"Reported Presence of Three Americans Among Prison ers of War Taken by Ger man Raider Causes Anxiety OLD ARMED SHIP BOGEY ARISES FROM SITUATION Formal Inquiries Are to Be Made if Information Is Not Volunteered. Three American oa Board. New York. Jan. 20. (U. P.) Three Americans may be IK among the prisoners aboard the Pag Hi steamer Yarrowdale, now offlc- 4t tally stated to have arrived at Swlnemunde a a German prize, It according: to the British con- aulate here today. The latest t records show D. A. Adlson. Brooklyn; C. D. Green. New York, and Charles Qulnn, Los Angeles, as Included In the ! crew of the Yarrowdale. The manifest of the Yarrow- dais shows she carried a cargo valued at more- than $1,000,000. It Included more than 6000 cases of cartridges, motor- -J trucks. 3000 tons of steel, auto- -. I mobile parts, several thousand j rolls of barbed wire, copper wire, agricultural Implements, l traction engines and other ma- j 4 chlnery or parts. The Yarrow- - dale sailed from New York early In December. . Dy Robert J. Bender. Washington. Jan. 20. (U. P.) The United 8tates government faces a new and difficult International proDiem with Germany as a result of reports that three Americans hav been cap turfed as prisoners of war y the German raider operating In South American waters. Indications of anxiety were reflect ed when It was officially admitted to night that If atrmany does not voiurt tr Information on the question with In the next (two .days. , thlsovemment win immediately mane iormai mqutr' les of that government. The state department tonight, how evex "expressed belief that German : consular and diplomatic representa tives would immediately clear up re- 1 orts that three Americans are among l.risoners aboard the steamer Yarraw dale, which arrived at Swlnemunde as r German prize. Xeutrals Presence Admitted. Germany has officially admitted that among the crews of the vessels captured by her raiders are 1Q3 sub- jects of neutral countries. She claims these have been removed "as prisoners of war," because they had "taken pay on armed enemy vessels." In the only official statement thus far issued, however, Germany does not btnte whether any of the neutrals taken are Americans. Out of the threatened difficulties, however, arises the old armed ship bogey, which continues to haunt the diplomatic files of the department of state. "What constitutes an armed ship is still a mooted question between the I'nited States and Germany and the United States and England. Question Hot Yet Settled. If these vessels on which Americans may have been employed were armed unquestionably for offensive purposes, lids government would have no case against Germany. If the ships, how ever, were armed defensively, there would be the old question of what constituted defensive armament, a point upon which the belligerents and thU, government are about as far apart as ever. There arises, in connection with the threatened new development, vast con jecture on how much longer the pa tience of President Wilson will hold cut in his negotiations with Germany regarding the rights of neutrals. He 1 us said repeatedly ;that the position of this government was getting almost intolerable. It was ti.ls situation that prompted Ms recent appeal to belligerents to state the objects for which they con tinue lighting. After the note was seat. Secretary of State Lansing ad nutted this country was drawing " hearer and nearer" to the "verge of war. For a time this "verge of war" statement was sidetracked by the . peaceful Interpretation generally placed upon the message, but the same interpretation aros0 in the sen ute When Lewis, of Illinois, a promi nent administration man. broadly de clared that this nation must Inevitably be -drawn Into the war If the struggle continues.

Be tween 15.000 and 20,000 militiamen have been ordered heme from the bor der. The particular unit to comprise the number are now being selected by General Funston. Secretary of War Baker announced this fact late this afternoon, but de clined to reveal the plans for with drawal of General Pershing's column IrORi Mexico. The militia retirement, bringing tha total National Guard's strength at the border down to about 66,000, however. Is a preliminary to Pershing's with drawal. Other militia undoubtedly will be moved homeward as soon as Pershing's movement is accomplished and transportation Is available. The secretary waa unaware exactly how many men are Involved In the new move but he estimated there would be from 15.000 to 20,000. This number Is about ltOD leas than the Pershing body. Announcement of orders for Persh log to move north is expected within the next two or three days, . inas much as all Is in readiness for the men to return to the border. As plans stand, the war department expects to return all the militiamen at the earliest possible time compati ble with adequate transportation.
