Pay Rather Than Go on Strike.

members of the Stenographers' Union

Germans Anxious About Envoy.

According to an interesting rumor in
circulation today, the German authori-
ties are somewhat concerned over the
detention at Halifax of Count Won
Bernstorff, former German ambassador
at Washington, and other German Of
GctalS, ordered home on the severance
Of relations between Germany and the
United States. There is q disposition
on the part of some German officials,
IS said, to question the good faith
of the safe conduct" for the party
promised by the entente allies, and il
IS declared that the inspection being
made at the British port is unneces-
sarIy severe and veXatiouS. in view
OF the neutral character of the steam
ship Frederik VIII and the compIetea
ness OF the clearance papers issued by
the customs authorities at New York
with respect to her cargo.
The Scandinavian liner arrived at
aaif1aX February 16 and it is reported
will not be permitted to sail for scy-
eral days yet
AS the current rumor puts it, the
Terman authorities are inclined TO re-
sent the treatment accorded their Of
IcialS on the Frederick VIII at Hall
fax and only await their safe arrival
on German territory to show it in some
onmistakable way. 1t is limited that
a,dad Wdale tne German government has de-
cioed to release the American prison
ers taken to Germany on the British
ship Yarrowdale, their actual release
may be deferred until after Count Won
Sernstorff and party have safely ar
rlved in Germany, or at least have
been permitted to leave the British port
or Halifax on their long trip across
the Atlantic. In other words, the
American prisoners may be held as
hostages for the safe return of the
German officials ordered home by the
United States.
The United States, in note trans
n1itted to the Berlin foreign office
through the Spanish ambassador there
has again demanded the release of the
americans made prisoners on the prize
snip Yarrowdale- In the absence of a
satisfactory response to an inquiry sent
recently, 1t was decided to demand their
Immediate release. The communication
vas dispatched by the State Department
Monday, and SO far has brought no re-
sponse. No time limit for the release
or the prisoners was fixed by the d.
partment. High officials said today that
the communication would not be made
public: as they did not desire to divert
attention from the main issue, submarine
warfare, by confusing the public mind
