BY FRENCH CRUISER, IS gfsJT' TAKEN TO BREST; I'-w-ii if #EW ISSUES ARE INVOLVED titfting off Responsibility by Britain Adds to Complication*--Washing­ ton Interested In Vessel Held by Al­ lies--Craft Owned by E. N. Breitung. Paris, March 2.--A French cruiser lias arrested the American steamer jbacia in the channel and taken her to Brest. This announcement is official­ ly made. Washington, March 2.--Officials here were tremendously interested to learn Ihat the American cotton steamer Da- ela, formerly of the Hamburg-Ameri- <$ui line, flying the German flag, had Been seized by a French cruiser and taken to Brest. The capture of the tlacia causes no surprise in Washing­ ton, anid eves the fact that a French ifcstead of an English warship would - take her into custody had been fore- Seen. But this transfer of the ques­ tion of the ship's status combined with .the already intricate points in the Da- da transfer from German to American registry bids fair to make an interna­ tional case of unusual interest. Edward N. Breitung, an American, bought the Dacia from the Hamburg- American company, secured American registry, replaced the German crew and undertook to lay down a cargo of cotton in the German port of Bremen. The German dfesination of the Dacia on her first voyage under American registry aroused British fears lest American registry be used simply as a shield to permit the ship to reach a German port, where she would resume her discarded nationality. To meet this objection Mr. Breitung changed his routing to the Dutch port of Rot­ terdam. 280 LIVES ARE LOSTfv^l^PSB OPENING OF PANAMA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION • ; " -?Jy. X - I .

Boat Said to Have Been Wrecked Dur­ ing Storm, but It May Have Been Torpedoed. London, Feb. 26.--The German sub­ marine blockade about the British isles has been drawn closer. The gov­ ernment is preparing to take the most drastic measures against the Teutons, and in furtherance of this scheme Lord Charles Beresford will propose to Premier Asquith in par­ liament that all Germans caught sink­ ing undefended vessels without an at­ tempt at rescue be publicly hanged as pirates if they are chpturfed: News cornea from Amsterdam that the Dutch government has seized the merchant ship Hanna following dis­ covery of 3,000 pounds of copper hid­ den in her hold, which, it was charged, was to be smuggled into Germany. The Dutch also are considering calling to arms the men of the 1915 class to combat any possible attempt to vio­ late Holland's neutrality. Several more vessels have fallen victim to the German raiders--one of them an armed merchantman, the Clan MacNsughton, with which 280 men went down. The British admiralty announced on Wednesday that the Clan Mac­ Naughton, an armed cruiser, has been missing since February 3, and it is feared has been lost. The vessel was under the comamnd of Robert Jeffrys. The Clan MacNaughton carried 20 officers and a crew of 261 men. Wreckage believed to be part of the missing vessel has been found. The admiralty states that the Clan? MacNaughton is believed to have been lost as the result of a storm that raged on February 3, but It is possi­ ble that she was sunk by a German1 submarine. The steamship Rio Parana, laden with coal, was sunk seven miles east of the pier at Eastbourne, England. There is little doubt that the loss was due to a German submarine. The Rio Parana's crew of 21 men were rescued by another steamer and taken into New Haven. The other vessels reported lost are British transport No. 192, sunk in English channel, according to official announcement in Berlin. British steamer Oakby, sunk by sub­ marine in channel.

The embargo will also be es> tended to raw materials. This action was taken by the British government in retaliation for Ger­ manysubmarine warfare against English merchant ships. England will now try to starve Ger­ many into submission. It ia believed that tfco embargo of the British gov­ ernment upon foodstuffs and raw ma­ terials will Increase the activities of the German submarine in the "bqpad war" against England. In making the momentous announcement, Premier Asquith said: "There is no form of economic pres­ sure which we do not consider our­ selves "entitled to assert under exist­ ing conditions." Premier Asquith, in speaking of Ger­ many's submarine war, declared: "Germany has taken a step without precedence in organizing a campaign of piracy and pillage. "This is not the time to talk peace. Those who do so are the victims of self-delusion. The allies will never sheath the sword till all objects wherefore they have gone to war have been achieved." Washington, March 3.--The sub* stance of the British and French notes is contained in the following statement given out by the state department on Monday: "Germany has declared that the English channel, the north and west coasts of France and waters around the British Isles are a war area and has officially notified that all enemy ships found in that area will be de­ stroyed and that neutral ships may be exposed to danger. This is, in ef­ fect, a claim to the right to torpedo at sight, without regard to the safety of the crew or passengers, any merchant vessels under any flag. As it is not In the power of the German admiralty to maintain any Surface craft in these waters, this attack can only be deliv­ ered by a submarine agency. "The law and custom of nations in regard to attacks on commerce have always presumed that the first duty of the captor of a merchant vessel is to bring it before a prize court, where it may be tried, where the regularity of the capture may be challenged and where neutrals may recover their car­ goes. The sinking of prizes is in itself an inadequable act to be resorted to only in extraordinary circumstances and after provision has been made for the safety of all the crew or pas­ sengers. "If there are passengers on board the responsibility for discriminating between neutral and enemy vessels and between neutral and enemy cargo, obviously rests with the attacking ship, whose duty it is to verify the status and character of the- vessel and cargo and to preserve all papers before sinking or even capturing it. "It is upon this basis that all pre­ vious discussions of the law for regu­ lating warfare at Bea have proceeded. A German submarine, however, ful­ fills none of the obligations: she en­ joys no local command of the waters in which she operates; she does not take her captures within the jurisdic­ tion of a prize court; she carries no prize crew which she can put on board a prize. "The German declaration substi­ tutes indiscriminate destruction for regulated capture. Germany is adopt­ ing these methods against peaceful trader* and noncombatant crews with the avowed object of preventing com­ modities of all kinds, including food for the civil population, from reach­ ing or leaving the British Isles or northern France. "Her opponents are therefore driven to frame retaliatory measures in or­ der in their turn to prevent commod­ ities of any kind from reaching or leaving Germany. These measures will, however, be enforced by the Brit­ ish and French governments without risk to neutral ships or to neutral or noncombatant life and in strict observ­ ance of the dictates of humanity. The British and French governments will therefore hold themselves free to de­ tain and to take into port ships carry­ ing goods of presumed enemy destina­ tion, ownership or origin."
