NEWPORT NEWS, V.. April 11.
The German converted cruiser Kron
prinz Wilhelm. the elusive raider of
commerce In the South Atlantic, slipped
into the port today and asked for fuel
and provisions. Many times reported
destroyed, the former North-German
Lloyd liner had evaded hostile war
ships for eight months while she sent
14 merchantmen to the bottom. Her
officers said she was forced to steal
her way past four allied cruisers on
the Virginia Capes to reach this refuge.
"We got, in without being- seen by
the enemy and we can get out the
same way," declared her commander,
Lieutenant-Captain Paul Theirfelder,
formerly navigating officer of the
German cruiser Karlsruhe, in a state
ment tonight.
Supplies Nearly Exhausted.
When she droped anchor., the Kronr
prinz Wilhelm had less than 25 tons
of coal and scanty provisions for the
crew of 500 men and 61 prisoners from
British merchant ships sunk in the
Eouth Atlantic
Of 14 ships that the 15.000-ton cruis
er sank, nine were British, four
French and one Norwegian.
The value of these ships and their
cargoes officers of the Wilhelm to
night estimated at $7,000,000.
"When the Kronprinz Wilhelm -arrived
off Brsible Shoals, after passing
In the Virginia capeB. early today, two
United States submarines, the G-l and
D-2, met her. The appearance of the
submarines caused considerable sur
prise among the crew, but there was no
demonstration, as the little vessels con
voyed the German raider to quarantine,
where Dr. MacCafferty. United States
quarantine officer, boarded her.
Crew and Passengers III.
' Commander Thierflelder reported 66
cf the crew and prisoners were 111 with
beri-beri and requested that they be
taken to a hospital.
The Kronprinz Wilhelm followed in
the wake of the interned Prinz Eltel
Friedrich. which arrived here a month
ago yesterday after thrilling and ef
fective operations for the German
arms.
In her raid of the seas since she
slipped out of New York harbor Au
gust 3 last as a German merchant and
passenger steamer, the Kronprinz
Wilhelm never touched land and took
60 prisoners from various vessels de
stroyed. Most of these were sent to South
American ports at different times on
German ships, which met the raider in
response to wireless calls. The 61 now
on board, who will be landed here to
morrow, are British sailors from the j
steamships Tamar, destroyed March 25.
and Coleby, destroyed March 27 last.
Captarrd Brttlnh Guns Vsed.
The second of the raiders brought as
thrilling a story as did the Eitel Fried
rich. Her record of destruction, how
ever, was accomplished with only four
guns, two taken from the German
cruiser Karlsruue and two captured
later from the British merchant
steamer La Correntina. sunk October 7,
1914.
The most connected story of the long
voyage from New York 255 days in
all was told tonight by Over-Lieutenant
Alb Warneke, the first officer, who
left New York harbor with the ship.
"We left New York, August 3, and
put out Into the great big ocean," said
Lieutenant Warneke. "We were not a
warship then, but three days out. oft
the Bermudas, we met the German
cruiser Karlsruhe. We took from her
two 3-ineh guns, which we mounted
on the bow of the ship and took Lieutenant-Captain
Thierfelder, her navi
gating officer, to command our ship.
We also took 17 of the Karlsruhe's
junior officers and men, took on more
coal and provisions and put to sea.
Enemy Has Ne Ammunition.
'We made for the South Atlantic and
the first ship we encountered was the
British ship Indian Prince, which we
sank, September 4. 1914. From that
time on we remained on the ocean, de
stroying the enemy where we might
find her.
"I want to say that Sir Edward Grey,
the British Premier, has been kind to
us and that if Great Britain had been
organized as well as we were to patrol
the South Atlantic, we never could have
remained alive these many months. Sir
Edward Grey sent us those two big
guns on our afterdeck. He sent them
to us on the British La Correntina on
October 7. When ws got those four
Inch guns we felt pretty safe.
"La Correntina couldn"t use her guns
because she did not have any ammu

