BLOCKADE DISCUSSED IN PARLIAMENT
* • • ABSOLUTE CONTRABAND OF FOOD ' SUGGESTED THE NEXT ATTACK ON ENGLAND ; WILL THE GERMAN FLEET comEe out? AIR TORPEDOES AND MONSTER GUNS COMPULSION BILL PASSED Tile comparative scarcity of war news from tlie various theatres is partly explained in a cablegram from Sydney stating that 'trouble with tho land-lines in' Australia is delaying the messages. Tho strau- ■ gle-hold blockade lias been the subject of further references in both Houses of Parliament; the question of proclaiming food-as absolute contraband was talked out. Tlie oneiny is reported to be in possession of all the principal towns in Monte negro, and stories of an alleged capitulation to Austria are "again afloat. There are no material developments elsewhere. There is a good deal of matter qn tho subject of air raids; the editor of an American aviation journal, basing his ' s remarks 011 information which lie says is reliable and satisfactory, predicts a new attack on'iSngland. . This enterprise, it is suggested, will be reinforced by air-torpedoes fired from air-ships at high alti- . tude, and monster 17-inch guns for the battleships. Tho Compulsion - Bill has been read a third time in the House of Lords.
