 Ready to Fight U-War.
 Great Britain and her allies are pre- 2erer tc mce Germany's moves in her s1fmarine campaign, t W2s said in jhipp:ng circles here tonight. Tie en- 5ntc powers were convinced weeks go that ruthless warfare with sub narines would be decreed socner or later and have known for 10 days that the decision he'd been reached, it was said.
 The ports of Liverpool and Bordeaux will be kept open at all hazard, Brit ish steamship representatives said, even if it becomes necessary to convoy every merchant ship which crosses tie Atlantic The first step to be taken hv the British Admiralty, which vir ually controls the merchant fleets of he allies, probably will be to arm every ship with guns. fore and aft for 1efense purposes.
 It is said the British government Aes been assembling fer months a large fleet of small fast cruisers to be used as submarine chasers." This type of Warcraft has proven very eff octiye against undersea boa's.
 Neutrals 70 Hold Pert.
 It was considered probably, however that vessels flyirg neutral colors win be kept in pcrc until instructions are received from their governments. This is certain to be true in the case of Dutch steam ships.

One urged the passage of the bill by Sena- .o Moncrief tc authorize the issuance of S750000 in short term notes to cov- CT the deficiencies in the general rev enue fund which it is calculated will have acrued by July 1. The house then proceeded to pass the bill with cnly seven dissenting votes by Repre- sentatives Copeland of Howard, Hol- loway, Humphrey, Owens, Stevens Waggonr and Wagon. A sinking fund is created that it is estimated will dis charge the debt in about sixteen years This is the method advocated by GeH, Trough for putting the state back on a cash basis.
 The bill had already passed the Senate.
