I BRITAIN SUMMONS
i HUNGER AS AN ALLY
1 NAVAL WAR ZONE METHODS ARE
NECESSARY 'FOR NATIONAL
PRESERVATION.
THE GERMANS WANT FOOD
If United States Will Furnish Them
and Refuse Allies Then All Will
Be Well.
Berlin, via London.?Germany's reply
to the protest of the United States
against designation of a naval war
zone about the British Isles is couched
in the most friendly terms, but
firmly maintains the position of Germany
as already announced.
The note, which has been transmitted
to Washington through the
American Embassy, explains that Germany's
action was made necessary by
Great Britain's policy of attempting
to cut off the food supply of the German
civil population by a method
never recognized in international law.
England's course in ordering merchantmen
to fly neutral flags, equipping
them with artillery and ordering
them to destroy submarines, Germany
oontends, renders nugatory the right
of search and gives Germany the
right to attack English shipping.
The reply closes with the expression
of hope that the United States
may prevail upon Great Britain "to
return to the principles of international
law recognized prior to the outbreak
of the war" and in particular
obtain observance of the Declaration
of London. If this were done, the
note explains, Germany would recognize
in thitfs, says the reply an invaluable
service toward a more humane
conduct of the war and would act in
accordance with the new situation
thus created.
FLEE BEFORE GERMANS.
Populous Towns In Eastern War Zone
v > Emptied of People.
Petrograd, via London.?The German
advance from East Prussia upon
the towns of Kovno and Grodno appears
designed to cut the railroad
communications to Warsaw, rather
than to an effort to take the Russian
fortified positions in that territory.
Along the line from Plock to JNiemen,
about 200 miles in length, there
has been intermittent fighting. From
all the towns in this district, the
most populous of the empire, the civil
population is fleeing, thronging the
highways and railroads.
The German tadvancfe guards are
reported to have proceedd from Augustowo
towards the railroad between
Grodno and Bialystok and to

former place, where they are said to
have been checked by the Russians.
The Germans also are reported to
be attempting to break through between
Kovno and Grodno, taking advantage
of the 1 frozen Augustowo
marshes and Niemen River, and facing
the possibility of an early thaw
which might leave them at the mercy
of the Russians.
The line to the north of Warsaw
of Blonck, Nowo-Gorgiewsk and Serock,
is well defended.
Frank James is Dead.
Excelsior Springs, Mo. ? Frank
James, of the notorious James gang,
died on his farm near here. James,
who was 74 years old, had been in illhealth
several months and was stricken

