LAMENT OF A LONDON PAPER.
Comment on the AnglO-Amerienn
Agreement.


Agreement.
The New York Evening Post has a re-
view Of London press comment on the
Anglo-American agreement on the Vene-
zuelan question.
The most notable extract Is one from the
Spectator, which. the dispatch says, ia
ments over the folly of a country like the
United States, without a standing army
and a great fleet. putting itself into the
position of being dragged into war when
ever a petulant American half-caste state
chooses to pass an insult on European
power.
The Spectator says: IF the United
States assumes suzerainty it must guar
antee decent order. Thirty or fifty years
hence Europe, pressed almost to madness
by inability to feed overcrowded peoples,
will want to swarm into South America un-
der its own flags. To deny them will mean
attempting to crush the fleets and armies
Of the combined continent Of Europe"

CATTLE SHIPMENTS S.
Boston Will Profit Little by the Opening
of Richford as Port of Entry.

According to the best authoriti es upon
the subject of the gain to Boston and
the loss to Portland resulting from the
|reopening of Richford, VT, as a port of
entry for Canadian livestock for ship
ment will not be considerable. Of late
years few Canadian cattle or sheep have
been shipped from Portland during the
winter. The great bulk of the shipments
has consisted of American animals. At
the close of navigation in the ST. Law
renee each year only a small quantity of
live stock remains in Canada for imme-
date export, and no large quantity is
ready until the early spring. about the
time the Portland shipping season is
over. The benefit from the reopening
of Richford as port of entry for live
stock is chiefly in favor of the Canadian
shippers, as it allows them to obtain
space in the steamers leaving Boston as
well as leaving Portland When Rich.
ford, VT, was previously opened, Port
land, however, was always favored as
shipping point by the Canadian CATTLE
men, since they are acre or less connect
panies here whose summer port is Mon
treal. The strictness of the inspection
of Canadian cattle at U. S. ports of
entry will tend to prevent any great
gain to Boston by the number of cattle
sent there for shipment during the win
ter. The Canadian shippers are in con-
tinual dread that their cattle, owing to
fo,7 bai
fail to receive a permit for passage
through the United States. This would
cause a serious loss to the shippers, as
they have space engaged for several
| weeks ahead on the steamers, for which
they would have to pay whether they
use 1T for cattle or not. Owing to this
fear Canadian livestock is at the present
time being shipped from St. John, N.
B., where it has no inspection to pass
nd last year some Canadian shippers
who had the privilege of using Island
Pond as port of entry preferred to send
their stock to Halifax, N. S., notwith-
standing the greatly increased haul by
rail through Canada, rather than run
the risk of having it stopped on the way
W orulthu.' Lie loVf caUble and 1915
sheep that were taken by the Dominion
liner Scotsman yesterday were all Ameri-
can stock; and the entire space upon the
other steamships leaving Portland dur
ing February has been engaged for
American cattle. Hence it may be
judged that if the reopening of Richford
as United States port of entry is vic
tory for Boston it is a barren one
