BREAK eNps SENATE Session.
Proore essive Republicans Vote With
Flijbusters end Force Adjournment.


- Washington. Feb. 11.--Republican
and Democratic senators who oppose
the government ship purchase bill.
aided by Senators Norris and Kenyon.
Progressive Republicans, who have
stood by the bill. forced an edjourn-
ment last night of the longest continu-
Gus session in the history of the Sen

Upon . the adjournment. after fifty
fcar hours and eleven minutes of
continseus debate. leading members
of both houses OF Congress conceded
that an extra session to be called soon
after March 1 seemed inevitable.
There wers some. however, who
still hoped that there yet might be
time to dispose of appropriation bills
and the ship purchase measure In
some form before adjournment.
Adjournment came on motion
made by Senator O'Gorman, which pre-
vailed by as to 46, after Senator Nor
ris. deploring the fatiguing filibuster.
had proclaimed his conclusion that op-
ponents of the ship purchase bill
could filibuster it to its death.

SEAS CLOSED BY KAISER
WAR ZONE EpIcT SENT TO PRES
IDENT WILSON.
Text of Teuton Order Does Not In
cIude Seas Directly Adjacent to
Any Neutral Country.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. Feb. s. = Germany's
proclamation of a war zone in the wa.
land. contrary to first reports. does
not include the seas directly adjacent
to any neutral countries in Europe.
The official text OF the proclamation,
received from Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin by the State Department, and
made public reveals that the areas di-
rectly bordering on the territorial wa
ters of France and Great Britain are
held to be in the zore of operations
within which neutral vessels may be
subject to the hazards of naval war
fare.
The original wireless report stated
that shipping north of the Shetland
Islands and for thirty nautical miles
along the Dutch coast. would be en-
dangered in the same way as the wa
ters around the belligerent territory.
The Official text, after pointing out
that the waters surrounding Great
Britain and Ireland, including the Eng
lish channel, were to be considered
within the zone of war, says, however,
that the routes of navigation around
the north of the Shetland islands in
the eastern part of the North sea and
in strip thirty miles wide along the
Dutch coast are not open to the danger
zone"
When officials of the State Depart
ment received the text they immedi-
ately sent ii message of inquiry to de-
termine whether there was not some
slight error in translation of the last
phrase mot open to the danger zone, -
but said later they had no doubt that
the particularization of these routes
meant they were the suggested routes
for neutral ships, and that shipping to
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Hol-
land was not affected by the proclama-
ton.
Crosses irish Sea Flying U. S. Flag
London.-The British steamer LuBi-
tania of the Cunard line. which sailed
from New York Jan. 30. and arrived at
Liverpool Saturday afternoon. flew the
American flag from the time she
passed Queenstown until she entered
the Mersey.
This is vouched for by American
passengers who crossed on her. Ac-
cording to statement by VIII Ir'
win, an American writer, the Lusi-
tania carried the regulation large
American flag at her stern. with q
small American flag and mail pennant
at the forepeak. Former United

Washington. The United States
government Wednesday sent note to
Great Britain making friendly observa-
tions on the use by British ships of
dispatched communication to Ger
many inquiring what steps would be
taken by German naval commanders
to verify the identity of ships flying
neutral flags In the recently pro-
claimed zones of war around England
and Ireland
The inquiry addressed to Germany
United States viii demand the protec-
tion of its ships in the submarine war
zone under all circumstances.
While the i.usitania incident is not
mentioned. the representations to
Great Britain are based on the state
snent OF the British foreign office jus
tifying the use of neutral flags by her
merchantmen to escape capture.
The American government points
out how frequent and continued use
of this stratagem might cast doubt on
the character of vessels really entitled
TO fly the American flag. and produce
dangers to which neutral ships ought
aot be subjected on the high seas and

London, Feb. 10.-The German com
manGer at Bruges, Belgium. has or
dered all the consulates there TO haul
down their flags and remove the coats
of arms, according to dispatches re-
ceived here. The consuls, the dis
patch adds, including the representa-
tive of Turkey. protested, but the or
der was enforced, in some case, with
violence. and. in addition. the consuls
were compelled to surrender all their
arms.
Greece has already replied to the
German memorandum to the effect
that she expects Greek ships to be
protected by the regulations governing
navigation on the high seas and coasts
not effectively blockaded, while Hol-
land and the Scandinavian countries
are taking steps for joint action.
The American steamer wilhelmina,
with grain aboard for Hamburg, has
arrived at Falmouth 1t was thought
possible that she had been ordered
there by one of the British patrol
ships, as the British government had
announced its intention of preventing
her from proceeding to Germany, and
of submitting the question Of her car
go to a prize court. A dispatch from
Falmouth, however, says that the cap
tain of the Wilhelmina declared he
had proceeded to that port of his own
free will.
Outside of these questions of inter
national law, the chief interest lies in
the fighting in the eastern zone. the
operations in the west having lapsed
into period of calm, with only few
small engagements on narrow fronts
which can have little effect on the
campaign as whole.
