New York NouO Closed Port
Because of Submarine War

New York, Feb. New York today
is virtually a closed port to following
the receipt OF Germany's message warn
ing the beginning of blockade on
England and unrestricted submarine
warfare.
Only one ship of any size-the Hol
land-Ameriean liner Nordam-is in port
today and no sailings of any large trans
Atlantic vessels are now scheduled
The British Atlantic fleet was en-
route to the waters off New York har
Dor two days ago, ostensibly bent on
chasing the German raider which has
been operating in the South Atlantic.
The entire fleet is now in position to
convoy shipping if necessary, according
to admission in British circles here.
The huge Vaterland, the world s larg
est ship, is the only one of the intern
cd German vessels in this vicinity, ac-
cording to reports, which has coal
enough for more than a days voyage.
By order of Dudley Field Malone, col
leetor of the port of New York, Uni
ted States destroyer, stationed at quar-
entine in New York harbor, turned back

given, but supposed the action was TAX
en- to give ship owners tie to learn
the gravity of Germany's message.
British naval preparations around
New York harbor within the last few
days give ample proof, according to
shipping circles, that Great Britain
knew of the approaching pronounce
ment of Germany.
Great Britain's North Atlantic squad
ron was ordered several days ago into
waters adjacent to this harbor, osten-
sibly for the purpose of searching for
a German raider. 1t is now believed the
precautions were taken with view to
assisting the warships as conveys for al
lied ships leaving New York harbor.
The British and French naval at
taches conferred today and announced
that they could take no action until
they received instructions from their
home governments.
Officials of steamship lines said no
cancellation of sailings had been order
ed as yet. They apparently were tax
ing no action until the situation clears.
British steamship officials announced
they had no authority to cancel or post
pone sailings as such action would have
to be ordered from London.
They were bitter and ironical in their
comments on the German proclamation
and instructions to the American gov
ernment regarding painting ships. One
expressed the opinion that American
shippers "would play hell" conforming
to the German decorative scheme by
which American ships are to be identi-
fled.

NOT HOSTILE TO

Corvallis Gazette -Times.)

Corvallis Gazette Times
The senate reporter on the Salem
Journal, who is doing the best daily

dustry. He is willing, he says, to do
anything to help regulate the pest. He
would stand for a law compelling them
to take out steam shoveler's license,
as well as carry card in the Wood
Choppers union. He would regulate
their work hours and compel them to
wear a bell, nk-honk, fog horn,
head and tail lights, calf weaner and
a dog muzzle, He would hedge them
about with cerfew ordinances and steel
traps and by law confine their work
entirely. to logged off lands thereby
making them take the place of Coolie
labor. He would remedy the damnum
absque injuria maxim by repeating it,
and let the beavers dam the legislature
instead of water rights or substituting
the theory of damni injuriae acto. He
says he didn't mean to laugh at Mr..
Lafferty's bill but that he got SO
wrought up over the matter that he be-
came hysterical, and he makes restitu-
ton thus:
The Corvallis Times, if we are not
mistaken, seems to think that the senate
reporter for the Capital Journal has no
sympathy for the folks over in Benton
county in the beaver-infested region
just because he spoke of Lafferty's bill
anent the pestiferous busy bodies in a
light and airy vein. Such is not the
case. 1t was because he did sympathize
with the beaver victims that he men
toned the matter at all. "There is
many truth spoken in jest, (" and in
this case there was not a word about
the measley pigmy submarines the re-
porter did not feel clear down to his
sandals. Anything Representative Laf-
ferty does to those destructive wards of
a sentimentally damphool state has his
hearty endorsement, even to the consoli-
dation of the game department with the
