PASSED HOUSE OF CONGRESS
BY A VOTE OF 2t5 TO 1at
LAST TUESDAY.
REPUBLICANS GIVE UP FIGHT
After IA Hours Parliamentary Strug-
gIe-Leaders in Senate in Midst
of Final Argument on Measure
Expect Vote This Week.

Washington.-The government ship
purchase bill, as an amendment to the
Weeks naval auxiliary bill, was pass
ed by the house at 120 O'Clock on
Wednesday morning by vote of 215
to 121.
The passage of the bill followed
14-hour parliamentary struggle, which
until long after midnight threatened
to extend interminably, because of a
determined filibuster by Minority
Leader Mann, who yielded only after
administration leaders decided to APP
ply a second special rule to bring the
fight to an end.
Many Roll Calls Halt Debate.
Debate in the house proceeded slow
ly throughout the afternoon and eve
ming
Both floor and galleries were crowd
ed as the debate neared a close. Rep
resentative Mann made the conclud-
ing arguments against the bill, de
claring he opposed it because it was
unnecessary and liable to involve the
United States in international com
plications.
Democratic leaders in both houses
of congress agreed tonight that the
government ship purchase bill either
would be before President Wilson for
his signature within a few days, OF
dead so far as this session is con
cerned.
The administration forces have be
gun a final effort to get a vote in
the senate on the house amendments
over the opposition of republicans and
revolving democrats. Majority lead
ers spoke confidently of the prospect
of victory, and President Wilson, aft

KAISER AGAIN WARNS
NEUTRAL VESSELS AGAINST EN-
TERING WAR AREA AROUND
THE BRITISH ISLES.
ADDS TO HIS ORIGINAL NOTE
Ships Entering English Coast Waters
After Feb. 10 do so at Own Risk
as Germany Declares She
is Going the Limit.

The Hague.-The German legation
again has warned neutral vessels
against entering the war area around
the British isles, as defined by the
German admiralty, and to the original
note adds the following.
Blames British.
"Since Germany, following the ex-
ample of Great Britain, declared as
war zone on and after February 10
English and Irish waters, the British
have declared all the ports of England
war ports and have justified the use
of neutral flags on merchant vessels.
Moreover, according to a reliable
source, a great number of British mer-
chantmen have been armed in order
to destroy German submarines by
shells or by ramming them. Thereby,
these ships lose their character as
merchant ships and become war YES
sells.
Germany, therefore, is again obliged
urgently to warn all neutral ships
against entering English coast wat
ers after February IS, as from that
date the German admiralty will prose
cute the war with all means at its dis
posal against British war ports and
British armed merchant ships.
NeutraIs Take Risks.
Neutral vessels which are then
still within the war zone will run the
-t-1-. Cd a
course through sea battle between
England and Germany, of which the
date and place could not have been
known, and will bring risks upon them
selves for which Germany can not
take the responsibility
1.-The route around the north Of
Scotland, owing to the depth of the
waters, can not be endangered by
mines. There, as well as in the wat
ers of the North sea, with the excep
ton OF British waters and German bay
neutral shipping will not be endang
cred by the measures the British ad
miralty is adopting"
Berlin Surprised at U. s. Tone.
Berlin.-The German foreign office
after studying the American note re
specting the declaration by Germany
of war zone in the waters AROUND
Great Britain and Ireland, states tina
the terms are much friendlier thai
previously had been expected by rea
son Of the incomplete newspaper dis
patches published here.
The foreign office had not anticipat
ed that the United States would accep
the German position without objec
tions, and it even recognized that from
the American standpoint certain o
the positions raised are quite justified
Germany, however, it is declared
intends to adhere to its own viewpoint
Various officials, diplomats, naval an,
military, whose opinions have BEEF
sought profess to see no elements o
danger in the situation and are con
WINGED that the naval campaign cal
be conducted ON the lines laid dow
in the admiralty proclamation withou
involving difficulties between tn
United States and Germany.

six fruitgrowers from Montana, Idaho,
Oregon and Washington met today at
