DECLARATION OF SEA BLOCKADE
HOLDS NEUTRAL SHIPS IN PORT
AWAITING ORDERS FROM NATIONS

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The effect Of
Germany's declaration of sea block
ade of the entente nations to be en-
forced with every available weapon
and without further notice. was felt
today in every port on the Atlantic
coast. Owners and agents of vessels
flying neutral flags were in doubt as
to their future course of action and it
is believed that most of them will
keep their ships in port until instruc-
tions are received from their govern
ments.
In the offices of British and French
lines it was said that there would be
no interruption in the sailing from
American ports of ships carrying the
flags of the entente allies. To meet

would place practically the entire cost
of the preparedness program on the
corporate interests of the United
States.
The bill. which has been approved by
the House Democratic caucus. provides
a tax of per cent per annum on all
corporations whose net earnings ex-
ceed $4,000. The tax would be levied,
it is understood, against the assets Of
each corporation.

j. s. FACES IMMEDIATE BREAK With GERMANY
Entente Note
Forces Kaiser
to Renew War

LONDON, Feb. 1.-Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, ADDRESSING rhe
Reichstag committee, declared that
Germany was ready to stake everything
and fight to the end, according to a
Berlin dispatch to Reuter- by way of
Amsterdam. The dispatch quotes the
chancellor as saying:
ION December IL l explained to the
Reichstag the reasons which led to
our peace offer. The reply of our op-
ponents clearly and precisely said that
they declined peace negotiations with
us and want to hear only of peace
which they dictate. BY this the whole
question of guilt for the continuation
of the war is decided. The guilt falls
alone on our opponents. Just as defi-
mite is our task. The conditions of
the enemy we cannot discuss. They
could only be accepted by totally
defeated people. 1t therefore means
that we must fight.
President Wilson's message to Con-
gress shows a sincere wish TO restore
peace to the world. Many OF his
maxims agree with out aims, namely
lToGOOIl OIL Tie seas, dDOIIoAlucuC VI IhC
system of balance of power which al
ways is bound to lead to new Difficult
ties, equal rights of all nations and an
open door. But what are the peace
conditions of the entente? Germany's
defensive force is to be destroyed, we
to lose Alsace-Lorraine and our east
ern provinces, the Danube monarchy
to be dissolved. Bulgaria again to be
cheated of her national unity and Tur-
key to be pushed out of Europe and
smashed in Asa. The destructive de-
signs of our opponents cannot be ex-
pressed more strongly. We have been
challenged to fight to the end. We
accept the challenge, we stake every
thing and shall be victorious"

will be done quickly. Apparently it is
agreed that there are but three courses
open: Handing Count Won Bernstorff
his passports without further ado;
sending at once warning to Germany
that she will violate American rights
at her peril or awaiting the develop
ment of the new starvation campaign
against England announced to begin
today.

ton of the trend of his thoughts since
he expressed incredulous amazement
Yesterday when informed of what was
