Withdrawal of Diplomats
From Austria Under Way

new Austrian ambassador, who
landed at New York the day the
German proclamation was received,
could not present his credentials to
President Wilson until the issue be-
tween the two countries was clear
ed up.
The feeling prevails here that
while both this country and Austria
are seeking to avoid break, Ger
many is determined that her ally
shall support to the greatest degree
possible the submarine campaign.
The withdrawal of the American
diplomatic and consular corps from
Austria will not present as difficult
problem as in the case of Ger
many. The embassy force at Vienna
is smaller and there are only about
l2 consuls in the dual empire. Lat
est official reports indicate thai
while there are several hundred
Austro- Americans there, there ar'
less than so native Americans whit
would return TO the United Statel

AMER|CANCREWS
HELD AS HOSTAGES IN VIOLA
TIoN OF ALL TREATY
RIGHTS AND LAW

I
WASHINGTON, d. G.. Feb. 2S-
Germanys procrastination in COM
plying with repeated American de-
mands for release of the Yarrowdale
prisoners is bringing the controversy
to a stage of extreme gravity. Ac-
counted from the first perhaps the
most serious difficulty between the
two countries aside from the sub
marine issue itself the Yarrowdale
case has been a source of growing
concern and Indignation among of
ficials, some of whom are now con-
vinced that Germany's intention is
not more nor less than to hold the
American seamen as hostages pend
ing a declaration as to peace or war.
Such an act would be regarded
here as not only fragrant violation
of American law and treaty rights
but an open insult to the dignity
and good faith of the United States
While the administration has been
inclined to subordinate all collateral
issues to the paramount principles
involved in the submarine campaign
the plight of the Yarrowdale mer
has forced itself steadily forward al
one of the most important factors
| in the whole German crisis.

suggested slight possibility that
Austrias reply to this governments
aide memoir asking a definition
of her attitude in the submarine sit
alton, might be favorable. No real
hope was raised here. however, and
no change in instructions followed.
Pending reply to the aide
memoir, the Austrian situation will
remain in the same indefinite state
which has characterized 1t since
the day Of the rupture with Ger
many when a note similar, though
not identical to Germanys suhmar-
inc proclamation, was received from
Ambassador Penfield. Then the aide

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2S.-
State department officials voiced
surprise bordering on indignation at
the chancellor's speech of yesterday
seeking to confuse the German
American relations with statements
palpably opposed to the most OBJ
vious events of recent history.
The statement that the United
States severed relations "brusquely"
is view as ridiculous. 1t is pointed
out that Germany showed a realiza-
tion Of the coming break by order
ing the merchantmen of this coun-
try to be disabled, and Won Bern
storff said he expected for several
days to be dismissed.
Germany put the campaign of
ruthlessness in effect on eight hours
notice after months of assurances
that there was no intention to do so.
The United States delayed three
days after this foreshadowing action
and several notes.

Senator McCumber, of North Da-

ators Stone and O'Gorman in this

Those opposed to the measure also
sought to limit it by a provision
which would prevent the president
from placing gunners of the navy
on armed merchant ships. This pro
posal was rejected Another amend
ment submitted by senators who
sought to direct immediate armine
of ships would have authorized the

he deems necessary to protect yes
sells and citizens Of the United
States on the high seas. The bill
further includes the $l00,O00,OO0
bond issue as was provided in the
house bill.
Four senators, three Democrats
and one Republican. Stone, Hitch
cock, O'Gorman and Smith of Mich
gan, were opposed to the main sec
tion OF the bill as amended for var
ious reasons, but no roll call was
taken on the motion to report the
bill in its final form.
One OF the principal differences
in the bill from the measure as sub
mitted to the house is provision In
the first section which authorizes
commanders and crews of all mer-
chant vessels to arm and defend
their own vessels against unlawful
attacks. This was taken from an
anti-piraey statute adopted by the
government in 1919.
The committee also voted to elm
mate from the original form recon-
mended by the president, the words;
SHOULD 1t in his judgment become
necessary for him to do So" applied
to the authorization to arm the ships.
This was stricken out because the
majority of the committee believed
it carried the implication that the
emergency demanding the arming OF
ships had not yet arrived when 1t is
their opinion that the emergency
does exist and has existed for some
time.
Senators Stone, Hitchcock and
oGorman, the three democrats who
did not approve the measure as fl
nally drafted, we're opposed to II
because of the refusal Of the COM
mittee to accept an amendment by
Senator Stone which would with
hold protection from American ships

lie. The ominous tension has been
gathering intensity. The nation is
pinning its faith to submarines.
The tension of Germany's submar-
inc warfare has found its eulmina-
ton in the torpedoing without
warning of the Laconia on which
two American women met death. A
clear-cut violation Of American rights
is the Characterization placed upon
the disaster by official Washington
and greater efforts are being put
forward by President Wilson to
have Congress give him the author
