MAY BLOCKADE NEUTRALs
Allied Fleet Will Attempt to. Cut off
All Supplies for Germany

New York, Jan. 19-A Washington
dispatch to the World says:
Reports to President Wilson from
Col. House have satisfied the ad-
ministration that within few days
q proclamation will be issued an
nouncing that the British orders in
council have been vacated; that an
allied fleet will blockade Germany,
and that means will be found to cut
off the supplies which the neutral
countries have clandestinely allowed
to be shipped to the central govern
ments.
Great Britain is determined to shift
responsibility in part to her allies, If
the opinion held in official circles
may be accepted, so that France,
Italy, Russia and Belgium shall bear
a portion of the censure that is ex.
pected to be raised in Congress, II
the new blockade does not satisfy
this government and seriously in
tcrferes with American shippers.
The reports, prematurely circulat-
ed from British sources, that France,
Russia, Italy and Belgium are jointly
responsible for interference with
trade, are supposed to have
been put forward rs political move
to pave the way for a friendly re-
ception to the new proclamation.
In addition to the proclamation an
nouncing an actual blockade Of Ger
many, Great Britain is expected to
demand that the strictest embargoes
be placed on shipments to her enemies
or that neutrals also subject them
selves to blockade which will be
lifted only occasionally, when the
British authorities believe that the
neutrals are in need of foodstuffs for
their own consumption.

CRAB PROTECTION URGED.
Swcpson Earle Confers With Virgin
ia Legislators as TO New Laws.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 19.-Swepson
Earle, chief engineer of the She'll
fish Commission of Maryland, con-
ferred last night with committees
from both branches of the Virginia
General Assembly on matters pertain
ing to the crab industry Of the two
States. Mr.. Earle spoke extensively
on the blue crab of the Chesapeake,
and the Importance of conserving the
crab industry for the crab fishermen
of Virginia and Maryland. He sug-
gested that the protective measures
most essential for the conservation
of this industry provide for Gull
law on hard crabs five inches from the
tip of the spike, and the Importance
of protecting the female egg-bearing
crab, which are found extensively in
the Virginia waters near the Capes.
The Virginia lawmakers conceded
the necessity of these protective
measures and stated that Virginia
was willing to concur with Maryland
in protecting the female crab, which
will insure the continuance of the in
dutry in both states.
The question of fish will come up
at another conference, which will be
attended by the new committee on
crab and fish to be named by the
Maryland Legislature, now in ses-
sion. This new committee is expect
ed to carry the above concurrent
measure through.

CANADA A PRIZE.
Government Leader Says Germans in
United States Would Help in
Capturing 1t.

Ottawa, Ont. Jan. -. - James
Lougheed, government leader in the
Senate, declared in speech in the
Upper House of Parliament yestcr-
day that Germany was known to de-
sire possession of Conada as prize
of war should she be victorious in the
present conflict. Some Canadians, he
said, could not yet realize that Cana
da was in as great jeopardy as Great
Britain or any of her allies.
Senator Lougheed asserted thai
German spies had compiled and filed
in the archives of their government
more complete information upon the
natural and developed resources Of
Canada than was possessed even by
the Dominion government. He OK
pressed the belief that Germans liv-
ing in the United States would be
glad to aid in the capture of Canada.
If the Allies lines were broken and
an avenue opened upon the seas the
speaker prophesied German troops
would be landed upon the shores of
Canada and the Do1ninion's southern
boundary would be crossed by reserv-
lists living in the United States, To
prevent such a contingency, he said
Canadians. should exert themselves
to. the utmost to. aid Great Britain.

LINER CRIPPLED AT SEA.
Steamer Ryndam Reaches Graves
end In Damaged Condition
Three Stokers Killed.

London, Jan. 19.--The trans-At-
lantic liner Ryndam, which sailed
from New York, on January 5 fol
Falmouth and Rotterdam, arrived yes
terday at Gravesend, having been de-
layed by some accident. the nature OF
which was not divulged.
It was announced that all her pas
sengers were safe, but that three
stokers were killed and four injured,
When she passed Southend she was
down by the bows with list to star-
board. in accordance with official in
structions, the passengers who did not
land at Falmouth will remain on
board.
The Ryndam passed the Lizard on
January ID, but her arrival at Fal-
mouth had not been reported, although
ordinarily she would have reached
Falmouth the day after being report
ed off the Lizard.
The accident to the Ryndam evi-
dently occurred at some point in the
English Channel. The Lizard is at
the southwestern extremity Of Eng
land and Southend is in Southeast
ern England, at the mouth of the
Thames, so that the steamer evidently
passed around the southern end of
England in the interval since jan
uary ID.

American Line and has been in service
for number of years between New
