Germany Warns Neutral Ships
From North and West Coast
Of France; Decree Blockade

BERLIN (by wireless). Feb. .
Warning was given to neutral ship
ping today by the German admiralty
against approaching the north and
west coasts of France. This action
closely following the notice TO neu-
trail shipping TO avoid the coasts of
the British isles, is due. according TO
the admiralty, to the fact that the
Germans intend TO proceed with every
possible means against the British
transports carrying troops and sup
plies to France.
The admiraltyS communication, is
sued by the chief admiral of the Ger
man naval staff follows:
England Is on the eve of shipping
numerous troops and large quantities
of war materials to France. We Will
proceed with all means of warfare at
our disposal against these transports.
Peaceful shipping is earnestly
cautioned against approaching the
northern or the western coasts of
France, as this would threaten j. with
serious danger because the vessels
might be confounded with ships used
for warlike purposes.
THE route around Scotland (nOrth
of Scotland) is recommended as the
best track for the North sea-"

COURTS RULING MAY
AFFECT OTHER CASES
Precedent in BOWering Trial
May Cause Others to be Sub
mitted to Judge Alone.

Interest in the recent vice crusade
now is centered in tne probable dis
position of the other cases involving
the same facts as brought out I'm the
trial of Nell Bowering who was found
not guilty Thursday upon instructions
from Judge Ford. The states evil
dence in this case had been secured
by ]. II. Quilhot and two policemen
who went into the defendants saloon
and ordered drinks which were served
TO them in a back room.
1t is similar evidence secured by the
same men on which the state de-
pends for its case against John Macy.
Ferdinand Kemnitzer, @. II. Hayes,
proprietor of the Lafayette hotel,
Whitney w Brown, which cases are
set for trial in the superior court.
Similar cases are also on the circuit
court docket against Pierson Baker.
John Chapman. John Ramsey. Barney
RabinoVich and Isadore Rabin.
Inasmuch as the cases involve a
question of law rather than of facts.
according 10 the ruling of Judge Ford,
il is not improbable that some OF the
lawyers may agree TO submit the
cases to the court. The court Thurs
day settled the Bowering case on the
grounds that the facts were not suf-
ficient to prove q violation of the law
The instruction Of the court came be-
fore the defense had presented any
evidence TO show that money had not
been paid for liquor outside of the
barroom The court held that q sale
made in the barroom and an adjOin-
ing room could not be considered as
separate transactions.

a blockade of England and its warning
that ships of nom belligerents might
be endangered, it maintains its right
to take this step without any viola
tion of international law.
The admiralty's action is indorsed
by the Berlin newspapers today. They
assert that England's alleged order. TO
its merchant vessels to use the flags of
neutral nations was the direct cause
of the admiralty's declaration of a
blockade and hint that the failure of
the neutral countries 10 protest TO
England shows they are silently if not
actively supporting the allies.
AS TO the ability Of the German
submarines TO mainain a blockade of
England doubt is expressed in some
circles. The German naval critics
point to the activities Of the U-21 in
the Irish sea as evidence Of their
value in warfare against ships upon
which England depends for her sup
plies.
The attitude of the German admir-
atty may be summed up thus:
I'VE do not intend TO wage war up
on neutral ships. We hope that nCne
will suffer. but Germany is waging a
campaign against enemies who are
trying to throttle her commercial lib
erty and she must take the necessary
steps TO protect herself.
The warning issued by Germany
gives neutral ships plenty of time in
which to leave dangerous waters"
