GERMAN NAVAL MEASURE
 IN NO SENSE A BLOCKADE Berlin Says No Hostile Act Against Neutral Ships Is Contan pIatad-

Berlin. via The Hague to London, Feb. S.-The naval measures of Ger many against British commerce are in no sense a blockade No hostile ac- tien against neutral shipping is con- templated- German submarines and warships win endeavor by every means in their power to avoid sinking American or other neutral ships and will take every precaution to avoid mistake being made.
 The proclamation of the waters around Great Britain as a war zone like similar British measures which were taken as 8 precedent, is design ed to warn neutralS that a shin ven turing into the naval field of opera tions exposes itself, in the same fashion as 8 civilian wandering on a land battlefield, to the risk of being struck by a chance shot.
 The above may be taken as the cor rect interpretation placed upon the German proclamation in competent circles in Berlin. It was stated today that it might be safely asserted that the Germans have no intention of sink Ing an American ship unless she is carrying contraband Of war, and then only if her crew can be given the pos stbility of escape. It was added how ever, that war measures will be carried out against British trade with all DOS sible severity in order ito give Eng land a. taste of her own medicine" The warning to neutral shipping. if was asserted, was considered as par ported order to British ships to hoist a neutral flag whenever they are in danger, an order which if adhered to- it was said, would make it difficult for, a German warship to discriminate be- tween neutral and hostile shipping.

 SUPERANNUATED ODD FELL oWs
Coroner Declares Testimony Sustained
 Nurse Mors' Statement.

Yonkers, N. Y, Feb. s.-Another hearing in his investigation of the statement made recently by Frederick
 Mors, a former nurse at tn 1nstitu- ton. that he had caused the death of eight inmates of the German Odd Eel lows home here, ito get them out of the way, was held tonight by Coroner nome were examined and after the hearing the coroner declared that the testimony addueed sustained in some measure Mors' statements. Until the bodies of one or more of the victims have been exhumed and analysed, however, he said it would be impossi- blo to obtain final corroboration
 Coroner Dunn said it seemed useless to him to exhume any of the bodies of the i've victims who died at the home since 1t was moved here from Union port, Bronx county. but he thought that results might be obtained if the Bronx officials who are Investigating the three deaths which occurred in Unionport would exhu1ne one or more of the bodies there.
 According to the statement attribut- ed to MorS, the Unionport victims were killed with poison internally ad- ministered. while the other five were put out of the way with an anesthetic The coroner believes that no trace Of poison would be found on the bodies of those who died here.
 The coroner states that his future of. Dr. NJ. s. Ggerory Of Bellevue hos pital on the present mental condition of Mors, who has been under observa- tion at the hospital. He expects to get the physicians report tomorrow, he said,

Tn none of the various bz&tlef1elds fin Europe has any appreciable progress been made by the armies opposing each other. The official statements give no information beyond references to what are now considered minor in cidents in the great war
 Comparative quiet reigns in France and F1anders, while the hundreds of thousands constituting the fighting forUes in Russian Poland, the Car pathiaus and East Prussia, seem to be still deadlocked in 8 series of des- perate engagements that has lasted for weeks past and has resulted in great losses
 The British parliament has taken I'D the matter Of army estimates, and has been asked by the British govern ment to gi re it a blank check for army purposes. 1t is expected that the par nament will vote nominal sum under each of the fftaen groups of expendi- lures and, If it does this. it will have voted supplies without limit for an army of s,060. 600 men to be accounted for when the war is over.
 Premier AsQuith In a statement be- fore the house of commons announced that the British casualties, including killed, wounded and missing, up to Feb. {. numbered 104.000.
 An indication that Italy is pursuing her policy of waiting and watching is found in a royal deeree just issued, which orders that soldiers of the sec ond category. classes of 1893 and 1894, shah be retained under the colors un- Il May 3I next. As service in the Italian army covers a period of 19 years, these men should have been re- turned to their homes. Second cate gQry recruits are regarded as belonging to the permanent army for the first eight years of service. They then pass to the mobile militia and after wards to the territorial militia. This term of military service is supposed to be finished at the age of S9 years.
 From Berlin comes the announce ment that the naval measures of Ger many against British commerce are In no sense a blockade; that no hostile action against neutral shipping is con tenpls-ted and that Germany's war ships will endeavor to avoid sinking American or other neutral ships, talk ing every precaUtion to that end.

