WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-Nationaliza-
ton OF British shipping mentioned brief
" by Prem er Lloyd-George as one Of the
first acts of ;Le new war ministry, more
interest here from the strictly Amersc an
point OF view than any other phase OF
the premier's speech What effect IL
would have IN American foreign trade
and on the status Of British ships sunk
BY German submarine has opened new
and unexpected series of question which
oficials regard with much concern
The taking into. the national service
OF the whole mercantile marine, follow
ing closely on England's announcement
that she could not guarantee coal at any
OF her coaling bases the world over ex-
cept 10 ships conserving allied interests.
IS thought by officials carrying trade TO
specific war purposes
The effect on commerce for American
purposes and not OF service to the al
lies is problematical, especial as to the
completeness with which Lloyd-George
enforces the order. Nevertheless, there
is In law nothing the United states can
do should the whole British merchant
marine be withdrawn from American
trade and harbOrs.
IL is thought the effect on the subTna-
rfne situation would be to remove con-
fusion between public vessels not en-
titled to any guarantees and private YES
sells entitled TO any guarantees and. pri-
vzte vessels entitled to warning and pro
vision for the safety Of those on board
Just where the point Of distinction would
lie Is a very complex question =
LIoyd-George's announcement OF the
recognition OF the agents Of VeniZelos
raises the question.of what should be the
attitude of this government If Venizelos
should become the defacto ruler OF an
appreciabIe part OF Greece
A similar question has been faced
since England tOk over from Turkey the
sovereignty Of Egypt Generally, the de-
partment has not recognized changes
made during the war. preferring TO wait
for the ueace settlement

Steaming Coffee Served
To Fighting Fire Ladies'

Coffee was served at all hours durlng
the time the fire was raging. Every time
a fireman got wet they gave him sip
of warm black coffee, and most of the
firemen were wet all the time.
Coffee, says Chief Cody, is the very
thing a man should drink when he is
fighting fire, or anything else. The sup
ply of steaming coffee was so great that
Mayor Woodward and other persons who
were standing around the burning build
ing were being served coffee upon re-
quest.

LIQUID FIRE SHELLS
OVER 60 YEARS OLD
Model Of Destructive Weapon
Was Shown to New Orleans
Editor in 1861.

That invention moves In cycles just
like General Miles SAYS war moves
when one Is applied to the business OF
the other. Is the contention of Frank
II. Lancaster. linotype salesman in
Washington, who has documentary
proof that the liquid fire ehell which
Is supposed 10 be modern was really
an invention OF half a century ago.
Mr.. Lancaster has a copy OF the Daily
Delta. an interesting newspaper that
was published in New Orleans, OF che
date Of April II. 1861. which contains an
editorial paragraph that seems 10 bear
out his contention.
The liquid fire shell has been used
frequently enough in Flanders and
northern France to work It's way to
the frst pages Of newspapers through
out the world during the past YEAR and
Il half 1t has been hailed as the quint-
escence OF cruelty which modern in
vention has injected into war. Here
is what the Delta of New Orleans Of
April II, 1861, said about the modern"
invention:
Mr.. st. James has shown us a mod
el OF n new shell OF his own invention,
which, it. appears. would be a very tor-
midable missile. The shell is of an
elongated shape. containing two cham
the destructive qualities contained in n
common shell. the other for the pur-
pose Of containing liquid fire, which Is
said to be so destructive in it's action
that very few of the shells will destroy
the largest vessel

The question Of Philippine independ-

After protracted debate. lasting many
davs. the Senate last evening passed the

licans voted with the Democrats for the
bill. They were Borah. Clapp, Kenyon.

Bv an overwhelming majority the
Senate refused to modify the Clarke
amendment. which was adopted several
DAYS ago. This provides for independ-
cnce in two to four years. though new
Congress might extend the time. Vari-
GUS efforts to amend failed.
II is expected the House will pass the
bill about as 1t passed the Senate.
The Senate refused to stand for any
provision for neutrality agreements or
for this country alone to guarantee

Both Teams Reported to Be in

LTNCHBURG. Va. Feb. b.-Tonight
nual University Of Observation-Disclosures
and Lee basketball teams Both uuints
are here In the pink Of condition. and in
every expectation OF winning this i'm
portant fray. According to tho com
parative scores. Virginia has a consider
able edge on the Generals. but the latter
are confident that they will put up a
bitter fight IL they do not win. and have
strong hopes Of coming out OF the con-
test victorious.
Last year Virginia beat the Lexington
team. and the year preceding that man
aged to tie them. Before that there had
been quite a string Of victories to the
credit Of Washington and Lee. The
game between the two schools was
usually played on February %. Wash
tnston's Birthday. and attended by a
large part Of the student body Of both
institutions, the roofing of both sides be-
ing very spirited. This year the date
has been pushed up several weeks.
Large numbers of supporters of both
teams are on hand. however.
Virginia has made rather rapid re-
covery from her slump in the Catholic
University game. when she was 80 badly
trounced. Strickling and Stickley are
getting MP to form, as was shown by
their work against " NJ 7. last Satur-
day night. when tho cadets were de-
fested 70 to 26. Previously Virginia
defeated Washington and Lee with
considerable ease. So according to com
Dsrativc scores Virginia has a. good
edge OH the Generals for tonight's con-
test. But this game is one which can
