ON NEUTRAL RIGHTS
Hay Sends Circulars to Ambassadors in
Which Stand is Taken Against Abso-
lutte Recognition Of Fuel and Raw
Cotton as contraband Of War.

Washington. Aug. S.-Following is .
summary Of the declaration by Secre-
tary Hay on the right of the neutral
nations during the waE embodied in q
circular to the American ambassadors
in Europe:
Recognition of the principle OF the
treatment OF coal and other fuel and
raw cotton as absolutely contraband OF
wa- might ultimately lead to the total
Inhibition OF sale by neutrals to tie
people of belligerent states of all art
icles which could be finally converted
to military uses.
Such extension of the principle sim
ply because they are shipped by a neu-
tral to non-blockaded port of bell
ligerent. would not appear to be in ac
cord with the reasonable and lawful
rights of neutral commerce.

Tense, is an accident.
The state officials are much relieved
because OF the report that John w,
Stone, who killed Kahler in Des Moines,
will not be given certificate OF san
ity by the prison physician. The father
of the man had taken steps looking to-
ward bringing the matter 10 the atten-
ton OF the court and had represented
that Stone is sane It was realized
hat the only hope of keeping him at
Anamosa lay in preventing deciara-
ton that he is now sane. Now the
prison physician refuses to declare
Stone cured, and this will end the mat
ter for the present.

not an Illustration of national vulgar
ity. Treating customs Of clubrooms
are the hideous 'freemasonry' OF drink,
as some one has not too strongly de-
scribed it, wherein the symbol Of
friendship consists in calling for what
one does not want and drinking when
one is not thirsty. This is a usage in
which barbarism and vulgarity are
fifty married.
I'VE can disown such abuses and re-
huke them by our refusal to share in
them We can set at our own tables

When we come to deal with those
among whom intemperance most wide

thing to protect them from the harp
les who prey upon their labor and
whose unlicensed gains are curse and
a dishonor to the community that per-
mits them.

attack with scrapnel. but the Russian
artillery temporarily silenced the Jap
fire and enabled the Koslofr battalion

for reinforcements, which were sent
from the Irktusk and Yenisei battalions
