EUTSOHLAND WITH 400 SUB MARINES HELD Seaman Reports Obeoing 18B Sub marines Chained Together at Plymouth Harbor. Baltimore Md., Feb. 1(5. That the merchant submarine Dutschland has been captured and that he saw her in Plymouth harbor with 18G other Ger man submarines, was the statement made here today by William Palmer, second engineer of the American transport liner Mongolia. Palmer said that the British had captured 400 enemy submarines, and that 187 of them were in Plymouth chained together and in the center of a huge network of chains attached to buoyos and wharves. Captain Koenig, commander of the submarine freighter, and his crew are in English jails, said Palmer. The Magnolia left Plymouth, Janu ary 27, and arrived at Xew York Feb ruary 7. Palmer was formerly an en uineer here with the Chesapeake Steamship company. Photographs of the Deutschland wrapped with the chains which held her to others in the harbor were on exhibition, Palmer continued, and it was generally known in shipping cir cles that the freighter had been cap tured.

East of Riley HoteL Coates' Block, Second Floor PRESS STHAT GLAMORS FOR WAR ACCUSED Tells Senate That Editors With "Jingo Song" Should Be Punished. Cummins Opposes Authorizing Presi dent to Seize Munitions or Ships. Washington, D. C, Feb. 1G. The senate turned its attention to the in ternational crisis again today, a de bate on the administration bill to cur tail activity of foreign agents devel oping many references to the situation with Germany and drawing from Chairman Stone of the foreign rela tions committee a bitter denunciation of newspapers which circulate false statements in order to create a senti ment for war. "There is no shadow of doubt in the mind of any fair thinking man," said Senator Stone, "that there is a cabal of great newspapers in this country seeking to create sentiment and coerce "the government of the United States into an attitude of hos tility with one of the belligerent pow ers. "I believe anyone who makes such false statements is a public enemy, and that he should be punished." Would Punish Editors. Senator Stone made this statement in discussing a section of the bill which would make it a crime to wil fully or knowingly under eath make an untrue statement intended to in fluence the measures or conduct of a foreign government in relation to any dispute or controversy with the Unit ed States. He argued that the same punishment should apply to any person, including editors and publishers, who knowingly or wilfully make such statements, not under oath. 0 senator Cummins objected vigor ously to the section which would an thorize the president to use the army and navy to seize or detain munitions of war or ships carrying them where they are designed to be used to vio late American neutrality. He pro posed to amend the provision so that the armed forces could not be used "at a time or in a manner that woulel make it an act of war." "I am not going to be rushed off mv feet bv the hysteria that is in the air," said the Iowa senator. "I do not for myself want to give the president power to use the armed forevs of the United States to capture a ship of a foreign nation under such circum stances as would make it an act of war." Senator Sutherland anf Senator Fall opposed the amendment, the for mer declaring it "would be tying the hands ofr the executive" and citing many provisions of law which he said already cave authority to use the armv and navy to preserve neutrality without such restrictions. Senator Fall said the provision without the Cummins amendment was merely de signed "to fill in a gap in the neutral ity laws." Senator Cummins finally withdrew his amendment in order to perfect it. He probably will reintroduce it when the debate is resumed tomorrow. A. W. DAWSON MEETS WITH PAINFUL ACCIDENT l'roni Saturday's Daily. Last evening A. W.

The president has no concrete idea of what "the overt act" will be.
