It is doubtful If a Mingle Incident of the war, since hos tilities actually began, has aroused uch Interest a was manifested hero today In the cabinet session called to consider the Washington administra tion's protest against the treatment by the British navy of American com merce on the high seas. Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grey, back from his holiday vacation in the country, carefully reviewed the Amer ' lean communication at his office be fore he joined the other members of the ministry. To the meeting he carried with him the message itself, together with the reports his assistants had prepared, covering the various points made In .the protest. Vo Precedent, Borne Say. The American statement of the sit uation having; been based on the in terpretation placed by Washington le gal experts on questions of interna tional law, it was believed unlikely that the issues raised could be easily ' disposed of.

Washington, Dec. 30. Government fflclals made It plain here today that o reply was expected from England for several weeks to America's vigor ous protest against the treatment ac corded American shipping by the Brit ish fleet. The delay will result, they aid, from the serious character of the protest and the necessity for care in framing a reply. They also made it plain that the situation from an American viewpoint, was neither criti cal nor urgent. President Wilson and his advisers were admittedly puzzled today over the delay In the transmission of the note It was learned from a reliable source that the note was completed Thursday of last week. The president personal ly said yesterday that he thought it was delivered in London Saturday. In stead, press dispatches declare, the document did not reach the British foreign office until yesterday. 1 arty Linn Wiped Out. It waa evident in high official circles here that the protest will be strongly backed. Farty lines in congress will be "Obliterated and both houses will be united in their support of President Wilson-and his demands.

IS THREATENED IN CHINA BY YUAN'S BOLD STEP He Fixes Presidential Term at 10 Years, Allowing for Its Indefinite Extension. f I'nlfo Prea Leased Wire.) Shanghai. Dec. 30. The Peking gov ernment's latest order making the Chi nese president's term practically of life tenure was the subject of the most intensely interested comment today In various circles here. The fixing of the term nominally at 10 years would not have been regarded of so much significance but for the ad ditional provision that it might be in definitely extended by a two thirds vote of the senate. Inasmuch as Pres ident Tuan Shi Kai admittedly is in complete control of the legislative branch of the government, this waa taken by almost everyone to mean that he has no intention of relinquish ing his grip until death ends It, and that he probably will do all in his power to pass his power on to a suc cessor of his own choosing. Foreign traders in China, with whom Yuan is popular, because they think no one else is so well able as he to approximate a stable rule of his coun try, were mostly pleased. The same view was taken of the situation in con servative Chinese circles. Even In these quarters, however, surprise waa felt at the bolfiness of the step taken. The Republicans were not surpriaed, for they have contended for some time that the president had become a mere dictator, but to say that they were an gry was putting it too mildly. The prediction was widely made among them that the new. development would only, hasten' the revolution which un questionably has been simmering for months in the southern provinces. Latest accounts were to the effect that Tuan had completely crushed the plot to overthrow his regime and place the former prince regent at the head of the government until the deposed emperor comes of age, and then to put him on the throne. No definite ews was available, but it was rumored that there had been many executions in connection with the plot. Company eexs New Trial. Roscburg, Or., Dec 30.

NATURE'S RAGE COMPELS EOES TO HALT FIGHT Wind, Cold Rain and Snow Overwhelm Belgium and Northern France, Flooding Men in the Trenches. EPIDEMIC IS FEARED AS RESULT OF THE STORM St. Georges Is Taken by Brit ish Troops and Successes Won Near Zonnebeke (United Pmi Lrtcd Wire. Paris, Dec. 30. Belgium and north ern France were swept today by fierce gales. Torrents of cold rain felL There were occasional snow flurries. For 36 hours these weather condi tions had prevailed. It had compelled a slackening of the activity even of the artillery. "Water filled the trenches; the troops were soaked. Grave fears were enter tained that an epidemic would break out among them. There was already much sickness, due to exposure and suffering. To the southward, however, along the allies' center and right, the -situa tion was not so bad. In these districts the French displayed much activity, advancing steadily. Plan Recapture of Saint Mihiel. The German trenches on the heights of the Meuse were being shelled heav ily. It was believed the Gallic forces were preparing to attempt the recap ture of Saint Mihiel. Important operations were reported also in upper Alsace, and indications were that the French troops had al ready begun an effort to clear the province of Germans. Terrific artillery fighting was in progress today at many points along the battlefront west and northwest of Paris. This was especially true In the territory occupied by the French cen ter and right the latter in upper Alsace, where Gallic and German bat teries were engaged . furiously in tne vicinity of Aspacb. Germans Aim at Saint Georges. Despite the fearful weather in the extreme north the Germans had re newed their attempts to -recapture Saint Georges near Nleuport, where the allies advanced nearly two miles Tuesday. The French had reoccupied certain highly Important positions southeast of Zonnebeka and were in a position to drive a wedj?e into the German front at that point. The fighting in the Zonnebeke district has been des perate for weeks. The French finally took advantage of a German retire ment on account of the weather, ad vanced and captured the entire chain of trenches. The war office statement Issued today confirmed these reports, add ing that Saint Georges was being bombarded violently. Between the Aisne and the Cham pagne region, continued the comma nication, there was continuous heavy cannonading. GE BASE TUCfD AWAY UNDER ALBION WING Island of Herm, Leased to Prince Blucher, Used as Base for Channel Raids. (TTnlted Pres Leised Wire.) London, Dec. 15 (By mail to New Tork) Until recently Germany act ually had a submarine base In the Bnglish channel on territory belonging to the British crown. Destroyers of British shipping received supplies un der Kngland's very nose for a time. This fact was developed In connec tion with the announcement of the cancellation of a lease under which the island of lierm was held by Prince Blucher, a descendant of the famous general who helped the Duke of Wel lington defeat Napoleon at Waterloo. The government originally leased the island to a German company in 1899 and it was by the company that it' was turned over to the prince, who lived the life of an eccentric recluse on It for several years. It was searched after the war began, but the work was done by raw coun try militiamen, who, quite Innocent of military, knowledge, reported that they found nothing which could be used for war purposes. After several German submarine ex ploits in the channel a more thorough investigation was made. It revealed the presence on tbe islands of quan tities of fuel oil, torpedoes and other supplies. Motor boats, it appeared, had regu larly carried these stores and muni tions from Herm to submarines lying some distance off shore. There was also a wireless station, by means of which the princely recluse could communicate at will with Ger man warships. In short, Herm was an Jdeal subma rine base tucked neatly under Eng land's wing. Among those familiar with all the facts considerable irritation is felt, and. were it not for an indisposition on the politicans' part to embarrass the government in war time, it Is likely that charges of negligence would have been made in the house of com mons.
