A number of persons, who had engaged passage for Europe on ships of the American line showed their readiness to brave the dangers of the submarine zone by can celling their reservations to-day and booking on ships flying the flags of belligerent nations. Some of them took passage on the French liner Es pagne, which sails on Sunday for Bor deaux and a few engaged cabins on the White Star liner Lapland, which will sail for Liverpool on Tuesday or Wednesday. There are now only about fortv first cabin passengers left on the St. Louis of the American line, but it is predict ed that more will be booked as soon as the line decides tb send her out. The sixty second class and twenty third class passengers are standing by the St. Louis because rost of them have little money and a majority of cases their hotel bills are being paid by the steamship company. Ryiidam Given Warning A wireless message from a passen ger on the Holland-American line steamship Kyndani. given out here, contained information that the liner which sailed from New York for Tlo;- lerdam January 29 and turned back within a few hours of Falmouth, was warned by a German submarine to turn about just before entering the war zone. In this case it is believed that the captain of the Ryndam acted on his own initiative for the safety of his ship and passengers. The American liner Kroonland is due here late to-day, but on account of the bad weather she may not ar rive until to-morrow. Word of the arrival of the steamship Baltic at Liverpool is awaited at the office of the International Mercantile Marine. She was due there on Wed nesday, but may have taken a souther, ly and longer course. The only American vessel to clear here for a European port since last Saturday Is the Orleans, owned by the Oriental Navigation Company. ' She got her papers yesterday for Bor deaux.

German Fleet to Face British in Final Effort If U-Boat War Fails Washington, D. €.. Feb. 9.—Naval experts predicted that Germany would try conclusions with the British fleet if the submarine starvation blockade against England failed. They based their reasoning on the belief that Germany's blockade was undertaken as a measure of des peration because the point of actual starvation had been reached in .Ger many. Before surrendering uncon ditionally to the Allies, however, Ger many undoubtedly would make a final supreme effort to win control of the seas, they said. Germany's failure with both her submarine and her high seas fleet, it was asserted, would enable the Allies to command absolute surrender ancFto impose their own terms. Navy Recruiting Agents to Enlist 25,000 More Men Washington, D. C„ Feb. 9.—Navy recruiting agents have been instructed to immediately enlist 25,000 additional men. While the current naval bill author ized a peace strength of 74,000 men, it carried appropriations for consid erably less than that number, since the depart ment had estimated that in the normal course of events not more than 10,000 recruits above the number necessary to replace men discharged could be found. Officials have been encouraged by recruiting returns (luring the winter months, however, which have brought the actual strength up to nearly 58,000 men already. In the event of war probably the first act of the President will be to authorize the enlistment of the maxi mum war-time strength of 87,000. Probably this could be quickly accom plished by a provision in the depart ment's regulations permitting volun teers to enlist for the duration of the war and not binding them to a full enlistment in times of peace. RUSSIA I>EEPIiY IMPRESSED Petrograd, Feb. 8, via London, Feb. 9. The foreign office has given the following statement to the Associated Press In regard to the uetion of the United States in terminating diplo matic relations with Germany: "The decision of the government of the United States to sever rela tions with a nation which has persisted in the violation of perversion of all the laws of warfare has produced a deep impression in Russia. * * * We cannot too deeply acknowledge our appreciation of President Wilson's verdict. Everywhere where men are fighting for the triumphs of right and justice the action of the United. States will call forth new courage and con solidate their conviction of a necessity of finishing forever with German mili tarism and its atrocities." AI'STRIA EOIXOWS KAISER ' Kio Janeiro. Feb. 9.—Brazil has re ceived from Austria-Hungary a note identical with that of Germany re specting subrrtarine warfare. In i-eply the government has sent a protest to Vienna Identical with that already dis patched to Berlin. The New Store of Wm. Strouse Further Delay of Two Days For Neutral Ships Is Given to Spain Paris, Feb. 9.