NORTH SEA IN WAR ZONE.
Great Britain Declares Whole Sea in
Military Area.

Great Britain Declares Whole Sea in
Military Area.
= London. Nov. II. - Premier Asquith
stated in the house of commons today
that the British government had de-
cided to declare the whole Of the
North sea to be in the military area.
All subjects of the enemy found on
neutral vessels, the prime minister also
said, would be liable to detention as
prisoners of war.
Mr.. Asquith also announced that oil
and copper would be declared contra
band Of war.
Referring to mines the premier said
the Germans had resorted to indiscrim-
mate mine-laying in the North sea.
without regard to peaceful shipping
and without warning. The purpose
clearly was the furtherence of no def
nate military operation but to endanger
British trade.
These mines unquestionably had been
laid by fishing vessels. disguised as
neutral, the premier said. These mines
were not so constructed as to become
harmless when loosed from their moor
ing, neither were they kept under OBJ
servation.a Mo- steps had been taken
toward peaceful shipping toward this
danger. Consequehtlycss.. terms Of Tne
Hague convention OF 1897 have been
violated.
After a number of neutral fishing
and merchant vessels andy many lives
had been destroyed by these German
mines, Mr.. Asquith said. the govern
ment had been forced to adopt counter
measures to cope with this German
policy Of mine laying combined with
submarine activity.

Gained 253, Days "lost Time" Dur.
ing Year.
Washington, Nov. 16.-The annual
report of General Gorgas. surgeon gem
eral OF the army. shows that health
conditions have improved greatly dur
ing the last year. The army has suf-
fered thru the illness Of It's soldiers faf
less than at any other time in its his
tory. Altho the general health rate has
been improved, the death rate was
slightly larger because Of wreck in
Mississippi in which seventeen soldiers
lost their lives.
Thru the improved health Of the men
the army gained 253, 11s days previously
lost thru suffering from one disease.
This meant an actual monetary saving
Of approximately $4,000. according to
the report.
General Gorgas, notwithstanding
these improvements urges q strict re-
organization OF the army hospital corps
for the preservation OF its efficiency.
He says the greatest trouble now is
that there is no inducement In the pay
offered TO attract intelligent men into
the service.

London. Nov. 1.-THE house Of COM
mons voted unanimously TO provide
100000 more soldiers and an addi-
tionaI credit Of $1,125, 100000 to carry
on the war.
The vote followed an address by Pre-
mier Asquith. In which he declared the
present crisis Is "the greatest emer-
gency which the empire ever has
faced"
He said Great Britain already has
100000 men under arms and that
nearly all Of the first war credit Of
$500, 100000 has been expended. He said
the war is costing the nation $4,000 900
day.
or the new credit $4,000. 900 is to be
loaned to Belgium and $4.000,000 to
Servia without interest TO aid them in
their martial activities.
Politics was forgotten In the greater
need OF the empire, and leaders of all
factions In the house spoke IN support
Of the requests made by the premier.
Walter Long, unionist, congratulated
the premier on the evident determine
ton Of the government to carry thru
the war. The government could count
on the widest latitude and an abso-
lutely free hand Mr.. Long said, as
long as the country was satisfied that
Il would prosecute the war with vigor
and determination.
Timothy Healy, the Irish nationalist.
said that the money should not be
loaned, but given to Belgium and Ser
via, and John Hodge. the labor mem-
ber for Lancashire. indorsed the pro-
posal with the suggestion: Later on
We can collect 1t from the German en-
peror."
Criticism Of Censorship.
The only criticism which was made
against the course taken by the gov
ernment was in regard to the rigid
censorship which Is placed over the
news received from the front. Mr..
Long, Mr.. Healy, and Lord Charles
Beresford urged that the country
should be given fuller details OF the
achievements Of the troops.
Nj. Long said he believed the time
had arrived to permit q limited number
OF authorized correspondents to Join
tho army. In justice TO tho army he
said. 1t was desirable that the country
should know something about the
splendid deeds Of the British, soldiers,
which would increase popular enthus-
iasm and augment the stream Of re-.
cruits.

ship had made England the laughing,
stock OF the world. The whole system
of press censorship, he said, required

The diminution in the force of the

the temporary relinauishment Of the
