.ENGLAND'S DEPENDENCE
ON,THE UNITED STATES
Products of American Manufacture
Greet Briton on Every Hand.

That England Is more dependent upon
the United States for the necessaries OF
life than is generally supposed Is shown
In an article diagnosing trade condi-
tons between the countries, which has
been prepared by an officer of the for
eign department. The article Is quoted
in a report sent TO the Department of
Commerce and Labor by United States
Consul T. b. Keene. The article. in
part, says:
1.-The Englishhman in easy circum-
stances. on rising in the morning, shaves
himself with a safety razor of Yankee
make. He puts on North Carolina
stockings and shoes from Boston. and
throws over his shoulders suspendeFs
from Connecticut. Into his pocket he
puts a Waltham or WatsF bury watch.
and sits down to his "dejeuner." He
congratulates his wife on having cor
set from Illinois and a bodice that
comes from Massachusetts.
He eats bread made from American
flour ground in the mills of the Great
Lakes. He eats bacon from Kansas
City and oysters from Baltimore, while
his wife cuts a beef tongue from Chi
cago. And while eating his luncheon
he reads his paper, printed by an Amer
lean machine on American paper with
American ink. and probably edited by
some lively journalist from New York. -

GUAR6ShEN TO APPEAL
FROM HAIRLESS ORDER
Demand the Money Won in
the Sea Girt Shooting.
BEFORE SECRETARY ROOT
Auditor to Be Asked to Pay the Money
to the Men Out of the
Treasury.

A controversy between General Har-
ries and some of the officers and men Of
his command in the District National
Guard over the disposition of prize
money won at Sea Girt and the matter
of pay while the teams were at the New
Jersey range may soon be settled by an
appeal to the Auditor for the War De-
oartment
In fact. an appeal is said to have been
made already by one officer of the
Guard. but it has been withdrawn in
order that the test may De made by an
other officer. who is held to have bet
ter claim than the one who first made
the appeal.
These two Questions-the disposition of
cash prizes and the matter Of pay for
the Guardsmen-have agitated the Dis
trict militia boys ever since the winning
Grit last September.
Thus far the controversy has been
more or less OF a one-sided affair. and
that on the part of the members of the
Guard. who participated in the matches.
for General Harries has refused to adj
NIT that there is a controversy. but has
gone on and done as he thought best
in the matter.
The prize over which there Ia q dis
pute amounts 70 a little less than $50,
but the marksmen declare that IL is not
so much the money they are after as
the vindication of the principle for
which they contend, that Is. that they
are entitled personally to the cash
prizes which they won by their SUI
perior craftsmanship. The money was
not paid TO them. but instead. was
turned into the Treasury by General
Harries, where e now remains.

All Involved.

It is alleged that the n.-sh was paid
TO Major James E. Bell, captain of n
District brigade team. end that It was
his purpose 10 turn IL o CT to the boys
who participated in The contest. In
stead OF being permitted to do so 1t is
said that General Harries requested the
money be turned over to him. Major
Bell complied with the request of his
superior officer. and upon obtaining the
cash, General Harries placed 1t in the
Treasury.
The men in the team. and many OF
their friends in the Guard maintain that
the commanding general had no right
TO do this, but the cash prizes belonged
TO them personally and should nave
been divided among them. Ever since
this action on the part of General
Harries there have been mutterings Of
/ 81 feeling and unofficial criticism Of the
commanding general
The second complaint involves a large
number OF Guardsmen, IN fact, practi-
calIy all Of those who went 10 Sea Grit
They insist that under the Dick militia
bill they are entitled TO service pay
during the time they were at Sea Grit
They assert that the Guardsnen from
the States have all been paid. In sup

Treasury. which they aver covers their
case
