Property of Aliens in America to Be Carefully Guarded in Case of War. Washington, Teh. i. Preliminary reports before the state department today on- the sinking of merchant ves sels without warning by German sub marines contained evidence of tech nical violations of American rights, yet the government was holding it.- peace until seme outrage presenting a more clear cut issue should compel it to act. Information on all ships torpedoed is being collected and it was officially stated that up to today the situation had not changed. President Wilson pursuing his gen eral policy of having the government refrain from any act which might be construed as being prompted by an ulterior motive in the crisis, author ized an announcement that bank de posits merchants ships and other pri vate property of foreigners will not be seized even in case of war. This con firms a provision of the Prussian American treaty of 1S28 without act ually re-ratifying the convention. Officials were impressed anew with the apparent success of Germany's new campaign as they received reports of the aggregate tonnoge sttrtk in the last few days, but they looked for early ictfon by The British shipping or to take some other steps to lessen the destruction of her vessels.

E UNTIL ehawka HHSSIs Manufacturing the SOLVING THE RIDDLE OF A NEW CONTINENT On Friday, February 10, al the Parmcle Theatre, Lyman II. Howe will pilot the stay-at-homes into the depths fo the seventh continent of the world the Anarctic via the most wonderful series of scenes ever re corded on any film. Spectators will accompany Sir Douglas Mawson's ex pedition into polar regions where blizzards rage with a velocity un known anywhere else on earth. It is a wonderous film in its perfection and tense human interest. The amazing adventures and incidents that attended the 0 university grad uates who comprised the expedition and who frequently were face to face with death are vividly depicted. Their struggles, privations and resource fulness amid raging hurricanes, vast deserts of snow which was often car ried on the winds until it totally ob scured the sun, glistening mountains of ice, and among the strangest forms of bird and animal life, are all scenes which no spectator can ever forget. It is . an tpie story in pictures of human endurance that is without parallel, and yet with its tragic moments are interwoven comic phases that are all the more refreshing be cause they are not posed. The im portance of the events that are here enacted may be realized when it is remembered that they solve the rid dle of the land at the South Pole which hitherto was wrapped in mys tery. The answer was the discovery (f a continent twice as large as the United States. It abounds v.ith seme of the most majectic vistas of scenery of Alnine proportions that the v.-orh! affords. As indicating that the perlhs ar.d privations of polar explorations a shown here aiv greater even than those of war. it is worth while to note that ''' "f the men who accompanied Mawson on this expcdulop. are now on the fiir.;; line in Franco r r.d they complain of the luxury of the tre:ichc.- Another feature portray.-: the gra li eu r of rivers rushing o.T precipices thou-:.;nI- of feet high in Vo-emite National Park, i hiid the ub!;.ity o; stupendous cliff- springing verti cally from the lev I vdleys.
