HAVANA, oct 3i-For several nights
the German steamer Bavaria has been

European war. \ fortnight ago the Gov

The Bavaria has been in refuge here

fully coaled and provlsioned. and II IL

warned the Bavaria against using hrr

that the German cruisers Gneisenau and

There IS the strongest suspicion here

Revised List Expected to
Cause Much Trouble in
.G -
10, Commerce.
..UNPR ECEDENTED STEPS
o. TAKEN BY BRITAIN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-American trade
I with Europe will be seriously affected
40 hy new turn given the general ques-
g. ton of shipments by sea. The new
situation has arisen as the result Of the
"a, announcement by Great Britain to-day
got, new list ~ contraband.
@'' The revised list contains in the class
henceforth To be treated as absolute
contrapand of war many articles. such
~ ms copper lead, oils, rubber, motor
vehicles and other articles not usually
no listed by belllgerents.
The significance Of the British action
:, lies in the fact that IL her new list
stands she will not hesitate to seize and
v,sse condemn all cargoes Of this character
provided there Is any evidence that they
are destined to reach the territories oc-
cupied by her enemies. Germany and
Austria.
Evidence that such cargoes are TO he
first discharged in the port of one OF
ihe neutral countries adjacent to Ger
many and Austria will not be accepted
by Great Britain as conclusive proof
of the neutrality of the ultimate des-
tination. she will hold the cargoes If
she finds what she considers satisfac-
tory evidence that after their discharge
in neutral ports such cargoes would be
transshpped into bellgerent territory.
American Protest Expected.
The position taken by Great Britain re-
garding these articles Is most advanced
and, in general. unprecedented There
is no doubt that the United states will
take exception to the designation of some
Of these articles AS absolute contraband
and serious diplomatic interchange be-
tween the two Governments will be in
"ugurated. At least partial victory for
Great Britain in these discussions is CON
coded at the outset
In any event Il seems certain that the
conclusions which may be reached will
mark the end of the usefulness OF the
Declaration Of London AZ a compilation
OF rules of maritime warfare. as the new
conraband HIST is in many instances alb
solutely contrary to express prohibitions
contained in that convention.
While the latest British classification OF
contraband is contrary tu rules laid
down in the London dec,arat. IN, the re-
vision OF the list Will make IL possible
for Great Britain TO interfere with Ameri-
can shipments Of copper. oils and other
products bound for neutral countries and
at the same time keep within the rules OF
the London convention affecting such in
references.
Under Great Brtains previous classi.
fcation Of contraband, however, such in
references would have been contrary to
the London declaration Under that con-
vention a belligerent is permitted to seize
and condemn Cargoes Of absolute contra
band II she can prove that their ultimate
destination is the territory OF the belliR-
erent. regardless OF the fact that such
eargoes may be for discharge at u neutral
port.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-11-01
The British Departure.

The new British list departs widely in
several instances from this general rule,
though her action is by no means the first
OF its kind IN the history OF recent wars
Metallic ores and rubber are declared by
the London Convention to be articles which
may not be declared cOntrdhand Of war at
ALL yet the new list classes them as abso-
lutte contraband.
Barbed wire and implements for fixing
and cutting the same fuel including oils :.
balloons and flying machines &c, are
declared by the London Convention to he
conditional Contraband yet are found
IN the new British list of absolute con-
traband
In addition, sulphuric acid range find
ers; copper lead, aluminium the
metallic ores declared prohibited-motor
vehicles of all kinds and parts, motor
tires and mineral oils. all appear on the
new list as absolute contraband whereas
they do not appear in any OF the Lon
don Convention lists, nor in any other
contraband list in the present war.
II is expected that Great Britain Will
Justify the rather remarkable departure
from previous procedure on the ground
that the changing conditions Of modern
warfare make 1t necessary for the pro-
lection of her interests, and also make
IL proper within her rights $ a bellig-
erent
The revised contraband lists are as

The British declare that they desire to
AFFECT American trade as little aS possi-
Bile. At the same time the British Gov
eminent insists that II must prevent its
enemies from getting fresh supplies Of arti-
Giles and material useful IN war. lnfor-
mally American shippers have been
urged by the British to make wholly clear
the neutrality Of the ultimate destination
OF their expectations of contraband
The United States Supreme Court has
held that goods used exclusively In war
are always contraband that goods which
are useful for purposes OF both war and
peace may or may not be contraband.
while goods not used In war are never
contraband
While the Views Of different Govern
ments have always differed about what is
and what Is not contraband. there has
been n constant EFFORT to reach an agree
ment as to classification. hence the alb
solute and conditional contraband classi-
fications In the London Declaration and
IN the contraband proclamations OF the
present war.
Usage has practically agreed that goods
which may be but are not necessarily for
use In war should be conditional contra
band and entitled to more favorable treat
ment by helligerents than absolute con-
trabird

Assailing the Collar.
Providence Journal. )


 The casual observer of transatlantic
 affairs must be convinced that either
 the silly season" is beginning un, usually early abroad or the routine
 of life in Paris must be getting fear,
 fully dull, when so eminent d person
 as M. Anatole France can find noth
 ing more worthy of his reforming ac- tivities than the masculine starched collar He has started an anti-col,
 larite league, according to report and
 his present ambition is to induce q,
 majority of men tU wear soft shirts
 with collars open at the neck.
 It is futile project, of course, and
 it seems foredoomed to failure. There
 have been periodical assaults upon the stiff collar as an establishment of
 masculine apparel, especially on the
 ground of it's being an incongruous
 device in warm weather, but they
 have all suffered an ignominious col
 lapse. The important fact remains,
 on the aesthetic side, that a collar inn
 parts needed finish to an attire that
 in most other respects may be as free
 and easy as one may desire. The average man is not physically calcu. lated to appear to advantage without collar or with a soft, low-necked collar. The masculine neck, as a rule, is not a thing of beauty, and when freely exposed it gives the general | impression that the owner has left
 undone some of the things which he ought to have done.
 The most important consideration is that of comfort, and in that particu-
 lar common sense and experience ! unite in favor of the starched collar, i just as they united in largely elimi- mating the stiff bosom shirt and mak- l ing the ''negligee" popular. For a | long time a theory persisted that the

RETAIN CHAMPIONSHIP
Jr. Employed Boys Take Series From
 Students Class at Y. NJ. c. A.

A team representing the Students class lost, the second of a series or three games with the Junior Em- ployed Boys nine last evening at the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium. The score was 3-2. Consequently the Junior Employed boys are recognized as the champions of the Boys depart ment.
 The Junior Employed Boys aggre- gation gained the championship ol the Boys department league a short time ago. Some of the students thought that thess championship of the league did not'include necessarily the championship of the entire de- partment and challenged the league leaders.
 By virtue of the fact that but four men appeared on the floor for the first game, it was forfeited to the Junior Employed boys. Therefore, the result of last nights game gave the series to the champions.

Size of

collar was a warm weather abomina- tion, and a substitute for it was found in the so-called soft collar, which con- sisted of several mussy-looking layers of fabric that resembled d bandage and suggested that the wearer was suffering from a sore throat. Discern ing men soon found that it was about as hot, clammy and uncomfortable an affair as could be contrived for an instrument of torture, and indescrib- ably worse than the article it re- placed.
 As a matter of fact, in the ordinary pursuits of man, the starched col- lar, if sufficiently large, is the coolest and most comfortable contrivance that can be worn about the neck.
