(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 6. Seizures of German merchant ships in American ports, according to official statement today are measures of safety for the ships themselves and adjoining property. The crews aboard are regarded as German reservists on German territory. The further, question of what is to be done with the fleet now comes up for consideration. Two courses, it was said, are open to the government. The ships may ' be impressed into service and paid for at the close of the war or they may be confiscated altogether without violating the term? of,,the Prussian-American, treaty, of 1828. Many officials oppose the latter course unless it should be decided to take. It upon on the principle of taking a ship for ever American ship destroyed illegally by a submarine.

(By Associated Pres) BERLIN. April 5. (via London), April 'C Although most of the Berlin papers continue today their unfriendly comment and criticism , of President Wilson's speech the German government has so far taken no official notice of It It is expected, however, that a reply to certain historical features of his address will come later, I especially if, as reported, Washington! sends copies to the neutral governments. - The Berlin public still maintains its attitude of indifference to the crisis and a similar apathy is reported from other cities. In no instance, as far as is known, have Americans been the subject of unpleasant incidents. The foreign office declares that no change is contemplated in the attitude of the government toward v Americans or American property. Citizens of the United States will be treated as neutrals even although the "state of war" resolution is passed by congress and will have every freedom to either leave the country or stay. Only a different treatment accorded to German citizens in the United States, foreign office officials say, will change the government's attitude. They add that Germany regards the treaty of 1799 as m full force and will live up to it. There is little definite data available in regard to the number of Americans

still In Germany. The American As

soclation of commerce has been gather; ing a list but so far less than 500 have

been recorded. Only 200 of these are men, the remainder being women and children. Moreover, the number has been steadily decreasing as many

Americans are leaving daily, principal

ly for Switzerland and Denmark. There are probably several thousand

Americans still in Germany but many

of these have been here so long that they are more German than American

and a considerable proportion have no

passports.

The

Resurrection

And the women who had come with him out of Galilee came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and they were saying among themselves, "Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb?' And looking -up, they see that the stone is rolled back, for it was exceeding great. . ; And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, arrayed in a white robe: and they were amazed. And he saith unto them, "Be not amazed: ye seek Jesus, the Nazarirte, who hath been crucified: he is risen: he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. .. . . . -, : And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
