US. WILLLIVE
UP TO TREATY
WITH GERMANY
Text of Explanatory and Sup
Elemental Clauses Proposed
as Protocol Made Public

Washington, Feb. II. - The full
text of the explanatory and supple.
mental clauses proposed by Germany
as a protocol to the Prussian-Am-
erican treaty were made public to-
day at the State Department.
Briefly, the protocol amplifies the
treaty so as to place Germans in this
country and Americans in Germany in
case of war on exactly the same foot
ing as to all property rights, freedom
from detention, concentration camps
or sequestration of property that are
applicable to other neutrals. Ma
tionals of either country might re-
main fully undisturbed in the other
country as long as they please and
not for the nine months period pro-
vided in the treaty.
To Live Up to Spirit
Merchant ships of either nation
might not be seized or driven to sea
unless under safe conduct to their
home ports through all possible
enemies and their captains and crews
may not be made prisoners.
Officers have pointed out that while
Germany's violation of several pro
visions of the treaty may be taken by
this country to have vitiated the
convention, the United States will still
continue to live up to It's spirit, Two
proclamattons already have guaran-
teed that German ships or private Ger
man property will not. even in case
of war be seized and used by this
government,
Little interest is shown by the State
Department officials in the German
proposal,
There is no indication that any i'm
mediate action will be taken,
Whether the new document con-
stitutes in effect a new treaty subject
to ratification by the Senate or whether
1t is mere explanatory protocol is
one of the points at issue, If it is
shown to have new provisions or
modify the sense of the earlier docu-
ment Senate approval is essential,

GERMAN EMBASSY
GAVE ORDERS TO
DISABLE STEAMER
Captain of Kronprinzessen
Cecelie Testifies Command
Came From Official
KEEPS NAME A SECRET
Work Was Done to Prevent
Vessels Use in Event of
HostilitieS
KEEPS NAME A SECRET

Boston, Feb. II. Captain Charles
A. Polack, of the North German Lloyd
steamship Kronprinzessen Cecelie
testified to-day at federal court hear
ing on petition for the sale of the
vessel that he had been ordered by a
man connected in an official capacity
with the Germany embassy, to disable
its machinery. This was done, he
said, to prevent the ships use by this
government in the event of hostilities
with Germany. He refused to divulge
the name of the man giving the order
Captain Polack said he was in Ho-
boken, n. j., when he received the or
der and that he telegraphed his chief
engineer here to disable the engines
The work of destruction was done on
January 81 and February /, he said.
When asked by counsel for the petit
TONERS to give the name of the per-
son from whom the order was receiv-
ed, Captain Polack said:
Your Honor, / am an officer of the
German navy and if l should have to
disclose the name of this gentleman
in this hearing, l might be tried for
treason when l went home to Ger
many. l wish you would not oblige
me to answer that question"
Keeps Name Secret
The question was not pressed and
Judge Morton decided that it would
not be necessary for the captain to
answer it at this time.
Captain Polack said he met the en-
bassy official in January at the North
German Lloyd offices in Hoboken. The
orders to disable the ship were given
at that time in the presence of Captain
Moller, superintendent of the COM
pany's lines in this country, he testi-
fed. Captain Polack was preparing
to visit Hot Springs. Va, at the time
but changed his plans and returned
to this city.
Continuing his testimony, the cap
tain declared the embassy officials said
to him: THE relations between the
two countries are being severed and
the condition is very serious"
i The witness testified that he inquir-
cd whether the machinery was to be
disabled Immediately and that he re-
ceived an affirmative answer. Captain
Moller, he said, did not participate in
this part of the conversation.

Potatoes Sell at $3.50;
Highest in City's History

Take them or leave 'em at $3.50 a
bushel.
This was about all the consolation
Harrisburgers got to-day when they
viewed the potato market and its soar
ing prices.
Grocers throughout the city who
charged these prices declared that
many reasons were back of the latest
increase in the cost of the tubers.
Good grades of white potatoes, how
ever, are being sold in the wholesale
markets in Philadelphia at $2.75.
The price is said to be the highest
ever demanded for potatoes in the
history of the city. Housewives say it
is virtually a dollar more than the
highest price demanded in recent
years. Early in the fall of 1915 pota-
toes sold in the local markets at so
cents a bushel.

