GERMANS DEMAND
BLOOD OF BRITISH
TO AID BLOCKADE
Admiral Von Tirpitz Urged
to Slay Women and Chil
dren to Throttle Foe Ef
fectively. t.
BERLIN, Feb. 13.
While no ofllclal action has been taken
on" thoAmerlcan note of warning re
garding Gcrmany'a proposed blockade of
Great Britain, the feeling of bitterness
against tho United States and Britain Is
growing In intensity. It has reached
such a stage that Admiral von Tirpitz Is
called upon to sink shl'pa with British
women and children aboard, and then the
hlockado will bo felt.
'Ambassador Gerard held a lengthy con
ference with tho Foreign Minister.
Tho Deutsche Montags Zeltuns pub
lishes this open letter to Von Tirpitz:
As long as our blockade only de
stroys ships and goods it remains for
England a question of money. Ships
that are sunk are written off ns a
business expenditure, and tho tight Is
unequal because Britain puts In only
money, while we put in our good men.
Things will be different when Bit
ish passengers nre drowned. Per
sons acquainted with the psychology
of England know that the 'German
blockade will be effective only If It
. .costs the Uvea. of man j; English .women .,
nnd men.
The sentiment hore Is that America Is
to blame, If Its ships are sufferers, be
cause It appears to acquiesce in Great
Britain's declaration that foodstuffs, are
contraband.
Tho Deutsche Tagcszeltung scores the
American suggestion that German sub
marines .shall Investigate ihe identity of
ships flying neutral flags before sinking
them.
Tho very declaration of a war zone
Implies that no guarantee ot safety
within It Is possible. Why should sub
marines bo expected to trouble about
the Identity of ships nny more than
floating mines trouble?
If after Thursday next American
ships are sunk In British waters the
United States alone will be responsible.
In any case, the German Government
does not intend to allow Itself to be
Influenced by pressure or threats.
England's and America's disbelief In the
efficacy of the blockade has. greatly
angered Germany. Tho word "bluff" par
ticularly has annoyed the German Ad
miralty. ,
Herr Ersbcrger, writing on the block
ade, warns people not to assume that
Germany is bluffing. It will soon appear,
he says, that the menace Is made In great
earnest and that It Is being carried out In
tho moat effectual manner possible. No
obstacles will be raised against grain
transportation for the Belgian popula
tion or the devastated districts of Poland,
nor regarding the copper shipments of
America to Sweden. No Danish interests
will be violated. One thing certain Is
that alt American transports with wea
pons and ammunition will be ruthlessly
destroyed. Horr Ersberger Is certain
that the German Admiralty and merchant
marine are confident the Impending block
ade will be fully successful,.

Y.M.C..A. FILES SUITS
FOR FUNDS PLEDGED
IN CAMPAIGN OF 1911
Actions Will Be Brought
Against All Subscribers
Able to Pay $37,891
Still to Be Collected.
Two suits worn filed In tho Municipal
Court today by the Young Men's Chris
tian Association to. collect money pledged
to tho association In the Million Dollar
Campaign of 1911.
A total of J37.S91.07 of the money pledged
at that time remains unpaid, according
to a statemept Issued for tho ussoclatlon,
Jirul.suitajvill..be,brouj5llt.against.t(io sub
scribers, except In cases of actual inabil
ity to pay.
Tho defendants In the suits Just Insti
tuted are Frank S. Carlisle and Leon A.
Doughty, of the electrical engineering
firm of Carlisle & Doughty, nnd LouIj
Boss. Carlisle and Doughty, according to
the papers filed, pledged themselves to
pay $50 In four Instalments. Two Instal
ments were paid and tho Young Men's
Christian Association Is suing for $25 al
leged to be due.
In. tho Boss case (300 Is said to have
been pledged In four Instalments. Of
this amount It Is declared $375 Is still
due.
The suits raise the Interesting legal
point whether the pledges made by sub
scribers to the Million Dollar Campaign
will hold good In n court of law.
Boss Is trust ofilccr of thq Industrial
Title and Savings Fund Company. He Is
nn attorney, with oliices nt 717 Wnlnut
street. Mr. Boss lives at Dooner's Hotel.
The two cases In which action has been
taken are looked upon as test cases. There
are 3H3 subscribers who have not paid to
date, nccordlng to tho Y, M. C. A. state
ment, which says, In part:
"The association having made Ita ex
penditure upon the faith of tho payment
of all pledges, considers It to be Its duty
to the subscribers who have paid to com
pel the delinquent subscribers to pay ex
cept in cases of actual Inability.
"Before bringing suit In any case, a
number of letters were written by the as
sociation, Its legal committee, and finally
by counsel, to the delinquent subscribers.
Afterwards personal interviews were se
cured with the subscriber and an effort
made to persuade him to meet his obli
gations, and It was not until an investiga
tion in each case Indicated the financial
ability of the subscriber to pay that the
association has directed suit to t be
brought.
"The association realizes that among
the subscribers there may be persons
whose circumstances have changed since
signing the pledge and made It impossible
for them to keep It, and that In other
cases there are subscribers' whose gener
ous Impulses caused them to make sub
crlptions beyond their financial ability
to respond.
"It will be the potlcy of tho association
to Investigate each case before directing
Its counsel to take action, and where the
association has been satisfied In any case
that the subscriber Is not able to pay
tne subscription he will be permitted to
pay whenever he can do so, without dis
tress to himself or his family,"

