AUSTRIA EXPECTS BREAK
Aiming of United States Ships Will
Provoke Overt Act, Is Belief

Berlin, Feb. 10 (via London, Feb.
16).-The increasing possibility Of war
between the United States and Ger
many has increased the tension be-
tween Vienna and Washington, accord
ing TO the Vienna correspondent Of
the "Berliner Tageblatt," who tele-
graphs:
Further developments are looked
forward to with complete composure
by the Dual Monarchy, which is await
ing the next steps by President Wilson
in order 10 determine its future course.
"The determination Of the United
States government TO permit the arm
ing Of merchantmen is looked on as a
menacing element. This would deprive
U-boat commanders Of the only re-
naming possibility of permitting
American ships, which they recognize
at present as being unarmed, 10 dis
embark crews and passengers. The
ment wipes out the last remaining diff
ference between armed English mer-
chAntmen-which for some time past
have been sailing under the American
flag and bona fide American ships.
at is most natural that in the face
OF such a situation the possibility Of
war between Germany and the United
States has increased, for which reason
the future relations Of the United
States and the Dual Monarchy are now
being viewed with increased skepti-
cism."

against the Allied powers, but also
against neutral shipping, and the 1act
that merchant ships are constantly
sunk without regard TO the ultimate
safety of their crews, his majesty's
government gives notice that on and
after February 7, 1917, the mentioned
area in the North Sea will be rendered
dangerous to all shipping by operations
against the enemy, and it should there
fore be avoided"
The dangerous area designated in the
notice completely incloses the German
coast on the North Sea, allowing JUST
two loopholes for ships TO enter or
leave German ports on the North Sea;
a one-mile stretch off the coast of Jut-
land. beyond the Danish territorial wa
ters, and a four-mile stretch on the
coast of Holland, beyond the Dutch ter
ritorial waters.
The limit beyond which vessels may
rot travel without risk runs from the
middle of the west coast of Jutland
southwest to a point due west or bre-
merhaven. thence due south to point
seven miles off the Dutch coast, near
the southern end of the Tristan lslands.
The safety zone outlined begins AT
the sam. point off the Jutland coast
runs due south fifty miles, thence due
west thirty-fve miles, and turns south
and east again, allowing a safety
stretch at that point of about ten or
fifteen miles north and south and
thirty or forty miles east and west
ending at its southeastern point three
miles from the coast of Fano Island.
The entire safety zone covers an ir-
regular area of some 400 square miles.

Washington, Feb. 16.-lmportant
moves by Great Britain to meet the
submarine menace were announced
here to-day. A new danger zone
was proclaimed, seeking to block
practically the whole route of exit
toward the Atlantic Of the German
U-boats from their bases in Ger
many and Belgium.
With the English Channel practl-
cally closed by an elaborate system
of nets, mines and patrols, the means
Of exit for the submarines has been
through the route north of Scotland
and down the Irish coast. The new
danger zone, designed to close that
way out. is understood to have been
literally strewn with mines.
Notice Of the dangerous area IN the
North Sea because of operations against
Germany has been given by the British
Admiralty. A copy of the notice, dated
February 10, was received at the State
Department to-day. 1t warns shipping
that after February Z prescribed

and parts of Holland and Denmark, VIII

question Of the proper policing of the
north passage has become acute, be-
cause the radius of the submarines ac'

materially diminish its usefulness and
its endurance. The old and small sub
marines who had to go round the north
coast had no sooner got to their sta
tons than they had TO return unless
they could arrange for supplies reach
ing them, which was very difficult.
THE abrupt end to which the first
submarine campaign came in the au-
tumn of 1915 was due not to the Amer
lean notes, but to the conviction of the
Germans that nothing could usefully
be done until the radius of the sub
marines action was greatly extended.
Submarines were called from the
seas and fresh crews were trained in
them. BY the time their training was
the new submarines were ready.
They are now at work, leaving and re-
turning to German ports by the north
passage.

Transportation Heads See
Relief in Near Future

Chicago, Feb. 16.-While leading
representatives Of transportation
lines, manufacture and finance ad-
mitted that freight congestion at rail
road terminals in the East and the
Middle West presented serious OBJ
stacles, they were optimistic to-day
concerning the developments Of the
near future.
The decision of the British Adml-
raltv to permit neutral vessels sailing
from American ports for Europe TO
undergo examination at Halifax. IN
stead Of at Kirkwall, was pointed 10
as likely to bring relief from the con-
gestion in a short time.
Hale Holden, president OF the, Cni-
cago. Burlington & Quincy Railroad
said: with sufficient bottoms avail
able. | believe the freight situation
would adjust itself in thirty days"
George VI. Reynolds, president OF the
Continental and Commercial National
Bank, said: "The freight situation. has
brought great deal of complaint from
big shippers, manufacturers and whole-
salers. The only effect will be
healthy tightening Of the money mar
ket."
John P. Griffin, president Of the Chi,
cago Board of Trade, said he believed
shipping conditions will show great
improvement within the next forty.
eight hours, especially in shipment OF
grain.

