The press unanimously subordinates all Dther war news to give prominence tc Berlin dispatches, while the foreign jfUce statement, followed quickly by publication of the German decree, indicates the government authorities Lake the German threat as one requiring a prompt counter stroke. As thr statement says, the authorities are "considering more stringent measures against German trade." The ministers are treating the subject as a particular urgency. The German press bails the newlj announced naval policy with grca* satisfaction. Comments received in London indicate the hewspapers consider sufficient the warning to neutral ships that the waters surrounding the British Isles are to be considered a military area after February 1ft and that ships attempting passage outside of the channels specied do so at their own risk. ' Some' English newspapers declare the German announcement should in the end benefit' England in that it rightly entitles the British gov ernmcnt to declare contraband all foodstuffs destined for Germany.

After a long debate last week, the State Senate refused by a vote of 22 to 19 to strike out the enacting words of Senator Sinkler's bill to require school attendance. The Laney amem ment to provide for an election if each district before the law shall become effective therein was passed b> a vote of 2.3 to 17. This amendmcnl does away with the district exemp tion provision contained in the origi rial bill, that the law shall first go in to efFect Statewide and be petitioner out of 2i school district by a majority of the qualified voters. Another am endment phices the maximum limit o the compulsory period of attendance in rural districts at four months, am further exempts children from rura communities from attending school in towns or cities. - . i * . . . 4 .
