WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Precautions
to safeguard naval stations. Army posts
and arsenals and other service prop
erty constituted the military measures
taken by the Government tonight fol
lowing the severance of diplomatic re
lations with Germany.
President Wilson conferred briefly
after his address to Congress with Sec.
retary Baker and Secretary Daniels.
The conference, it was said, had to do
entirely with precautionary steps, al
though the Secretaries also probably
gave some general information as to the
Nation's preparedness for war.
It was made clear that the Admin
istration had no desire to take warlike
measures unless forced to do so by some
Act of Germany.
White House Closed.
The following specific orders went
out during the day:
The White House and White House
rounds were closed to visitors for the
first time in many years.
All Navy-yards and stations were
closed to the public, only employes and
officers and enlisted men of the Navy
to be admitted until further notice.
Officers commanding Army posts, ar
senals, magazines and coast batteries
were directed to exercise every precau
tion. The State, War and- Navy building
was closed to visitors and cards of
identification were issued to employes
and press representatives entitled to
admission.
Publication of the dally ship-movement
list, giving the departures and
arrivals of naval vessels, was sus
pended. Secretary Daniels said there was no
change in the orders of the Atlantic
fleet. "The fleet will continue maneu
vers In the Guantanamo region," he
said.
Navy Well Prepared.
Measures of National preparedness
taken within the last two years make
It necessary for the War and Navy de
partments to do much work that other
wise would have to be begun immedi
ately. For the Navy, assured of all
merchant craft under the American flag
and of all pleasure craft and power
boats, has been virtually completed. Guns
ror the arming of merchant ships have
been assembled at the various Navy
yards with plans for the structural
work necessary for putting them aboard
already worked out. The availability
of each vessel so examined for some
particular part in a naval mobilization
has been determined.
For the Army and Navy both, an In
ventory of the munitions, resources and
plants of the country has been carried
well forward, each plant examined hav
ing been listed for its best use in pro
ducing war munitions. A textbook on
munitions has been printed and is about
ready for issuance.' From it private
manufacturers can learn quickly the
steps necessary for the conversion of
their plants to war uses.
The council of National defense cre
ated last year already has taken over
the co-ordination of industries for war
purposes and has worked out in part
Its general plans.
Army Increase Likely.
Without additional authority from
Congress, President Wilson can direct
that the regular Army be increased at
once to its full war strength of 2S6
000 men and the Navy to 87,000.
There Is in addition the National
Guard, now about 150,000 strong, and
the full strength of which, 440,000,.can
not be required under existing law
within four years. The regular Army
now numbers about 120.000, and would
not be recruited to full strength ex
cept on order of the President in an
emergency of threatened war.
So far as the fleet is concerned, of
ficials appeared to agree that its pres
ent situation was most desirable, even
if war is to come immediately.
It rests with the President what
Army policy is to be followed If war
comes.
The unanimous opinion of the Gen
eral Staff has been that in prospect of
war with a. first-class power 3,000,000
or more men would be trained.

NEW YORK. Feb. 3. After the an
nouncement today of a diplomatic
oreak with Germany, preparation for
possible eventualities were made by
every branch of the Government serv
ice. Under orders from the War and
Navy departments. guards were dou
bled all around the forts and coast
defenses which command the approach
to the port of New York. Similar pre
cautions were taken at the Navy-
yard and Governor's Island, headquar
ters of the Department of the East.
Major-General Leonard Wood, com
manding the Department of the East,
denied himself to all callers and pro
hibited his staff from making public
any information regarding the move
ments of units under his command
which covers 22 of the Eastern states
and the District of Columbia.
Major-General John F. O'Ryan. com
manding the National Guard of New
York, announced that the- militiamen
of the state "await orders from the
proper authority, which, when re
ceived, 'will be carried out.'
The Military Training Camps Asso
ciation, composed of 18,000 men trained
at the Federal camps, today offered
the President, through Its executive
committee, "the active co-operation of
our National machinery and organiza
tion for such use as you may direct,"
assuring him "loyal support for any
measures'" he might deem best "to up
hold the honor and interest of the Na
tion."
The offer was also made to submit
the names and addresses of "thousands
of men who stand ready for military
service in case of need." This commu
nication was signed by Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., D. K. Jay, Grenville
Clark, Percy II. Stewart and J. Lloyd
Derby.

