Awaiting Responses.

WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-Admin-
istratiOn officials were looking for
ward with unabated interest TODAY to
early responses to the American gov
ernments informal proposals to Great
Britain and Germany for the elimina-
ton of dangers to neutral shipping.
The suggestions include removal of
all unnec essary mines in the high
seas and provide for the distribution
Iof foodstuffs to the German civilian
population and the abandonment of
the German submarine warfare on
merchant ships.
The American proposals have been
submitted by England to her allies.
France and Russia, for considera-
ton. AT the same time the British
cabinet has taken them under con-
sideratiOn. Officials here expect that
Il reply will be forthcoming in few
days. Unofficial advices fail to dis.
close the attitude of the British cab
met towards the latest American
move. While merchant vessels still
are being destroyed by mines and tor
pedoes. Secretary McAdoo of the
treasury department has ordered that
all ports in the British Isles, includ-
ing the continental port of Bordeaux,
De made special ports,'' requiring
special rates of war insurance from
the government bureau. This was
done because OF dangers to ships in
the new German war zone.

MILLIONS SPENT
BY RAILROADS
SENATORS AND REPRESENTA-
TlVES WORK ON DlscLos-
URES MADE BY INTER
STATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION.

WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-Senators
and Representatives were studying
today the disclosures by the interstate
commerce commission in connection
with its inquiry into the affairs of
the Louisville & .ashville and allied
railroads. The commission in it's re-
port to the senate alleged that the
Louisville & Nashville acquired com
peting lines and that it conducted at
an expenditure of millions of dollars
an elaborate political and publicity
campaign to eliminate competition
and influence public opinion.
The commission points out the need
of further investigation, together
with an inspection Of the railroad s
correspondence Under the decision
of the supreme court last Tuesday the
commission is powerless to make
such an inspection.
1t was considered doubtful in CON
gressional circles whether anything
in legislative way can be done at
this session giving the commission
access to the correspondence files of
the railroads. Members of congress-
hoWewver, are considering an amend
ment to the interstate commerce act
which would give the commission
this power.

Three Will Leave Within Next
Two Days, All With
Heavy CargOeS.
COTTON AND NAVAL. STORES
Commanders of These Steamers
Do Not Fear Any Trouble on
Their Voyage-One Sails for
England Today.

That the wholesale sinking of ships
in the war zone is not to have any
material effect on local shipping to
foreign ports is best evidenced by the
fact that three steamers are now ready
to sail from this port, presumably for
English ports; one will depart today
direct for foreign country while the
other two will sail either tomorrow
or Monday one of them going to Sa-
vannah to complete her cargo.
The Den of Ewnie, which arrived
here a few days ago from Savannah
to complete her cargo will steam out
of port today, bound for some English
port: that she is an English ship she
is hardly going to any other county.
AS is well known, under the marine
regulations the destination of for
eign-bound ship is not now given.
The Den of Ewnie will carry car
go of approximately $4,000 bales of
cotton, and her commander and crew
expect to land them safely at Liver
pool or some other English port Cap
tain White, who is in command of the
steamer. does not seem to think there
is any danger and is not anticipating
any trouble son the voyage across.
The steamer Eustace, which arrived
Thursday, taking on naval stores,
will go to Savannah to complete her
cargo and will sail from that port to
some English port. The commander
of this steamer likewise holds no fear
of a German mine or submarine.
The Burrsfield will sail probably
Sunday, carrying a cargo of cotton for
England.
There are now two or three ships
en- route to English ports from Bruins
wick, and the travel has been going
on ever since the war zone was de-
clared, burt all of the ships have safely
reached their port. However, the new
turn in affairs two weeks, ago when
a war zone was declared, was not in
effect then, and consequently there
was much less danger in making the
trips.
That the ports cotton business will
be almost as large as usual, despite the
European war, is now indicated. OF
course there was a big falling off at
the outset OF the war hut the StrachaD
Shipping company have loaded quite
number of vessels recently and have
many others chartered

THREE SHIPS REPORTED
INJURED.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 90
Three of the allies warships We're
damaged during the bombardment of
the Dardanelles' forts yesterday, ac-
cording to an official Turkish an
nOuncement today. The statement says
the injured allied warships retired
toward Tenedos island. One ship of
the AgammenOn type and two others
were damaged by the forts fire.
1t was announced last night in
London that the forts at the Darda-
nelles' entrance had been reduced by
a French and British fleet of more
than thirty ships. The English state
ment did not mention any losses.
If the Dardanelles are opened the
allies can take ConstantinOple, it is
said. If this happens vast quanti-
ties of Russian wheat will be re-
leased and distributed in France and
England. Aeroplanes are said to
have aided the allies in their attack
on the forts.
The bOmbardment continues.

From ConstantinOple comes the re-
port of victory of Turks over Rus

is said that after a battle of several
days the Russians were put to flight,
having suffered heavy losses
So far as official statements from
London Paris and Berlin show, there
have been no important changes on
the main battlefields of the west or
the east. In London the opinion is
growing that the Germans are soon to
make great general attack in France,
remaining on the defensive in Po-
land. Petrograd, on the other hand,
fully expects another German drive

Germany Sees Satisfactory Ba=
sis for Future NegO-
tiatiOnS.
MOVE MINES FROM WATERS
Note Has Been Fully Discussed
During Past Few Days by Ger
man Authorities and Ambas-
sador Gerard.

BERLIN (via London), Feb. 20
The American note to Germany and
Great Britain on the subject of food
stuffs to civilian population of bel.
ligerents and submarine activities at
sea has been a subject of exhaustive
discussion for the past two days be-
tween German authorities and Ambas-
sador Gerard
AS result the German reply is
gradually taking definite form The
correspondent of the Associated Press
has been assured by competent and
reliable authority that the American
proposals are regarded as constitute
ing a satisfactory basis for future
negotiations and that they are in
many respects acceptable. Certain of
the proposals, however, will be sub
jected to more or less important
notifications
Government circles have expressed
themselves as impressed by the
friendly spirit in which these propo-
sails have been advanced and the evi-
dent desire on the part of the Ameri-
can administration to reach Il solu-
ton OF the difficulties involved in
the present methods of maritime
warfare, to belligerents and neutrals
alike.
The American note will not be
published until the German response
has been sent forward
1t is difficult to obtain any authori-
tatlve expression of opinion concern
ing the German viewpoint of the
situation from any government Off
cial or to overcome the censorship
restrictions in treating of the matter
III the news dispatches sent out from
Berlin. Judging, however, from a
general knowledge of German policy
and intentions, it may be said with
confidence that little difficulty will
be experienced so far as Germany is
concerned in reaching mutual
agreement for dscontinuance of float
ing mines. The attitude of the Ger
man admiralty on mine planting
along hostile coasts, however. is at
the present time unknown.
