Declares King George In Opening
British Parliament.

LONDON. Feb. S.-King George, open
ing Parliament. said the response oi
the allies to the invitation of the
President of the United States out
lined their aims as far as could be
done at present. The King added:
Threats of future outrages upon pub
lie order and the common rights oil
humanity serve to steel our determi
nation
The opening of Parliament, always
picturesque, was shorn of much Of its
color and pomp. The peers wore none
of the customary robes and regalia
The King wore the uniform OF an ad
miral and all the lords and members
of the House of Commons who are
entitled to wear either army khaki OF
the navy blue did SO. There were
also other innovations in keeping with
the time of war. The Kings escort
consisted of officers of the overseas
fighting force. The Kings gallery in
the House of Lords was set apart fol-
wounded soldiers.
For the first time in the history oi
Parliament the Importance of the for
eign press was recognized by the al
lotment of seats in the press gallery
to correspondents from allied and neu
tral countries.

Washington, Feb e. Immediate
Strengthening to the utmost of the
United States navy. especially in sub
marines and in vessels equipped to
fight submarines. is plan of the gov

the full support of Congress.
In the House Representative Emer-

for immediate construction of addi-
tional submarines. 1t is believed it
will be passed without opposition.
President Wilson issued proclama-
tion under the authority of the recent
shipping act prohibiting American
ship owners from transferring their
vessels to any other registry.
Speeding up preparedness meas
ures the Senate judiciary committee
reported favorably one of the seven
teen conspiracy bills ito prevent and
punish conspiracy to injure or destroy
property situated within the United
States and belonging to foreign gov
ernment with which the United States
is at peace"
