British Order Closes German Ports Affects Neutrals
London reports Britain’s order in council to halt German commerce. It forbids merchant vessels sailing from March 1 1915 to German ports or with German goods, directs discharge in British or allied ports, and places proceeds under prize court control. The measure also covers goods from German ports and enemy origin property, with court procedures to restore proper claims and potential condemnation. The order also allows future relaxations for countries refusing German-origin commerce.

East Washingtonians back old site for Eastern High
The Mast Washington Citizens Association urged District commissioners to abandon condemnation for a new site and instead pursue the former site at 314 Pennsylvania Ave SE or the Washington Asylum Hospital site. They argued Congress has not funded clearance or street closure, making current plans wasteful. The 74 acre asylum grounds offer possible school conversion without cash outlay as it is government property.
