Legislative Program Brought To
Halt BY Determined
Fight

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Democrats
today played for time on the ship
purchase bill. They believed this was
their only hope Of passing some vart
ETY. Of government-ownership bill.
While awaiting the arrival OF absen-
tees, they planned TO amend the Dill
to suit Progressive Republicans. This
plan has the presidents o. X. inso-
far as 1t does not alter the bills under
lying principles.
The ship purchase filibuster In the
senate Is lot tying up the purchase
bill alone. The hackers Of numerous
other measures which will die with
THE congress unless they get speedy
attention were suggesting today that
may be the fllibusters were as much
interested In smothering such legisla-
tion as In defeating the ship purchase
bill.
Among such bills we're mentioned:
Tho railroad securities control bill;
the Ferris water power control bill:
bills to open stores Of coal, phosphate,
oil, gas and other resources.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-It
Germany intends her war zone
around England as a blockade,
she must make it "airtight,'
else the United States will not
recognize it. This was broadly
intimRted following today's cab
met meeting.
The notice the state depart

.gSn0d ass merely a danger zone
warning, similar to warnings
previously given by both Eng
land and Germany against mine
areas,
1t was officially announced
that no protest or other note
has thus far been sent to Ger
many. s
The state department copy of
the German order, it was stat
ed officially today, differed
from the published statement
from Berlin, in that the depart
fnent note covered the north
and west coast of France,
whereas the other was more in
elusive, taking in the English
channel, northward around the
Shetland islands and n portion OF
the North sea. The state de-