ator Jones declared he would talk ur- til March 4. if it was physically pos stble and necessary in order to accom- plfsh the defeat of the bill
 Few senators on either side remain- ed in the chamber after 8 o'clock. leaders of both parties leaving guards to call for endorsements if neces- sary.
 Spent Night in Committee Rooms.
 Scores of senators made prepara- tions to spend the night in committee rooms adjacent to the senate chamber.
 Every phase of the country's polft- lcal and business situation was dis cussed by Senator Jones as the night grew on. He took up the presidents Indianapolis address and declared that a week ago last Friday, when the sen ate was in sesion all night on the bill the order had gone out from the captain of the team at the White House to pass this shipping bill that night"
 He insisted that the filibuster which he admitted the republicans were now conducting had been started by the democrats in their refusal to permit consideration of any other lezislatfon than the shipping bill for several weeks. Now, he said, they were try ing to put the measure through by brute force, but would be unable to accomplish their purpose.
 Senators Drift in at Midnight.
 Shortly after midnight, many sen- ators who had been attending dinners and theater parties, returned to the chamber i'll evening dress, to relieve those who had been on guard during the evening hours.
 The latter retired to the irnprovfsed bed chambers in committee rooms, leaving an order to be called should any effort be made to force the vote.
 That there would be no chance for a vote during the night was conceded by leaders of both sides and it was predicted that record breaking con hnuous session had been begun.
 Difficulty Keeping Quorum Present.
 Shortly before midnight Senator Fletcher interrupted Senator Jones to suggest the absence of quorum. 4 roll call showed fifty senators on the floor, although only half a dozen had been present when it began.
 Senators came from the cloak rooms, rubbing the sleep from their eyes
 Senator Reed made the point of or der that Senator Jones had lost the floor when he yielded to Senator Fletcher. Senator Ashurst, in the chair, overrUled the point and on an appeal the roll call showed only 27 senators present. At midnight another quorum call started and the sergeant -at-arns was instructed to seek absent sen- ators.

NARRATIVE OF MAN
 BURIED BY EARTHQUAKE
Saw No Light for 25 Days and Be-
 lieved He Was Blind.

Rome, Feb. 8. 11.45 3. n.-Few men have lived to tell a stranger tale than that of Michel CairoIO, who was extri- cated from the earthquake ruins at Peterino yesterday after havinb been imprisoned for p days without food. Cairolo is recovering from the effects of his eXperie0 ces, which he was able to describe today.
 ''When the earthquake occurred" he said, T attempted to escape, but found myself blocked within stable by the ruins. Beneath the stable a cellar was being excavated from the rocks. I made my way into this excavation and so avoided being crushed to death.
 f'FNrom the moment I entered the cellar I saw no more light and I be- 1ieved had become blind, as my mind could not conceive that the ruins cov- cred the cellar so completely as to prevent 9 single ray Of light from penetrating through. For a long time T cannot say how long-my despair increased until I became almost fren- zied. I shouted with all my strength until fell into an apathetic condition. almost like a coma This saved my life. for had I continued my desperate efforts to free myself, I must have died of exhaustion.
 By feeling about with my hards in the darkness I found a wet spot ard moistened my burning lips. This re- vived me and with my hands I dug a. hole in which water collected ard was able to drink.
 Thus I managed to exist until yes- terday I heard voices above me. I aroused myself to a supreme effort the cellar. Michel Cairolo.'
 Those above me came to my res cue and in about three hours I was free"

LARGEST MILITARY BUDGET
 iN HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN
Two More Days Allotted to Discussion
 of Army Estimate.

London, Feb. s, 9.07 D. m.-The in- troduction of the largest military bud get in the history of Great Britain shared the stage in the house of Com- mons today with discussion of the ac- tivities of the official press bureau.
 The task of introducing the bud get fell upon the parliamentary secre- tary of the war office. H. J. Remnant, as Earl Kitchener, secretary of war, is a member of the house of lords.
 Two more days have been allotted to the discussion of these army esti, mates which are called a ''blank check budget because the amounts of actual money which will be ex- pended under them are represented by normal figures.
 Under Secretary Remnants speech was 8 storing tribute to the British army and a plea for more recruits.
 Tt Is true" he said, that recruit ing thus far has been very satisfactory, but 1t varies from week to week and possibly at the present moment a little more energy put into recruiting would not be cut of place. There is no cause for discomfort, but we want more men. Every man will be needed in this great life and death struggle. The variations and vicissitudes of this way may yet call for even greater sacrifices from the nation than have yet been made"
 lie appealeo 10 CnS lapOr paQty to help organize the forces of labor, so that when a man went to join the colors his place would be adequately supplied.
 The press bureau discussion was brought on by a motion by Joseph King, Liberal, of North Somerset, that the action of the press bureau in re- stricting the freedom of the press and withholding information about the war, has guided by no clear principles and has been calculated to cause sus- pici0n and discomfort"

 'Tn the lower Bzura region we con- tinued to progress an don February ', having forced three successive rows of wire entaglements, we captured 8 strong German point of support near the cemetery of the village of ko- mioy, taking prisoners the remainder of the garrison, five officers and more than $50 soldiers.

AN INTERNATIONAL
 COURT OF PEACE.
John Hays Hammond Declares Public ity Would Have Prevented European War.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. S.-In the in- terests of an international court of peace. John Hays Hammond, Wash ington, chairman of the world court committee, and pr. John Wesley Hill, New York, president of the Interna- tfonal Peace Foundation, addressed the Indiana legislature here today.
 "Pubilicty is what is needed in inter- national affairs" said MT. Hammond. Publicity, we know, would have pre- vented the European war. That is evidenced by Germany's admission that the lineup of powers was far diff ferent from what she expected
 Dr. Hill said that armaments were no insurance of peace and urged the establishment of an international court of judicial settlement, with an navy, if necessary, to en- force its dscreeE.

