WILL SINK NO MORE SHIPS
RUSSIA TO DISCONTINUE OUT
RACES, SAYS BALFOUR.
Lord Lansdowne Points Out Inadvisa.
bility of Declaring Food
Contraband.

London, Aug. 12.-In the house Of
commons Thursday Premier BalfOur
speaking on the same lines as Lord Lans-
perfectly confident that no neutral ship
would again be sunk by the Russians.
He fully agreed in the statement that
such sinking was an international out
rage and the government had expressed
to Russia in the clearest way possible
that view with the above result.
Great Britain is distinctly dissatisfied
with Russia's attitude in the case of the
British steamer knight Commander,
sunk by the Vladivostok squadron, and
continues to press the Russian govern
ment to make substantial notifications
of the list of articles regarded as con-
traband. Count Benckendorff, the Rus
sian am AMBASSADOR to Great Britain, called
at the foreign Office Wednesday, and con-
ferred for an hour with Foreign Secre-
tary Lansdowne, the latter bringing up
the question of the changes which should
be made in the Russian regulations in or
der to make them acceptable to the COM
mercial nations, besides pointing out the
inadvisability of declaring food, fuel and
clothing contraband under all circum-
stances. Lord Lansdowne dwelt on the
sweeping character of Russia's procla-
nation, some of the provisions of which,
after specifying various goods as con-
traband, closed with the word ''etcetera," :"
which, Lord Lansdowne pointed out,
can include anything and everything the
Russian authorities desire. AS this is a
serious restriction on neutral shipping,
Lord Lansdowne insistedthat the regula-
tions should not contain generalities of
that kind. In reply Lord Lansdowne
was assured that Russia had no desire
to unnecessarily hamper neutral ship
ping, but that she cannot afford to per-
nit Japan to receive supplies which
would facilitate her military operations.
Russia was prepared to modify her regu-
lations provided Great Britain on her
part would accept the regulations and
bind herself to observe them in future
wars in which she is involved.

The WOodmen Entertainment.

We wish some one else had the
job of writing up this entertainment
We don't care to appear conceited
by saying lot of good things about
anything we were so closely iden-
titled with nor do we like to pass it
by with mere mention as we think
it was pretty good. In fact if the
audience was composed of the aver
age number of competent critics we
are forced to believe that it was
very good, for as yet we have heard
nothing but the best words for it
and those connected with it. Of
course like all amateur theatricais
that are gotten uD in a rush as this
one was there were crudities that
married the smoothness of the pro
gra, III but all audiences under SIM
liar circumstances appreciate that
fact so we don't consider that
we have anything to apologize for.
The affair was given for the pur
pose of putting the local camp of
Modern Woodm0l on its feet finan-
cially and as it was success i'll
that particular the short -comings
from an artistic point of view may
be to certain extent condoned.

plays that opened and closed did
their as we'll as could be asked, es-
pecially Mrs. Penn and the three
little girls, Esther Stiegler, Lindell
Lundy and Fannie Penn, who took
part in the Christmas sketch that
closed the evening. During the
evening a handsome hand painted
sofa pillow was voted to the most
popular young lady and was won by
Miss Anna Stiegler, after a holly
fought contest in which some of the
leading young ladies of the city and
surrounding country were con'es-
tants. The management and the

assistance in making the entertain
ment a success
