London. In q formal proclamation
signed in council by the king and is
sued from Buckingham palace, Great
Britain made known to the world, on
Monday, how she proposes to sever
all the arteries of sea commerce TO
and from Germany during the period
of the war.
AS in Premier Asqulths speech
forecasting the order, the term block
ade" is not used and no prohibited
area is defined. Nevertheless, the
text of the order makes plain Eng.

ties of any kind from reaching or leav-
ing Germany during the war.
British officials frankly called the
movement blockade, the foreign Of

In the last clause of the proclama
ton Is the proposal most interesting
to neutrals. This is fiat agreement
to lift the blockade" In case any ma
ton will certify that the ships flying
its flag shall not carry goods to Ger

longing to the subjects OF the German
empire.
1t is notable that the order declares
no intention to capture ships proceed

reason being, no doubt, that the meas

German submarine warfare. However
Gordon of ships will be maintained

ports and regulate trade in the wal
zone. although ships voyaging across
the Atlantic will. 1t is said, be seized
before they reach the North sea.

FIRST CHIEF TAKES ACTION IN
TIME TO PREVENT CLASH
WITH AMERICANS.
Had Been Advised That United
States Was Ready to Open
Port by Force TO Insure Free

Washington.-Presi Wilson has
determined that all the rival factions
In Mexico shall be compelled, II neces-
sary, not only to respect the lives and
property OF foreigners, but to insure
freedom of commercial communication
between the United States and it's
southern neighbor.
This policy, enunciated In the last
two notes sent to General Carranza
concerning the situation at Mexico
City, was further devc,oped by the
dispatch of a communication inform
ing the Mexican chief that unless the
gunboat Zaragoza was recalled from
its attempted blockade of the port OF
Progreso, the president of the United
States would be constrained to issue
instructions" to the commander of the
armored cruiser Des Moines ito pre-
yort any interference" with American
ships going to or from the port.

The opinion of officials is that there
will be no further attempt to block.

GERMAN DEFEAT
BRITISH CLAIM INVADERS LOST
TEN THOUSAND MEN IN
THREE DAYS FIGHTING.
While Allies Are Claiming Victory,
the Germans Declare That Attacks

grow, as evidenced by statement
from the British war office. which de.
clares that in three days fighting the
German losses could not have fallen
far short OF 10000 men. Prisoners to
the number of 1,72O were taken by the
British.
Regarding these operations, the
French official statement says: "The
success gained by the British Nmies
at Neuve Chapelle proves to have
been absolutely complete. They cap
fortified work They enemy suffered
great losses"
The French war office also tells OF
advances in the Champagne and Ar
gonne regions. but Berlin declares that
all the attacks by the French in Cham
payne broke down under the German
FIRE with heavy losses to the French.
In the eastern zone around Przas-
nysz the battle is developing slowly,
while both Russians and Austrians
claim to have made gains in Galicia
and the Carpathian mountains.
Shipping circles in England are dis
turbed over the remarkable activity OF
the German fast submarine U-29,
which for three days has been torpe-
doing steamers at various points off
