ginning at Q p. m. Under decision
handed down late yesterday, debate

subject to conviction.
On the different questions as they

To prohibit manufacture Of spirits

Every one here now realizes that
there was SO little secrecy about

This leak to neutrals will be block

Officials are now convinced that
Germany could not have had advance
information as to the exact routes the
American transports were to take, or
as to their rendezvous somewhere in
the Atlantic.
These orders were sealed and
known to only three or four persons
in this country and to Admiral Sims in
England. None of those who had this
information are even under the slight
