NORWEGIANS ARE ANGRY
Newspapers Express Indignation
Over Germans' Sinking Vessel.
CHRISTIANIA. via London, Feb. 21.
Indignation at the sinking of the
Norwegian tank steamship Belridge by
a German submarine near Folkestone is
expressed by today's papers, which dis
cuss possible means of demanding satisfaction.
The Norwegian Journal or ommciic
and Shipping says: "The torpedoing of
the Belridge is an event which it is
unnecessary to characterize further.
The ship was bound from one neutral
port to another. She had been ordered
to paint the word 'Norway' In large
letters on her sides, which surely was
done. A repetition of the case may
easily raise the greatest obstacles in
the way of good relations with Ger
many. Needless to say, we shall not
abandon the right of thousands of years
to sail the open seas as neutrals.

If cloture is to come it must come at

Tho Senate never thtnKs OI cloture
until it needs It. That is just the lime
the Senate cannot force Its adoption.

After the Senate has wasted five or
six weeks in a useless discussion of
the shipping bill the Administration

the Senate rules in a way to limit de
bate. Immediately the motion vias
made to amend the rnl-s the filibuster
