Sunday Truce Broken When
Body Reconvenes Before
Noon; Smith Talks
BOTH SIDES ARE
VERY DETERMINED
Republicans Are Prepared
to Talk Until the End
of Present Session

Washington, d. c., Feb. 1.-When
the senate met today to resume con-
sideration of the government ship puT-
chase bill, the truce in the historic leg
islative contest over the measure WAS
declared off and democratic and repun-
lican senators alike, refreshed after
recess of thirty-four hours, were ready
to continue the fight anew. The truce
began at midnight Saturday, following
a continuous session lasting thirty-stx
hours and was terminated when the
senate reconvened today.
The democratic leaders have thrown
down the gauntlet to the republican
minority party by announcing that the
shipping bill would be continuously
kept before the senate from today.
The republicans promptly accepted
the challenge and declare they are
ready to meet any plan Of campaign
the democratic leaders may launch
Although the republicans assert that
democratic leaders already are show
ing indications of weakening, the lat
ter answer this by declaring that the
fight will be pressed home to the re-
publicans more vigorously this week
than heretofore and that the opposi-
ton will be forced to talk continuous
ly until the shipping bill reaches a
vote. They declare that three or four
days of continuous session will force
roll call on the bill and that there
after the measure will quickly be
brought to final disposition.
Republicans Lay Plans.
In line with their plans toadefeat
the bill If possible, the republicans
are preparing for continuance OF
their attacks on the measure. Many
republican senators are preparing to
speak on the bill for the first time and
in addition those who led the opposI-
ton are getting ready to talk again.
Despite this, however, the democratic
| leaders declare that with their parlla-
mentary advantage at this stage of the
contest they can soon break the dead
lock.
When the senate met today Senator
William Alden, Smith Of Michigan,
was ready to resume the speech he
had begun when a recess was taken
Saturday night.

Mr.. Mitchell's reference was to the

FORMER GERMAN OWNED SHIP

CAPTURE BY BRlTONs.

Galveston, Tex, Feb. 1.-The steam
er Dacia departed at noon yesterday

1900 bales of cotton, to be trans
shipped to Bremen.
Telegraphic orders to get under way
were received by Capt George McDon-
aid from E. N. Breiting of New York.
the owner In two hours the vessel
had taken on pilot and was outside
of the harbor.
The Dacia cleared Jan. %. Its de-
lay here is yet unexplained, and It's
agent and master said they did not
know why it was waiting. The Dac1a's
cotton cargo is valued by the shippers
at SSSO,O00, or 16 cents a pound laid
down in Bremen.
1t is not known IL the Dacia will
stop at Norfolk, Va, as planned, or go
direct to Europe.
Expect British to Seize Dacia.
Seizure of the steamer by Great
Britain Is expected, and will result IN
prize court proceedings and diplomatic
representations that may be OF far
reaching importance. Comment on the
Dacia incident in the British press has
been extensive.
Several days ago it was said that the
Dacia's departure was being delayed
until the arrival of package OF i'm
portant papers from New York.
No further explanation was given,
but it was surmised that the papers
referred to were proofs of transfer OF
ownership to be presented the British
authorities should the ship be de-

NO IMMEDIATE
ADVANCE in BREAD

Chicago, Feb. There will be no
Immediate advance in bread from five
to six cents loaf, it was announced
today, as a result of the stand taken
by large baking concerns which de-
clined to support the proposal of the
Master Bakers association.
Since the larger bakeries have not
raised prices, the smaller bakeries, it
was pointed out, must meet the COM
petition and the price maintained.
Representatives of several Of the
largest baking establishments said
there would be no advance in prices
for several days yet, if at all.
The high price of flour brought
about the threatened advance in bread
prices.

BRITISH BOATS
AFRAID TO SAIL
German Submarines Cause
Panic Among Shippers
in the Irish Sea
THREE MERCHANT
VESSELS ARE SUNK
Teutons Are Elated at the
Success Attending Their
Sortie Into the Ocean

Belfast, Feb. 1.-THE reports Of the
German submarine activity in the
Irish sea, followed by the sinking last
Saturday of three British merchant
steamers by the German undersea
boat "U-21,' has created deep Inn
preston in shipping circles in Belfast.
Nine steamers. which ply across the
north channel, have been held in port,
and fourteen colliers are remaining at
anchor.
Germans Are EIated.
Berlin, Feb. 1.-The German news
papers comment extensively on the
German submarine raid in British
home waters.
I'VE hope that the commercial war
now taken up by German submarines
in British home waters" says the
Tages Zeitung, will strike at the root
of the British trans-oceanic trade"
Captain Persius, the naval expert Ct
the Berliner Tageblatt, has this to say
of the event in his paper:
Especially remarkable is the thea
ter of new action. Hitherto the most
advanced point where our submarines
displayed activity was in the westerly
outlet OF the channel but henceforward
the English merchant navigation will
have to reckon with other German sub
marine dangers which it can only
avoid when it stops traffic"
The Post says sarcastically: I'VE
see that England's attempt to cut on
the supply of victuals by hindering all
foreign trade promises great success" !"
All the papers express enthusiasm
over the doings of the submarine as
ushering in the war upon Great Brit
aims commerce as heralded by Admir-
al Won TirpitZ. Attention is called
particularly to the fact that the "U-2l'
is operating a thousand miles from
her base, which is a greater radius OF
activity than hitherto was believed
possible The argument is advanced
that what already has happened to
small coasters, may now happen to
the great English liners.
French Are Indignant.
Paris. Feb. 1.-THE sinking Of the
British steamer Tokomaru in the Eng
llish channel off Havre by German
submarine, said to have been dore
without previous warning to enable
the crew to escape, has provoked an
outburst of Indignation in the French
press. All refer to the interview
credited to Admiral Won TirpitZ, the
commander in chief of the German
naval forces, in which war on mer-
chant ships by submarines was out
lined.
