days session Of the cabinet II was
announced that the situation with
respect to the German submarine
blockade was not at all threatening
and that the administration had no
fear that any Americn ship would
be sunk.
The suggestion of Germany in the
latest note to the United States that
means be found for Identifying and
safeguarding American ships ventur~
ing into the war zone was understood
to have been taken up. 1t was
agreed. however. that the American
government has no authority to
order ships to adopt such meas
ures as taken In Holland and the
Scandinavian countries. which tn-

SHIP BILL DEAD,
SENATE RUSHES
APPROPRIATIONS
All Factions Express Hopes of
Avoiding Extra Session
of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-with the
ship purchase bill sidetracked in
conference, Congress today entered
upon get away" rush to avoid an
extra session.
Republicans declared the ship bill
will die in conference after possibly q
formal attempt to make amendments
and bring it before the Senate once
more. The Democrats admitted pros
poets OF its final enactment were
slim.
Rush work upon appropriation bills
was the program entered upon today
bv the Senate. Although there are
only eleven more days before March
4. night sessions. beginning next
week, 1t was believed, would enable
both houses to clean up the money
measures and ads sourn.
High hopes of avoiding an extra
sess on were expressed by all factions
TODAY. 1t was accepted that the Pres
ident would not call an extra scs-
sion solely for the ship bill. This
word has been passed around gener-
ally. Leaders believe a special ses-
sion will be called only in the event
of international complications.
Senator Martin Today proposed to
call up the leg slative, executive ana
judicial appropriation bill, to be fol-
lowed Immediately by the rest OF tie
fifteen appropriation measures.
Following appointment today OF
House conferees on the ship pur-
chase bill the House was ready TO
pass the diplomatic and consular ap-
propriation bill, the Notifications
and then the last. the general de-
ficiency, appropriation measures.
The House will then mark time and
adopt conference reports on the sup
ply measures.
The only parliamentary loophole
left for the ship bill today was the
agreement to take up the conference
report, If one is agreed upon, on
or after February a. 1t is believed
the appropriation bills, however, will
not be shunted aside on that date,
and that the Senate will continue
with supply measures. holding OF ac-
tion on the ship bill until the last
days Of the session. In any event
the Republicans are in position TO
filibuster during the few remaining
days and defeat the measure.

Wilson Gets Free Hand.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-With the
object of making impossible any
Japanese encroachment on the in
tegrity Of China. it was learned to-
day that the United States has sent
communications to the governments
Of Great Britain, France and Rus
s,a discussing the situation and sug-
gesting that the four powers act In
concert il steps are necessary in the
far East. Thus far no replies have
been received. and officials declined
TODAY to talk of the matter in detail

apply to the entire republic II Is
said that the interests Of the four
powers are identical
That the people should know the
nature of Japan's twenty -one oe-
mands on China was the declaration
made in a speech in the House by
Representative Richmond P Hob

a resolution with the object Of shed
ding light on the Oriental problems
but steps to suppress such action at
this time were promptly taken
Representative James r. Mann, OF
Illinois, Immediately declared that
the President should be given free
hand in dealing with foreign affairs
AS yet there has been no note ad-
dressed TO Japan on the subject; and
nrobably there viii pe none, accord
ing to the view OF several officials
Action will, 1t is said, depend entire
iv upon the replies made by Great

Britain. France and Russia.
China's extremely vigorous resist
snce of the demands has resulted IN
the elimination Of ten Of them, and
that now only eleven of the original
list are being considered in the ne
gotiations.
The silence Of the state department
is explained by the fact that pend
ing tentative negotiations with the
three other powers utter secrecy is
necessary. It is said, however. that
Japan's chief demands are that China
make or accept no rorelgn loans,
grant no concessions. especially in
railroads, or employ any political or
f1nannial advisers without first OBJ
tanning the consent Of the Japanese
government.
From unofficial reports coming
from Peking 1t was learned that
three of the eleven demands in the
present program will not be in keep
ing with the open door" principle.
They are said to be:
Before granting railroad conces-
sions to any third power China must
agree to consult Japan in advance.
Before trying to get loans from
anv third power China must con-
suit Japan.
Before choosing any foreign po-
litical. military or financial adviser
China must consult Japan.

Believed to Have Plan of Sig

LONDON. Feb. 19.-It is believed
here that the Zeppelin airships which
are showing great activity in the
North sea in spite of the fact that
two of them have been lost, a scout
ing and that they have a general
plan whereby they can signal the
approach Of steamers to the various
secret German submarine bases
This Is the first time, with the ex-
ception Of the abortive raid along the
British coast that the Zeppelins have
actually been real factors in the war
operations 1t is generally believed
that not only will they be used as
scouts, but that another visitation
can be expected from them at the
first favorable opportunity. That such
raid is expected is indicated by the
extreme precautions taken in all Of
the coast cities. Anti-air craft guns
have been mounted at many points,
and double crews are in attendance
at all times. Further precaut' 'ons In
connection with the displaying OF
lights are icing taken.
A dispatch received from Copen-
hagen last night described the loss
of two German airships in the North
sea. The Zeppelin LIB exploded on
Fanoe Island Wednesday and an
other such airship. commanded by
Captain Count Platen, sank ten miles
north of Jutland yesterday. II has
been asserted that the entire Zeppe-
lin feet is patrolling the North sea,
just outside of English waters. Yep

ed her guns on the steamer and or
dered her TO heave to. When salts

Berlin Claims Substantial Prog

The Austrian troops are reported
to be continuing their victorious ad-

that the Russians have now evacu-

Official reports from Petrograd and
Vienna speak of encounters of great
severity in the Carpathians, but ap-
parently no decision is near.
The German war office, in today's
communication, asserts that substan-
tial progress has been made in the
invasion of Northern Russia, along
the German border, following the ex-
pulsion of the Russian army from
East Prussia The Germans are said
to have captured Tauroggen, in the
province of Kovno, as well as sew
eral villages further south. In Cen
tral Poland. along the Warsaw front,
the situation is unchanged.
The attacks of the allies in the
west. supposedly to prevent the Ger
mans from developing their offensive
movement in Russia, has led to
severe engagements at several points
in Belgium and France. The Ger
man war office admits that the
French were temporarily successful
in battle near Verdun, but says
that later they were driven back"
The second of the British bi-weekly
reports from the front speaks OF
seveer fighting near Ypres, on the
western end OF the battle line. Ger
man attacks gained possession of sew
eral British trenches, which, however,
were won back subsequently.
