Negro Sailor Killed on Turino Not American Citizen.
Britain Grows in Wrath and Sees Reason in
Each Act by Berlin Government
for U. S. War
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 9. Before launching her ruthless subma
rine warfare Germany sounded the European neutral States and
made sure that they would not break with her, according to an inter
view with the Hungarian Premier, Count Tisza, in the Vossische
Zeitung today.
PARIS, Feb. 9. The Petit Parisien today printed a Madrid dis
patch saying that Germany had granted a further delay of forty
hours in her submarine warfare to allow neutral ships at sea to
regain neutral ports.
American patience with Germany's ruthless U-boat warfare
will be stretched up to the breaking point to avoid war. This was
the President's attitude as his Cabinet met with him today.
Only an "overt act" or cumulative indignities will force the
issue.
Thus far, even in the sinking of the California and Turino,
the shelling of lifeboats of the Eavestone and the detention of Am
bassador Gerard, there has been no overt act.
But they all are indignities, more or less, and even yet may
constitute the beginning of the accumulation that will force war.
The sinking of each steamship at first appeal's a casus belli.
But full reports have changed the aspect of the situation.
Great Britain, naturally, sees in amost every German act cause
for war and scarcely understands American hesitancy.
CONTINUED INDIGNITIES
MAY FORCE WAR ISSUE
, WASHINGTON'. Feb. 9.
Outright Illegal sinking of an American
hip, with nn accompanying loss of Ameri
can lives, or a formidable accumulation of
affronts to this nation will be the only
ythlngs -to bring President Wilson to the
point of war. '
. No case thus far, It Is said, presents an
ettt-and.out violation of A.merlcan rights,
although sacrifice of lives to date appar
ently shows Germany's Intent to go the
whole way In her gubmarlnlngs.
This was the situation ns the Cabinet
fathered today.
Members of Wilson's official advisory
body were expected to approve his attitude.
And this attitude. It was said, was forrqed
upon public opinion ns reflected In Wh(te
House messages. Moreover, evidence ac
cumulated constantly showing that Ameri
can rights hae not been Infringed, at least
not more than technically.
The Turino case, at first apparently In
volving loss of. an American negro's life,
now appears to develop Into sacrifice of a
life not an American,
The supposed American negro, George
Washington", who lost his life on the tor
pedoed steamer Turino, was a British sub
ject, Consul Wesley Frost, at Queenstown,
cabled the State Department today, He
was born In Alberta, Canada, and was never
naturalized In the United States. No Ameri
cans were lost on this ship.
Officials pointed to tho fact that, despite
the surface appearances of tho Housatonlc,
the Eavestone, the California and then
the Turino sinkings, which at first looked
a black, they have not developed the
"overt act," .
- As for the Gerard detention, officials say
It was no more than technical delay In
Issuing passports. Some officials believe
that, while Germany wants the 1828 Prus
sian treaty to remain In force, her action
toward Gerard has violated It. They Insist,
however, In not taking the Gerard delay
as serious.
But with such nn Incident, plus the
California case, where women and children
were Involved, authorities see the possi
bility of a clear-cut "overt act" or accumu
lation of Indignities which will force the
President to go before Congress, as he

Retail grocers boost price of re
fined sugar its supply nears exhaus
tion; refined sugar retailing today
for ten and twelve cents a pound.
Predicted that prico will go to
twenty cents within n week. Whole
sale price remains tho the same.
Wholesale price of raw sugar
makes radical advance, although
market is glutted by stoppage of
foreign exports and by closing of
refineries. Refiners here charge
that Cubnn sugar firm in New York
has cornered the market and boosted
the price.
The famine In refined sugar, which began
last Monday with the closing of all Phila
delphia refineries because nf a strike of
moro than 2000 workeis, became more
serious today, when more than 1000 stce
dores nnd Inngshoienien went on n sym
pathetic strike, thereby stopping the Influx
of raw sugar.
The strike of the steiedores and long
shoremen has added greatly to the help
lessness of the refiners. SI ships and sev
eral lighters are In pott with big cargoer
of sugar, nnd unless tho strike Is settled
ipilckly the demurrage losses on these es
sels will aggregate JCOOO. The strike of the
sugar workers and stevedores Is being di
rected by tho lndustilal Workers of tho
World.
A representative of the Pennsylvania"!
Sugar Company said today:
"The Btrlko of tho stevedores and long
shoremen will affect the refiners very seri
ously. It means that we cannot get any
raw sugar; Wo knew that the stevedore!
nnd longshoremen were going out. but could
do nothing to Btop It. It Is purely a sym
pathetic strike; the stevedores are not look

lighters which have not been unloaded,"
A representative of the W, J, McCahan
Refining Company said;
"I Bhould Judge that about 1000 men
went out today. It means a great loss
In demurrage for the refiners and means
that we will get no mora raw sugar until
the strike Is settled.
