practically announces that blockade

the word blockade does not appear in

coasts of the British Isles, is due. &C

that the Germans intend to proceed
with every possible means against the
British transports carrying troops and
supplies to France.

Great Britain is on the eve Of ship
ping numerous troops and large guam
titles of war materials to France. We
will proceed with all means Of warfare
at our disposal against these trans
ports.
Peaceful shipping Is earnestly eau
toned against approaching the north
ern or the western coasts of France,
as this would threaten 1t with serious
danger because the vessels might be
confounded with ships used for war
like purposes.
The route around Scotland (north
of Scotland) is recommended as the
best track for the North Sea-"

loss to the feeders.

shippers go into.

SO am not in a position now to speak
with an degree of authority on the
subject" Pettis A. Reid. choirman OF

such plan will probably be of some
benefit to Richmond shippers, espec-
tally jobbers, whose shipments are
nearly all local. What would prefer

ment. If that Is a part OF the plan

English Admiralty Believes Plan of Teuton. to Blockade

No concern was apparent at the
British Admiralty, however. as to Ger
many's declaration of blockade.
ut is one thing to declare a block
ade." said an admiralty official 1T
is another thing to make 1t effective
and enforce it. While the German
submarines have acquitted themselves
we'll In the war thus far they cannot
maintain blockade alone. They need
the help of warships and this they
cannot have as no German warships
can maintain themselves In these
waters"
Object TwofoId.
The Admiralty understands that
Germany's proposed plan Of declaring
a blockade of English, Dutch and
French waters Is two fold:
Ito cut England's food supply off
by sinking ships Of commerce.
ITO prevent the sending Of more
British troops to the continent BY de.
stroying transports carrying English
troops.
1t is admitted that the German first
aim may be successful for q time but
not long enough to bring any danger
of famine The second Is declared to
be hopeless. The transports plying
between England and France travel
through lanes OF mines, submarines
and warships since the war BEGAN.

"The pay roll Of the 120 teachers in

Although no action has been taken

he did not favor closing the schools
