Standard OH Company 10
 Hold AM Ships in Ports

New York, February 7-All ships of the Standard Oil company in trans atlantic service will be held in port pending developments in the interna- tional situation, it was learned today.
 Two of them, recalled by wireless, arrived at this port today. They were the Communipaw and the Pioneer. The message which ordered them back was ss..s'.s..'.s,............ guarantees for the future, which we re- gard as essential to the progress of civiIi- zation.
 ''In response to an invitation by the President of the United States of Amer ica we have outlined so far as can be done at present the general objects necessarily implied by these aims.
 Threats of further outrages upon pub lie law, and the common rights of hu- manity will but serve to steel our deter imitation more.
 During the winter months my navy has maintained unchallenged it's ceaseless watch on the seas, and enforced with vigor the blockade of the enemy. My armies have conducted successful opera tions, not only in Europe, but in Egypt, Mesopotamia and east Africa, and they are fully prepared to renew the great struggle in close and cordial co-opera- tion with my allies on every field trust their united efforts will carry the successes already won to a victorious conclusion.
 T invited representatives of my do- minions and my Indian empire which have borne so glorious share in the struggle, to confer with my ministers on important questions of common inter- est relating to the war. The steps so taken will, trust, conduce to the es- tablishment of closer relations between all parts of the empire.
 You will be asked to make necessary provisions for effective prosecution of the war. Accomplishment of the task to which I have set my hand will entail unsparing demands on the energies and resources of my subjects. I am assured however, that my people will respond to every call necessary for the success of our cause with the same indomitable ar dor and devotion that have filled me with pride and gratitude since the war began. l. therefore, confidently commend to your patriotism the measures which will be laid before you, and pray that Almighty God may give His blessings to your coun- cilc

GULF COAST CITRUS FRUIT NOT DAMAGED
 ID GREAT EXTENT
Investigation Following Se- we're Cold Shows Losses Are Not as Large as
 First Thought

Mobile, February 7.-(Specia1.) While an investigation into the dam age done to citrus fruit trees along the gulf coast Is not yet complete, many growers are hopeful that the loss will be comparatively small. Where the soil has been banked around the trees, practically no damage resulted from the unreasonable weather. Some reports have reached Mobile that in cases where growers have forced the growth of trees. the bark has cracked and the trees were killed. This has been the case where winter blowing was done and fertilizer put in. W. H. Reynolds. owner of a beautiful grove near Mobile, said after close examina- ton he was unable to discover any damage. His satsumas are right on Mobile bay and supposedly most ex- posed to frost. Dr. O. F. l.. Winberg. president of the Gulf Coast Horticul- tural association. is making thor ough investigation into frost damage.f
 At first it was reported that 90 per cent of the cabbage crop in this coun- ty had been destroyed. It Is now said that the loss will be about SO per cent All other vegetables were killed Farm CTS are greatly in need of cabbage plants Because of the wide area of the freeze, which extended all through Florida and Louisiana, plants are very hard to find

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Great Britain's Aggressiyenes

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Will some one who knows explain how it is that if the President is neutral in this war he has not long ago severed diplomatic relations with Great Britain
 Since the commencement of the war Great Britain has been guilty of inva- sions of the rights of the people of the united States as neutral power and persisted in them notwithstanding the protests of President Wilson and given greater cause and more frequent cause for war than existed at the time when this country declared war against Britain in 1912. Respectfully,
