LONDON, Feb. 1S.--The blockade ol
the United Kingdom by Germany is on
for with the dawn of February Is
there went into effect the German no

British waters.
What will be the effect Of this dec
laration will take day or two 10 dem

profess to feel no alarm. Nevertheless
all passenger traffic from England to
Holland has been tied up. The lines

Cross channel services have an
nounced that their usual schedules

Meanwhile the British public is pc.
i-using the German note answering the
American concerning the blockade. II

the imperial government and it now
awaits the pronouncement OF. Great

placarded with descriptions OF the
British and German aircraft when ai-
raids were uppermost in the public
mind, illustrations showing British anu
German submarines are now being
distributed to acquaint shippers OF
merchants with their own and hostile
under sea vessels, so that they will
not fire on or ram a British submarine
by mistake.
In many! quarters the demand is in

Marshal Won Hindenburg with great
victory pending the outcome of the

lines on the Niefen river It is argued
by British military experts that the
German double flanking movement APP
parently has failed and this view also
is held at Petrograd.

Increase of Ten Gents
Only in City Le0y Bin
Senator Parrish Denounces Re,
ports of Big Advance and
Annexation of Suburb.

Alleged editorial comment in a
morning newspaper published here to
the effect that the Clarksburs levy
Dill pending in the state legislature
VIII increase the present maximum
CITY levy to about stWic O., the present
limit, together with sinfiiaf misieadS
ing reports, has called forth an IN
dignant denial by state Senator Roy
3: Parrish at Charleston.
THE Clarksbufg levy BILL = declares
Senator Parrish, "as Originally intro
duced in the Senate and passed by
that body, provided for an increase Of
the maximum tax levy Of Clarksburg
from thirty five cents to sixty cents on
the hundred dollars, but upon my
recommendation 1t was amended in
the House OF Delegates so as to make
the maximum levy only forty-five
cents on the hundred dollars. This is
only ten cent increase over the pres
ent limit, a very moderate increase.
The bill will come back to the Senate
and will very likely be passed by 1t as
amended by the House. In fact, / have
the assurance Of senators that It will
be so passed within the next two or
three days
"Unfounded reports have also been
circulated" says Senator Parrish,
that the bill provides for the annex
alton Of Broad Oaks. No. such thing
has been contemplated. The bill pro-
yides only for the slight increase in
the maximum levy. in order to make
UP revenues lost by the operation OF
the Yost prohibition law, and nothing
more"
