FAGE TWO TEXAS SENATE PASSES TEH-MOKE BILL AMENDMENT PROVIDES ACT SHALL BECOME EFFECT IVE APRIL 15. Austin, Texas, March 8. With the tiiial passage of the ten-mile zone hill by the senate yesterday, all of (iovernor Hobby's war reg ulation measures have received the approval of both houses. However, the zoni measure was amended and must be returned to the house for concurrence or request for confer ence committee. The Amendment is that chancing from April 1 to April 15 the time the bill shall become effective. Yes terday M. II. Wolfe of Dallas head of the prohibition executive com mittee, said that the 15 days' differ ence in time was too trivial to cause a fus-. A a result the house may concur. The house occupies an advanta geous position. If it concurs, the senate is on record with the neces sary two-thirds vote to put the bill into effect earlier than ninety days after adjournment, but if it should refuse aud force a conference which would recommend April 1, the sen ate minority might niu-ter sufficient vote. 'o prevent the bill becoming effective before 00 days after ad journment. There ate some who think that if the proposition is put 0 th senate in a conference bill calling for pril 1, the necessary 21 votes will materialize and make the bili effective as of that date.

Officials Appear to Be Satis fied With Progress. Washington, March 8. More submarines were destroyed by the allies and American naval forces in December than Germany was able to build during the month, accord ing to information reaching Wash ington. This tact developed here in discussions of the statement made to parliament Wednesday by Sir l-.rie C. Gedtles, first kml of the British admiralty, that the subma rines vver-.' being checked. Whether succeeding months have shown a net loss in German sub marines is not known here. It is believed, however, that the anti-submarine campaign has proved so ef fective that increased efforts this spring will see a steady decrease in the number of U-boats available to prey on allied and American ship ping. What officials know of plans for pressing home the attack with in creasing vigor explains the feeling of optimism thai now prevails in of ficial circles despite continued heavy drains on ship tonnage through U-boats. The gradual de cline in tonnage losses were graphi cally pictured to parliament by Sir l'ric with curve charts. American naval officials appear to be satisfied that the weapons with which they expect to crush finally the submarine menace arc forth coming. HERMAN TEED IS DEAD. Springfield, Mo March 8.
