DRINK PROBLEM STILL FOREMOST IN BRITAIN Borne Drastic Measure Is Con templated But Total Pro hibition May Not Be Imposed Now. 1 New Castle, England, April . Three Tyne trawlers have 'been sunk by the German, sub. marine TJ-10. Several mem jbers of the crews are missing. Drink Problem Uppermost. . London, April 2. The attention of the British publlo Is concentrated on the question of abstenance. It Is doubtful If the biggest headlines chronicling military activity "could di vert the attention from this all-absorbing topic of the possibility, of a dry country. That some drastic measure Is con templated Is certain but opinion is divided as to whether prohibition Is to be total. Some London papers appear toihiy wjth full , page advertisements peti tions requesting the Teader to cut out the the advertisement and send it to Chancellor Lloyd-George. The peti tion reads; - "T am entirely In favor of suspend ing th emanufacture and sale of Intox icants for the duration of tho war which I consider Is imperative for ttv. Quick and successful termination, of the war. I will heartily support the government In such a measure."" The petition Idea has the backing of merchants, business men and other rmploylng labor; but the sense of per. sonal liberty Is so strong In England that ft may defeat prohibition. . . The opinion Is growing that if the , , employes are deprived of strong drink overs should take their same boat. believed that the cabinet Is In favor of total prohibition which under the "defense of the realm" act has the power to enforce prohibition without further legislation.

BRUTALLY CARPENTERS Bulk of Provisions Sufficient for 15 Days Voyage of Eitel to Be Loaded Satur day and Sunday. GOVERNMENT OFFICERS SUPERVISE LOADING Commander Thierichens Still Has Several Days to Re main in Port Is Gen- eral Belief. Newport News, April 1. Tho Ger man converted . cruiser Prlnz Eltel Frtedrich began taking on supplies today under the supervision of the United States government. ' Com mander Thierichens, captain of tha merchant raider, is understood to have asked permission under the neu trality regulations for supplies suffi cient for a 15 days voyage. Only a small portion of the ships stores are to be taken aboard today, the bulk to be loaded, it is said, on Saturday and Sunday. . That the time limit granted to the cruiser to remain in this port would not expire for several days is general ly credited, but the port is still filled with British merchantment which are leaving daily. After the date of expiration the German commander will have 24 hours ln which to leave American wa ters. If during that time the mer chant ship of a hostile nation should leave he would have 24 hours more, but after that date he would be giv- ,' en an opportunity to depart or intern-.' Newport Neva, April 2. The Geij. man merchant raider Prin Elter Frledrich remains ln port here, having' taken on coal1 under the supervision of the ITnltpd States government and guarded by sailors from the battleship Alabama and a company of coast guard artillery from Fortress Monroe. That Commander Thierichens had no intention of leaving for some days at least despite the fact that the coal ing of the cruiser indicated that he was preparing to make a dash for the sea, was authoritatively ascertained. u. It Is also known that the German cap- " tain is negotiating with the American government for supplies. It is probable that a supply suit!- " dent for the subsistence of the crew for a 15 days voyage will be takan. nuuam nt-xi siinoay. supplies lor a. trip to the nearest German port have !bepn askeJ fr by the German corn- mander and under the neutrality regu lations governing the vessels of bellig- ; " erents they will be permitted to go aboard by the American authorities.

I nM cruiser by day as well aa by night Threats to blow up the vessel have been received during the last few days. I Immediately after reaching this port anonymous threats begnn to pour In , Vummander Thierichens through the mails. At first no attention wan 1 paid to them but when they continued : to come several case were given to detect tvea who are still Investigating. , The German commander recently received similar threats and when he' decided to coal his ship he deemed it best to take up the matter nf having his ship guarded. Conferences result- i'n ln speedy decision to furnish the : guard In order to avert the possibility '"I disaster or an attempt to damaite the ship which might result In placing the government in an embarrassing position. The German commander was In a Jovial mood over the coaling of hla vessel. That he had lesa than 200 tons of coal when the barge yesterday ar rived to refill hla bunker wa dla- closed today.
