What a Single Torpedo Costs

The torpedoes now being used in the British navy cost from SS500 to S5000 to construct, according to a naval expert. Even the newest Brit ish torpedoes are less expensive than those used by the latest German sub- marines, which have a diameter of q inches, and travel at a speed of AS knots an hour, having an effective range of seven miles. The internal mechanism includes a high speed rot ating engine, and gears, and 25O lbs. of high explosives.

FRENCH
POUND
PRILEP

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 25.-Hop-
ing to relieve the pressure on
their Serb comrades, French ar
tillerymen are pounding Prilep, in
south central Serbia, heavily to-
day.
They have withdrawn from Va
dar enough forces to enable the
southern Serbians to move north
ward. 1t is believed the Bulgar-
ians will stand on the defensive
until the central allies can come to
their aid.
Farther southwest the Bulgars
are reported to have been badly
beaten with enormous losses.
What the Serbians, nearly
hemmed in on the plain Of Black
bird, are doing Is a mystery. Sofia
dispatches said these forces are
so badly disorganized by recent
captures that there can be nc
great battle.
Reports that the Montenegro
and Serbian capitals have been
transferred to Scutari are taken
to mean that the forces of the
two countries will consolidate.

CRISIS
AT end

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Gre
clan crisis seemed to be at an end
today.
Greece has satisfied the allies
and will not interfere with them
under any circumstances and the
allies think she has yielded suffi-
GENTLY to guarantee the safety of
their expedition into the Balkans.
An Athens message to the Ex-
change Telegraph said today:
Greece is friendly. 1t NETS the
allies demands and gives all guar
antee which are considered essen
tial."
Other press reports declared
Greece has agreed to allow the al
lies freedom of action on Greek
soil, and particularly not to dis
arm or inferno any allied forces
compelled to retreat across the
Greek boundary from the Balkan
fighting.
In their turn the allies are
stated to have agreed to restore
any Grecian territory they might
occupy and reimburse Greece for
this occupation subsequently.

NO REPLY FROM GERMANY
 TO AMERICAN NOTE
German Adnniralty's Proclamation on
 Sea War Zone Effective Today.

Washington, Feb. 17.-SecretaTy Bryan said late tonight that no reply had been received from Germany to the American note concerning sub marine attacks on belligerent merchant ships in the new sea zones of war un- der the German adlniraltys procIama- tion which goes into effect tomorrow. If a reply to the representations of the United States had been delivered in Berlin to Ambassador Gerard, the state department had not been apprised of that fact.
 While officials at the White House and state department did not dis cuss what might be done if any Amer ic,3n vessels or lives should be lost in the war zones, it was admitted on all sides that the situation was fraught with many grave possibilities.
 Ambassador Gerard's despatches con tinue to give the text Of anti-Ameri- can editorials being printed in semi official papers in Germany. Officials of the Washington government, how eVer were confident of the rights of the Washington government and point ed out that a position similar to that of the United States had been adopted by practically all the other neutraIs of the world
 Representative of the German gov ernment are entirely friendly in thir conferences with Ambassador Gerard
  fcially there has been any change in the good relations which have hitherto existed. The manner of carrying cut the submarine campaign is awaited here with considerable anxiety It was; hoped that on account of the fact that negotiations were still pending with neutral governments, the German pro- claniattDn would not actually be car ried into effect for a few days, aI- though scheduled to be put into force at midnight tonight. Many American vessels will be in the war zones in the next few days, having left the United States before the German proclamation was made public
 It is suggested that the threatened British retaliation for the German war zone order may be the issue of a mo- tice of F blockade of the German coast In that case not even an Amer icilIl man -o-lVaU would have the right to pass the blockade lines aton much less with d convoy of merchant ships. Formal notice by the British of the blockade and recognition uf it bE the United States would of course at once remove from the field of diplomatic negotiations all questions relating to the right of neutral nations to send cargoes of food to the civil population of the bl0ckadPd state.

AMENDED SHIP BILL
 AT STANDSTILL IN SENATE.
Fails to Satisfy Insurgent Democrats
 or Progressive Republicans.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The amended ship purchase bill. rushed through the house early today failed to gain srUund when 1t reached the senate and administration leaders tonight were in doubt as to it's fate.
 Early in the day 1t was discoy that the amended bill had failed to sat lSfv recal lcitTant democrats or progress sive republicans. Without support of either of these factions. it could not be passed. h this situation the regular democratic leaders realized that noth- ing could be done until some change in the measure could be effected in conference, but all their efforts to send the amended pill to conference failed. Another attempt will be made tonOr- TOW, and then the republican leaders, w1o insist the bill is dead. are expect ed to demand an understanding that appropriation bills will be taken up before they cease their opposition
 Interest ceEtered today in the special senate committees inquiry into charges of outside influences concern ing the ship measure. At the first of the hearings Bernard \. Baker of Baltimore formerly connected with the Atlantic Transport company, told the committee of conferences with Secre- tary of the Treasury AIcAdoo in which he told the secretary that so per cent of the foreign ships tied up in Ameri- can ports DeCauSe of the war could not De COISEueTeu al :IN:LltdDIe TOT DuTC0dSS by the United States for freight ser vice because they were passenger Tes- Sels. Mir. Baker also stated that W. J. Sic1eI. an official Of the Hamburg American lnc. had told him he had re- ceived orders from the German gov erament not to sell any German ves- sels in American ports to the United States.
 This testimony prompted the con- m:ttee to summon MT. SicEel, who will appear tomorrow. Wallace Downey. a New York shipbuilder, also has been summoned.
 Late in the day administration lead CTS held q long conference and Post master General Burleson discussed with them appropriation bills to be taken up in case the ship bill goes over to conference or is pigeonholed. No agreement was req ached, but many sen ators believed that the work of grind ing out appropriat ton bills would be undertaken within the next day or two.
 Despite She uncertainty of the situa- ton. boJn senate and house leaders expressed confidence that there would be no extra session of congress. The report persisted that as many of the supply measures as can be passed be- fore March i will be disposed of and that joint resolutions continuing exist ing appropriations for other depart mcnts win be adopted wherever neces- Sary.
