LONDON. Feb. 23.-Another Ameri-

coast while third Norwegian steam

Two British steamers have suffered a

Stayed Offensive.
On land. the allies in the west have
again stayed their offensive. which
had as its object the relieving Of the
pressure on Russia. The belief i'm
military circles here Is that Russia
has been able TO check the Austro-
German offensive operations al either
end OF the long line. and that there
tore the necessity no longer existed
Tor the allies to make their effort be-
fore they were fully prepared.

Without dissenting vote the Senate

600, while the House aided in clearing
up legislation for the session neartu :
close by passing the $4,000. 600 for.
tihcations bill.
The only debate on the army bill

tanned
An all day discussion OF the national
defense marked the passage OF the
fortihcations bill in the House. Rep
resentatiye Sherley of Kentucky, in
charge of the measure, declared there
was no danger OF American fortihcs-
tons being destroyed by a hostile
fleet: that the feet of an enemy would
not seek to reduce fortresses II il had
control of the sea and would not waste
ammunition shooting from a range OF
2l,OO0 yards.
Cost too Great
Mr.. Sherley admitted that there
might be danger Of bombardment of
some cities. but insisted that the cost
OF fortifying all coast cities would be
too tremendous TO consider.
Representative Butler OF Pennsyl-
yGnia. insisted that American trading
death zone and that even the de-
ftruction Of such vessels should not
be permitted to involve the nation in
war.
The House appropriation commit
tee completed the general deficiency
bill, the last OF all the annual supply
measures OF Congress. The estimates
covered in the bill aggregated
S9.OOO.0OO from which considerable
cut was made. The bill probably will
be reported tomorrow.
Following disposition of the army
