craft are OF the feet type capable OF
remaining away from the base for
three or four weeks at time and
equipped for phenomenal long trips.
These vessels are expected to oper-
ate OF the Irish coast and at the en-
trance to the channel.
Typical indication of the light
heartedness Of the average British
clubman was the betting In the clubs
last night where many wagers were
laid at three to one that not q single
merchantmen would be sunk before
midnight tonight.
There has been absolutely no in
terruption In the channel service, or
the general coastwise shipping. Pas

has been temporarily suspended be-
cause the companies did not care to
assume responsibility for the safety
OF anything but their own crews. The
freight sailings will continue four
times week as usual.

British isles are today being patroll-

had their bows reinforced In order
that they may ram hostile subma-

A great French patrol Is also on
duty along the French coast. All
coast towns are under control OF the
military and unusual precautions are
being taken because II IL believed
that either an aerial raid or an inva-
sion may be among the possibilities
OF German action.

was when Ave members OF the crew
OF the steamer Lapwing refused to
sail for Amsterdam unless the cap
tain agreed to raise their wages and
pay their widows each ESQ pounds in
the event of their being drowned. The
captain had them arrested and in po-
lice court each was fined 10 shillings.

QUARANTINE TO
BE USED AS CURB
ON VICE DENS

Of the old police system of closing

which failed to report inmates suffer

suetude. the department Is unable to
control the scores OF vicious resorts
now operating openly, unless II an.
nounces that the elimination order
was q failure, and surrenders to ex.

Commissioner Gillespie refuses to
take this step. His policy for the
last few months has been to ignore
the wide-open resorts. Asked about
them, he declares that there aren't

All OF the Lafayette-ave. east dis.

more vicious than ever, with the
women soliciting passersby, rapping
at windows, and even stopping men
on the streets.
In addition to the resorts on this
street, and the other streets that for
merly were recognised part of the
vice district, there are hundreds OF
so-called ''rooming houses" scattered
throughout the city operated as plain
vice resorts.
The quarantine plan. which will
close up these dens completely, for
specified times, II expected to put
many Of the places out Of business.
No one will be allowed TO leave or
enter the places during quarantine,
which may last for two weeks, or a

thorities.

matters absolutely at the discretion
of neutrals and involve no formal
violation Of neutrality"
This, II Is declared. Is merely
pointed out because Germany feels
that her legitimate commerce rights
are severely prejudiced by the fact
that neutrals Gin safeguarding their
rights In legitimate commerce with
Germany according to international
law, have, up to the present, achieved
no, or only insignificant results while
they are making unlimited use of
their right by carrying on contraband
trafic with Great Britain and our
other enemies"
II Is pointed out that neutrals have
the right which they should exercise
OF forcing the cessation Of contrabsnd
trade, especially In arms. with Ger
many's enemies. The note then con-
cludes:
I'm view OF this situation, Germany
after six months of patient waiting,
sees herself obliged to answer Great
Britain's murderous method Of naval
warfare with sharp counter-measures.
II Great Britain In her fight against
Germany summons hunger as an ally
