GERMAN WAR RULE
BLOW TO u. S. TRADE
British Officials Will Take Advantage
of Kaiser's Assumption of
Control of Food.

Assumption by the German government
of control over all the food supplies OF
the empire. as announced from Berlin
yesterday is expected by officials here to
result in a refusal by the British TO per
NIT any vessels 10 carry fOOdstuffs to Ger
man ports. II is believed the British will
take advantage Of this action by the i'm
periaI government to claim that under
the conditions all fOodstufs consigned
to Germany must b. regarded as des-
tined to the government Of Germany and
therefore OF hostile destination.
Il is thought probable this ruling will
be invoked In the case of the American
steamship WiIhelmina. now on the seas
en- route to Hamburg. Germany. with a
cargo OF American fuodStuffs. The vii
hclmina sailed last week from New York.
and it was announced by those interested
in the venture that they were determined
to demonstrate IL possible the feasibil-
ijy Of sending foOdsjufs direct to Ger
many.
In its note or protest to the British
government OF last month regarding
Interference with American shipments
or fOOdstuffs consigned to neutral cOum-
tries. the United States government
Tcld that the British had no right 10
rold up such carEoes unless they pos
sessed evidence that such goods We're
actually designed for the armed forces
or an enemy country. To this view the
British, in their reply. assented, thus
placing them in the position Of being
compelled 10 produce such evidence
with regard to seizure OF such cargoes.
The action OF the German government.
however. relieves the British govern
ncnt OF this necessity

DOES 1T APPLY TO DRUGGISTS ?
Judge Prince Holds Gallon-a-M Month
Law Has Certain Exceptions.

Florence, April 19.-Judge Geo.
e. Prince, III the Court of Common
Pleas, which opened here this morn
ing, gave a decision in regard to the
handling Of alcohol under the new
Il ", which will attract considerable
attention, and which he requested be
carried to the Supreme Court for
final Judgment. 1t Is to the effect
that the new law limiting the
amount Of liquor one party can re-
ceive to one gallon a month does not
apply to shipments Of alcohol to
wholesale druggists, although the
letter of the law would seem to in
dicate that Wholesale druggists are
debarred like individuals from re-
ceiving over gallon a month of
anything alcoholic.
The case was brought by the at
torneys for the Coast Line, after the
taking OF a barrel of alcohol under
claim and delivery papers by the e.
n. Matthews Drug Company from
the railroad. Under Judge Princes
decision the wholesale drug COM
pany would not be debarred from the
privilege Of getting as much alcohol
as was needed in their manufacture
of medicines and extracts Of which
they make a great quantity.

JAPS ONLY SAVING SHIP.
Reports of Jap Fleet or American
Pacific Coast Exaggerated.

Washington, April 1S.-Comman-
der Noble Irwin, Of the cruiser New
Orleans, reported to the Navy De-
partment to-day that he had inves-
tigated the Japanese activity in Tur-
tie Bay, Lower California, and found
no indications Of other than salvage
work on the stranded cruiser
Asama.
The commanders report was sent
by wireless to Admiral Howard, COM
manding the Pacific fleet, who tele-
graphed it to Secretary Daniels as
follows:
The Asama still aground in San
Bartolome Bay. Only other vessel
present one repair sb! p and two col
liers. No indications of other than
salving work.
Secretary Daniels has called on
Admiral Howard for a special report
in view Of press dispatches telling OF
squadron OF foreign warships in
Turtle Bay, OF a large Japanese
cdutp aSnOre ana oil mines in the
harbor.
The Asama has been aground in
the secluded Mexican haven since
December, and reports indicated that
the presence of other ships aiding In
getting her afloat was being made
the excuse for the establishment of
permanent base Of operations.
The Japanese embassy issued
statement declaring the operations
were solely for salvage purposes, and
Gen. Cantu, Military Governor of
Lower California, telegraphed the
Villa authorities that the Japai 1se
activities were limited to salving the

Some TORPEDO boats appeared Oh

GERMANS pound
WARSAW LINE
Artillery Duel Is Miles From
P,Iish Capita.
GREAT GUYS IN ACTION
Cars Forces Manage to Turn Ger
man Fortress Guarding Mazurian
Lakes In Prussia.

The Germans great eleven-i1ch
guns, which they have at last brought
to the front in Russian Poland, south
Of the Vistula, are now pounding away
at the Russian positions along a fiji
teen-mile line east of Sochaczew and
Skierniewice, the nearest point of
which is little more than twenty-five
miles from Warsaw.
The official report says that the
fighting is confined to artillery duels
and to isolated infantry attacks by
the Germans, all easily repulsed by
the Russians fire.
The violence of the long range at
tack by the Germans big guns is ac-
cepted by military experts as mean
ing that an assault in force on the
Russian center east of the Bzura and
the Rawka rivers IS about to begin,
and that they would not be surprised
if another attempt at an advance upon
Warsaw were already in progress.
Whatever the result of this rush,
it is evident that the Germans have
at last successfully accomplished their
long-sought immediate objective, a
firm foothol1 on the eastern bank of
the Bzura river.
The crossing of the Bzura's tribu-
tary around Bolimow was effected
some time ago, but the intensity OF
the fighting around the villages of
Bin Skupi and Sucha, not more than
four miles east of the Bzura, is ac-
cepted as Indicating that the Germans
are established in force.
Little concern is felt in PetTograd
concerning the outcome of the pres.
ent preparation of General Won Hin
denburg to reach Warsaw. The Rus
sian troops are known to occupy ex
ceptionally strong positions, and the
repulses of the infantry attacks OF
the Germans are regarded as evidence
that the invasion will meet with the
fate of its predecessors.
Unofitial reports indicate that the
Russian force has managed to turn
the German fortress guarding the
Mazirian lakes at Boyen. This feat Is
expected TO give the invaders a dis
tinct strategic advantage, which can
5e followed up the more easily now
that the ice on the lakes is growing
thicker and is better able to afford a
passage for the heavy artillery.
