President Bars German Marine Insurance From U S Ports
The President issued a proclamation cutting German controlled insurance from access to shipping information and halting underwriting and reinsurance on marine and war risks. German firms may still insure weapons and shipbuilding, but overall shipping risk data is blocked. Existing war risk contracts may continue briefly, with payments suspended for the war’s duration, and state regulators will apply rules to uninsured areas. The move aims to curb enemy intelligence, while cables and mail remain largely open.

Proclamation Halts German Marine and War Insurance
President Woodrow Wilson issues a proclamation prohibiting German Empire marine and war risk insurers and reinsurers from transacting in the United States. The order bars U.S. insurers from reinsuring with German firms and suspends existing contracts during the war while allowing certain premiums and claims. It also requires German company funds to stay in the United States under state supervision. The Home Insurance Company is noted as a major exception having canceled a contract with Munich Re two weeks prior. The Tribune had previously highlighted the dangers of German reinsurance.

War and the United States a Call for Swift Effort
Arthur H. Pollard notes Washington unity in the drive to enter the war with rapid, sufficient participation. He cites a 10 million man potential, universal factory support for arms, a strong shipbuilding push, food control bills, and a vast aero plane program. He warns that secure communications are essential before fighting can be decisive. Britain, France, Italy, and Russia depend on overseas supplies for sustenance and war effort.
