FIGHT ON SHIP BILL
SKiFTSJO HOUSE
Compromise Measure Seems
Unlikely to Win Conces
sions Are Insufficient.
Washington. The fight over the
government ship purchase bill as
shifted from the senate to the house.
In the senate the measure, blockoj
by determined republican opposition,
was displaced as the unfinished busi
ness, and a cloture rule, designed to
terminate the filibuster forcibly, was
taken up.
The cloture rule presented ia the
senate met the same republican fili
buster that had blocked the shipping
bill.
The democratic caucus of the house
committed Itself to the administration
compromise ship, purchase bill by a
vote of 154 to 23.
Seventeen democrats in the caucus
announced their intention of voting
gainst the bill despite the caucus ac
tion, taking advantage of exceptions
granted under the caucus rules.
Charges and counter-charges from
democratic and republican sources
concerning influences for and against !
the government ship purchase bill,
which have smouldered about the'eap
ital for two weeks, were made the sub
ject of a special investigation by the
senate.
The decision to inquire into alleged
lobbying by agents of the "shipping !
trust" against the bill and into intima
tions of negotiations for options on
belligerent ships to be sold to the gov
ernment was unanimous.
With the decision departed the last
hope of some of the most earnest
champions of the shipping measure
that the bill could be passed in the
senate by March 4.
The administration compromise
measure, as it was being framed would
organize a shipping board with an ap
propriation of $40,000,000 to engage in
shipping for a period ending' two years
after the termination of the war. Then
the ships would be turned over to the
secretary of the navy, to be leased or
operated in the merchant service in
his discretion. This plan to place the
government permanently in the ship
ping business was the point insisted
upon by the administration. It is also
the provision against which the senate
repubican filibuster is chiefly aimed.

RUSSIANS DEFEATED
BY QUIJETSTRATEGY
Berlin, via London. The success of
the Germans in east Prussia empha
sizes, according to the view held here,
the quiet strategy of Field Marshal
von Hindenburg, which is designed to
strike an enemy when and where the
blow is least expected.
Von Hindenburg veiled his plans by
reinforcing the Austrians in the Car
pathians in order to make a strong
diversion and misled the Russians into
thinking that the real flanking move
ment was to be carried out there.
Meanwhile he assembled a strong ar
my above tho Mazurian lakes, com
posed for the most part of freah re
cruits. Twenty-six thousand Russian troops.
20 big cannon, 30 machine guns and a
large quantity of war material were
captured by the Germans in east Prus
sia in the sudden offense which has
sent the Oar's force of invaders hur
riedly back in the direction of their
own border. The kaiser was in the
vicinity, of the operation in person.
CARRANZA ISSUES
DEFIANT DEMAND
Washington. General Venustiano
Carranza, as first chief of the consti
tutionalist army, notified the world
that all communications to his govern
ment from outside sources must pass
through him.
Carranza's decree reached "Washing
ton through Rafael Zubaran Capmany,
his minister of the interior, who tele
graphed it to Elisea Arredondo, Car
ranza's local representative. The or
der apparently will make it impossible
for diplomatic representatives of for
eign governments to deal with the Ca.
ranza government except by going to
Vera Cruz, which they have been un
willing to do lest such action be con
strued a3 formal recognition.
Already most of the diplomats at
Mexico City have asked their govern
ments for permission to leave when
the situation becomes intolerable and
some of them have been advised to
use their own discretion.
The order may also affect the activ
ity of American consular representa
tives, who heretofore have dealt with
the de facto government, whatever it
happened to be.
i GERMAN MOTE TO
AMERICA RECEIVED
Recession From Flan Offered
if Allies Will Allow Food to
Reach Civilians.

baud and foodstuffs destined lo the
civilian population of Germany were

Germany proposes to put into effect

he strewing of mines In waters sur
rounding Great Britain and Ireland.
Alleged arming of British merchant
vessels is given by tho German gov
ernment as ground for attacking en
emy merchant ships without search or
previous visit.
It was Bald that tho note received
by the ambassador from his foreign
office was not a reply to the recent
American note to Germany in regard
to the war lone decree. A more com
prehensive and detailed reply to the
communication is expected soon.
Tho British reply to the American
note of protest on neutral shipping
dated December 20, was also received
Besides entering a general denial that
there had been any unwarranted in
terference with legitimate shipments,
the new nolo contains a statement
from Great Britain that the recent
government decree taking over the
flour and grain supply in Germany re
quired added precautious on the part
of the allies.
Swiss Demand Apology.

has established that tho aeroplane
which recently flew over Swiss terrl
tory and on which the Swiss troops