Question Regarded by Off
cials as Overshadowing
Collateral Issues of Situa-
tion; Conditions Becoming
Intolerable
NEW MINED AREA in
NORTH SEA ANNOUNCED
Will Enable Liners to Take
Northern Route and Avoid
Danger Zone; Decrease in
Daily Tonnage Sunk by
Teutons Noted With Won
der


Washington, Feb. II. - What has
virtually become a blockade of Amer
lean Atlantic ports by Germany's ruth
less submarine campaign was regarded
by officials to-day as overshadowing
the collateral issues of the situation.
That President Wilson soon will go
before Congress to announce steps to
relieve the situation was the generally
accepted view but no time has been set
Tor his action and there was no indi-
cation of how soon it will be taken.
The effect on the country of the
shipping sitution was reflected in the
receipt of hundreds of kilograms by
government officials to-day urging
congestion.
Becoming IntoIerabIe
Officials recognize that the holding
of the majority of American and other
ships in port fast Is becoming intoler-
able. Piling up of freight on rail-
roads, while believed to be. largely
due to weather and other conditions,
is nevertheless looked upon as in part
the result of the inability of exporters
to clear American ports of freight.
Means of protecting American ships
against the submarine danger still are
under consideration. Many officials
believe the President has the power to
direct the Navy Department to fur
nish these vessels with guns and gun
crews. Nevertheless the possibility that
clash with Germany might result is
expected to cause the President to go
before Congress before taking such a
step.
While the President and the Navy
Department pondered the arming Of
merchantmen, Secretary McAdoo was
preparing list of vessels held in port,
and Secretary Redfield was at work
on comprehensive analysis of the
damage submarines are causing to
shipping generally.
Proclaim New Mined Area
Great Britains proclamation of a
new mined area in the North Sea to
restrict the movement of German sub
marine to and from home ports, and
the plans to make Halifax instead
of Kirkwall port of search for trans
Atlantic shipping between the United
States and Northern European neu-
trails were expected to provide some
relief from the general shipping con-
gestion. By the latter plan vessels
might avoid the war zone.
Officials also noted with considerable
wonder that the aggregate tonnage of
submarine victims recently has been
only a few thousand tons daily. The
idleness of American ships was dis
cussed at yesterdays cabinet meeting
and officials emphasized that the main
problem in the German-American re-
lations now is the submarine campaign
and its effect on American commerce.
Inquiries concerning the unofficial
reports that the Yarrowdale prisoners
have been released by the German
government and in regard to a train
load of American consuls and other
nationals long overdue from Munich
have been addressed to the Spanish
ambassador in Berlin.

BY DON WARFEL

With a record Of five defeats in
seven starts during tho last home stay,
the Richmond Central league baseball
outfit left Tuesday morning for Fort
Wayne, after dropping the final game
to Grand Rapids Monday afternoon
with a to 1 count
With the exception Of the double
header on Sunday, the games were
well worth watching.
Although a wild throw by Evers and
a boot by Gygli were responsible for
the defeat of the Quakers In Mondays
game, these two wobbles allowing
Grand Rapids two runs. the game
would probably have lasted forever,
had they not been made, as Steve
Meter was allowing few hits, and
Young was clearing the bags with
regularity, except where errors were
brought into the play.
Back Into Sixth.
BY dropping Mondays contest. the
Quakers slid back into sixth place in
the league, the Vets going around
them through their layoff Monday. and
Evansville moving up to just a game
and a half behind Richmond.
The Quakers are now game and
half behind Peoria. and half game
behind Dayton. With Peoria playing
Evansville on the home grounds, the
chances for the Quakers overtaking
them and landing In the first division
again are very small, but with Dayton
playing at Muskegon and the Quakers
at Fort Wayne, there Is good chance
of the Quakers. leading the second
division for at least three games.
Essicks Get Seven.
Seven hits, three of the scratch
variety, gave Grand Rapids its fourth
straight victory Monday. In the first
found with one out, Miller singled,
Brant followed suit and Mitchell
scored Miller on the third scratch Of
the inning. The Quakers tied the
score with their only run. on Crouch's
double and Gygli's single in the last OF
the second.
A pass to Carey in the sixth and
Mathes' double. scored Grand Rapids
second run in the fifth, and double
by Alcock, with Evers' Wild heave in
the eighth put over the last one and
sewed up the contest.
