URGENT INQUIRY TO GERMANY
AS TO RE-DETENTIoN OF SEA-
MEN TAKEN ON PRIZE SHIP \
YARROWDALE.
MORE VIGOROUS ACTION
is EXPECTED TO FOLLOW
Cabinet Meeting Decides That Liberty
Of Sailors Should Be Demanded In
Most Emphatic Fashion-Cablnet
Divided On Giving Guns to
Merchantmen.

Washington, Feb. 10. - An inquiry
concerning the re-detention by Ger
many Of the 70 American seamen TAX
en- in by the prize ship Yarrowdale
has been dispatched to Berlin by the
United States preliminary to more
vigorous action If the men are not
promptly released.
The plight of these sailors occu.
pied much of the time at the cabinet
meeting, given over to the interna
tional crisis. 1t was agreed that their
liberty again should be demanded In
most emphatic fashion.
Full Report Awaited.
Pending complete reports as to the
treatment of German crews on war.
bound ships in the Philadelphia, Ha.
wall, and elsewhere, the government
will content itself with the inquiry
as to why Americans are held and
under what conditions.
The cabinet considered the question
of providing navy guns for American
ship owners desiring to arm their YES,
sells for defense, was considered, but
no decision was reached.
Berlin's formal announcement that
the time has expired for all exceptions
in the campaign Of ruthlessness,
turned attention to the questions
which confront the American govern
ment in whatever next step may be
taken to meet the situation.
President to Decide.
1t is understood there was divi-
sion of opinion with most of the cab
met officials strongly favoring furnish
ing the guns both on the ground that
permitting American ships to remain
idle in port suggests acquiescence in
Germany's course, and because the
congestion of oceanbound freight in
the country's reports is assuming Sc
rious proportions.
Two or three members are said to
have opposed the policy. The Pres
ident will decide the questions.
Senator Salisbury of Delaware,
president pro tempore of the Senate,
and a majority of the foreign rela-
tons committee, introduced a bill in
the Senate which would throw down
neutrality bars to the Allies and open
all ports, harbors and territorial wa
tiers of the United States to their war
ships and other vessels as freely as
in times of peace.
The bill was referred to the foreign
relations committee.
More Breaks Likely.
There are strong indications that
severance of relations with Germany
would be extended to the other Teu-
tonic powers. Austria's adherence to
Germany's position is regarded as
practically certain to force break
with that country. Ambassador Elkus
at Constantinople was instructed to
ascertain whether submarines operat-
ing under the Turkish flag were under
the same instructions as those of Ger
many and Austria.
Serious difficulties with Turkey ex-
list over interference with Armenian
and Syrian relief and the detention of
more than 1000 American refugees.
No information has been received
at the State department since the
break with Germany from Ambassa-
dor Elkus or from Consul General
Murphy, in Sofia, who cared for Amer
lean interests throughout Bulgaria.
All cables to and from both points
must go through Vienna.

RAIDER SINKS z Cruisers, Rumor.
Buenos Aries, Feb. 1S.-Rumors per-
sist that there has been an engage
ment at sea between the German raid
er and vessels of the allied patrol.
One Of these, circulated at Rio de jan

British cruisers Amethyst and Glasgow
off Fernando de Norohna, Brazil. The
report was generally discredited. The
last direct word concerning the Anne

President Anxious 70 Avoid War Blu,
Determined That Americans and
Their Shipping Shall Travel
High Seas UnmoIested.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE course to
be taken by the United States if Ger
many compels the use of force to safe
guard American lives and rights has
been determined.
1t was learned authoritatively after
the cabinet meeting that If President
Wilson goes before Congress again it
will not be to ask for a declaration
of war, but to follow literally the
words of the address in which he an
nounced the break in diplomatic re-
lations and request authority to use
means deemed necessary to protect
American seamen and people.
The President, it was stated, is as
anxious as ever to avoid war with
Germany, but also is as determined
as ever that American citizens and
ships shall be free to travel the high
seas unmolested. His next step, Il
necessary, will be to enforce that right
and even then the issue Of war or
peace will have to come in the form
of an interference with an American
right.

Details of the governments plans
ARE not discussed. 1t is known, how
ever, that conveying and arming of
merchant ships are being considered.
No new developments came to in
dictate that the overt act by Germany
regarded as inevitable was near at
hand. Several reports of ships sunk
came in, and none told officially Of
the loss of an American life. Further
information received about George
Washington, the negro fireman lost on
the Turino, indicated that he prob
ably was British subject.
The cabinet met with all members
present except Secretary McAdoo.
Questions discussed included pro-
posed emergency legislation, steps for
protecting property, mail problems
precipitated by the failure of ships
to sail from American ports for Eu-
rope, economic issues, and the army
and navy preparations.