Washington Plate to White House.
Washington. ? Miss Mary Custis
Lee, daughter of Robert E. Lee, has
presented to Miss Margaret Wilson,
for the White House collection of presidentical
chinaware, a plate of the
George Washington dinner set. It is
one of a set presented to General and
Mrs. Washington by American officers
of the Society of the Cincinnati, founded
at Annapolis in 1783 by American
and French officers who served in the
Revolution. The plate, considered in
many respects the most valuable piece
in the collection. '
Steal Safe From Train.
Richmond, Va.?Two men boarded
the first section of train No. 61 of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad Company, due here at
12:30 o'clock in the morning, and after
overpowering the express messengers
threw the safe from the doorway and
escaped on a heavy grade running up
to Franconit a short distance north of
Fredericksburg. It is believed that
the men boarded the train in Washington.
While the train was nearing
Franconio they entered the car and
held up the messengers.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION
I ?
THIS PHASE OF THE WAR OVERSHADOWS
NEWS FROM THE
BATTLE FRONTS.
Military Movements of the First Importance
Are Taking Place.?
Struggling in Carpathians.
London.?In the absence of any
striking news from the two European
battle fronts, public attention in England
was centered on the threatened
blockade of the British Isles by German
submarines and mines in retaliation
for Great Britain's act in prohibiting
the carrying of food to Germany.
. .
Great Britain received through Ambassador
Page Germany's offer to
withdraw her threat of a blockade if
the British Navy will permit the free
movement of foodstuffs to the civil
population of Germany.
It is not believed here the offer
will be accepted. In fact, Great Britain
already is preparing to retaliate
against Germany by placing under
more stringent control ships destined
to German ports; and a proclamation
momentarily is expected declaring a
blockade of the German coast, or ait
any rate, the prohibition of foodstuffs
destined for Germany. The Cabinet
considered this question and it is understood
the decision is awaiting
formal confirmation by the Privy
Council.
In the meantime British and neutral
vessels are moving as freely as
usual, except those belonging to a
few Dutch lines, which have reduced
their number of sailings. Norwegian
and Danish insurance companies have
given instructions that steamers insured
by them shall 'have their National
colors, the names of the ships
and the country of their origin painted
conspicuously on tbe sides of all vessels.
Holland and Italy, like the United
States, have protected to Germany
against lier ar zone threat and have
asked Great Britain not to make free
use of neutral flags. Similar representations
are expected to be made to
the two countries in a joint note by
Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Will Not Furnish England Shells.
Pittsburg, Pa.?For "humanitarian
reasons", a large local steel company
has declined to bid on a contract to
furnish the British government a consignment
of drop forge shells for
which $450,000 was offered.
Big Batting Mill Burned.
Charlotte.?Fire of unknown origin,
which broke out shortly after midnight
in the plant of the Charlotte
Cotton Fiber Company corner of West
First street and the Southern Railroad
completely destroyed that plant
in Ward 3, including the main manufacturing
building, several small outhouses
and a portion of the warehouse
adjoining in hich was stored
a quantity of waste cotton. The loss
will be between $50,000 and $60,000.

No Change In Mexican Situation.
Washington?The United States,
| President Wilson said has received
i no confirmation of reports that Spain
I had addressed the powers on restoring
order in Mexico. The president
told callers there was no material
change in the Mexican question. Official
advices represent the situation in
respect to diplomatic corps as growing
worse. Newspapers in Vera Cruz,

CLAIMED STATE'S RIGHTS
PALMER BILL PASSES HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES BY THE.
VOTE OF 232 TO 44.
Vi/ould Bar Products Made in Whole
or In Part By Children From' Interstate
Commerce.
Washington.?The Palmer bill to
bar products of child labor from interstate
commerce was passed by the
house 232 to 44 after a lively debate
and the issuance of a writ of arrest
for absentees to suppress a filibuster.
Opposition to the bill, led by Representative
Byrnes of South Carolina,
was based on the contention that jt
interfered with the state's rights.
The measure declares it unlawful
for producers, taanufacturers or dealers
to ship or deliver for transporta
tion in interstate commerce the products
of mine or quarry made wholly
or in part by children under 16 years
old, or, products of mills, canneries,
workshops, factories or manufacturing
establishments made by children under
14 or those between 14 and 16
who work n^ore than eight hour? a
day, or more than six days a week or
after 7 o'clock at night
Inspection by the Department of
Labor would be authorized and fines
of from $100 to $1,000 or imprison- '
ment'from one month to a yeaT, or
both imposed for violation. When
Representative Palmer proposed suspension
of the rules to pass the bill
several Southern members protested
and started a filibuster.
JANUARY EXPORTS OF COTTON.
300,000 Bales More Exported This
Year Than During Last January.
Washington?Cotton exports were
I beyond normal proportions during Jan!
uary. The quantity was more than
300,000 bales greater than last year,
according to the monthly report of
the census bureau.
Cotton used was less than the usual
January total, as 500,000 fewer spindles
were operated during the month.
Manufacturing establishments held
less cotton Janue.ry 31 than they did
a year ago but in independent warehouses,
the quantity on hapd was
greater by 1,800,000 bales.
Exports included 585,534 bales to
the United Kingdom; 217,982 bales to
Italy; 99,913 bales to Germany, 70,901
to France and 397,845 bales to
all the other countries. Total' exports
for the six months ending January
31 were 2,500,000 bales less than
during that period last year.
