Berlin GLOOMY

OF BLOCKADE
Travellers Say Germany's
Food Supply Cannot Last
Longer Than May Is.

London, Feb. 22.-An Exchange dis
patch from Amsterdam states that
German travellers from Berlin declare
the capital is gloomy over the compar-
atively small success of Germany's
blockade.
The newspapers are not allowed to
mention any thing concerning the
true state Of affairs, but the public
is disheartened. It is now obvious
that Germany has not enough subma-
rines to put through her projected
campaign.
The plan to establish nava, base
at Zeebrugge is reported to have
been abandoned owing to the danger
uf commandment by British airmen.
Recent aerial raids by the British
over Zeebrugge showed the plan to
be impracticable. The kaiser has also
abandoned his plan to visit Cuxhaven.
To cap the climax of Germany's
discomfort, the country faces famine
as result of the blockading activities
of the warsbips of the allies. 1t is
regarded as all but impossible to I'M
port foood into Germany since the
incident of the Wilhelmina, and 1t is
learned that the present supply cannot
possibly hold out longer than May 10.

Senators Want
MORE SUBMARINES
FOR COAST WORK
Naval Committee Proposes
Big Increases DOT
Wants SO Seabugs.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The senate
naval committee today decided to en-
large the submarine arm of the sea
defense of the nation. In calling up
the army appropriation bill, Senator
Chamberlain declared in favor of a
moderate army of from $4,000 to ~, =
600 men and said any further reorG IL
iZation of the army must go over 10
the next congress.
The naval committee increased the
number of submarines of the sea-gO-
ing type from the one provided in
the house to five, each to have a sur
face speed of not less than 20 knots,
and to cost exclusive of armor and
armament, $1,4O0,00O. The eleven
submarines, at cost of not to exceed
$550OOO each, provided by the house,
are increased to 16. The house ap-
pl opriation of 100000 for the avia-
ton corps is increased to $1,000.00o.
The senate committee agreed VITA
the house in abolishing the pluck
ing board" but provided that half Of
the total service of every naval Off
Ger must be spent in actual sea duty.
The demand of the great intermoun-
tain country for an adequate navy
was voiced today by Senator Smoot
of Utah. in an amendment which will
appropriate a total of $3O,OOO,OO0 for
the construction of so submarines OF
the sea-going type to have a surface
speed of not less than 25 knots, and
% submarines for coast defense work
to cost not to exceed $550,000 each,
exclusive of Iarmor and armament.
The entire appropriation is to be
available until expended.
Republicans made a determined and
aggressive fight for the adoption OF
an amendment along the lines sug-
gested by Senator Smoot.

London, Feb. 22.-The German CEN
ter is crumbling fast and now is in
such a weakened condition that de-
termined drive by the allies would
carry all before it, were it opportune
at this moment to thus vigorously
press the offensive, according to mill
larry experts here.
The continued gains of the French
in Champagne, the faltering defense
offered by the Germans between Sou
ain and the Champagne, and the de-
structive outcome of the kaiser's
drive against the Verdun position, are
taken to indicate the rapid disinteg-
ration of the German strength on this
section of the western battle front.
