Affect Inaugural Fete
from Tns Tribune Burssul

Washington, Feb. 16.-In spite OF
appeals from railroad and coal mag
mates, who are straining every effort To
relieve the freight congestion, the big
inaugural fete next month will neithes
be called of nor abridged in any way.
This statement was made at the White
House tonight after the receipt OF
telegram from c. ". Watson, presi-
dent Of the Consolidation Coal Com
pany, who told Secretary Tumulty that
calling of the Inauguration festivities
would take a big load of the railroads.
His views had the Endorsement OF
prominent railroad men.

Souvenir merchants have laid in their

Defensive Steel Net
at Hampton Roads
Shipping Warned of Barrier
Against Enemy Submarines
at Harbor's Entrance

Norfolk. Va. Feb. 16.-A warning to
mariners that big steel net, such as
Great Britain has used as guard
against submarines, is being placed In
position at the entrance Of Hampton
Roads, was issued by Rear Admiral
Mclean, commandant Of the Norfolk
Navy Yard. About half of the work
has been completed.
The net will entirely block the
channel. A destroyer or naval tug
will be on duty there constantly, it is
understood, to swing a portion Of the
barrier aside for the passage Of yes
sells.
The nets position is indicated by
a line of buoys, on which searchlights
will be trained during darkness.

Miles of Loaded Cars

RELIEF is NEAR
Business Uneasy in West
Over Freight Jam-Cab-
met Still Waits

Developments yesterday in the
railroad freight situation, which has
been greatly aggravated by the ins
direct or secondary effects Of the
German U-boat blockade, were very
interesting.
Alarmists appealed to the White
House to abridge or cancel the usual
inaugural ceremonies at Washing
ton on March 4, in order that the
railroads might be relieved of the
heavy passenger traffic incident
thereto. Mr.. Tumulty rejected that
suggestion.
Cabinet Makes No Decision
The Cabinet considered the eco
nomic aspects of the German block
ade, without coming to any decision
as to how American merchantmen
should be protected in passing
through the war zone. A large feet

day from the war zone. Thus, bot

men in the East say the situation IS

Movement of Freight
There has been much loose talk
about sweeping embargoes" and
"gentlemen's agreements" From
recent experience with acute con-
gestion the railroad people have
learned how to regulate the move

against freight for export, for in

Halifax, y. S, Feb. 6.-The Scan
dinavian-American liner Frederik VIII,
from New York, with Count Won Bern

sular officials homeward bound on
board anchored in Halifax harbor to-
night. Powerful searchlights were
plaed on her from both sides of the
harbor as she steamed slowly to her
anchorage. conveyed by swarm Of
naval patrol boats.
In keeping with the assurances given
by Great Britain to the United States
for the safe conduct of the former am
bassador, extraordinary precautions
were taken to safeguard the ship. No
one not baving official business on
board was allowed to approach the
steamer. Searchlights illumined the ed
iacent waters and naval launches were
detailed to keep up an active patrol in
the vicinity of the anchorage during
the period the liner is in port for er-
animation by the British naval suthori-
ties.

Germans Sweep
French Trenches
In Champagne
Crown Prince Pierces Mile
and a Half Of Front to
Half-Mile Depth
lRr cable 10 The rlbnnsI

London, Feb. 16.-Almost on the an
niversary Of the inauguration of their
great Verdun offensive last year the
Germans launched an attack in the
Champagne Yesterday that swept mile
and a half of French trenches to
depth of half mile and garnered 81
prisoners and twenty machine guns.
While the furious assault combined
all the elements Of q grand offensive
movement and constituted the most i'm
portant battle of the year, few military
students here venture the prediction
that it is more than a spectacular felrt
to cover a still bigger operation on an
other part OF the front.
The action took place between the
Naisons de Champagne Farm and Hill
1855. about midway between Verdun and
Rheims and about mile and half
south of the main road between Tahure
and Cernay. The operation was pre-
ceded by an intense artillery fire along
the entire line, which lasted nearly all
dav Yesterday and assumed gigantic
nroportions Immediately previous to
The infantry movement in the after
noon.
Four French Lines StOrmed
Four lines Of French positions were
stormed by the troops OF the crown
Prince. The destructive fire OF the
German batteries had levelled the
trenches and churned up the earth
arouud them so that they were hardly
distinguishable. The French troops re-
treated before the onrush without offer
ing stubborn resistance, choosing rather
to place their hopes in stift, sharp
counter blows. These they continued
throughout the night and this morning,
but without success.
"The French increased their own
losses in useless counter attacks" says
to-night's Berlin communication, re-
counting the victory.
The Paris statement admits that the
Germans penetrated the salient situ-
ated west of Maisons de Champagne
and north Of the road leading thence TO
the Butte de Mesnll, but asserts that
the barrage and fanking fire raised by
the French guns caused heavy losses
TO the enemy. The German report an