out unconfirmed in any American offi
cial source, that President Wilson in
advising neutrals of his action in sever
ing diplomatic relations with Germany,
has invited other neutrals to follow his
course.
President Wilson's address to Con
gress today said he would expect neu
trals to follow his course if he found
it necessary to take further steps to
protect American rights.
Officials tonight did not make clear
whether the President expected the
neutrals to follow his example in the
steps already taken or whether he ex
pected them to follow the steps the
United States would take in the next
eventuality.
Some of the officials who were asked
to explain the uncertainty declined to
discuss the subject and others were in
clined to the belief that the President
hoped other neutrals would by severing
diplomatic relations make a combined
protest with the United States against
the latest war zone decree. The effect
of a united neutral protest, some off!
cials hoped, would have the. effect or

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. American
ambassadors, ministers and consular
representatives in England. France,

Greece, Egypt and Morocco were today
instructed by the State Department to
suspend all activities in relation to the
German interests which they have
taken over and to await information to
be conveyed .through some neutral
government as to whom Germany
wishes those interests entrusted.
Thus comes to an end the great hu

been doing in caring for German
prisoners in those countries, as well
as the practical task of handling Ger

WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. Offers to

others were received by the Navy De
partment today from virtually every

that the offers would be filed and ac

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Two hun
dred Americans, at least, protiably
more, have gono to their deaths
through German and Austrian submar
ine operations.
Most of the Americans lost were
traveling on unarmed merchant ships
and, under the practices of internation
al law and humanity, believed them
selves safe. More than 2000 citizens of
other nationalities lost their lives in
the name attacks but they compose
only a part of the toll of life taken by
submarine warfare.
The ships lost on which the Ameri
cans met death are only a fraction of
the number sent to the bottom by tor
pedoes, most of them without warning.
The cases which involve the United
States and Germany are primarily those
in. which American life was lost or en
dangered. The first American of whom
there is record to lose his life in sub
marine attack was Leon T. Thresher.

torpedoed and sunk March 27. 1915. off

hopeless attempt to escape, stopped, and
while boats were being lowered and

marine drove a torpedo into her side
andi she went down in 10 minutes. Of
persons, 136 were saved.

a crew of 702, she was torpedoed with
out warning and sank in 23 minutes
off Old Head of Kinsale as she was
nearing Liverpool. In all, 1198 lives
were lost, of which 124 were Americana
many of them men of national promi
nence.
Prearranged Plan Indicated.
Everything pointed to a prearranged
German plan to torpedo the ship. The
(merman Embassay had published ad
vertisements warning Americans in
veiled terms, and at the wharf a num.
ber of prominent Americans received
telegrams warning them not to sail.
It has been charged that the German
Ambassador himself knew the liner
was to be sunk and that German off!
cials here counted her progress across
the ocean day by day and as the hour
of her destruction drew near they
watched for the extra newspapers,
which they knew would announce her
destruction. The case passed into dip
lomatic negotiations, which never took
final form.
Before this case passed from the pub-
lie mind, a German submarine torpe
doed another American ship the Ne-
braskanwithout warning. May 25,
1915. south of Fastnet Rock. The Ne
braskan's name was painted on her
sides in letters six feet high, but her
American flag had been hauled down
at darkness, as is the custom at sea.
The Nebraskan reached port damaged
but under her own steam, and no one
was injured. The German government
again promised to pay damages.
20 Nesroes Among Victims.
Twenty American negro muleteers on
the Leyland liner Armenian were killed
June 28, 1915, by shell fire and drown
ing when the Armenian failed to es
cape from a submersible near the Corn
wall coast. The Armenian was warned
and invited her destruction by flight.
The next submarine attack in which
American lives were endangered was
unsuccessful, but only because the
t'unard liner Orduna was too speedy for
her pursuer. After sending a torpedo
just under the Orduna's stern, the sub
marine rained shells after the fleeing
liner without hitting her mark, and
then gave up the chase. - v
Three Americans -were endangered
when the Russian steamer Leo was tor
pedoed without warning on har way
from Philadelphia to Manchester. Eng
land. July 9. 1915. Fourteen, were lost,
but none was American.
On July 25. 1915, came the first de
struction of an American ship by a sub
marine. It was the Leelanaw. of New
York, bound from Archangel to Belfast
with flax, which is contraband. She
was caught northwest of the Orkney
Islands.
Sailing; Ship Frje Sank.
The American sailing ship William P.
Frye was' the first American vessel
sunk In the war, but she was destroyed
under different circumstances, which
are still under diplomatic negotiations,
and the Leelanaw became the first case
involving submarine operations. The
Leelanaw besides carrying contraband,
attempted to escape. The crew was
taken on board the submarine and safe
ly landed.
On August 19, 1915, came the cele
brated case of the Leyland litter Nico
slan and the British patrol boat Bara
long. The Nicoslan, with mules "from
New Orleans to Aconmouth, was stop
ped by a submarine off the coast of
Ireland and her crew, including 36
Americans, took to the boats. While
the submarine was making ready to
destroy the Nicoslan, the Baralong ap
peared and destroyed the submarine by
gunfire, took on the Nicosian's crew and
towed the ship to safety. The German
government charged, that many of the
submarine's crew were deliberately
murdered
Crisis Arises Over Arable.
The next crisis came on August 19,
1915. when the White Star liner
Arabic, from Liverpool to New York,
was torpedoed without warning near
the ' Lusitania's grave and sunk in
about ten minutes. Out of 375 passen
gers and crew, 48 were lost. Thirty
Americans were on board and all but
two were saved. The German govern
ment contended the submarine com
mander thought the Arabic was about
to ram him and fired in self-defense,
but disavowed the act, expressed re
gret and gave additional assurances
for the future safety of passenger
ships. One American of the crew of
the Allan liner "Hesperian was lost
September 4, 1915, when the ship, re
turning from Liverpool to Montreal,
was torpedoed and sunk without warn
ing off the southern coast of Ireland.
The German admiralty contended no
German submarine was in that vicin
ity, but a piece of a German torpedo
was picked up on the ship's deck.