PRESIDENT WILSON
WILL VISIT WEST
SPEECHES OS TRIP . ARE DE
SIRED BY ADVISERS.
While Renomlnation Is Xot Doubted,
Friends Discourage Premature
Launching of Boom,
WASHINGTON. April 11. President
Wilson is planning to make his delayed
trip to the San Francisco Exposition as
soon as foreign affairs permit. His
advisers, it became known tonight,
strongly desire that he shall make sev
eral speeches in different parts of the
country before the opening of the next
session of Congress.
Just when the trip will be made still
is uncertain. Secretary Daniels wants
the President to go through the Pan
ama Canal with him in July, but there
has been no decision on this point and
the Western journey is expected to be
made later.
Friends of the President say the con
templated trip cannot be called I
"campaign tour," and they are pre
venting as far as possible the forma
tion of "Wilson clubs," to avoid even
the appearance of starting a boom.
Although the political advisers of Mr.
Wilson say privately that they have
no doubt that he will be renominated
It was indicated tonight that there will
be no formal launching of his candi
dacy, as such a step might embarrass
him in carrying out the policies of his
Administration. .
On the Western trip the President is
expected to explain the legislative pro
gramme he will lay before the next
session of Congress, including conser
vation bills, the Philippine bill, the Co
lombian and Nicaraguan treaties, bud
get reform and probably Senate cloture.
PRIZE COURT IS ORDERED
English Take Action on Xavajo's
Cargo Cnder Blockade Rule.
LONDON, April 11 The cargo of
cotton on the American steamship
Navajo from Galveston for Bremen
was ordered to a prize court today
under the order-in-council cutting off
all trade to and from Germany. This
is the first cargo avowedly detained
under this order. The Navajo has been
held at Kirkwall since April 7.
The Swedish steamship Bia, from
Savannah for Gothenburg with a cargo
of cotton, also is being held pending
an investigation of the destination of
her cargo. The vessel arrived at
Kirkwall March 30 and was taken to
Liverpool today.
The American steamer Joseph W.
Fordney from New York -for Malmo,
Sweden, with a cargo of foodstuffs, is
being held at Kirkwall to give the
authorities an opportunity to make an
investigation as to the destination or
her cargo.

in matters relating to public sanita
tion and the control of epidemics.
General Gorgas is wanted by the
Foundation particularly at this time
to direct the- campaign against the
typhus scourge which is devastating
Serbia. Whether he actually will go

GERMANY'S' NOTE TO
AMERICA IS SHARP
Real. Neutrality Held
Not Enforced.
TRADE WEAPON IS NEGLECTED
Protests to Britain Plainly
. Called "Complete Failure."
OTHER WAY POINTED OUT
'Purely Theoretical - Willingness'1
to, Serve Both Sides Alike Is
Scorned in Face of Neglect to
Apply Effective Pressure.
WASHINGTON, April 11. Count von
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador,
made public tonight the text of the
note he recently presented -to the State
Department, declaring that "if the
American people desire to observe thor
ough neutrality they will find means
to stop the exclusive exportation of
arms to one side, or, at least, to use
this export trade as a means to uphold
the legitimate trade with Gsrmany, es
pecially the trade In foodstuffs.
The memorandum was prepared at
the German embassy, and, while it does
not call for a reply, the State Depart
ment already has drafted one which
will be delivered probably within a
few days. - .
Theoretical Willingness Scorned.
The Ambassador, in his complaint,
informs the Untied States that, con
trary to tjie real spirit of neutrality,
an enormous new industry of war ma
terial of every kind is being built up
in this country, and that this is "sup
plying only Germany's enemies, a fact
which is in no way moditiea Dy tne
purely theoretical willingness to fur
nish Germany as well, if it were possi
ble." .
The text of the memorandum follows:
"The different British orders-in-coun-
cll have altered the universally recog
nized rules of international law in such
a one-sided manner that they arbitrarily
suppress the trade of neutral countries
with Germany.
Shipments Long Impossible.
Already prior to the last order-in-
council the shipment of conditional con
traband, especially loodstuffs. to Ger
many, was practically impossible. In
fact, prior to the - protest which the
American Government made in London
on December 28, 1914, not a single ship
ment of such goods for Germany has
been effected from the United States.
Also, after the lodging of the protest,
as far as is known to the German em
bassy, only one such shipment has been
attempted by an American shipper. Snip
and cargo were immediately seized by
the British and are still detained at a
British port. As a pretext for this un
warranted action, the British govern
ment referred to a decree of the Ger-

