GALE and SNOW
FOR ENGLAND

London, Dec. 29.-(310 A. MA great
gale and snow storm swept over the
larger part of Great Britain and Ireland
last night. There was considerable loss
Of life and much damage done. The
telegraphic service on the continent was
disorganized and communication with
France was almost severed.
One man was killed and several per-
sons were injured by the collapse of a
house wall at Chaplain. Elsewhere in
London plate glass windows were blown
out and property was damaged In other
ways Two feet of snow fell in many
parts of the country, causing serious
flooding OF the rivers, Dublin was visit
ed by the heaviest snowfall in many
years. Several disasters, the result OF
striking mines in the North sea, are re-
ported Among those sunk were the
steamer Linaria, whose crew was res
cued and a Glasgow steamer.

TAFT SEES DANGER
IN NATL PROHIBITION

Boston, Dec. 2S.-National prohioi-
ton is a dangerous proposition, said
former President William H. Taft,
speaking before the Bar Association
tonight. 1T would revolutionize the
national government" he said. IT
would put on the shoulders of the gov
eminent the duty of sweeping the
doorsteps of every home in the lana.
If national prohibition legislation is
passed, local government will be de-
stroyed And If you destroy local gov
eminent, you destroy one of the things
which go to make for a healthy con-
ditions of the national government.
As reasons for his opposition TO ma
tional prohibition Prof. Taft said
TT is non enforceable; it is con-
fession on the part of state govern
ments of inability to control and reg
ulate their own special business ana
duty: if the matter were placed under
federal control it would result IN the
creation of a machinery of government
officials large enough to nominate any
President and would offer too great an
opportunity to persons seeking to per
petuate their power in Washington

battle lines in the East and West have
undergone only small changes in the
past days. The French and German
reports agree that the Germans have
oaptured a section of trenches near
Hollebeke, south of Ypres. The French
assert that the Germans gave up
trenches on the first line to the ex-
tent of about 500 or goo yards in the
LEM region, further east, while I'M
successful demonstrations have been

In continuation of his plans TO get as
much rest as possible during the holt

plans call for conference with Repre-

would cause the defeat Of the bill.
The supply measures have the right
of way and it is believed that the
immigration measure will be displaced
by the District of Columbia appropria
ton bill.
In the House it is not believed that
much real progress will be made dur
ing the week because of prospects OF
a lack of a quorum until after New
Years. The postoffice appropriation
bill is pending with general debate on
it completed, and 1t now awaits read

Fiercest Fighting

The reports of the number of
wounded which both armies are send
ing back from the lines in Belgium
appear to show that the fighting on
Christmas in that country was the
fercest of the past month. Core
spondents in the rear say that the
Belgians, as a result of five days
sapping, captured nearly 5000 Germans
with only small losses to themselves.

by bombs, but that no damage was
done, and consider this improbable.
The naval writer's dilate and specu-
late Ii. .ishly upon the most remarka-
BILE engagement of goth century war
fare. They conclude that the Ger
man ships feared TO come forth and
give battle to the British cruisers be-
cause of the uncertainty as to whether
the British battleships were lurking
behind them.
The fact that the Zeppelins were
driven off is taken by some as evil
dence that the Zeppelins are really
untrustworthy craft. Others think it
means that the Germans are husband
ing all their dirigibles for grand raid
upon England.
1t is argued by seine of the writer's
that if Cuxhaven can thus be attack
ed, why not Helgoland. and even the
Kiel canal.
The only damage the British expedition
sustained was the loss of several hydro
planes, costing 5000 pounds $4,000, and
the only one who lost his life was Com
mander Hewlett.
The British people are beginning to
lose whatever fear of the Zeppelins they
held. perhaps prematurely. but the ex-

ANN RELIEF
COMMITTEE HAS

London, Dec. s.-(207 P. M.).-The
American relief committee today renewed
the lease of its present offices for a Pc
riod of six months. The demands on the

still has so much to do that 1t is not
possible to move its offices to the Ameri-
can embassy.
Inc average number of Americans as
sisted by the committee weekly is now
about 25. These reach London chiefly
from the continent. Furthermore, unset
tied shipping conditions leave many
American seamen stranded In England
and the committee offices are crowded

records its position on conSignmentS
shipped Ito order of no specific con-
signee, stating that this circumstance
alone is not sufficient on which to
hold American cargoes and is of itself
not suspicious. This view has been ex-
pressed by the supreme court of the
United States, but Great Britain an
nounced recently that cargoes shipped
Ito order, would be considered "sus-
pect." Today's note points out that to
hold consignments marked ito order"
proof must be presented at the time
when the detention or seizure is made
showing that a hostile destination is
intended, or else a sufficient number
of other facts must be advanced to
justify further examination of the car
go.
1t is in this connection that the
United States remarks that commerce
between neutral nations constitutes the
normal relations of peace and not war
and that the presumption of guilt can
not rest on the neutral shipper. but
the burden of proof must be imposed
on the belligerent who interferes.
Others May Follow
High officials thought it not unlike
ly that the path marked by
the United States would be followed
by other neutral governments. South
American nations especially have been
keeping in close touch with the at
titude of the United States on sub
jects of neutrality and in most cases
have adhered to the American position.
As the note involves commerce mostly
with European neutrals, it is believed
that diplomatic representatives here
of the latter will seek to learn the
American viewpoint for transmission
to their governments.
The position of the United States, as
expressed in todays note, is a conse-
quence of several steps by Great Britain,
France and Germany on the subject of
contraband Although the declaration of
London, drafted in 1909. embodying the
previous understandings of international
law and new rules for the conduct of
maritime warfare with respect to neutral
commerce, had not been ratified when
the present war broke out, it was
thought for a time all countries would
adhere to il.
Great Britain by an order in council
on Aug. 20 last declared the declaration
of London effective with certain modih-
cations. Germany announced to all neu-
trails her willing ness to adhere to the
whole declaration if the other belliger-
ents would. The United States took the
position that it could not accept piece
meal adoption by the Allies of the dec
laration of London with their own
amendments, and declared that it would
be guided by the general practices of in
ternational law irrespective of the dec
laration of London.
The German government, in a formal
note to the United States and other neu-
trails, then voiced its objections to the
British modification which similarly the
United States opposed.
Today's note was in many important
respects the argument then advanced by
Germany that British practice with re-
spect to neutral commerce was dis
tinct departure from many previously ac-
cepted principles of international law.