BRITISH ARE SATISFIED
NEW DRAWBACKS ARE FEARED BY
OFFICIALS. HOWEVER.
Prisoners in Germany Left Without
American Influence and Belgian
Relief Work May End.
LONDON, Feb. 3. The American rup
ture with Germany has . created the
deepest impression here of any event
since the first war days of August,
1914. ' There were no crowds around
the newspaper offices, nor the exhibi
tion of excitement as in those days,
because the public has been hardened
to sensational events. But the general
feeling is one of satisfaction mixed
with a considerable measure of sur
prise.
- British officials recognize that the
new situation brings drawbacks, as
well as advantages, to British inter
ests. Great anxiety is felt for the
welfare of entente prisoners in Ger
many, who are now deprived of the
assistance and measures of guardian
ship which the American consular serv
ice and embassy have been able to ren
der, as doubts are felt whether the
other neutral establishments will be
able to do as. much for the Interned
civilians and military prisoners.
Belgian relief work Is faced with the
greatest danger, as the withdrawal of
the American commission may result
in its complete collapse and bring hun
dreds of thousands face to face with
starvation.
The universal feeling here is that the
United States will inevitably be forced
into war and the part which they will
be able to play therein is the chief
topic of discussion, coupled with spec
ulation as to its effect upon the supply
of munitions to Europe.
The news of the sinking of the
American steamer Housatonic, as well
as the contents of the President's ad
dress, came too late for the evening
papers, but wherever the sinking of
the American vessel was known it was
assumed that it would go far toward
precipitating war. The new German
campaign of unrestricted submarine
warfare is regarded iere with com
posure. On the other hand, the with
drawal of the shipping of Scandinavia.
Holland and Spain from traffic with
England is recognized as a serious fac
tor. The public, however, looks con
fidently to the Admiralty to speed up
its anti-submarine measures, while it
is expected that the German ships in
American ports will soon reinforce At

as senior officer in the reserve.
Colonel Gantenbeln probably would be
the first chosen to head a regiment in
case of hostilities which demanded
new army. The 140,000 regulars would
be called out first, the 100,000 National
Guardsmen second. Of the regulars.
about 6000 are officers, and of the
Guardsmen about 4000.
The reserve corps of officers contains
about 1300 men, which would be
small fraction of the number necessary
to orticer an army of 1.000,000 men.
There would be required about 50.000
officers for an army of that size, it is
estimated.
Colonel Gantenbeln organized a vol
unteer Oregon regiment in which the
enlistment proffers totaled 1162 when
war with Mexico seemed imminent.
These men volunteered for two years
or war, it necessary, and their appli
cations are still with Colonel Gan
