MISER'S ORBERTO SINK NEUTRAL BOATS
WITBOUT WARNING SfltS UNCLE SAM
It is Reported That the Presideet jed His Cabinet Are
Serioasly Considering the Armii^ nf Merchant Ships,
Likely to Lend to Extreue Measures
Washington, Feb. 13.—Much con
cern was manifested in administra
tion circles here toinght following
the announcement from Berlin that
the muzzles had been ordered off
the mouths of all guns and torpe
does of the submarine navy and
that all ships would from this time
on look alike to German command
ers; that neutrals would come in the
same category with belligerents and
be sent to the bottom of the sea
without warning.
It was recognized that the dread
ed "overt act" may now be expect
ed at Any moment and this situa
tion prompted a belief that prepar
ations for protecting American
ships would be hastened.
There was evident anexiety at the
State Department over the fate of
the seventy-two citizns taken , to
Germany from the captured Yar
rowdale.
Definite advices from abroad in
dicated that Germany was holding
the Yarrowdals prisoners Rto assure
protections of Germans in the Uni
ted States.
The first direct report to the de
partment from recalled Ambassador
Gerard reached Washington tonight
from Berne. It said nothing about
the Yarrowdale prisoners.
It was confined to question as to
the disposition to be made of the
LEMON SHORTAGE.
Better lay in a supply of lemons,
said a produce salesman to the Re
view reporter today. Right soon a
higher, price may be expected, be
cause of the submarine activity,
lemon shipments from Sicily have
about stopped and this means a
shortage. Here is the situation as
reports give it from New York. To
keep the lemon supply at normal in
the United States there should be
350,000 cases on the high seas right
now, whereas, there, are bookings
of only 16,000 cases for American
ports at this time, without the sup
ply from Italy. This country reustj
depend ' upon its supply from Culi
f..-rnia, which is the only American,
section that produces the lemon to
any commercial extent. Of course
there is nothing known of the cold
storage supply that is being held in
the United States, but it is not be
lieved, it would be sufficient, to hold
prices down to the present level.
Buy lemons, but dont look sour.

ambassador's staff and it is expect
ed that <$ least a part of the Berlin
staff will be left at Berne to facili
tate thei£handling of American af
fairs bypthe State Department.
An inquiry directed to Berlin by
the Stata Department through the
Swiss goqornment however elicited
the reply that the Yarrowdale pri
soners 4rere again detained.
Through the same channel the de
partment Received a request for the
re-affirmation of the Prussian treaty
of 1828, safeguarding citizens of
both.countries in time of war.
It was learned that the adminis
tration looks with little favor on this
proposal, .Afhich Ambassador Gerard
declined tty forward to this govern
ment before he left Berlin.
The department takes the posi
tion that Germany has already abro
gated this treaty and that this gov
ernment Urlll not consent to renew
it at this time.
It has boon frequently^ stated
however, that the President will ad
here strictly to the principle of

A new war measure ätade its ap
pearance in the Senate today when
Senator Saulsbury, who is close to
the White House, introduced a bill
throwing open American ports to
the warships of the Entente powers.
Senator Saulsbury said the mea
sure would give effective aid in sup
pressing the unrestricted use of sub
marines. ' .
The bill entitled "An Act to Dis
courage the Violation of Interna
tional Law on the High Seas,"
would provide that whenever any
belligerent in any war in which the
United States is not engaged "shall
engage in or permit a course of war
fare or use methods not justified or
warranted by the laws of war, the
ports of the United States may be
freely used by the warships of any
other belligerent."
The opening of tha.pSBÇts would be
dependent on the proclamation of
the President.
Senator Stone, chairman of the
foreign relations committee to
which the: Saulsbury bill was refer
red, declared himself opposed to the
