at the vard ester dav and a special detail under the com mand of naval officers patrolled the en trance VariousCottrses Open if War Comes protecting Commerce Is First Task Japans Policy Might Be Followed trnd Activities Confined to Defense of National Interests Question of Joining Allies to Be Decided Troops May Be Sent to France What part would the United States play In the European war should Germany by an overt actplunge this nation Into the great struggle This Is the mental query being puzzled over by nearly every American today it is the question on tips of tongues In all foreign lands The answer purely conjectural would depend largely on the kind of war In which this nation would engage and on the relations It would assume toward the countries already involved in strife Protection of Commerce First President ilson in his addresvSat urday announced that It Germany should sacrifice American ships or American lives In contravention of international law I shall take the liberty of coming again before the Congress to ask that authority be given me to use any means that may be necessary for the protection of our seamen and our people In the prosecution of their peaceful and legitimate errands on the high seas A number of legislators and army and naval officers Interpret this utterance of the President to mean that in case of such a violation as he had in mind he would ask merely for authority to patroLAhe seas and protect from submarine attacks In the zone prescribed by Germany such American ships as might desire to enter those zones This they saj would confine the war if It against Germany by continuing to extend credit to the allies by supplying them with munitions and foodstuffs and by assistlngln keeping the lanes of travel on the high seas open France Needs Assistance Other military men however point out that France has suffered great losses in men and It the drive against the German western front is to be continued must be assisted They recommend that the United States Immediately provide for compulsory training establish training camps and instruct I 2000000 men with a view to putting as large a number as possible into France within from three to six months to eupport a final effort to break the German front Such a move however would make necessary a coalition with the Allies as the United States would have to dv pend upon Great Britain to transport Its troops being practically without afiy army transports No Fear of Invasion Naval officers suggest that Germany may extend its submarine campaign to the Gulf of Mexico with a view to cutting off Great Britains oil supply from Mexico and thus seriously crippling British naval power These men suggest that the United States could play an Important part in protecting the Gulf from being made a scene of German submarine activity Few military or naval men seem to fear invasion from Germany They call might be called such to naval activity I attention to the fact that Germany to I of a purely defensive character It I might be turned however they add to offense should Germany center her sub 1 American navies It would be Quite land an Invading army would first have to clear the seas of both British arid marine campaign upon American shipping Must Decide Whether to Aid Allies Should America engage in war with Germanv what relationship will that war have to the war being waged upon Teutonic powers by the allies and what form would the aid of the United States take should she join the entente powers Is another question receiving wide consideration The fact that President Wilson has invited or rather urged all other neutrals to follow thecourse at the United States toward Germany leads men well Informed on the many phases of the situation confronting the country to the belief that America If It becomes Involved with German will assume an attitude similar to that of Japan Might rollovr Japans Policy A state of ar actually exists between Japan andthe central powers but since the taking of Kiauchau China from Gerraam and the sweeping of all German ships from eastern waters Japan has restricted Its active participation in the war to safeguarding Its commerce It has not placed Its military forces at the disposal of anv of the European nations Its chief assistance has been providing munitions and armament to the Russian government Since the United States Is not concerned with manyof the political ques tionsthat Involve the European nations such as the status of Constantinople and the disposition of territory many American leaders military and civil contend that this country can best serve possible however for a submarine to shell seacoaBt towns or to strew mines at the entrances to American ports America principal feature of preparedness these authorities assert Is its industrial development Since the war In Europe began manufacturers In this country they say have gained an experience and developed facilities through filling foreign contracts which would enable them to turn out munitions practically as fast as the government could enlist men to use them Allies Fear Embargo on Munitions Eptente diplomats here frankly express their hope that the United States will not actually enter the war Several of the allies representatives let It be known yesterday that they entertained a growing fear that Germany deliberately precipitated a break with this country In order to hold American munitions and supplies here thus cutting off Imports to the entente probably more effectively than any single step that the central powers could take Immensely gratified over the break with Germany and the moral conditions thereby Implied the diplomats here seem surprised at the energy which the American government has shown in laying out Its plans for eventualities and do not conceal their fear that military precautions may force the United States to keep at home at least a considerable part of supplies now going abroad Such an outcome they say would more than compensate for a mere break In relations from the German viewpoint More Legislators Pledge Their Support to the President in Crisis Providence Feb 6 The senate today approved President Wilsons course In dealing with Germany and offered its support In all measures necessary to maintain the freedom of the seas and the honorand dignity of our nation Columbus Ohio Feb 6 The

travel through Germany a blockade zone is being given earnest consideration but as yet no decision has been reached No Ruling for Shipping The subject Is stated to be complex beyond almost any other that the State Department has handled and It Undeclared impossible to give the Immediate ruling asked for by American shippers For the present the department Is standing on its original announcement to shippers that while sailing now is attended with danger both to themselves and the country they have an inalienable right to go out If they so desire Spanish Ambassador RIano who conferred with State Department officials vesterday said he had advices that Spain answer to the German notification would be made public soon but that he did not know Its contents He Intimated it was doubtful if Spain would formally reply to President Wilson note to neutrals as her taking over of American Interests Jn Germany indicated that no matter how seriously she might protest Germanys action she would not as yet sever diplomatic relations Best Equipped Intermediary Spain is the largest neutral now absolutely free from entanglement In the world war and is by far the best equipped diplomatically to serve as an Intermediary between the belligerent groups The practical certainty that an American break with Austria also cannot be avoided makes It more desirable than ever that Spain should remain

TO CTJEB JUNK MEN CALLS POOLROOM SCHOOL OF CRIME Laskey Urges Law to Bar All Minors in Address to Citizens Body John Laskey United States Attor ney for the District Umtoilght advo cated a more rigid regulation cfp rooms of the city In an address be for the Columbia Heights Citizens Association In Postofflce Hall Fourteenth street and Park road Speaking on Proposed Legislation he said There Is a crying need In this city for better regulation of these places There should be a law similar to the excise law prohibiting minors frequenting poolrooms They make tor evil and are the meeting places of those steeped In crime The young men of this city should be compelled to spend their time to better advantage than In these places which are known to be frequented by handbook men They contaminate the youths who assemble there who hear things of a vicious character which they should not hear and are the medium of exchanges for vicious experiences Mr Laskey illustrated his remark with examples which have come to his attention as prosecutor I don say that all poolrooms are bad said Mr Laskey but most of them are and are not fit place for boys to go to for amusement There should be some legislation whereby young men under 21 should be prohibited to enter them like the present law barring minors from saloons Mr Laskey also explained the bad check law now before Congress which has been advocated by the Retail Merchants Association Dr Foote Introduced a resolution which was adopted for legislation excluding minors from the publle poolrooms of the District Recommendations by a special committee
