there might be no further effort TO
force vote on the ship bin in the
upper branch nor would an extra ses-

for several months
While no definite announcements
on the subject of an extra session

dent that the ship bin issue would
be taken before the country 1t
would be shown that the house had
passed the bill after a desperate eff

republican opposition in the senate

The announcement Of the govern

saying that Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador had informed
the Washington government that Ger

INTO effect the German declaration of
war zone in the waters around the
British Isles interest in this particu-
lar phase OF the campaign is becom-
ing more intense
Germany reiterates its determine
lIon to carry out its declaration in
spirit and in fact The Netherlands
has sent note Of protest to the Ger
man government, couched in Ian
euage similar to that of the United
states in which it declares it will
hold Germany responsible should any
Dutch ship be attacked or sunk.
AZ the same time The Netherlands
government in a note to Great Brit.
ain contends tnat the use of neu-
tral flag on a large scale and by di-
rect sanction Of the belligerent gov.

all the shipping OF the country by
general instructions to British mer

Coincidentally the first lord of the
British admiralty, Winston Spencer
Churchill speaking in the house Of
commons, declared that it was Great
Britaius intention to use every
means to prevent Germany from re-
ceiying food supplies from other
countries
At the same time David Lloyd

announced tnat the war would cost
the allies ten billion dollars during
the current year, but declared that
both Great Britains and Frances re-
