WARNING GIVEN GERMANY AND
 BRITAIN AMERICAN PROPERTY
 AND LIVES WILL BE PROTECTED
Notes Sent Two Govern ments Says Each Will Be Held to Strict Account ability for Acts of Naval Authorities
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Feb 11.-Publi- night of the texts of the notes sent yesterday to Great Britain and Ger have been warned in the most em- phatic terms against menacing yes sels or lives of American citizens traVersing the recently proclaimed zones of war. Germany has been advised that the United States will be constrained to hold the imperial government to strict accountability for such acts of it's naval authori- ties as might result in the destruc- tiOn of American vessels or the loss of American lives" and that If such a deplorable situation should arise" the American government would take any steps that might be nec- essary to take to safeguard Ameri- can lives and property"
 To Great Britain the United States pointed out the measure of respOn- sibility" which seems to be imposed on the British government for the loss of American vessels and lives in case of attack by a German naval force if England sanctioned the general misuse of the American flag by British vessels and thereby cast doubt upon the valid character of the neutral ensign.
 The two communications were to have hpau nreSppt cd today rpSnapti- = vely to the British government by Ambassador Page and the German foreign office by Ambassador Gerard. They were prepared by Counsellor Robert Lansing and revised by the president and Secretary Bryan after consultation with the entire cabinet. (Continued on Page Three)

GERMAN SUBMARINE
 ATTACKS BRITISH BOAT
Steamer Laertes By Adroit Maneuvering and 7 Fast Steaming Escapes Shots and Torpedoes While Flying the Dutch Flag
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcH1


 YUMIDEN. Netherlands, Feb. H. German submarine U-2 yesterday at tempted to torpedo the British steamer Laertes which arrived here today from Java. The vessel escaped by adroit maneuvering and fast steaming. When attacked the Laertes flew the Dutch flag. The attack was made between the Mouse lightship and the Schouwen Bank.
 The submarine fired several shells damaging the steamers funnel, com passes and upper deck. As this did not induce the captain to stop, the submar- inc tried unsuccessfully to torpedo the ship.
 The Dutch government will make an investigation because it is said the at tack occurred within Dutch territorial waters
 The Laertes when challenged by the submarine was not displaying her na- tionality. When asked to stop the yes sel flew the Dutch flag but this did not prevent the Germans, according to the ships officers from firing on the steamer and attempting to sink her The captain of the Laertes said he flew the Dutch flag to save his crew which consisted of subjects of neutral states including Norway and China.

LONDON, Feb. 11.-Battle is follow ing battle on the eastern front where Russia singlehanded is fighting the forces of Germany. Austria and Tur- key. The Russians have held their lines agoinst Field Marshal Won Hin denburg's army which attempted last week to break through to Warsaw and apparently also checked the Austro- German offensive in the Carpathians. They are now forced to defend the po sitions they won in East Prussia and Northern Poland.
 The Germans, transferring men and guns by their splendid strategic rail- ways, have assumed the offensive on the East Prussian border and on the right bank of the Lower ViStula in the district of Sierpe which the Russians recently occupied.
 Calm continues along the western front except for an unusually severe engagement in Argonne and another in Alsace where the Germans claim to have been successful although the French say they regained ground tenn porarily abandoned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The state department was officially advised that CarranZa ordered Jose Caso, Spanish minister to Mexico to leave the country within twenty-four hours from midnight of February 10, because of the alleged refuge given Angel De Caso, a Span ish subject. The Spanish minister left Mexico City for Vera Cruz immediate ly after being ordered to depart. He insisted that De Caso was at no time in the Spanish legation, but declined to reveal his whereabouts.
 Secretary Daniels tonight instructed the commander of the battleship Della ware, now at Vera Cruz harbor, to take the Spanish minister on board his vessel. Secretary Bryan tonight cabled Consul Canada at Vera Cruz to render all aid possible to the Spanish minister.
 CarranZa in his deportation order to the Spanish minister, a copy of which was received by the state department, announces that "no offense to the

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Bel gian people are simply crazy about American pork and beans, according to Captain Lucey, the first member of the commission of relief for Bel gium, to return to this country.

COMPROMISE T0 DEFEAT THE
 F|L|bUSTER
Proposal Is Put Forward to Pass Shipping Bill Terminating Govern ment's Shipping Business Activity in Two Years
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcH1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-A com promise proposal designed to extri- cate the administration ship purchase bill from the deadlock in the Senate, and to avert an extra session, was put forward tonight by house demo- crats through Representative Kitchin of North Carolina, chosen majority leader for the next house. The new plan. proposing the passage of the skipping bill as a temporary emerg- ency measure, and terminating the governments activity in the shipping business two years after the close of the European war, developed while the senate marked time with both opponents and supporters of the measure sparring for an advantage.
 Adjournment of the senate tonight advanced the plans of the democratic leaders to force a cloture rule that would end the determined filibuster. An effort to adopt some such rule will be made tomorrow
 As announced by Kitchen. the com promise contemplates the passage through the house next week of a compromise bill suggested by Senator Gore with an amendment limiting the governments activity. Despite the presidents announced determination to stand by the bill now before the senate in it's present form, Kitchen said house leaders. anxious to avoid an extra session, proposed to put this measure before the senate and give the president an opportunity to ac- cept it in event of the total failure of the pending bill
 The desire of both republicans and democrats in the house and senate to avoid an extra session. Kitchen said. probably would give the proposed plan sufficient support to get it through before March 4.

Dwindling Majority Passes Labor Bill; Big Jag of New Bills in Senate; Ad- club Bill Introduced by Rep. Merrill

By a vote of twenty-one to twelve the Powers prohibition bill was re- commended for passage by the house committee of the whole yesterday afternoon. But that vote does not accurately represent the sentiment of the house with respect to the bill which was probably represented in the following vote by which a motion to recommend the indefinite post ponement of the bill was defeated:

He said his diplomatic communication with Luxemburg has been cut off by the German military commander at Trier (Treves) who refused to permit his letters to pass because they were sealed with the seal of the American legation.

RAILROAD MEN
 PLEASED OVER !. |. |. |. RULING
Middle West and Pacific Coast to Profit by New Commodity Rates at EX- pense of Inter Mountain States
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATCHl


 CHICAGO. Feb. Manufacturers shippers and railroad men united in declaring that the Pacific coast and middle west alike will benefit enormously from the ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission au- thorzing rates on certain articles from cast of the Missouri river to the Pacific coast lower than on the same articles to inter mountain points. Water competition fostered by the Panama Canal, they said had threatened to throw upon the middle west a burden it couldn't bear as against the seaboard manu- facturer. Today's ruling is counted upon to keep the coast markets open to middlc-west competitors to the advantage of producers and GUS toner's
 When the Panama canal opened, water rates became forty percent lower than we had figured, even without tolls said Henry Barlow, traffic director of the Chicago As sociation of commerce. The rail roads could not compete with these rates" Shippers in the middle-west who shipped by rail to the sea board and then through the canal found. he said, that they could not compete for the coast trade, and the final result would have been that Chicago and other cities would have lost their commerce with the west" One railroad official said the middle-Wes is now getting it's first benefits of the canal under the new , ruling, that the water rates had re- ouced the customers cost of trans portation. and that now the west 1 is getting it's reductions.
