President All Sides Seem
in The Air"

Washington. Feb. Tile close Of
another legislative day found the ad
ministration ship purchase bill still in
a tangle with the chances against its
being put on the statute books at this
session Of Congress.
The adm nistratipn leaders in the
Senate in maneuyerins for votes
were seeking 10 appease the seven
Democratic insurgents by conceding
an Amendment which would limit the
governments participation in the
shipping plan 10 two years, thus maxi
ing the government ownership scheme
purely temporary measure. While
the Senate leaders were proceeding
along this line. however, President
Wilson was after the votes of Repub-
lican Progrcssivess who came away
from the White House feeling that
the President would concede 10 them
their demand that the government
should go into the shipping business
on a permanent basis
When this pulling and hauling TO
cross purposes between the executive
and the Senate leaders became known
late in the day, there was further con-
fusion In the Democratic camp, and
strong undercurrent of resentment be-
gan 10 show itself because the Presi-
dent lad Immediately summoned pro-
gressive Republicans TO the White
House before trying 10 heal the diff
ferences in his own party.
The seven Democratic insurgents
demanded as the basis Of any agree
ment 10 support the measure that two
amendments be adopted a. follows:

operation of shipping Is merely TO
rect an emergency and VIII expire

A Democratic caucus was held to-
night 10 consider the two demands
made by the seven reca icitrant Demo-
Gratis. The seven Democrats who
jumped the party reservation yester-
day failed . attend the caucus, The
conference adjourned at / o'clock to-
night after having agreed upon A

Pursue AS To Ship With
Food For Germany

Washington. Feb. 2.--The status OF
the cargo of the American ship wiz
helmina, now on the seas bound for
Hamburg With cargo OF foodstuffs,
soon may he an issue between the
United States and Great Britain. No
tice was received here today of the
intention If the british Government
to seize the cargo OF The Wihelmina
as soon as the vessel is met by Brit
lsh sea patrols.
This notice came in a dispatch
from AmLassad dor Page at London.
He has been informed that the Brit
ish Government holds that the recent
German decree, by which the Gov
eminent assumed control of The sup
ply of foodstutfs within the empir~.
amounts 70 appropriation of the ma
tons food supply His Majesty's
Government holds. therefore, that all
cargoes of foodstuffs consigned to
Germany mast he regarded as being
consigned To the German Government,
and, therefore, Of hostile destination.
Ambassador Page has been inform
ed, however. that since the Wilhei-
m.na sailed from New York with
her cargo without knowledge of this
German decree. there will be no pro-
ceedings against the shi,, and that
the owners of the vessels cargo will
be preserved from any loss. 1t Is
understood that the intention of the
British Government is to pay for the
cargo what the consigners would have
received If they lad sold IL in HAM
burg. as intended. The L. s. Greene
commission house. OF st. Louis. is the
consignor Of the cargo. and was to-
day notified by the State Department

GERMANS IN NEW DRIVE
IN WARSAW CAMPAIGN.

PetroErad. Feb. THE Germans
have begun an assault characterized
in the Russian official statement as
'ferocious and tinguished by great
tenacity," upon the entire Russian
front, in a new drive toward War
saw.
The fighting reached It's nercest along
the whole line last Saturday, and Is
now continuing in the same pitch.
The Russians admit that part OF the
assault on the Russian line. psrticu-
larry in the highly important terri
tory In tine region Of Sochacow and
Dorjimow. on the road TO Warsaw, has
been successful. and that the Ger
mans drove them back TO the second
line OF trenches. but the Russians de-
precate the value OF any gains made
by their enemy.
On tie other hand the Russians
t.iaiu, gains on the lower vsstala. and
say that they were able TO repulse at
lacks of the fIercest nature at ether
points.

Military readers of The comnunica-
ton NJ the war oriee say that they
believe that the Germans feel that
they have marked time long enough.
and that il Warsaw liz TO be won they
must drive on with all their power,
regardless OF the cost. The nghtiag
was 80 intense that a. one poin. In the
trench line near Eor3 imow 5000 Ger
mans were killed in one mile. and the
