Blockade of England Planned
Gcrmuny is preparing to c.ury the wnr to the seas. Advices to Amsterdam
nnd London indicate the greatest activity in nil shipyards of the Empire, where
nrmics of workmen are engaged in building a gigantic' fleet of wai ships.
It is said the Admiralty now has 800 submarines, which will be used in
connection with the now campaign.
There is no indication as to when the test at sea will be made.
The German plans n,re said to include a submarine blockade of the British
coast.
Great Britain is prepanng for the expected blow. The Admiralty is en
deavoring to effect co-ordinate action among the Allied fleets in order to meet
any enemy move.
Meanwhile the British war government is devising means to keep its shipping
tonnage up to normnl, which it has not been able to do on account of the growing
submarine toll. i
Diplomatic Washington hcais that Gcimany now will order all aimed
merchantmen attacked without warning. Thoie is a popular clamor in Geunany,
it is understood, for a resumption of drastic submanne waifaie.

TEXANS' "BIDS" TO CORTELYOU
Postoffice Inspector Will Handle Mail
for Camden Widow
In order to protect the Texas cowboys,
ranches and even professional men who are
not wearers of 'tight-fitting trousers and
"corset" coats, James T Cortelyou, postal
Inspector, has instructed the postmaster at
Camden to refctjto him the person who calls
for the mall of Mrs Trudell," the twenty-three-year-old
widow who wrote from Cam
den to the postmastei of Houston, Tex , for
a "big, strong and rough Texas husband "
The action of Inspector Cortelou is
taken, not to intercept any offers of love
to real, sincere widow, but merely to
ascertain that the United States malls are
not being used to promote any Illegal
"matrimonial trap" for simple-minded
Texans.

As for knowing McAdoo, Flsk flaifl he had

added 'since he becamo Secretary our paths

Fisk was empowered to closo up McAdoo's

turned over his securities mostly bank

was liquidated by January 1914 and since
