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.

Porter told the police. Miss de Jong
flourished a revolver and threatened

Porter said he did not believe she

Washington, Jan. 20. The late ad
miral of the navy, George Dewey, -was
today accorded the highest honors the
nation could pay Its dead. The presi
dent of the United States, members of
the United States supreme court, al
most the entire diplomatic corps, rank
ing admirals and generals of the navy
and army and lesser service officers,
most of the president's cabinet and
the house and senate gathered In' the
huge rotunda of the capltol building
for the Impressive public funeral serv
ices that were conducted with rigorous
man-o-war simplicity by the chaplain,
who saw Dewey conquer the Spanish

preceded the public formalities.
At noon the casket was borne Into
the rotunda and placed on the cata
falque which has held the remains of
Lincoln, Garfield and McKlnley.
Crowds Liu the Street.
As the service began two guns
boomed from the crowded plaza, about
which stood the entire midshipmen
corps from A.nna polls and all the avail
able regulars and sailors from nearby
torts and warships.
The casket was draped la American
flags and bore the dead admiral's
Bword, epaulets and cocked hat.
The 30-mlnute services In the rotunda,
concluded, the body was carried ,on an
army caisson through the crowd-lined
streets and beyond to 'Arlington.
There,, beside the towertngtift-.to4

an inch for each and every insertion Is

When that advertising is "straight com

There is a scarcity of rich milk or

sis.
Can Germany hold out economically?!
That question Is more than ever to
the fore now, that the reply of the
allies has once mor solidly united the
Gerrar.n peoples and "war to the hilt"
may be expected. It has been asked
of me more often than any other ques-
lion since my return 10 iew zora tne
end of December.
Without assuming to have the abil
ity to rend the veil that conceals the
future, my impressions, based upon
observations, are that Germany can
and will hold out through this winter
and spring, and after that will, so far
as food Is concerned, b in position to
hold out Indefinitely.
Eaa Investigated Conditions Closely.
I have criss-crossed Germany west
to east and north to south many times,
perhaps more often than any other for
eign correspondent In the war. Wheth
er riding on trains, on street cars. In
the .subway, in elevators or visiting
smaller towns, I have made It a point
to put questions about food.
After all it Is not the menus In the
Mg hotels, but what the working peo
ple have to eat which will decide the
al) Important question as to whether
or not uermany win r.oia out m tne
matter of food
Many times I have been told In an
swer to my inquiries that it was dif
ficult to obtain food, required much
hustling," but we manage to get
enough to get along on." usually was
the concluding phrase of the reply.
And the beat characteristic of the food
situation In Germany today is "get
enough to get along on."
In the main and simple food staples
there are no "special privileges." In
these rich and poor ahare alike, and
in that respect Germany Is today per
haps not only the most democratic but
also the most socialistic country in the
world.
"Taxnrls" Are Obtalnasla,
Only In things considered luxuries
has the man with money the benefit
of that money and an advantage over
the working man. But there are many

Bread, potatoes, fish, meats except
poultry, milk, butter, coffee, tea, sugar,
salt and legumes are 'necessaries.
Upon these "necessaries' the German
government has not only put a maxi
mum price above which these articles
may be sold unaer very severe penal
ties but the government also controls
the equal distribution by a "card sys
tem" which provide that all are
treated alike.
Bread, potatoes, fish, such butter a

much more than half the price they are

General Funs ton to Select Units
Comprising Between 15,000
and 20,000 Men.
Washington. Jan. 20. (U. P.) 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. This
mean before March. 1. if the calcu
lations are correct.
General Funston will notify the de
partment of the selections he makes,
but be may anounce them at San An
te nio before they reach here.
