TRAFFIC IS NOT HELD UP Minister Says Chief Effect of Ger man. Ruthless Campaign Has -Been to Retard Trade of Non-Belligerent Nations. LONDON, Feb. 20. "The Western At lantic, the North Sea and the Mediterra nean are now outlaw waters. Murder may be committed on them, but the attempt to hold up all sea traffic there has not succeeded. It is the task of the Western powers and their allies to vindicate once again the freedom of the seas." This was the reply of Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of Blockade, to the question of the Associated Press as to whether he could say anything with regard to the effects of the new sub marine warfare. Lord Robert Cecil added: "So far. it has had little effect on the entry of supplies to this country, but It has to some extent retarded trade between neutral nations. For instance, you know, most of the vessels trading from Scandinavia and Holland to and from America put into the United King dom by agreement in order to avoid the trouble and danger of visit and search on the high seas. Some of these ves eels are reluctant to continue this prac tice, foolishly, we think, since the dan ger of putting into a United Kingdom port is not serious and the practice is convenient for all neutrals. "We desire to meet the wishes of neutrals in this as all other matters. Accordingly we are arranging in cer tain cases that they shall be examined at some other British port, such as Halifax. This course does not mean the abandonment of the right of visit and search. ' All it means is that we substitute one form of exercising that right for another, and. In order to make our action quite clear, we are declar ing at the same time that vessels try Ing to run the blockade with goods to or from Germany, directly or indirect ly, will expose themselves to condem nation in a prize court. We are adding that if they fall voluntarily to enter a British port for examination they can not complain if their conduct exposes them to suspicion and, indeed, const! tutes a prima facie case that they are engaged in enemy trade. in regard to Belgian relief ships, we will not place the slightest obstacle in the way of any agreement whereby they may be able to reach Rotterdam even should such an arrangement mean a different route from that which they now pursue through the danger zone, GIRL CLEARS JITNEUR Mrs. Xi.

M'ARTHUR ASKED TO AID Telegram Calling for Support of National Prohibition Amendment Is Spnt Leaders Review Campaign at Salem. Just becaute Oregon has passed a bone-dry law is no reason why those who obtained prohibition for the state should rest on their oars waa the warn ing sounded last night In a "dry" rally at Centenary Church. In fact, it was the composite asser tion that the fight had only begun and all zealously Interested should keep watch -for infractions of the law and at the same . time do all in their power to bring about National prohi bition. The first speaker introduced by R. P. Hutton, state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, was Mrs. Jennie Kemp, state president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She was Introduced as coming direct from the smoke of battle" at Salem, where she took great interest in the passage of the bone-dry law. Mrs. Kemp said it was interesting to note how dry the Legislature was when the people had voted the state dry, and referred to the "soppy seven" members of the House who voted nay on the bone-dry law. .' Author Pralaea. Dry Bill. J. P. Newell, of the union dry com mittee,' reviewed the campaign at the last election. Dr. J. E. Anderson, member of the lower house from Wasco County and chairman of the House alcoholic com mittee, who introduced the prohibition law into the 1915 Legislature and also the bone-dry bill, reviewed, the main points of the new bill and character ized it as a "thoroughly good, sane and workable bill, the best that could be framed under present conditions." Dr. Anderson expressed the opinion that Oregon, would never again see the licensed saloon. Dr. E. J. Moore, assistant general superintendent' of the Anti-Saloon League of America, in whose honor the meeting was called, paid tribute to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union for keeping the temperance work alive when the "manhood of the country would do nothing against the liquor traffic." Northwest Vote Helps. One of the biggest factors in creat ing new dry territory, he said, was the fact Portland-. Tacoma. Spokane and Denver had once voted wet and at the succeeding eleetion reversed their vote. He said it was making business men all over the country realize that prohi bition did not adversely affect business interests. "The crushing of the liquor traffic Is a business of the' church, because the church is the friend of humanity and tne saloon its foe. "So far we have won along the lines of least resistance. It is for us now to create an alert public sentiment to back up law enforcement, for the saloon will not obey the law unless it has to." Sixty-eight business and professional men at a luncheon for Dr. Moore at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday sent a tele. gram to Representative C. N. McArthur asking him to use his Influence for the ivational prohibition amendment. The Bankhead bill, which closes the mails to liquor advertising and the bill to make the District of Columbia dry also were urgea. Attached to the telegrom were the following signatures: L. H.
