London, Aug. 16.-What is considered in gov
eminent circles here to be not the least impor-
tant feature of the latest British note delivered
to Russia to-day. is that dealing with the ques-
ion OF contraband. Great Britain reiterates the
suggestion verbally made by the Foreign Sec
rotary, Lord Lansdowne. to Count Benckeh-
dorff the Russian Ambassador to Great Britain
that the regulations issued by the Emperor de-
filming the rights Of Russian warships toward
neutral vessels carrying alleged contraband
should be modified. and particularly urges a re-
vision of the list OF articles declared contraband'
Because of her dependence on foreign countries
for food Great Bri ain made an especially strong
objection to the inclusion Of rice and foodstufrs
generally.
In the exchanges Of communications II has
been the contention of Russia that in her regu-
lations such foodstufEs only become contraband
if Intended for war purposes, or If sent at an
enehy's cost or order" Russia further points
out that this is along lines laid down In the
case of the steamer Mashona at the time OF the
Beer war by the Uuited States. Russia also rep
resented TO Great Britain the difficulty in de-
termining the real destination Of a cargo be-
cause private firms in Japan are acting in behalf
OF the government
The officials Of the Foreign once are reticent
as TO the length the government has gone in
war hut it is said I'm trustworthy quarter
that the British note advances beyond the posi-
ton laid down in the Mashona case. and that
all fOodstuffs now practically declared in
the British view to be not liable to seizure.
If this statement proves TO he correct, diplo-
mats say the declaration will meet with colo
reception the Continent. Russia. it is stat
ed is not willing to aid Japan to obtain supplies
for tho subsistence OF her army or navy. Ger
many is not disposed TO recognize principle
which would mean such a great increase in the
fighting power OF the British Isles. and France
holds the same view.
The attitude OF the United States in the past
has been such. the officials here say, as 10 war
rant the belief that Washington is prepared 20
go TO considerable lengths in preserving the
non-contra band character Of foodstuffs.
Regarding the Knight Commander case the
Foreign Ofice IS informed that it win he pre-
scented to the Admiralty Court at 81. Peters
burg for final appeal within a month. In the
mean time the two governments continue TO
discuss amicably the question Of the disposl-
iion OF the incident.

The Health of the Community.

The Herald and News has at va
rious and sundry times had some
rhinp to saw about the health OF the
community and the importance OF
the officers and authorities being
vieilant and taking every precautlon
to prevent disease. This has been
done and said with no spirit OF crltl-
cism, but only in the interest OF the
public veal. We have been crltl-
cized at times for referring to these
things, but that has not deferred this
newspaper from speaking.
The physicians tell us there IS al
wavs local cause for fever. II
that be true it behooves all good cltl-
zens to be active in their efforts to
find out the cause and remove 1t.
We never realize to the fullest the
importance of this subject until the
fever comes home to us. Then 1t IS
too late. There is no epidemic OF
fever in the community, possibly no
more cases than may be found irs
other communities OF the same size,
but there have been several cases,
and If there is local cause it should
be our earnest endeavor to find out
what it is and remove it.

the cause should be removed. Moth

give the people who hear them in
formation and instruction on the
questions of the day.
Men may differ and differ honestly.
It is we'll they should, for otherwise
there could be nothing Tor debate.
And yet they should differ without
being personal or endeavoring to pull

cussion of any questions that may

necessary to give every citizen in the
rural districts his mail at his door

chance, should for the present be I'M
successful we are assured it will not
in the least jeopardize the service we
now have. II another route should
be established the patrons Of the

service they now have and those on
the proposed new route would also be
served. Then why should any one
object.

One OF the great drawbacks to the
extension OF mail delivery in the
country is the condition of our public
highways at certain seasons OF the
year. With good roads we could
have many things in the country OF
which we are now deprived.