BY CAROLYN WILSON.
(Copyright, 1915, by the Chicago. Tribune,
Published by Arrangement.)
LONDON, March 23. England has
suddenly awakened to the fact that Bhe
is not a saving or au economical na
tion. .
I have never been in a country In the
world where there was such wholesale
waste as in Great Britain, even In those
far distant parts of chilly Scotland. But,
of course, with the seas open for trade
and imports, there has been no orry
about foodstuffs or ammunition.
Nor has this worry the slightest
thing to do with the "blockade" I
write it English fashion with quotation
marks. Since Kitchener's recent speech
the people have begun to realize that
they have not been producing what was
expected of them, while everything has
been going out.
' Poor Suffer More Tku la Germany,
The poor are suffering from a poverty
unknown and undreamed of in Ger
many. Bread lines are twice as long
and twice as frequent as they are there,
and prices are much higher.
This cry for economy first came into
being in connection with the training
camps and internment camps, where it
was found that thousands of pounds of
bread were wasted daily, and foods un
savorily cooked were thrown away. In
competent cooks were responsible or
the latter and too large a ration for
the former
Before the War there were master
cooks at Aldershot and other training
camps, but these have all gone to the
front. . Each day. from the statistics
furnished, an enormous amount of ex
cellent food is spoiled and consequent
ly wasted.
Food "Smuggling" Common.
Stories of "smuggling," to use the
soldiers' name for the selling of food
stuffs which he doesn't care to eat, are
rife. One woman on the east coast
got 12 pounds of ham for 65 cents and
said she could have had more if she
had been able to carry it home without
attracting attention.
At Shorncliffe day after day whole
loaves of bread and entire Joints of
meat are found in the refuse vans.
Officially they are eaten and the cooks

Sunday's War Moves
THK French offensive In the Woevre,
which according to official reports
from Paris continues to make progress,
ough the Germans reiterate that
S1 he French attacks have been re
pulsed, is believed to be only the pre
lude to a big general effort in the west.
With the two general staffs in di
rect conflict, it is difficult to gauge
the results of the fighting. Military
experts In London, however, express
the conviction that the Germans will
be compelled to send reinforcements to
strengthen the wedge which penetrates
o St. Mihiel and which is being at
tacked on. both flanks, and that as
soon as this movement begins, the
allies will strike at the point thus
weakened and perhaps at the whole
line.
Fig-hting to the north of Albert,
along the banks of the Ancre River,
was especially violent. It resulted
from an attempt by the Germans to
take the French trenches at Homel
and in the Thlepval wood. The attack
was carried out with determination
but according to the French official
statement, the Germans were repulsed.
Berlin reports the capture of three
villages on the Yser Canal and the
failure of French attacks in the Ar
gonne, but the French Bay they have
captured a section of a German trench
in that region. The French admit tha
loss of some trenches previously cap
tured from the Germans in the Mont
mare wood.
With the operations in this district
of France those in the Carpathians di
vide 'interest, which is being barely
satisfied with meager official reports
from the various headquarters.
The Russians, like the French, aP'
parently are making progress in the
capture of important points which are
essential before a general forward
movement can be undertaken. They
are in possession of the wholo princi
pal chain of the Carpathians and at
some points are descending the south
ern slopes and are approaching if they
are not already in the Uzsok Valley,
south of the pass of that name.
Fighting is going on under extreme
ly difficult conditions, the ground be
ing covered with snow, which is be
ginning to soften, while the Austro
Germans continue to bring up rein
forcements in an endeavor to check
the advance. The Russians appear to
have confidence in their ability to
handle the task, - for simultaneously
they are showing considerable activity
both on the East Prussian frontier,
where they assert success over the
Germans, and to the south of the Vis
tula, where the Germans say they have
repulsed a Russian attack.
The allied fleet, according to unof
ficial reports, has been bombarding
the Dardanelles forts from the Gulf of
Saros. .-This doubtless 'is being done
to prevent the Turks from repairing the
forts, for it is believed in London that
the big attack will not be resumed un
til the land forces arrive.
Unofficial reports also continue to
reach London regarding the gun firing
off the Norwegian coast on Wednesday
night last, concerning which the Brit
ish Admiralty as yet has mado nothing
public. The Scandinavian papers are
convinced that a sea battle has oc
curred, although they variously de
scribe it as a battle between British
and German cruisers and a chase by
British of German submarines.
The German auxiliary cruiser Kron
prinz Wilhelm, following the example
of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich, has slipped
into Newport News with the record of
having sunk 14 . vessels since last
August.
Count von Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador at Washington, has made
public the text of the note he recently
presented to the American State De
partmnt. In this note the Ambassador
points out that a great industry of war
materials of every kind is being built
up in the United States and says:
"If the American people desire to
observe true neutrality they will find a
means to stop the exclusive exportation
of arms to one side, or at least to use
this export trade as a means to uphold
the legitimate trade with Germany, es
pecially the trade in foodstuffs."

The loss is estimated at i75o,onn.
Two men employed in the building at
the time were injured.
Investigation developed no trace of

that might explode. The police thought
the explosion was caused by a bomb.
More than 200 men are reported in
the building on week days, but today
only two were at work. Both were
burned dangerously.
The building, valued at about 1100.-

and is a total loss. Company officials
estimated the value of the contents,
consisting of fresh meats, all of which
were charred and rendered unfit for
