WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. IT,
The senate has turned its attention
to the international crisis again, a
debate on the administration bill to
curtail activity of foreign agents
developing many references to the
situation with Germany and drawing
from Chairman Stone of the foreign
relations committee a bitter denun-
citation of newspapers which circu-
late false statements in order to ere
ate a sentiment for war.
"There is no shadow of doubt
in the minds Of any fair thinking
man." said Senator Stone, that
there is a cabal of great newspapers
in this country trying to create SEN
timent and coerce the government
of the United States into an attitude
of hostility with one of the belliger-
ent powers. believe any one who
makes such false statements is a
public enemy and that he should be
punished"
Senator Stone made this state
ment in discussing section of the
bill, which would make it crime
to wilfully or knowingly under oath
make an untrue statement intended
to influence the measures or con-
duct of a foreign government in re-
lation to any dispute or controversy
with the United States. He argued
that the same punishment should
apply to any person, including edi-
tors or publishers, who knowingly
or wilfully make such statements
not under oath.
81 am not going to be rushed of
my feet by the hysteria that is In
the air." said Senator Cummins. e

peoples power to use the armeC
forces OF the United States to cap
ture a ship OF foreign nation un

BOSTON, Feb. 17.-Captain Chas.
A. Polack, of the North German
Lloyd steamer Kronprinzessin Ce-
cille testified in the Federal court
at a hearing on petition for sale
of the ship that he had been order
ed by a man connected officially
with the German embassy to disable
the machinery to prevent the use of
the ship by this government in the
event of war. The witness refused
to divulge the name of the man
giving the order as he might be
tried for treason when he returned
to Germany. The judge decided that
it was unnecessary to tell now. The
captain was in Hoboken when he
received the order, and telegraphed
his chief engineer to disable the
engines. This was done January 81.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. IL
What virtually has become a block
ade Of the American Atlantic ports
by Germany, is regarded as over
shadowing all collateral issues of
the situation. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the present will soon
go to Congress to announce steps
for relief.
The Turkish foreign office gave
Minister Elkus expression today of
friendship for the United States
with the hope that they may con-
tinue. There was no reference to
supporting Germanys submarine
policy.
Officials recognize that the hold
ing of American ships in port is
fast becoming intolerable Means of
protection against submarines are
under consideration. Officials be-
lieve that the president has power
to direct the navy to furnish vessels
with guns and gun crews, but the
possibility that a clash with Ger
many might result is expected to
cause the president to go to Con-
gress before taking any steps.
Two important moves by Great
Britain to meet the submarine men
ace are announced. A new danger

England's enemies. The British
blockade and the "rationing" of Hol.
land and Scandinavia will continue
at before and new list of articles
which cannot be imported to Eng
land will be published shortly in
order to save cargo space and pre-
vent unnecessary expenditures.
The falling off in the rate OF daily
destruction by submarines to a few
thousand tons has made a great
impression here. and given rise to
speculation as to whether the re-
turn of submarine fleets to their
base, or the success of British pre-.
cautions is chiefly responsible.
There has been no official con
firmation of the report of a break
with Austria. So far as the state
department knows, the ambassador
is still presenting the views of the
American government in regard to
Germanys submarine policy, to
which Austria adhered, although a
final report from him showing a
break with Austrian is to be inevi-
table is expected at any time
The council of state defense con-
tinued its work, preparatory to the
possible mobilization Of national re.
sources, during the day.

NEWSPAPER CABAL
TRYING TO START HOST|u|TIES

Senator Sutherland and Senator
Fall opposed the amendment. the
former declaring it would be tying
the hands of the executive" and
citing many provisions of law,
which he said already gave author
ity to use the army and navy to
preserve neutrality without such re-
strictions.
Senator Fall said the provision
without the Cummins amendment
was merely designed to fill in gap
in the neutrality laws"
Senator Cummins finally withdrew
his amendment in order to perfect
it. He probably will reintroduce it
when the debate is resumed tomor-
row.

zone has been proclaimed seeking to
block practically the whole route
of exit towards the Atlantic of the
German U-boats from their bases
IN Germany and Belgium. With the
English channel practically closed
by an elaborate system of nets,
mines and patrols, the means of exit
for the submarines has been for
the route north of Scotland and
down the Irish coast. The new dan
ger zone, designed to close that
way out, is understood to have been
literally strewn with mines.
Details OF plans for changing the
port OF call and examination for
boats between this country and the
northern European neutrals from
Kirkwall to Halifax were made pub
lie The idea is to allow the vessels
to avoid the German submarine zone
by swinging around Ireland and
Scotland down the Norwegian coast.
A second port of examination for
southern commerce may be estab-
lished later at the Bahamas or Ber-
mudas.

CANVAS TOWNS IN INTEREST
 Y. M. C. A. WAR WORK FUND

Little Rock, June 4.-The campaign for raising Arkansas quota of $15,- 900 for the Y. M. c. A. war work fund of $3,OO0,O0O is progressing most satisfactorily, according to E. c. Corwine, the executive secretary of the state council.
 Crossett was asked for $500, and on Saturday reported $391 already raised, and the balance in sight. c. H. Winston, the secretary, is doing good work for the cause. Other towns in Southeast Arkansas, including Hamburg, Eudora and Lake Village, are active, and will raise their pro- portion.
 TeXarkana is enthusiastic about the proposition, A. S. Laird, the secre- tary, having aroused great interest. The board of directors started today to put on campaign in Mena, De Queen, Prescott, Ashdown and Arka- delphia, and by Thursday expect to have canvassed all of these towns. The local campaign will be put on in Texarkana Thursday and Friday, as sisted by D. c. Alexander, one of the international secretaries for the south, and A. B. Nichols, social and religious work secretary at Fort Logan H. Roots.
 Jonesboro and Hoxie will put on at once, in charge of Berl
