WASIUXOTO.V, Feb. 1 "Watch-1 ful waiting" characterised the policy adopted by the administration In the International problems confronting America, particularly those raised by Germany's submarine blockade of the ! I'rltlsh coast. American relations' with Germany are not regarded asj ominously aa before the receipt of the Kaiser's note. Some officials admit-; ted they are still grave, however.

The Norwegi an tank steumer Belrhlge. tnroute to Amsterdam from Xeiji Orleans with a cargo or oil, either struck a mine or was torpedoed in the Straits of Do ver.

This, with the attempted destruc tion of the French steamer Dinorah. Id the first move of the Germans In carrying Into effect the blockade against England. The German submarine 1-16 tor pedoed the Dinorah off Dieppe while enroute to Havre from Dunkirk. The submarine's torpedo did not strike the Dinorah with full force. One of the vessels plates was sprung but the Di norah was towed safely Into port by a tug. The Celridge was steaming In mid channel when a violent explosion stove the plates below the waterline. The pilot and eighteen of the crew left in small boats and have not been neara irom since, oeverai volunteers remained with the captain of the tank- er until a Dover tug arrived and tow-1 ed the vessel to Walmer. As there are no mines in the chan nel where the Belridge was struck, British admiralty authorities declare that If the Belridge was a victim of a mine the mine was planted in the past 24 hours by the Germans. It Is gen erally believed the Uelrldge was tor pedoed. PaHsports and permissions to sail were withheld passengers .today and the Killings of a number of cross chan nel vessels were cancelled. Advices received Indicate the, German fleet Is not participating in the blockade, but Zeppelins are known to be patrolling the Xorth Sea on the lookout for ves sels carrying cargoes of food. The Dutch steamer Helena was stopped by a Zeppelin today. After ascertaining the vessels Identity, the pilot of the Zeppelin signaled the Hel ena to proceed. This is the first time with the exception of the raid on the British coast that Zeppelins have been real factors In the war operations. Another raid on the English coast Is expected by British officials. Every precaution is being taken to protect the coast towns.

They asked that they be given until March 1 to get in a bid and trl.j re'iuet was granted. The telegram from the Twohya vas occasioned 1 the fact that a California con'rar.or has been at Echo this week anl made an offer to bull'! the two-inlle tunnel, the principal part of the work. Hereto fore, the Twohya. have been hesitat ing about bidding on the tunnel work but, according to Asa B.

The plans of the project contem- plate the taking of water from Camas tieek and bringing It across the mountain In a tunnel. This tunnel will be two miles and more In length and will thus be :e principal part of the construction work, the remain der being the building of the canals The directors of the Teel project hi.ve taken all of the preliminary st pa necessary to the letting of the coi tract for :hj work.

When he heard the sad news, Mr. Kilkenny wa earoate from hia ranch' to Heppner to attend an Elka' cele bration In that city, and It was this that caused so much delay in reach ing him w ith- the Intelligence.
