Në Modification of Submarine Policy,
· New York, February 6. A message from the representative of the Associated Press at Berlin on February 4 says it is stated positively that the submarine warfare polizy will not be modified. Ger- many is very keenly disappointed at President Wilson's mosange to the Foreign Offics.
The representative's" attention was drawn to the ancient treaty between the United States and Prussia guaranteeing their respective nationals nine months in which to close up their businesses and quit the countries in case of hostilities. He believed that Germany would respect the treaty, and there would be no question of the internment of Americans, numbers of whom were applying for permission to depart...
A Dutch Steamer Bombed.
London, February 5, The Admiralty states that the Dutch steamship Gamma bound from New York to Anusterdam with a cargo of oil ake for the Netherlands Government mei a German sub- marine on Thursday which opened fire on her with guns and subsequently sank her with bombs. It will be interesting to learn what distortion of International law Germany will employ in justification of this act
Germany's Latest Rols,
London February 5.
A German wirçi se Proes message received to-day, an- nounces the general satisfaction of the Dutch shipping world at the change of the boundary of the barred zone and the opening of a dangerless road. This is described as a new proof of Germany taking the interests of neutrala into con- sideration.

'Damn the Consequences."
Loudon, February 6. Indications are increasing that Germany is preparing to climb down. It is reported that negotiations are proceeding with Neutrals with a view to further concessions. This is what is going on beneath the surface, and strikingly con- trasts with the sword-rattling attitude of the German Press, which announces the rupture in large headlines and declares that it is not surprised as it has long been expected.
Some of the papers give a crumb of comfort by aflecting to believe that the submarines will now have a freer hand. They brazenly piaintain that Germany has carried out all her promises towards America.
The semi-official "Lokalanzeiger" waras President Wilson that he is bringing a terrible responsibility upen his bead; but that no threat will terrify Germany.
The Koelnische Zeitung" plainly tells President Wilson that his action will not deter Germany from doing what she likos, since Hindenberg has assured the nation that the military situation enables the people to say: "Damn_the consequences" in connection with ruthless submarining,
Transferring Austro-German Crews.
New York, February 5.
The transfer of the crews of Austrian and German ahips to immigration stations has begun.
America to Act on Principle.
Washington, February 6. President Wilson, in a statement. regarding the seizures, of ships said: "We will do nothing that we have not a clear right to do, and when we act we will act on principle and not on expediency."
The President has issued a proclamation prohibiting American shipowners to transfer vessels to other sovereignty.
Provisions for the Allies,