In addition to the cost of the "soup,"

cents' worth ot wear and tear on the

For Ipstance. a false key was used on
a side door. Naturally, there was wear

necessary to make a hole In the top of

NEGRO HERE SAYS
HE LIED TO SEND
BECKER TO CHAIR
Makes Accusation About
Fixing of Testimony
Which District Attorney
in New York Emphati
cally Denies.
James Marshall, tho Negro witness
whoso testimony was the strongest link In
tho conviction of Charles Becker, the ox
pollce lieutenant of New York, now un
der sentence of death for the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, declared today that
his testimony was false. He implicated
Assistant District Attorney F. J. Groehl,
who, he said, instructed him as ,to the
evidence ho should give.
This Information was vouchsafed to a
reporter of the Bvenino Led'och after
Marshall was discharged by Magistrate
Brlggs, of the 20th nnd Federal streets
station, on a charge of beating lilsjvlfc.
Mnrtlu T. Manton, ot New York, Beck
er's chief counsel, was notified, and John
B. Johnson, associated with Mr. Manton,
left at once for this city to Investigate.
Ho arrived about 3 o'clock and Imme
diately went to the ofltco of Howard M.
Long, Philadelphia representative ot the
law Irm.
I. at or Marshall was found at tho South
street address. He was brought uptown
to Mr. Johiisbn and Mr. Ixing that he
had niado Clio statement attributed to
nim. ir. uonnson queawuiieu .uurauu-u
for almost nn hour. At the end of that
time ho announced that Marshall had ad
mitted tho truth of tho storyi Mr. John
son said Marshall had said that he had
been Intimidated by the Assistant District
Attorney and that tt was as a result of
this Intimidation that he hod so testi
fied. Mr. Johnson then took Marshall to Mr.
Lonc's law ofllce, where he eald, he would
have him muko a signed statement to this
effect.
It wasMr. Johnson's opinion that on the
strength of Marshall's story a new trial
for Becker could be obtained and the
convicted man saved from the clectrlo
chair nnd probably restored to liberty.
A telegrnm to Assistant District At
torney Groehl In New York elicited the
following response by wire:
"lteplylng to your telegram today, any
statement that any testimony given by
Marshall on the Becker trial was In
spired or suggested by me is false and
libelous."
The development may throw nn entirely
new factor In the nppeal which Becker
has made In his fight for life.
Later this afternoon Mr. Manton sent
the following telegram to this city In
reply to tho notification 'of Marshall's
statements:
"Marshall statement most astounding
and absolutely news to us here. It Is ot
the utmost Importance to the defendant
and the administration of Justice. Taking

GERMANS INSIST
U.S. OBTAINED FOOD
SHIP'S RELEASE
State Department Informed
That American Com
merce May Suffer by Re
taliatory Measures.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. The Govern
ment was advised this afternoon that an
unfavorable outcome of the Wilhelmlna
foodstuff case, now up to a British prize
court, will bring German retaliation
against Cngland, In which the United
States may BUffex commercially.
Ambassador von Bernstorft bore the
warning to Secretary of State Bryan and
Counsellor Lansing. While he refused to
discuss tho case for publication. It be
came known that he suggested that It
would be to the' United States' Interest
to seek favorable prize court nctlon with
a view to releasing tho Bteamshlp's food
stuffs bound for Germany.
Tho Department was told flatly that the
Kaiser would not stand for England's
plan to" Btarvo out Germany's civil popu
lation, and this Government was warned
that the world might expect the strong
est kind ot retaliation.
The Ambassador hinted, too, that
American commerce might be shut oft In
the course of this retaliation. He sug
gested thnt the United States ought not
to acquiesce In the Wilhelmlna "s seizure
nnd thnt this Government .should con--tlnue-ilnslstcnt'
orrHrs-ioslUon .against ali
lowing English' comfnettle. to hide behind
the American flag.
Tho seizure, he seld, was arbitrary, in
view of Gqrman' guarantees that Ameri
can food shipments would supply only the
Fatherland's civil population.
Great Britain, It is understood, was
charged with violating International law
In closing tho North Sen, and It tyas
hinted that Germany based Its proposed
retaliation partly on this and other al
leged violations.
Von Bernstorft declared thnt If tho Brit
ish prize court upheld the seizure of the
Wllhelmlnn's cargo, t such measures
would be taken at once as Germany found
most expedient to retaliate. Tho Am
bassador emphasized the statement that
such steps would operate against the In
terests bf the United States Government.
He nsserted further that to satisfy Eng
land thf German guarantees were bona
fldo nnd tho German Government was
willing thnt consular agents of the United
States should supervise the distribution
of tho cargo after It reached Us destina
tion.
