Chairs Address

Then President Hersey saw that
something must be done at once to
clear up the disagreement and con-
sequently rose in his high place in
the Senate and delivered the following
speech:
Before we proceed with the usual
order Of business, as question of the
highest privilege, the Chair lays be
fore the Senate a matter that demands
the immediate attention of the Legis-
lature.
The State by virtue Of a statute, and
under competitive bids has a contract
for the state printing and binding that
expires next July. Under that contract
the kennebec Journal Company of
Augusta are the state printers. and the
Maine State Bookbinding Company Of
the same place are the state binders.
This contract fixes the price for all
work. both usual, extra and overtime >
so called.
During the session of the legislature
the legislative printing and binding, of
necessity. has always been under the
charge of the Legislature and its regular
officers. The legislature has always con-
sidered itself to be the sole constitutional
judge Of the necessity, character. guam
THY. and time limit of its printing and
binding. and its determination of these
questions has always been deemed TO be
final and not subject to the review Of
any other department Of government.
The State printing and binding is the
most important part of the machinery
necessary to carry on the prompt work
of the Legislature. The proceedings of
today. in both houses, must be printed
and in the hands Of the legislature to-
morrow. All important public bills pre-
scented are printed before they go TO
the committees. All reports of COM
rni.tees received must be printed before
they can be further considered, and re-
ports received today should be printed
and OF the desks of the members to-
morrow morning. Re-printing of bills.
documents and measures are being con-
stantly demanded, and these must be
printed and delivered promptly to be of
use to the legislature.
This great mass of printing and bind
ing necessitates, not only that the state
printer and binder shall work their
whole force during the usual hours, but
frequently the work of the legislature
demands an additional force and extra
overtime, so-called. and work sometimes
through the night, and even Sundays
Later on in the session, the state printer

London. Feb o-10.45 j. M.-DuT-
ing the last few days the Germans
have been making desperate efforts to
break the deadlock which has existed
for so long on both the eastern ana
western fronts.
They have delivered q series of at
tacks. always preceded by artillery
activity on the allied lines IN t1an-
ders and France, and while in almost
every case they have thus won q
preliminary advantage before the
fighting was concluded the French,
British or Belgians have been able to
regain the trenches temporarily lost
and in some cases, TO occupy the Ger
man positions.
German Losses
In these attacks, according to the
reports of the British and French
general stats, the Germans have suf-
fered severe losses.
The German artillery has been sub
jectiug the Belgian positions IN Fan
ders to a severe bombardment, which
suggests that the moment has arrived
for another effort to get across the
User and thence to the French coast
ports.
In return the French have lombard
ed the railway station at Noyon. one
of thhe German military centers, be-
hind their advanced lines.
More serious attacks however, have
been made against the Russian lines in
central Poland. Faced by thanking
movements, both north and south,
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg made
a desperate effort. which apparently is
to be renewed, TO break through to
Warsaw and thus not only gain IA
great military and political advantage
for Germany, but at the same time
release the pressure on Hungary and
East Prussia. in each of which re-
gions the Russian troops are slowly
pushing forward.
The fighting to the west and south
west of tbs Polish capital has been of
most desperate character and the Ger
mans were at first successful. but the
Russian official report declares that the
Russians by counter attack regained
most Of the lost ground. The report

GRAIN, FLOUR
CARCOES May
Be SEIZED BY
CT. BRITAIN

Washing1 on, Feb. 2-Ambassador Page
at London cabled the state department
today that the British fleet had been or
dered 10 treat cargoes of grain and flour
destined for Germany or Austria as con-
ditional coutraband subject TO seizure
and contiscation This step, the amhas-
sador explained. followed the announce
ment that the German government had
decreed conhscation OF all grain and flour
10 conserve the nations food supply.
Since the publication of the German
order the ambassador here Count Won
Bernslorf, has virtually assured the
American government that no foodstuffs
imported from the United States or other
neutral countries would be subject TO
seizure. and press dispatches have an
nounced the issuance Of a modifying de-
cree making such exemptions by the
German government.
Wilheinina Exception
Ambassador Page said the British gov
eminent had Informed him that because
the steamship Wilhelmina, now bouad
from New York for Hamburg with gram
and other food, had sailed before the
issuance of the German decree an excep-
ton would be made in her case.
The vessel would be seized, il was said
but she would be released and her cargo
purchased at invoice price by the Brit
ish government. The warning was Civ
en-, however, that other shipments here
after OF like character when destined for
Germany. directly or indirectly, would
be seized as well as the vessels carrying
them. without compensation being paid
This announcement put an entirely new
complexion on the negotiations that have
been in progress internationally since the
beginning OF the war in regard to the
right of neutral ships to ship food sup
plies to helllgerent countries. In the note
to Secretary Bryan regarding the Daca,
il was stated that the conclusion had
been reached 10 interfere with such slip
ments provided they were intended for
the non-combatant elements of the pop
'ulation and not for the army or govern,
ment of the beIligerent state with which
England was at war. II was intimated
then. however, that the exceptional con-
ditions Of the present war might war
rant some such action as an act of retail
tation.