Thousands of Autos Held
as Detroit Awaits Cars

Detroit Feb. 16.-Millions OF dollars,
worth of automobiles are tied up IN
Detroit bv the railroad congestion. Au-
tor,obile and traffic men say that IN

enc still worse. No freight cars are
available. Automobiles are being driven
under their own power to New YORK, 70
points as far West as Kansas, ana
every available bit Of storage IN De
troit, including Navin Field stands and
the buildings at the State Far GROUNDS,
IS clogged with cars.
II is pointed out that unless rad,
cal change occurs IN few weeks u
will be impossible to supply the demand
for cars and that the congestion here,
roundly estimated at SlO,OOO,OOO worth
of cars. will be even worse.

tied up" said W. J. Croker, assistant
traffic manager of the Packard Com
pany. "and are driving cars TO Ioledo'
Cleveland and Columbus. We are get
ting material by express. but we have
not yet gone 10 the lengths Of some OF
the other factories, which are driving

AT the Ford Motor Company it was
stated that "our stuff is moving. 1t Is
not moving as fast as usual, but we
are getting by"
officials Of other large companies be-
sides said that inability TO get raw ma.
terials constituted the real menace, and
unless immediate relief comes thousands
of their employees will be thrown out OF
employment.

Cagliari. Sardinia, Feb. 16.-Accord-
ing to an affidavit made by Captain
McDonough, Of the American schooner
Lyman NJ. Law, sunk off the coast of
Sardinia by a submarine on February
u. the submarine ordered the schooner
to halt, which she did Immediately.
The submarine, Captain McDonough's
affidavit continues, approached the
Lyman NJ. Law and an officer Of the
undersca boat examined the ships
papers and cargo and ordered the cap
tain and crew to leave. Afterward the
schooner was set on fire and sunk by
means of several bombs.
Captain McDonough makes oath that
the only cargo on board the schooner
comprised thin wood lath used for
making lemon boxes, loaded at Stock
ton, Me-, for Palermo, Sicily, and in
tended for use in the American trade.
In this connection it is pointed out
here that wood in general is contra
band when il can be employed for mil
itary uses, but the question is raised
il lGths of the sort indicated are in
cluded in this category, being useful
only for the construction Of boxes for
lemons and oranges, the expectation Of
which from Italy is allowed.

Reason for Mine Field
THAT seems to be the Significance n,
the new British mine field in the NorS

"The best OF ways with submarine,
is TO mine them up in their ports. That
being impossible, our first object must
be 10 restrict their course 10 marrow
passages in which they can be more
easily watched for. These are pre-
ventive measures designed 10 make the
egress and return Of submarines 70
their ports more difficult. The hunting
down of submarines in the open sea Is
another part Of the problem, which.
however, does not lend itself 10 dis.
cussion."

Washington, Feb. 16.-Three bills in
troduced in the House to-day by Repre-
sentative Platt, Of New York, would
revive the statutes enacted in 1889,
when American commerce was threat
ened by the French navy, except the
name Of Germany would be substituted
for France. The laws would empower
the government to prevent commerce
directly or indirectly with Germany, TO
seize German ships and 20 permit
American warships to attack German
armed vessels which menace American
commerce.
Representative Helgesen, Of North
Dakota, offered a resolution providing
for a war referendum, and Representa-

duced a bill proposing registration OF
aliens in case of war between the
United States and their native coun-
try. All OF the bills and the resolution
went TO the Foreign Affairs Committee.

26 Ships at Baltimore
Await CargOeS to Sail
lBy Telegraph % Tue TI5u1o- ]

Baltimore, Feb. 16.-Not a ship is be-
ing held in the Baltimore Harbor be-
cause of the U-bost scare, according to
grain merchants, although there are
twenty-six vessels here waiting for
grain cargoes that are being held back
by the congestion of other freight.
Members of the Chamber Of Com
merce are finding fault with the Baltl-
more e. Ohio officials because a greater
quantity of export grain was not put
on the tracks before the freight jam
became so pronounced, so tsat the
elevators would have been kept active.
