 '"The latter army, Halil declared, is now perfecting it's preparations and will shortly hberate Egypt from the tyranny of the enemy He added that the British would soon be driven from Basra (Asfatic Turkey).
 The bombardment of the DardanelleS according to Halil, had not achieved the smallest result. It is improbable the enemy can come through the straits, he said, but if he does come through he will find that the greatest part of our army had been gathered there and that measures have been been devised against every possibility

FATE OF SHIP PURCHASE
 BILL HAS BEEN SEALED,
Administration Officials Abandon All
 Hope for Its Passage.

Washington, March 2-Congress set tied down tonight for what the leaders expect to be a continuous session until the gavel falls to signalize it's end at noon March 4. The house marked time for few hours after sending the gov ernment ship purchase bill back to conference, while commNtes Iabored on final agreements on the billion dol lar appropriations for expenses of the government. Meanwhile the sen- ate sought energetically to catch up on the legislative programme
 Ship Bill Almost an ImpossibiIity.
 Developments of the day virtually sealed the fate of the ship purchase bill, administration leaders agreeing that it would be almost impossible to act upon the conference report in the senate after it is disposed of by the house. Some of the democratic sena- tors asserted tonight that the measure probably would not appear in the sen ate again, while others thought it might be offered at the last moment when all essential measures had been cleared away.
 Point of Order.
 The bill was shunted aside late in the day in the house and returned to conference on a point of order made by Representative Mann the minority leader. who contended that the con- ferees had exceeded their authority in increasing to three years the period to elapse following the close of the European before the Weeks naval auxiliary provisions should become effective.
 The Weeks bill would have gone in- to effect at once, as it passed the sen ate originally, while the house amend ment provided that it should be en- forced with the expiration of the pro- posed shipping board two years after the close of the war.
 Speaker Clark sustained the point of order and a further conference with the senate was required to make the report conform to the rules

Concessions Are
 Made by Germany
ACCEPTS ALL BUT ONE OF AMER-
 IcAN PROPOSALS.
USE ANCHORED MINES
Willing to Consider Abandonment of Floating Mines ard Conform to In-
 ternationaI Law in Use of Sub-
 marines to Protect Neutral Shipping.

Berlin, March 2, via London, GAO D. m.-ln it's reply to the American note concerning the German naval war zone the German government agrees that, under certain conditions, it's subma- rineS will halt and investigate mer- chantmen, and will proceed against only such vessels as are found carrying contraband or are owned in nations hostile to Germany. The reply de clareS Germany's readiness to accept virtually all of the American proposals except the one which would restrict the use of anchored mines to purely de- fensive purposes. The German gov ernment expresses the belief that bel Hgerents cannot afford to abandon em- tirely the use of anchored mines for offensive operations. It is willing to consider the abandonment of floating mines.
 Will Conform to International Law.
 In case German submarines take ac- tion, after investigation, against mer- chantmen carrying cOntraband or own ed in hostile countries, it is agreed that such action will be in accordance with the general rules of international law This presupposes, however, the aban- donment of tht use of neutral flags by merchantmen st hostile nations or the aTming of Sucl merchantmen. If such tactics were employed. Germany con- tends, it woult be impossible to re- strict the opera lions of submarines in this manner.
 Suggests American Commission.
 The repuy suggests that there be constituted in the countries concerned American commissions to which sup plies of foodstuffs for the use of civilian populations could be consigned. This plan. it is said, is contemplated in the American proposals. The reply also suggests that these commissions should be allowed to import and con- trol the distribution of other articles, especially fodder, which are on the con- ditiOnal contraband list in the Decla- ration of London. Germany states that interference with articles on the abso- lute free list in the Declaration of Lon don should be abandoned.

SENATOR WEEKS
 IN ADDRESS
Senator Declares that Were it not for Superior French and British Navies American Ex- pOrtatiOn Would Cease.

New York, Nov. 12.-Assertions that in the event of future foreign wars expectations from the United States would cease and that only the superior British and French navies enabled expectations to continue were made at the meeting of the Academy of Political Science tonight as argu- ments for the upholding of the Amer ican Merchant Association.
 Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, of Florida; Senator John Weeks of Mas sachusetts and Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, were speakers.
 Senator Weeks argued for a large merchant marine pointing out that this country now pays to foreign own CTS of ships S300,000,000 annually to transport American products abroad, and he asserted that the creation of a merchant marine by subsidies would increase industry in this country and give employment to probably 500,000 Workmen.
 In the event of foreign war he said, an ample merchant marine would be invaluable because it would enable America to continue exporting regardless of the war, whereas, now if it were not for the superior British and French Navies American exporta- tion would be stopped"

ARKANSAS SYNOD IN FANOR OF UNION
In Session at Fayetteville, Pres byterians Adopt General Com mittee ResOlutiOn-Meet at F0rdyce Next Fall.

 This resolution was adopted after being offered as a substitute to a reso- lution offered by a joint committee representing the two divisions of the church known as the Northern and Southern Presbyterian churches.
 The committee resolution was a. dopted by the Arkansas Synod of the Northern Presbyterian church in re- cent session. The substitute resolu- tion adopted today is designed to bring about union of all Presbyterian faiths said to number about 12. The resolu- tion was discussed considerably, but finally adopted with only five or six opposing.
 The question of the removal of Ar kansas College finn Batesville Ito some other Arkansas City did not come up as an issue in the Synod today. However, action was taken which indicated that the synod did not favor removal. In minority report of the Executive Committee on Schools and Colleges, Dr. J. P. Robertson of Morrilton, suggested that of an en- dowment fund of $100,000, for which a campaign is to be made, that Bates vile raise $30000 contingent upon the raising of the remainder by the church. es over the state. This was voted down.
 After busy day the synod adjourn ed until next fall, when it will con- vene at Fordyce.
