satisfy all reasonable and patriotic Americans.Beneath the surface there is a strong undercnrrent of discussion of rarlous possible means of avoiding an including suggestions that a onference of neutrals be called.There are no indications, howeve.that the President contemplates ary such move.; À cabinet meeting will be he!! tomorrow, and ac that time the entire situation will be canvassed.In addi tion to the ofücial reports reaching the State Denartment, members of the cabinet receiving word on the economie effects of \u2018the tying \u2018up\u2019 of shipping in \u2018American -ports probaliiy fF will presert* wkatever \u2018news they have.The work of clearing Americars out of Germany is going on.The advisability of the withdrawal by the International Young Men's Christian Association of its twenty or more American reprecentatives who have teen working among the prison camps in Germany was discussed today at a conference between State Department officials ar4 Dr.John R Mott, international secretary.While it was agreed that the n.en must he > withdrawn in rase of actual war n° decision was reached as to their immediate recall.Îf Germany shout herself forre v«hdrawal under conditions short of war.it is feared that the Allied p~vernments would requir: the fifty oid Americans working among German prisoners in their countries to cease their activities.U.8 Seamen Released.Berlin.Feb.15, via London, Feb.186.\u2014(Bultetisx)\u2014The American seamen who w:re brought prisoners tu Germany on board the British steam er Yarrowdale, have been liberated.The British steamer Yarrowdalwas one of the vessels captured by a German raider in the South Atlanti: tome time ago.With an armed prize crew shoard the steamer was takea into a German harbor Dec.31.She kad 46% prisoners on board, among were 73 Americans, according to an announcement made some time ago Ly the German Foreign Secretary.It was stated that these men were tn be interned as prisoners, having been captured on ar armed vessel.Early in the present month\u2014 the day of the severing of diplomatic re- iations with Germany\u2014the Unite} States government demanded the release of the Americans.The follow mg dey it was announced that Germany had acceded to the American demand.Lat-r it was announced from Washington that the men were being held in Germany until assurances had heen received from th: United States as to the safe departure of Count von Bernstorf and the Ger man consuls and the safety of German war hound ships in American waters, AS SUPPLIED TOH M THE KING SCHWEPPES ENGLISH TABLE WATERS SODA WATER DRY GINGER ALE SARSAPARILLA GINGER BEER, Etc, Etc.OPERATIONS MOSTLY CARRIED ON BY SMALL RAIDING AND RECONNOITRING PARTIES AS WELL AS BY ARTILLERY-\u2014ONLY THREE BRITISH VESSELS SUNK IN PAST TWENTY-FOUR HOURS\u2014VIOLENT ARTILLERY DUES IN THE SOMME AND YPRES SECTORS.While fighting is going on in ail the principel of the war, in .For the raiding and re- none of them has there occurred a battle of great most part the operations are being carried out by connoitring parties and by the artillerists of both D of beiligerents.There has besn considerable asrial activity on the Eh frent in France \u2014bomb dropping exploits and fights in the air.In dibge latcer engage ments both the Entente and the Germans have lost ake} During the past twenty-four hours thres British have besm sent to the bottom by submarines\u2014the steamers 9,760 tons, Margarita, 876 tons, and Ferga, a new ship, the tonnage of is not contained in available shipping records.For the first time in several days the British Wi Office reporu no gain for the troops of King George figheing in F although 3 small salding party near Queudecourt, in the Somme region, a German position and brought back several prisoners.N ot Ypres the Germans succeeded in reaching a British post, but .were driven off with losses.} Artillery dusis of violence have been in progress Ji the Somme and Ypres sectors and in the region of Verdun on the of Le Maisons De Champagne, Haudaumont and Vaux, and in Lorraine In Galicia, north of the Tarnapol-Zlochoff railroad, the Germans entered Russian trenches on a front of one hundred yards snd captured si:} officers and 275 men.Tunnels the Russians were pushing beneath the German trenches were destroyed by the Germans.Petrograd admits an, sttack by the Germans in this region, but says to the last reports the battle was still in progrese.To the north idfVolhynia surprise attacks by the Germans against the Russians met with!

of the British fleet.In some respecis {the Germans exhibited a singulariy | accurate grasp of strategical considerations.But they Fave never unde- | stood the unique character of th: | British Empire or the innate politics! sense of its leaders of public opinion.The spectacle which confronts th: {world today is one which has no par- \"allel.The whole Empire confides its faith in fhe fleet.The dominions hav: stripped themselves of their organiz- led military power and transferred i* | ° to European battlefields.There is nr !a dominion today possessing morr than an apology for an army.Sine~ the war opened they have put the\u2019: confidence in the British fleet, an} Îtet this point be noticed.in the Briish fleet concentrated in the North \u2018Sea.In one sense.and certainly ir accordance with the pre-war opinion held by the Germans.they stand defenceless: but.in another and true: sense.they are hettcr protected toda: {than at any time since the British | Empire came into existence.The fact that the Prime Ministers of Canada.Australia, New Zealand.South Af rica.and Newfoundiand have before | them invitations t5 join the War Council is proof not merely of the | security which the British Empire now enjoys.but ef the extent t.grasped the great strategical prinui- { ple involved in the concentration \u2018of naval power in the North Ses.Huw jare these representatives of the over- ses Empire to reach the mother conn try at a moment when the world is ir the crucible and Germany points to her victims?They must come by sea.iIn that fact and in the knowledg» that they can come by sea lies the | reply which the Allies will in du: course make to the German peace\u201d nropossl.apart from the growing | power which their armies are acquir- | nig owing to our command of the sea.souuooocou0oso \u2019 a PRESS COMMENT.?CUOBUOOVOTOCBOO Although a member of the ernment, Hon.A.FE.Kempwithout portfolio until Sir Hughes left the Cabinet.Never: theless, Mr.Kem was from the outset of the war busily engaged ia important work, and his long e any there was no intention te : serve him lemonade.but simply t>! heap scorn upon him and his pris | ciples while he lay helpless upon hs | cot.Were not the very life of th: Empire at stake Canada should n-* ! permit her sons to he placed in circumstances of such temptation and insult.Now.in the first place.the implied suggestion that the noble-minde!.patriotieally-inspireé lads who enlis- ! ed were only kept from falling | into temptation ru drink becsu:z | they were tied tn their mother\";
