PORT OF NEW YORK
 CLOSED BY COLLECTOR

New York, Jan. 31.-Orders were issued tonight to the torpedo boat stationed at Quarantine to preserve neutrality, not to permit any vessel either neutral of flying the flag of any of the belligerent to pass out tonight.
 The order applied not only to steamships but to tugboass. Sever. al tugs which passed quarantine early in the evening before the order was issued We're compelled to return to port. The purpose of the order was not disclosed.
 1t was learned late tonight that the order closing the port of New York was issued by Dudley Tied Malone. collector of the port, in whom is vested absolute authority and sole responsibility for the maintenance of the neutrality of this port.
 Deputy Collector of the Port Lamb and a squad Of customs off cers assisted by several Hoboken detectives carefully inspected to. night the German vessels docked at Hoboken, paying particular atten. ton to the machinery. lt was re- ported, however, that everything was found in satisfactory condition At midnight twenty patrolmen were despatched to the dock at the Hudson river and t30th street where five Hamberg-Amerioan line steam ships are tied up. Many other pa- trolmen were held in reserve in stations as far north as spuyten DuyviL The officers were not told what their duties were to be.
 The purpose of MT Malone's or der remained a mystery upon which he declined to throw any light. He has full authority to act upon his own initiative in case of emergency. as he is held responsi. bIe for enforcing neutrality. | While there was no apparent basis for the belief that such dras. tic action resulted from informa- ton that one or more Of the ureat German liners interned at Hoboken was preparing to make a dash for the open sea, yet deputy collector conferred tonight on the Hambura- American line dock with the chief of police of Hoboken and represen- tatiVes of the steamship company. Twenty-four steamships, some Of them the largest in the world. own. ed by German interests are tied up at piers on the New Jersey side of the Hudson river, while three Aus. trian vessels are docked at Brook. lyn piers. All of them have bee . under constant surveillance 6' United States agents to preevat any violation of neutrality. lt has been understood since the beginning of the war that prompt action would be taken If an inter antional situation should arise un- der which the crews or agents Of the steamers might desire to de. stroy their own vessels.

Washington. Jan 3t.-The presi- dent saw no callers, but is under stood to have Lss1 the telephone freely. As far as could be learned no plans have been laid for him to go before congress. as he did to announce the sending of the sus. sex note threatening to break off diplomatic relations.
 President wilson went to bed at II o'clock tonight after spending the evening alone in his study with a copy of the German note. This apparently disposed of expectations that some action might be taken before morning.

ton Of Great Value.

New York, Jan 3l--Francis A. Con nolly the Washington broker and partner of R. w. Boiling. a brother-in- law of President Wilson. who on De cember 20 gave F. F. Hutton and Company. New York brokers, an ae- curate resume of the presidents peace note ten hours before it was l published. failed in two and a half hours of grilling examination by the congressional inquisitor'ai committee today to name the exact source of his information. He specifically eXonorat- ed Boiling, however, from all blame for the leak on the note.
 To the best of his knowledge. Mir. Connolly told the committee repeated ly his advices 10 the Hutton firm were based principally on gossip" and "rumor' he gathered in his office and deductions he had made from q speech he heard President Wilson de- liver at a Gridiron Club dinner in Washington on December 2. In vain did sherman l.. Whipple, counsel for the committee. and all it's members six of whom are attorneys, attempt to draw from Mr. Connolly the name of a single person who gave him any of the information he forwarded to New York.
 Even declarations by Representative Renuet of New York that Mr Con onlly must have been possessed of a remarkable gift of prophesy and that he had strangely worded his resume "in the language of the highest form of statesmanship' failed to disturb him Any clever person. Connolly said, who would mingle in the right circles in Washington with his ear on the ground could gather much in- formation of great value
 Connollys examination was unrinish ed when the committee adjourned to- night The committee. according to certain members, were somewhat at a loss as to what angle his interroga. tion should take when it is resumed tomorrow.
 Although Connolly, in his resume. a copy of which he had drafted from memory for the committee the origin. al still being missing, mad described the forthcoming note as "a movement of great moment he declared its sig nificance had not impressed him. In proof of this he said that his books showed he had not acted on the in. formation in the market. In fact. he said. everyone of his customers lost money in the subsequent crash.
 It was his desire Connolly conced- ed, to make a strong impression on the Hutton firm as much as anything else that led him to send the forecast The message was the only one of it's kind which he had sent since the had induced r. F. Hutton and Company to become his New York correspon- dent in Auguest
 Touching on Bolline's partnership Connolly declared shat the fact that he was a relative of the president had not influenced him the slightest in in- viting Boiling to become member of his firm Asked if he had consulted with Boiling in preparing his resume he asserted that he had not talked with Boiling about the note either on December 20. or any other time until after Boiling had testified before the committee in Washington two weeks ago.

