EFFECTIVENESS OF BLOCKADE QUESTIONED
ENGLAND REGARDS ENTRY OF UNITED STATES AS REMOV.
 ING DIFFICULTIES

London. March William A. s.
 Hewins ana Carlyon w. Beuairs unionist members of the house of commons, this afternoon raised the | question Of the effectiveness of the
 Pr,,sh blockade and the difficulties l cl enforcing it during d debate in
 tine house. Mir. Bellairs said the diff l ncdlties had been largely removed when the United States. the most powerful and most critical neutral" came in on the side of the entente ahies
 Lcrd Robert Cecil, minister of blockade, assured the members of the
 house that the closest cooperation
 existed between the admiralty and his department.
 Lord Robert, in reviewing all the steps adopted in connection with the blockade, emphasized the value of ra
 ionIng by an agreement with some. body in neutral country as more
 smooth and effective than compul- sory rationing He said the system of letters ot assurance that had been arranged with the United States had been enormously important in smooth. lng over difficulties with that coun- try, enabling the government to know exactly what was going on concerning exports from the United States to neutrals and permitting the United States without unfairness or injustice to regulate. supplies to these neutrals. In his judgment. the measures adopt ed had succeeded completely in stop ping overseas importations into enemy countries.
 Lord Robert then produced mum Der of figures which he contended proved there was no leakage. He still felt however, that everything neces- sary had not been done to complete the blockade of Germany. There Bas the question of the home produce of border neutrals, which was d most diff ficult subject. He said he had con cluded that the only way to deal with this matter was by securing agree ments with neutrals to stop or dimin lsh such trade.
 The blockade minister went at great length into the difficulties sur rounding any attempt to compel neu- tral countries to sever all trade rela- tions with Germany. The technical and military positions of those coun ries had to be considered, he said.
 Concerning Denmark, Lord Robert said the government believed the with Denmark had beeu honestly carried out and that there was no reason to modify the present blockade policy as affecting Denmark.

TO SAVE MORE WHEAT
Plan Adopted That Will Conserve
Vast Amount This Year.
MiIers To Be Limited In Amount Of
Wheat To Go Into Each Barrel
Of Flour Manufactured.

New York, Dec 20.-The milling d.
vision of the Federal Food admins
tration announces measures calculated
to effect saving of considerably more
than 100000 bushels of wheat dur
ing the present crop year. These are
outlined in orders now being issued
to -four millers of the country.
After Maximum Saving.
Every effort is being made to effect
a maximum saving in wheat products
to the end that ample supplies may be
available for home, war and Allied re-
quirements and, if possible, to accumu-
late surplus against future needs it
was explained.
Flour millers will be limited in the
amount of wheat from which barrel
of flour must be manufactured under
the new regulations.
Won't Change FIour's Quality.
1t is believed a saving of wheat may
be made in this, way without serious
ly changing the present quality of flour
or mountaineering the consuming pub
lie" the statement declares.
A maximum price for mill feed for
livestock has been fixed The price will
be based on the price of grain when it
is received at the mills.

Washington, Dec. 20.-As a result
of continual reorganization of the
government machinery for the con.
struction of merchant marine, the
Senate has ordered a thorough in
vestigation of the whole situation
amid heated charges of Red tape,
"Inefficiency," "a crime" and other
hot phrases of denunciation.
Action came on the resolution in
troduced by Senator Harding. OF
Ohio, who denounced the boards
continuing difficulties as ''intermin.

Real Haste Is Shown.
With haste rarely shown, the Sen
ate auditing committee, which first
has to pass on the expense of such
investigations, approved Senator
Harding's resolution, and the Senate
ordered the inquiry, referring it to
the commerce committee.
Chairman Fletcher called the COM

arrange it's procedure. 1t is more
than likely the whole inside story of

former Chairman Denman and Major

The keynote of the demand for in

to be no dissent from either side in
the Senate, was the necessity for
building ships if the nation is to win

DIVER GOES DOWN |
American Submarine Rammed By
Sister Ship and Goes To
Bottom in Fog.
CRASH IN HOME WATERS
Officer and Four of Crew of Inflated
Vessel Rescued-Navy Depart
ment Gives No Details of
Disaster.

Washington, Dec. 20.-During a
heavy fog in home waters the Ameri-
can submarine F-3 rammed the sub
marine FL and as result 10 lives
were lost.
The F-3 was unchanged and rescued
five survivors of her victim. Secre-
tary Daniels announced the disaster in
a brief statement which gave no furth-
er details.
1t is believed that both undersea
craft were running on the surface
when the collision occurred and that
the five men saved were on deck at the
time. Each wore a life belt, as is re-
quired by submarine regulations, and
was thus enabled to keep afloat until
picked up.
The men who lost their lives were
in the hold of the diver and none of
them had time to escape as the FL
was struck amidships and sank imme-
diately, it is believed.
Lieut.. A. E. Montgomery, command
ing officer of the FL, was among the
five saved His mother, Mrs. Julia
Montgomery Pratt, lives at Fort H. O..
Wright, New York.
