BLOCKADE OF ALLIES
 AGAINST GERMANY
Similar to TIat of French Fleet Against Cornwallis During Ameri-
 can Revolution, Says Ricbet.

Paris, March 4, 5:05 a. m.-The quiet and dignified manner in which the American press and public re- ceived the Franco-British declaration of proposed naval reprisals against Germany has made a strong impress sion in France. Writers in the lead ing newspapers point out that a na- ton so devoted to business interests as the United States scarcely could be expected to remain unmoved at the proposal of closing the sea routes to a country with which it does an an nual business of s5O0,00O,00O.
 'We can prevent loss to neutrals," says the Matin, "by purchasing inter- cepted cargoes of which we desire to deprive. Germany. We should per- haps lose on these purchases, which we neither could use nor resell until later; but the loss would be a mere drop in the ocean of enormous war expense and very little in comparison to the extra blood it would have been necessary to shed for having neg lected this necessary means to hasten the enemys equalization by economic strangulation.'
 Professor Charles Richet, writing in the Figaro, declares that while the Germans contend the allies blockade is barbarous and contrary to interna- tional law, a blockade carried out by a French fleet in the American Revo- luton prevented British admirals from re-victualing Gen. Cornwallis, l thus forcing him to capitulate at Yorktown. Professor Richet says no I historian ever has pretended this was | disloyal act, and "We should be | greatly surprised if the Americans in I 1915 condemned a proceeding which | permitted Gen. Washington in 1781 | to win American independence"

"The records of the Interstate Com merce commission show that the car riers in the territory involved, have been called upon to invest in their properties, by way of additions ana betterments, more than one hundred million dollars a year during the last seven years, and yet their net rev enues are but slightly higher than they were during the prior seven years. In other words, that there IS no substantial return upon the new investment which has been made dur ing the last seven years.
 Tt will also be demonstrated from the compilations of figures which will be presented, that the additional ln- vestment in road and equipment IS being taken care of by bond issue; i; that is by borrowing, rather than by taking in new partners by the sale Of stock" ..

INFER Is BACK.

They say they can't "come back" but it isn't true. At least it is not true in all cases. Myer F. Caplan, boxing impressario, grocer, etc., is back. Myer left town suddenly a few weeks ago, soon after the famous near-fghts he staged at Turner hall and it is said that the reason of his going was because his creditors were making things warm for him. But he came back. He accidentally ran across two reporters this morning but declined to be interviewed, removing himself from their presence with Ieatness and despatch

Nuch Imp0rtant Legislati0n
 By Sixty- ' hi1d Congress
Several Contemplated Measures Pressed by President and Democratic Leaders, Left Undone After
 Session of 637 Days.

treaty to enforce the regulations adopted by the London safety at sea conference was ratified last Decem- Der, but with an amendment making reservations which came too late for other powers to consider, thus pre- venting enforcement of the conven- tion. A treaty with Nicaragua pro- viding for requirement of the Nica- raguan canal route and naval stations for S3,O00,00O was left unratified by the senate and the pending treaty with Colombia directing payment of s25,0O0,000 for the Panama canal strip was held by the foreign rela- tions committee.
 Appropriation Bills Considered. almost wholly devoted to appropria- ton bills, the ship purchase bill fight, and a few general measures. Aside fro mappropriations about the only important legislative enactments in cluded the creation of the Coast Guard by consolidation of the Life Saving and revenue cutter services; reclassification of grades in the Dip lomatic and consular service, require ment Of registration of and imposing special taxes upon all dealers, manu- lecturers or importers of opium, or it's derivatives, and the creation of the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
 Much debate on the condition of national defenses enlivened the clos ing session.. Proposals for special in vestigation of the preparedness of the nation for war all failed. House naval and military committees, however, conducted public hearings on the sub ject in connection with the military supply bills.
 Marked by Differences.
 The congress also was marked by differences between President Wilson patronage; a spirited contest over con- firmation of nominees for the federal reserve board; two successful filibus- ters-one in the summer session against the rivers and harbors ap- propriation bill and the other the fight of republicans and democratic allies against the ship purchase bill; an unsuccessful effort in the senate to establish a cloture rule to limit prolonged debate; institution of a SpeCldl inquiry 1IlO OulSloe exerted against the ship purchase bill; a general lobby investigation which extended for many months, and pro- posal of an injury into senatorial campaign contributions.
 With the fall of the gavel today many senators and congressman long national figures passed into private life. Senators who retire are Root of New York, Burton, Ohio; Perkins, California; Thornton, Louisiana; Bris- tow, Kansas; Stephenson, Wisconsin Crawford, South Dakota; Camden, Kentucky and White, of Ala bama Representative Underwood leaves the house to go to the senate. Scores of representatives in the house give way to new members.

Revenues and Expenses.

''The comparison of revenues and periods, one, the seven years, 1901 to 1907, inclusive, and the other period from 1908 to 1914, inclusive. The latter period commences with the re- vised, uniform system of railroad ac- counts as prescribed by the Interstate Commerce commission, and covers substantially the period during which this commission has had the power to authoritatively fix maximum rates. The results of the operation of each year will be given separately and the general comparison will indicate a decreasing ratio of return upon in vestment in road and equipment. not only IS between the two periods com pared, but as between comparable years in the latter period. It will show that the operating ratio is in- creasing, and that there has been T very large addition to the properties of the carriers.
 This compilation will show that the net operating income of the car riers interested in this proceeding, for the average of the last seven years, nave not earned what the courts have held to be fair rate of return upon thelr properties, when considering the question of confiscation of property oh an amount to exceed twenty eight

TO PROTECT PUBLIC
FROM ACCIDENTS
Careless Handling Of OH and Case
line Will be Dealt With In
This New Crusade.

A new crusade to protect the public
from accidents due to the careless
handling of gasoline and kerosene has
just been inaugurated through the
state inspection department OF tina
Iowa board of health, according to In
formation received here.
At the suggestion of Secretary sum-
ned Of the health board, circular has
been sent to the state inspection force
asking cooperation in enforcing the
laws in regard to the color of all re-
ceptacles containing gasoline. The
bulletin says:
Referring to the annual report OF
state fire marshal, Ole O. Roe, regard
ing deaths by fire, discloses the fact
that one.third Of the sixty-three deaths
for the year 1913 were due directly OF
to gasoline explosions. Fol-
the year 1914, of the seventy-one
deaths reported as the direct result by
fire, thtrty-one fatal cases were caused
by gasoline or coal oil.
These startling statements empha
size the great care to be observed In
the handling of gasoline, and as
matter of public interest and safety
ask that you give space to the en-
closed copy of the law regarding the
sale and handling Of gasoline, and ale
in preventing as far as possible these
ldeplorable accidents"

joyed Farrar in Carmen many times.

passes her previous efforts" The
