; it must be Joint at
tack by an army an da navy. The only
time that a modern fertilization was
besieged and captured was Port Arthur
and the Japanese worked around to tho
rear Of the fortress and invested It
until it fell.
"A joint attack bv land and sea
leve. First, the enemy would need
TO land the army, and again that force
would have 70 drive back a defensive
force massed along the coast from

Would Need 100000 Men.
Even II this army Of ours was de-

would keep them back In any event
/ We would need an army OF 100000 or
possibly 10000 men along the coast
! to meet the invaders, and / have little
fear OF the outcome OF the clash.
How about an attack by subma-
rines?'' he was asked
THAT Is not a danger that any

he answered. Every harbOr in this
country has already been provided
with nets and mines, and II Is only a
question OF placing the steel plesh and
planting the explosives when the
proper time comes. That does not re-
quire much effort
"Of course, cannot. because OF cir
