Only it would be too bad if one of those nice Untersee Booten should grow rapacious for the Dutch steamer on which the Count sails, and the sinking of another liner be celebrated in Berlin. That fear beset us with respect to Count von Bernstorff. It is repeated with intensity for Count von Tarnow...
...took the initiative in debarring the citizens of neutral nations from a portion of the European waters by setting aside a zone in the North Sea which, having been strewn with mines, neutrals were informed they would enter at their own risk? Suppose an American merchant vessel or passenger liner should decline to submit to such dictation, or, while engaged in non-contraband trade, en route for Hamburg or Bremen, or for some neutral European port, refused to regard the warning shot fired from a British vessel intent on its capture.

This is the boat on which 30 members of the University will sail for Bordeaux to drive ambulances at the front. Passports have been issued to these men and it is possible that the ship will be convoyed throughout the voyage...