tce and gave her assurances. in the Sussex case, to abide by international law. The Lusiania Falaba and scores of other ships were sunk under the decree.
 American citizens and American ships are warned from entering the war zones, although certain precau- tionary measures are suggested for distncuishing American steamers not carrying contraband according to the German list These conditions in al most the same form were rejected when proposed by Germany early in the ueguuutions over thn lusitln,a At that time Germany proposed to guarantee immunity from attack 10 certain specified passenger ships sail, ing on prescribed courses with aereeu distinguishing marks and carving no contrahand President Wilson reject ed the proposal promptly on the ground that lhe United States was coutending only for it's rights.
 The new German proclamation brushes aside all the perplexing col lateral issues which have surrounded the submarine controversy and brings ii back 10 the point where if was left at the conclusion of the Sussex case.
 Today's announcement rcciting the refusal of Germanys enemies to dis cuss her peace proposals and referring to the starvation blockade says
 "Thus a new situation has sprung up which forces Germany also to new decisions
 The new decision is exactly he one forecast when the sussex ,negould3gs were closed.
 In the note conveying her pledges to keep submarine activities within in- ternational law Germany included a threat of resumption if the United States did not succeed in lifting the British restrictions on commerce to Germany and the European neurals and the United States in reply eX. pressly warned Germany that her P ledRes must be absolutely uncondi tional
 "Neutrals.' said Germany in the Sussex note, cannot expect that Ger many forced to fight for her eXis tenca. shall for the sake of neutral in terest restrict the use of an effective weapon if her enemy is permitted to continue to apply at will methods of warfare violating the rules of interna tional law should the steps taken by the United States not attain the subject to have the law of humanity followed by all belligerent nations. the German eoyernmen' would then be facing a new situation in which it must reserve its complete liberty of decision
 To any such reservations the Unit ed States demurred in no ml lertain terms.
 "The United States feels it neces- sary to state" said President Wilson's reply. that it takes it for granted that the imperial German government does not intend to imply that the mainten- ance of it's newly annuouced policy is in any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic neeotiations between the government Of the Jpit ed States and any other bellieerent government notwithstanding the fact that certain passages in the imperial governments not5k4ieht appear to be suseeptBie of tha lonstruction

SNAILS AID THE WAR FLIERS
Apparently Useless Creatures sno"
Aviators When Machines Are Out
of Balance.

The variety of material used IN
modern war is simply extraordinary,
A large price was paid last summer
by the French for dried walnut
leaves. 1t is said that these are used
for staining the faces and hands OF
sharpshooters so as to darken then
compilations.
White mice used to be kept in sub
marines to give timely notice of the
escape of injurious gases. 1t appears
that there is now demand for snails
for the French aircraft service. These
apparently useless creatures have, 1t
seems, most amazing sense of bal
ance. They know instantly when one
side or the other of an airplane is
higher or lower than the opposite
side, and Immediately begin climb
ing up the incline so caused.
A pilot, therefore, has only to
place few snails on the fuselage Of
his machine, in front Of him, and
can then get an indication Of his bal
ance with minimum Of trouble. 1t
should be added that, when in a
cloud, it is next to impossible to
judge of the tilt of a plane without
some special telltale.

if few slobbery-fool editors, aching to kiss some

If this is to be war of democracy against
