Woman Bought Doa MuzzIe.

Although the muzzling order for dogs in the town of Windham went into effect Monday, several did not seem to be aware of the fact, or were neglectful of their duty. As is usual at such times, there were many re- ports about town that people had been bitten by unmuzzled dogs, but most of them were found to be without foundation on inquiry. One woman who was passing along Main street Monday morning with a dog which was not muzzled attracted the atten- tion of the dog warden, who was work ing on the other side of the street, and he went across and attempted to take the animal. After some interchange of words, the woman explained that she was on the way to a store to pur- chase a muzzle for the dog, and was permitted to proceed.

GERMAN PORTS ARE CLOSED
Englands Blockade Order Made Pub
lie in london-ln Effect Since
First of March.

! London. March 1.-THE British or
der in council decreeing retaliatory
! measures ON the part of the govern
ment to meet the declaration Of the
Germans that the waters surrounding
the United Kingdom are a military
. area was made public yesterday.
The order has been in effect since
March |, and all vessels sailing to
or from German ports since that date
are liable to seizure. Ships proceed
ing to neutral ports with freight des
tined to Germany are also liable All
captured vessels will be taken to
prize courts and all cash realized from
sale of cargoes will be held until end
of present war.
Washington, March 1.-THE United
States will vigorously protest Eng
lands latest shipping order. Off
cals say that it is fragrant violation
of international law and of the rights
OF neutrals Failure to specifically
proclaim blockade to be maintained
by ships of war off Germanys sea-
ports is declared to make the order
in council as issued in London a dis
tinct violation of the treaty rights of
the United States with both France
and England.
Summed up, officials interpreted the
British order as meaning that without
enforcing a blockade on the German
coast itself, but by stopping Amer.
lean ships anywhere on the high seas.
cargoes destined for Germany would
be taken into prize courts for inter-
litigation.
This would particularly affect the
shipment of cotton and other articles
higherto listed as non-contraband and |
would prevent also the importation of |
dyestuffs from Germany so necessary |
for American industries.
Perhaps more displeasing to officials
than any other part of the British or
der, however. was its prohibition on
American commerce consigned to neu-
,ral countries and suspected of enemy
destination
