BRITAIN ACCEPTS CHALLENGE
OF GERMANY's BLOCKADE

LONDON, Feb. &
England today accepted Germany's
challenge. The Admiralty dehed the Kali
ser and dared the German sea lords to
put to test their latest threat to stHrVe
out England by sinking all merchantmen
of belllgerent nations that approach Brit
ish ports after February is.
Admiralty officials went into conference
early today What they discussed was a
closely guarded secret. But II was re-
ported on reliable authority that orders
for part of the English fiotilla OF de-
stroyers to datach itself from the North
Sea feet and report for duty In waters
nearer home will be Issued before night
fall.
Part OF this destroyer feet II is expect
ed, will be assigned the task of sweeping
the seas for German submarines Others
will be detailed to convoy merchantmen
after February 1S, when the German Ad-
miralty decree becomes effective, until
such time as the Admiralty is positive
that the German under-sea terrors no
longer menace shipping 1t Is possible
that a few British cruisers OF the Royai
type will be assigned to convoy duty TO
allay the fears of timid ship owners
Admiralty officials frankly declared the
latest German threat bluff They said
It cllmaxed a series of official statements
from the German Government that indi-
Gated that the Kaiser's ADVISERS are pc
coming desperate Neither Admiralty
oficials nor representatives of the big
shipping interests would concede for
moment that Germany could carry out Its
threat to shut off EnEland's food supplies.
The English nation turned It's eye TO.
ward America today. What the United
States will say to the German Adnliralty's
announcement that neutral ships may be
endangered by German submarines was
considered only secondary In Importance
to the German proclamation itself
That the United States will make formal
protest against tie German decree upon
its receipt at Washington Is deemed GER
tain here. Admiralty officials professed
confidence today that neither America
nor any of the other strong neutral Pow
ers would respect what they called a
paper blockade" OF the British coast.
In some quarters it was suggested that
the United States nigh Join with other
neutral Powers in formal protest to

OF attempting to influence Jurors serving

day.
The charges against the policemen who

Porter calls the "moTals squad" followed
the complaint OF Policeman Nees, OF tho
squad, that the squad was Disseminated
against by the courts tipstaves.
Nee's ire was aroused when one OF the
court officers elected him from seat In
the space reserved for lawyers He strode
angrily to the bar Of the court and com.
plalned to Judge MacNellle:
"The members OF the vice squad are
always put out OF those seats. I know
those chairs are for the attorneys, but
many persons not lawyers are permitted
to occupy them, while members of tho
vice squad are put out and told to take
seats In other parts OF the room"

cautionary measures with members of

FOES B0MBARDMENT DRIVES
AUSTRIANS OUT OF TARNOW
Vienna Admits Evacuation; Also
Pressure at Dukla Pass.

VIENNA, Feb. 3.
Today's official report admits the evac-
uation of Tarnow as the result of a heavy
Russian bombardment with mortars. II
is further stated that decisive battle is
being fought in the region of Dukla,
where strong Russian pressure is felt in
the direction Of Dukla Pass and neigh
boring passes. The fighting in the Car
pathians is being seriously interfered with
by the deep snow.
Vigorous operations around Tarnow
have been going on for some time. An
official dispatch from Vienna, January 30,
said that attempts of the Russian Cali
clan army to outflank Archduke Joseph
Ferdlnand's army, near Nowy Sandec,
and attack Cracow by way of Tarnow,
had led to a offensive by the
Archduke against Tarnow which threat
ened the rearward communications of the
Russians in Galicia and in the Carpa-
thlans
Tarnow, a town of some 10000 inhabit-
ants, Is on the Biala River, short dis

nations was the direct cause of the Ad-

German naval critics point to the activi-
ties of the Ue2t in the Irish Sea as eVl.
dence OF their value in warfare against
sbins upon which England depends for
The attitude OF the German Admiralty
may bo summed up thus; -.
1--WE do not intend 60 wage war upon
neutral ships. We hope that none win
suffer, but Germany is waging cam
paisn against enemies who are trying 10
throttle her commercial liberty and IL
must take the necessary steps to protect
itself. -,
"The warning issued by Germany gives
neutral shipping plenty OF time In whleh
TO leave dangerous water"
The statement, declaring war zone
issued by the German Admiralty rs:
"The waters around Great Britain ana
ireland, including the whole hnglsh
Channel, are declared n war zone from
and after February IS, 1915.
EVERY enemy ship found In TINS war
zone will be destroyed, even II II is I'M
possible to avert dangers which threaten
the crew and passengers.
Also. neutral ships In the war zone are
I'm danger as in consequence OF the mis-
use of neutral flags ordered by the
British Government ON January 81, and in
view of the hazards Of naval warfare IL
cannot always be avoided that attacks
meant for enemy ships shall endanger
neutral ships.
"Shipping northward, around the Shet-
land Islands, in the eastern basin OF the
North Sea, and in strip of at least 30
nautical miles In breadth along the
Dutch coast, Is endangered in the same
way"
The reference in the Admiralty com
municatlon to misuse of neutral flags
Is we'll understood in Berlin. There has
been published in Germany recently what
purpurts to be secret order Issued by
the British Admiralty to British mer-
chant ships instructing them to make Use
of neutral flags and all the German pa
pers are referring to this alleged order.
