DEFENSIVE, SEA AREAS OFF
 EAST AND WEST SEACOASTS
Washington Publishes Regu- lations Restricting Ship Movements and Will Not Assume Responsibility for Damage Caused Through Violations.

Washington, April 1s.-An ex- ecutive order designating defensive sea areas" on coasts of the United States and its insular possessions was made public today. Regulations gov erning the movements of vessels in these waters are appended and the order concludes with this statement:
 ''The responsibility of the United States Of America for any damage in- f1icted by force of arms with the object O. detaining any persons or vessels proceeding in contravention to regulations duly promulgated in ac- cordance with this executive order shall cease from this date (April 5)"
 The areas specified are: Mouth of the Kennebec river, Portland, Me: Portsmouth, Boston. New Bedford, Newport Long Island East, New York East, New York main entrance, Della ware river Chesapeake entrance, Ball timore. Potomac, Hampton Roads, Wilmington, Cape Fear, Savannah, Key West Tampa. Pensacola. Mobile, Mississippi, Galveston, San Diego, San Francisco, Columbia river, Port Or chard and Manila.
 Many reports of German raiders and submarines lying in wait near American ports to destroy commerce reached the navy department today through civilian channels, but omclal confirmation was consistently lacking. Secretary Daniels said the utmost vigilance was being accorded and al- though hundreds of rumors had been investigated no basis in fact had been found for any.
 The most persistent report was that a German submarine was in the south Pacific. No official agency, however, has been able to confirm 1t.
 Plans to release for government use many cOastWise vessels on both the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards are un- der way among the chief railroads.
 Through the Council of National Defense, the government has request ed the roads so to re-arrange their schedules and facilities to permit the release of virtually all vessels in the coastwise trade to the government. Many of the ships thus released prob ably will be used in the transportation of foodstuffs and supplies to the Allies pending the construction of the gov ernments fleet of wooden vessels.
 Steamships operating on the Great Lakes also will be used for the same purpose. The first definite offer of aid from these sources came today from W. J. Connors Of Buffalo. who controls thirtyfive vessels on the lakes. He said six Of his fleet will be available for ocean-going traffic. He also said that four Lehigh Valley railroad vessels on the lakes could also be used. A sizeable fleet for transatlantic trade, officials believe, could be cb- tained quickly by taking over the chief coastwise vessels plying out of New York to New England, southern and gulf ports.
 To permit the shipping board to operate at its maximum efficiency democratic leaders in congress are considering proposal to increase the sum placed at the boards disposal from $50,000,000 to $20O,000,000.

rines Or New York, Boston
 and Other Ports.
 Washington, April 13.-New im- petus was given plans for naval CO., operation between the United States and the Entente nations today by conferences between Secretary Daniels and American naval officers and Vice Admiral M. E. Browning of the Brit ish navy and Rear Admiral R. A. Grasset of the French navy Ameri- car warships first will undertake the patrol of the entire Atlantic coast from Panama northward, possibly even including Canada, permitting the withdrawal of British and French pa- trol vessels and using naval bases of those nations in the south Atlantic if necessary.
 Naval officers have expected Ger many will extend submarine activity sporadically to this side of the At- lantic and cause 8 formal blockade of Boston, New York, the mouth of the Delaware, the mouth of the Ches- apeake, Charleston and Savannah.
 It is understood British and French ports in Europe will be opened to American ships when the need arises, and eventually an American naval station probably established on the Irish coast.

PUT RAILROADS AT
 GALL OF PRESIDENT
Revised Bill Would Not Actually
 Take Over Lines
OTHER UTILITIES INCLUDED
Telegraph and Telephone Lines and WOrkmen Would Also Be at Dis- pOsal of Executive Under Terms of Measure Introduced in Congress.

N1c8Sur0 10CtO0uCc0 m congress.
 Washington. April 1s.-Power for the president to order railway off, cials to operate any part of their rolling stock during war time as he may see fit, without actually taking over railroads. is given in the com- sion, reintroduced in amended form today by Chairman Adamson of the house commerce committee.
 Provision to permit the president to control and operate all railroad, tele- graph and telephone lines, to draft their employees into the military serv- ice, to use military in protecting the operation of railway lines and to in- crease the personnel of the Interstate Commerce Commission from seven to eleven members are included as in the previous bill.
 The section in which the president might order the operation of part of a roads rolling stock is considered of the greatest importance. It would permit the government to obtain the same service that 1t would, if the line were taken over and at the same time. prove economical in time and cost, 1t Is believed. Compensation for the use of the rolling stock by the government would be fixed by the In- terstate Commerce Commission.
 All property taken over by the president would be returned to it's owners at the close of the war. At- teampts to evade service ordered by the government would be dealt with severely.
 Coupled with the proposed increase of the personnel of the commission would be provision to sub-divide it with the purpose of expediting busi- ness. As now constituted, the com. mission finds itself impossible to keep abreast of it's work.
 No special provision, other than permitting the president to use the milftary to guard the operation of the trains. is made against strikes
