Bremen, via London.-The Ameri-
can steamer Evelyn, which sailed
from New York, January 29, with a
cargo of cotton for Bremen, struck a
mine off Borkum Island, in the North
Sea. The vessel sank. Her Captain

Evelyn is the first American vessel to
meet with disaster as a result of the
seaware of the European nations. She
did not sink within the war zone in
cluded in the German Admiraltys de-
cree of February 4, which went into
effect. Borkum Island lies directly off
the German coast, at the mouth of the
Ems River, and is German territory.
The Evelyn was a single screw
steamship and was commanded by
Captain Smith. She belonged to A. H.
Bull & Co., of New York, and was
chartered by the Harriss, Irby & Voce
Cotton Co. to take a cargo of cotton to
Bremen. She was 252 feet long and
1,185 tons net. She was built in South

NATIONS SEND REPLY
GREAT BRITAIN AND GERMANY
ANSWER NOTE ON BLOCKADE.
NO SATISFACTION IN EITHER
Germany Insists Blockade Is Neees-
sary and Urges Convoy for Ships
England Refuses to Accept Respon.
sibiIity for Neutral Shipping.

Berlin, Germany (via London), Feb.
2O.-The reply of Germany to the pro-
test of the United States against a
blockade of British waters is couched
in the most friendly terms, but firmly
maintains the position of Germany
as already announced.
The note explains that Germany's
proposed action is rendered necessary
by Great Britain's policy of attempt
ing to cut off the food supply for the
German civil population by method
never recognized in international law.
England's course in ordering mer-
chantmen to fly neutral flags and
equipping them with artillery, with or
ders to destroy submarines, the Ger
man reply contends, renders nugatory
the right of search
Germany holds that she cannot
abandon that right under the stress
which England has put upon her
Since Germany must compel the
nations with which she is at war to
return to the recognized principles of
international law and restore the free
dom of the seas, she argues that the
stand she has taken is necessary.
The note recommends that the
United States government send war.
ships to England to convey merchant
vessels through the danger zone, with
the understanding that vessels thus
guarded shall carry no war supplies.
Hope is expressed that the Ameri-
can government will understand the
position in which Germany has been
placed and appreciate the reasons for
it's course.
The German government feels itself
obliged to point out with the greatest
emphasis that a traffic in arms. esti-
mated at many hundreds of millions,
is being carried on between United
States firms and Germany's enemies.
Germany is ready to deliberate with
the United States concerning any
measure which might secure the safe
t. of legitimate shipping of neutrals
in the war zone.

BLOCKADE NOW ON
GERMANS OPEN THREATENED
SEA CAMPAIGN.
British Guard Coasts to Prevent Land

Held In Ports.

London, Feb. 19.-The German
proclamation of a maritime war zone
about the British isles is in effect,
and the full force Of that country's s
submarine destructiVeness is supposed
to have been loosed in an effort to
isolate Great Britain and ruin its ship
ping commerce.
AS a result military law has super
seded civil in practically all the coast
cities and districts to prevent any pos
sible attempt on the part of the Ger,
mans to land troops.
The Germans in their blockade ef,
fort did not wait for the stroke OF
midnight to begin their campaign.
They started, or rather they continued
their previous efforts on Tuesday eve
ming at six o'clock, when they torpe'
doed and sent to the bottom the Brit
ish steam collier Dulwich, whose crew
of 81, with the possible exception OF
two, escaped solely by their own eff
forts. The attack was delivered at a
point 20 miles northeast of Cape
Heve, in the English channel.
Shortly after the destruction of the
Dulwich a German submarine blew VI
and destroyed the French steamer
Vile de Lille, off Barfleur, the crew
saving themselves in the ten minutes
allotted them by the German com
mander.
A statement by the French ministry
of marine announcing this fact con
tains the information that the sub
marine, which is believed to have been

GREAT BRITAIN's ANSWER.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The text Of
the British governments reply to the
American protest against British in

The British government refuses to

WHAT LEGISLATORS ARE DO
ING AND OTHER HAPPENINGS
BY o. A. DONOVAN.

Special Columbus Correspondent.
n LANS of the state administration
to shake up liquor license COM
missions all over Ohio are regard
ed here as an admission on the
part of the administration forces that
the license ripper bill probably will be
tied up by a referendum and that the
present license machinery thus will
remain operative until after the next
November election. 1t is thought to
be upon this assumption that the gov
ernor is planning to make a clean
sweep Of the present license dispens-
ers in the counties since, if present
things are allowed to take their
course, appointees of the Cox admins
tration will hold their jobs for many
months to come. In the general as
sembly the liquor fight still looks like
a deadlock. If the McDermott decen-
tralization bill does go through, it will
be by a bare majority vote only and
thus will be subject to a referendum
vote. And opponents of decentraliza-
tion have virtually prepared to circu-
late petitions to procure the referen-
dunn. Naturally, therefore, the situa-
tion must move slowly, and it looks as
II Gov. Willis is ready to take the bull
by the horns and replace the Cox ap-
pointees by appointees of his own
choosing. Anti-Cox Democrats here
aver that they will be recognized when
the distribution of favors is made, and
this claim is having the effect of in
citing organization Democrats to a
sort of frenzy. The latter charge that
the aim of appointing anti-Coxites
would be to promote the division of
the Democratic party, and to this
charge the True Democracy" people
reply that quite similar purpose
anent the Republican party was the
controlling motive when former Gov
Cox named Progressives on boards
and commissions during his regime.
The governor is neither admitting nor
denying officially the report that he
will name only anti-Cox Democrats to
bipartisan boards and commissions,
but the prevailing belief in political
circles is that the organization Demo
Gratis will have mighty little show for
patronage during the present regime.
