STRINGENT PRECAUTIONS PROMISED. , (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received October 19, 10.5 am.) NEW YORK, October 18. j Following yesterday's discussion in the | House of Lord& on Us3's activities, the Washington Government announces that stringent precautions ar© being taken to. prevent the transmission of neutral information to German submarines appear-., ing at American ports. Civilians will probably i>ot be permitted to visit such submarines, owing to the growing belief that civilians boarding U53 revealed details of the presence of . merchantmen in the vicinity of Nantucket. Administration officials beiieve that no complications will arise with England in connection with America's submarine attitude, as the regulations prevent Germans using Anrericn , ports to secure informa * ion and seriously hamper submarine cop. jtal J operations against Allies' shipping.
