Washington, Feb. s. - Germany's

not include the seas directly adjacent
to any neutral countries in Europe.
The official text of the proclamation,
received from Ambassador Gerard at

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 zone 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

within the zone of war. says, however
that the routes of navigation around
the north of the Shetland islands in

Easter to the French is known as

The English name is derived from
that Of the old German or Saxon
goddess of spring, Ostera or Eastre,
whose festival occurred about the same
time of the year as the celebration of
Easter. When the early missionaries
went to Britain they found the people
worshiping this goddess, to whom the
month of April, which they called
Easturmonath, was dedicated. The
missionaries substituted the Christian
Feast for the old heather one, but they
allowed the people to give it the name
OF their goddess, and so the word
Easter came TO he used
