ENGLAND BEGINS TO

Submarine War Beginning to Tell
Says Lloyd George.

London, Feb. 23.-The first Of.
ficial admission that Germany s
submarine war is beginning to
strangle England was made by
Premier Lloyd George in the
house Of commons today. Unless
the submarine menace is removed
declared the premier, disaster
will overtake the allies. He
warned that prompt and ruthless
measures must be taken. German
submarines must be hunted from
the seas before the allies can hope
for victory, he said,
The premier announced drastic
reductions in imports chiefly in
meats and fruits. The galleries
were crowded for the special
meeting of commons and gusts Of
cheers greeted the words Of the
premier. Among Chose in the
diplomatic gallery. were Premier
Borden of Canada and Premier

The Netherlands May Breal
With Germany.
Break

Washington, Feb! 24.-The
probability of a diplomatic
break between Germany and the
Netherlands as a result of the
continued sinking of Dutch ves-
sells in the German war zone, was
discussed in diplomatic circles
here today.
Up to this time the Dutch gov
ernment has not gone further
than to protest against the de-
struction Of it's shipping, but the
sinkings reported today are ex-
pected to arouse indignation in
the Netherlands that the govern
ment will find it too difficult to
withstand.
The Dutch minister, Chevalier
Van Rappard, did not conceal his
anxiety over the possible out
come.
"The situation is horrible
one," he said. 1T must soon
come to an end. y

Two other ships that will be in

circles, are the newly completed
Paris of the French line, 10000
tons, and the Cunard liner Maur-
etania, $4,000 tons.
Members of the crews of in
coming vessels said the sending Of
the mighty liners is generally
known in British shipping cir
cles.

American Missionary Killed.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Robert
Allen Hadden, American mission
ary, was killed when the French
liner, Athos, was sunk by a sub
marine, 210 miles east of Malta on
February II, the State Depart
ment announced today.
Consul Keblinger, at Malta,
cabled a report of Hadden's
death to the State Department to-
day and said that the mission
ary's address was given as in care
of the Presbyterian Mission
Board at Nashville, Tenn.
A later dispatch added that
Hadden was drowned while going
back to the ship to assist some
others and that the submarine
showed neither flag nor number
by which it might have been
identified. r :.
The dispatch, however, estab-
iishcd that the Athos was tor
pedoed without warning.
3 The later dispatch from Consul
Keblinger said the Athos was car
rying troops and may have been a
transport. No steps can be taken
until this fact is definitely deter
mined. This government probab-
ly will have no cause for action if
such is the case.

HIS HOME IN A STATE OF
WAR
No Peace for a Teuton Whose
House Was Divided Against
Itself.

A policeman found man lean
ing weakly against lamp post
the other night. He was carry
ing lopsided load of alcohol.
Fearing he would overflow and
freeze, the cop gave him a gentle
nudge with his night stick.
"Get out of here and 60 home"
he ordered.
Z" can't wept the man with
strong Teutonic flavor. "I
wish was dead. l come from
Bavaria, my wife she is French
and her mother, who lives by us,
is Swiss. Ny oldest girl got mar
ried to an Italian, and my other
one to a Dane, and now since this
country looks like it goes to war,
my three sons say they arc Amerf-
cans. What do I want to go home
for-to get killed."
The cop rubbed thoughtful
finger across his face.
"Well," he said, Its agin
regulations, but you got to go
somewhere" and he eased him
gently into the back entrance of
a saloon and put him in a chair.
The woe-begone Teuton wept
loudly as the policeman went
away.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Presi.
4 dent Wilson today took the inev.
table step and asked congress fo1
+ authority to use. the forces of the
!; United States to protect Ameri.
can ships and lives against the
German submarine menace-to
put the nation in a state of armed
neutrality.
The immediate response was
the introduction in the house of a
bill approved in advance by the
president. empowering him to
furnish guns and gunners to
American merchantmen; to en-
ploy such other instrumentalities
and, methods as may become nec-
'essary,, and providing for $780,
100000 bond issue, to be used in
his discretion for war insurance
to encourage American commerce
to brave the submarine peril. The
bill may be brought up in the
house tomorrow, with special
rules for its immediate considera-
ton. A similar bill will be. con-
Rdered tomorrow by the foreign:
relations committee.
The presidents long-expected
action. while received in the main
with expressions of support,
threatens to force an extra ses-
'sion of congress. .
Republicans, disinclined to]
grant blanket authority while
congress is in recess, give evil
dence of opposing the legislation
the president asks, not for the
purpose of Withholding it, but to
force him to have congress in spe-
cial session to take a hand in the
next steps which they feel will
lead to war. The republicans are
receiving passive support from
the democratic element classed as
pacifists. ,.a |
Washington, Feb. 27.-At the
White House today it was made
known authoritatively that the
deaths of ten Americans in the de-
struction Of the Laconia was a
clear-cut and ruthless violation
Of American rights and life; a
demonstration of what might be
expected in the future, of suffi-
cient force to hurry Congress in
to clothing the President with full
to meet the peril.
The Senate foreign relations
committee late today agreed ON a
bill to give the President author
ty to supply merchant ships with
arms and gunners and to use
,ther means necessary to handle
developments in The submarine
'ituation. A motion to "direct"
he President to arm the ships
vas voted down.
The bill as framed by the COM
nittee follows the precedent Of
819, empowering commanders of
merchant vessels to arm for their
wn defense and authorizing the1
resident to supply the means for
rming vessels fore and aft for
offensive purposes.
The Senate bill empowers the
resident to use "other instru-
lentalities" as he asked.