Washington, Feb. administration forces of the senate succeeded late today in forcing the republicans and insurgent democrats back to the de- fensive in the fight over the govern ment ship purchase bill
 Accepting the inevitable, leaders of the opposition at once renewed their declaration of unrelenting war on the bill, to be continued. if necessary, un- til adjournment on March 1 and gen. eral debate was resumed in another protracted session which showed no sig of abatement at a late hour to- night.
 Democratic champions of the bill as- serted emphatically that the bill would not be withdrawn and that the great appropriation bills would be left un- ouched should the opposition unite in preventing vote on the pending measure. The president intimated to White House callers during the day that there was no thought of yielding to enemies of the proposed legisla- tion.
 Only Hope Is to Force Vote.
 Such situation, it was generally conceded, was almost certain to lead to an extra session of congress. The only way to ObV-iate this 1t was sug- gested. probably would be for the sen ate to adopt some form of cloture to force a vote on the ship bill but even
 
 to be very unlikely.
 Opponents Renew Debate.
 Republicans and the democratic in surgents had to renew the debate when Senator Fletcher offered a motion to re- commit the oill with instructions to the committee to report it with amendmens forthwith. When he sought to get a vote on his motion, an eff fort was made by the opposition to recess until tomorrow.
 Motion to Recommit Lost by One Vote.
 This motion was lost by a vote of 48 to 47, with Senator Kenyon the only absentee. Senators Norris and La Toilette voted against the recess, while Senators Clarke, Camden, Bank head, HardwicI1, Hitchcock, O'Gorman and Vardaman, the seven democratic revolters, stood solidly with the re- publican minority. Unable to recess or adjourn, the opposition again took up the task of talking the bill to death. Senator Lodge opened the discussion, declaring that no vote on the Fletcher motion would be permitted if it could be avoided.
 Senator Jones in Protracted Speech.
 When the night session was assured. Senator Jones, of Washington, who had been preparing fer such an emergency for more than a week, took the floor arid launched into a speech designed to e~tend throughout the night. Sen

Rights of Neutral
 Ship on High Seas
U. s. WILL VIGOROUSLY DEFEND
 ITS TRAVELLING CITIZENS.
IN PRESCRIBED ZONES
Today the Cabinet Will Take Up the German Notification Of Sea War zones-pipIomatic Cores spondence Likely to Follow.

Washington Feb. S-Informal dis cussion by President Wilson with his advisors of the German notification of the dangers to which neutral ships may be subjected in the newly pre- scribed war zones around Great Brit ain and Ireland and the use by the British liner Lusitania of the Amer ican flag, foreshadowed today q dip iomatic correspondence between the United States and both Germany and Great Britain respectively, on these questions.
 To Safeguard American Citizens.
 In each case the American govern ment because Of its neutrality cannot discus the rules which the belIigerents may adopt toward each other. The prescriptions of the war zone itself however, or the use of a neutral flag by belligerent- owned vessels as strategem of war has not given the American officials concern so much as the prospect that these acts may en- danger the lives of American citizens. whose right to travel on the high seas On neutral ships during time of war 1t IS intimated, will be vigorously de- tended. Pending receipt of the Ger man foreign office memorandum from Ambassador Gerard and a report of the Lusitania incident from AmbaSSa- dor Page, no action will be taken
 Tomorrow the situation will be fully uIScuSSeu al a meeI1nS O1 the president and his cabinet. Formal inquiries as to what steps the German naval com- manders will take to protect neutraIs travelling on merchant ships, and re- guess for information as to the use of American flags by British ships gen orally, it is understood, will follow
 Inquiries From Neutral Diplomats.
 Many of the neutral diplomats, amog them the ministers from The Nether- lands, Denmark and Italy, were at the state department today and to all in qu1r1eS as to the possible action of the American government in connec- ttion with the prohibited sea zones and the use of neutral flags aboard beIlig- erent merchant men, Secretary Bryan answered that these questions were still under consideration"
 While none of the neutral enyoys proposed joint action with the Ameri- can government, they sought informa- tion for the guidance of their own foreign offices. Chairman Flood and Representative Cline of the house foreign affairs committee also dis cussed the subject with Mir. Bryan, but afterward declined to talk of their visit.
 Creates Delicate Situation.
 It was apparent on all sides here that the German proclamation and the Lusitania incident had introduced a delicate situation, touching more close ly perhaps the position of neutraIs than any other occasion of the war In some quarters, where it was ad- mitted that no American statute or explicit rule of International law ex- ised to prevent the misuse Of a neU- tral flag by a beligerent vessel, Eng lands attitude toward certain articles Of the declaration of London was re- viewed with interest
