LONDON, Jan. i3.--The suggestion con-
tained in dispatches from Washington
that the announced modification of the
German sUbmarine campaign will neces-
sitate the abandonment by Great Brit
ain of the blockade against imports to
Germany is ridiculed In Admiralty cir
clee. II IL admitted that Premier As

mating the word blockade and the Or
der in Council announcing that the ac-
tion vas purely measure OF reprisal
places the Admiralty in an awkward
situation. but the day OF Juridical niceties
Is past.
While naval officers could claim a
continuance Of the ground for reprisals
by virtue Of Germanys insistence that
the submarine exemption does not apply
to the war zone, they ignore this fea-
ture. One officer explaining the situa-
ton to the correspondent OF THE Sun
to-day said:
The German submarine blockade Is
a failure. Our blockade Is becoming
moro successful daily. We now not only
control the North Sea but have by our
cruisers and submarines established an
effective blockade in the Baltic. Here
after we shall eliminate the word 'repri-
sal and substitute the word blockade

tending that troops have been sent To

heavy Austrian artillery. have been sent
to B,gdad, which is to be the base for
