TO DECLARE FOOD STUFFS
FOR GERMANY -CONTRABAND
Great Britain Takes Firm Stand on
Protest of United
States.

London, Feb 22.-The cargo of the
American steamer Wilhelmina will be
held by the British government pend
ind decision of the prize court.
And British merchant vessels will
continue to use the American flag, or
any other flag, whenever they think it
necessary to do so to escape destruc-
ton by the Germans
If this results in destruction Of an
American vessel by German sub
marine, the United States government
must look to Germany-not to Eng
land-for redress.
This announcement was made on
Friday by Sir Edward Grey, foreign
secretary.
In a memorandum relating to the
controversy between Great Britain
and the United States over foodstuffs
it is made clear that Great Britain
intends to declare all foodstuffs for
Germany contraband.
The foreign Office transmitted to
Ambassador Page it's reply to the
American protest against a general
use by British merchant vessels OF
the American flag.
The note admits that the Cunarder
Lusitania on her most recent voyage
from New York to Liverpool raised
the American flag, but only ito save
passengers"
It denies that it is the intention
of the British government to advise
British merchant vessels to use for
eign flags, but makes It clear that the
use of foreign flags will be permitted.
The note defending the practice cites
the fact that the United States used
the British flag for like purpose
during the Civil war
Two ships were blown up in the
Germans war zone, one of them a
neutral vessel.

took to the boats. Nothing has been
heard from them.
The French steamer Dinorah was
torpedoed without warning by a Ger
man submarine believed to be the
U-16. a few miles from the French
port of Dieppe. The torpedo failed
to sink the Dinorah, but stove in a
plate below the water line. The
steamer was towed into Dieppe. A
fleet of French destroyers was dis
patched from Cherbourg in search OF
the submarine.
After the torpedoing Of the Dinorah
1t was announced by the admiralty
that sea traffic between England and
the continent would be discontinued
Immediately. Sailing of passenger
boats were cancelled, although mail
service continued.

Washington, Feb 24.-The senate
naval committee decided to enlarge
the submarine arm of the sea defense
Of the nation. In calling up the army
appropriation bill on Monday Senator
Chamberlain declared in favor of
moderate army Of from $4,000 to 1885,
900 men and said any further reor-
ganization of the army must go over
to the next congress.
The naval committee increased the
number of submarines of the seago-
ing type from the one provided In the
house to five, each to have surface
speed of not less than twenty knots
and to cost, exclusive of armor and
armament, $1,400,O00. The II sub
marines, at a cost of not to exceed
$3.50, 900 each, exclusive of armor and
armament, provided by the house was
increased to Is.
The house appropriation of 100000
for the aviation corps was increased
to $1,00O,00O
The senate committee agreed with
the house in abolishing the "plucking
board" but provided that half of the
total service of every naval officer
must be spent in actual sea duty.
The demand of the intermountain
country for an adequate navy was
voiced by Senator Smoot of Utah in
an amendment which would apprc-
pirate $30,000,000 for the construction
of so submarines of the seagoing
type to have a surface speed of not
less than rs knots and Is submarines
for coast defense work to cost not to
exceed $550,000 each, exclusive Of ar

Smoot, that submarines are invalu-

Military critics OF Europe are al
most unanimously of the opinion that
Warsaw must fall, and that within a
very short time. If it does fall and
the Russian army makes good its re-
treat before it is overwhelmed by the
victorious Teutons, what possibilities
will the new situation present?
Before a suggestion can be at
tempted, it must be realized that the
least the fall OF Warsaw can mean,
aside from the capture of an i'm
portant railroad center, and manu-
featuring city, is the retirement OF
the whole western front OF the Rus
and the Bug. The Russian line will
then be Strengthened out and materi-
ally shortened by the fattening out
of the Warsaw salient. "A further
German advance could probably
therefore be checked, provided the

troops occupying the huge salient
which has Warsaw as a center Were
the Teuton attack to be made against
Kavel, further to the east, where the
attacking troops would have behind
them the excellent system of Galician
railways radiating from Lemberg, It
would be too far from Warsaw to
close in upon it in time to reap the
benefits OF his success. Moreover, to
attack Kovel would mean that the
supply columns would have to- skirt
around the Bug on an arc, as the
banks of that river are lined with
marsh belts which make its crossing
a matter OF grave difficulty. The
Germans are, therefore. taking the
shortest and most direct route, and
the route which, if they succeed, will
be most prolific of results.

OWNERS OF GAS WELL
ARE PLANNING TO DRILL
Members of Firm of Clark Brothers
& Klein Visit This City the
First of the Week

A. C. Klein, p. w. Clark and D. D.
McPhee, of the firm of Clark Brothers
& Klein, of Spokane, who own the big
natural gas well in this county, were
in Kennewick Monday between trains
on their return from visit to the
well. Although the men had but lit
tie to say regarding their plans it is
understood that they expect to soon
close negotiations with drillers for
sinking a 3O00-foot test well.
The gas is flowing from the well as
strong as ever and the owners have
every reason to believe that it is fed
from underlying petroleum deposits.
Mr.. Klein stated that the delay in get
ting started has been due to the finan-
cial Tightening up occasioned by the
European war.