—A Madrid dispatch to the Petit Journal says that the Ger man government has announced that it grants a further delay of forty-eight hours for neutral ships at sea to re gain neutral ports. Germany's original note .to the United States announcing the resump tion of unrestricted submarine war fare stated that neutral ships which were on their way toward ports on the blockade zones on February 1 would be "spared during a sufficiently long period." The note also said that neu tral ships in ports Within the.barred zone would be given until February 5 to sail and must take the shortest route out of the restricted areas. On February 2 the Spanish government asked the central powers for an exten sion of time in which Spanish ships at sea in the blockade zone could re turn to port, but no dispatches have mentioned any specific time limit as set by Germany. Children of Mrs. O'Donnell, Two of Whom Are Missing, Were Born in Philadelphia Philadelphia, Feb. 9. The three children of Mrs. Mary J. O'Donnell, two of whom, with their mother, were reported among the missing passen gers of the Anchor line steamer Cali fornia, sunk by 'a submarine, were born in Philadelphia and according to authorities here, were "potential Am ericans." The third child was among the survivors. Notwithstanding that their parents were not naturalized these authorities hold that the O'Don nell boys, at the age of 21, could have become American citizens by the sim ple process of registering as voters. At their option, however, it was held that they could have chosen British citizenship, by returning to England in the same manner. Mrs. O'Dorfnell was a Scotswoman and her husband was a native of Ire land. They had lived in this city for 18 years. According to the Rev. Ed ward F. X. Curran, rector of St. An thony's Catholic Churcl>, at which the family worshiped. Mrs. O'Donnell had not seen her husband for three years and nothing is known of his where abouts. "It is barely possible," said Father Curran, "that O'Donnell has taken out. citizenship papers during this period." Father Curran said that Mrs. O'Don nell was on her way to Scotland to make her home with her parents and that ho had given her birth certificates for the children so that she could get passports from the State Department at Washington. German Soldiers in Front Trenches Know of Diplomatic Break With the British Armies In France, i Feb. 8, via London, Feb. 9. (From a Staff Correspondent of the Associat ed Press.) —Meager details of the breach of diplomatic relations be tween the United States and Germany have just reached the German soldiers in the front line trenches, according to the statement of prisoners takon by the British to-day. At Baillescourt farm, north of Grandesconrt, eighty men and one officer of the Eighty fifth German Infantry Regiment were captured. Most of them were from Hamburg and were formerly engaged In the shipping trade and spoke Eng lish fluently, one of the prisoners said that he had heard from his own sources that America had broken off relations but that he did not know exactly what this would lead to. An other prisoner, shrugging his should ers, said: "It makes no difference now who comes Into the war. We I don't care. For me the war is finished FEBRUARY 9, 1917. and the sooner all is over the bet ter." Others among the prisoners asked for information regarding the great liners formerly plying between Ham burg and the United States and now tied up in New York. They seem more interested in that phase than in ajiy other. right iii Moonlight The recent night fighting in the moonlight and across the frozen snow, in a temperature near zero, has car ried the British lines well forward on both sides of the Ancre in the direc tion of Miraumont, one part of the operations being the occupation of Grandcourt which was officially an nounced last night. For some time the British have been gradually im proving their position in the Ancre sector, • but the latest and most im portant phase began on Saturday night when, under a moon almost too brilliant for their purpose, the English troops swept forward lire hundred yards over a frontage of three-quart ers of a mile, taking 200 prisoners. This was north of the river and since then the pressure has been from the south. Do theyEATtheir cereal? Ij many households, there is only one answer: "Yes, because I give them Cream of Barley, you know." The reason for that answer is not hard to find. Children not only want flavor, they want a distinctively delicious flavor —Cream of Barley has it. And children want even more than that they want a cereal of whose flavor they won't tire. And they never tire of Cream of Barley. That's because a child's system knows a lot about foods. The child may not know, but its system does. His system demands the right thing and if it doesn't get just the right thing it soon makes him refuse it. Cream of Barley is always the right thing. It is made by an ex elusive process, from the most digestible and sustaining of grains. For tomorrow's breakfast get from your Grocer— Cream of Barley On Tuesday night the British occu pied a long section of a trench Just west'of Grandcourt, and on Wednes day patrols were sent out who report ed that Grandcourt been evacu ated and that the enemy had retired toward Miraumont after abandoning many gun positions. This was duo to the fact that the British ljad reached a position where their guns could rake Grandcourt from three sides. Still pressing forward on. the north General aig's forces took farm to-day after a brief resistance. British staff officers pointed out the significance of these latter advances in view of the German official state ment of Tuesday which claimed the recapture of trenches occupied on Sat urday. These officers say that the sub sequent events are the best proof that the German statement was untruthful. Grandcourt was badly smashed but bits of walls still standing distingish it from some of the other villages which were completely flattened and pulveri'zed, German stores of provi sions were found in the village and the British tommies dined to-day on Ger man rations.
