Ai-KKKMAX. j (Copyrighted by the United Press. ) j BERLIN. Jan. 31. An effective blockade against Oermany Is Impos sible, Admiral Von Holtzendorf. chief 1 of the admiralty staff, declared in an exclusive statement to the United ' Press today. England could not stop the commerce on the Haltic between Sweden. Denmark and Oermany. he said. The Hritlsh submarines have been unsuccessful in the Baltic and the Russian fleet Is in frozen water. He hinted strongly that ilermany Is prepared for any English action. "C.ermany looks earnestly but fear lessly upon plans which would cause suffering to women and children, but because the blockade is Impossible, 1 Say It is a bluff. Anyone knowing the Baltic situation will say that com merce between Sweden and 'jermahy Is absolutely normal. It Is four weeks now since an English submarine had any success its the Baltic. We intend to make it more impossible for them to succeed. "England already hampers German trade. "If a blockade were declared now. it would violate International law. for it would not only blockade Germany, but a lea neutral countries iils.ut her. England purposes to make difficulties for our families, thinking this will effect our men In the trench es. It will for they will fight harder "England's purpose in this war Is to cripple Germany and destroy her commerce After eighteen months she is unsuccessful. An effective blockade will have absolutely no ef fect upon our military determination for we are prepared for any emer gency. "We have all things necessary for v.ar for several years." Asked how long the war will last. Von Holtzendorff said: "Until we are victorious. It will last until the allies learn they cannot accomplish purpose defeating iter- many, win last long time." "England does not fear the tier, man navy, but she does fear Ameri ca and the growing American navy," Von Holbondorff declared that not more than 2.'. German submarine have been lost. He said some sub marines had gone through English nets without damage. LANSING WANTS FUND FOR SECRET WORK IN EUROPE WASHINGTON, Jan 31.

Phillips, son of a prominent Spokane family, Is at St. Anthony's hospital an a result of a shooting at the Palace rooming house early yesterday mornmg, and Wil liam i). "Whitey" Marren, a local bartender, who is said to have done the shooting, and Dee Matlock, well known local man. are nelng held at the county Jail. Matlock was the only other person present at the shooting. The shooting Is said to have been done during a scuffle over a gun be tween Phillips and Marren. Phillips was shot through the left groin, the bullet severing a big artery and com ing out through the back of the leg. The same bullet, presumably, grazed the right leg of Marren, inflicting a shallow wound. The affair occurred about 1:30 yes terday morning in Marren'a room at the lodging house. The statements of the men agree that Marren and Matlock were In the room drinking from a bottle of whiskey which the former had Just received from Cal ifornia, when Phillips and Hen Rudd entered the room. ft seems that thejee, has been bad blood between Marren and Rudd for some time and a quarrel between them very promptly ensued. Phil lips statement Is that he and Matlock prevented them from fighting and that Rudd then left the room. Then, according to a statement made by the wounded man to hit brother, mother, the doctor and nurse, Marren. who had been drink ing rather heavily, began quarreling with him. and finally drew forth a gun. a combination rifle and revolver known as a ::Game Getter." Phil lips stated that he rappled with Marren in an atterrjpt to take the gur. away from him ami thHt during the scuffle. It was discharged. According to the story' told by Mar ren and Matlock. Phillips first se cured the gun and struck the latter over the head An abrasion on Ins head Indicates that he was struck at some time or other. Officer on the Scene.
