Sir Stanley. "to permit the readers OF

London, Oct. 16.-In reply to an in
quiry concerning a report sent to New
York newspapers from Berlin TO the
effect that Great Britain is capturing
neutral ships "avowcdly TO break up
American trade with Holland" it was
stated at the Foreign Office that it was
scarcely necessary to deny such an al
legation.

that department said to-day, every
effort is being made 10 interfere as
little as possible with the commerce of
America and other neutral nations. in
so far as is consistent with the essen
tial interests of Great Britain as n
belligerent nation. Neutral shipping
has been held up only where the
cargoes were found containing contra
band Of war"

correspondent learns the important
fact that within few days the British
government will issue the first revised
list of contraband goods. This step will
put an end to the disagreeable uncer-
tainties that have harassed American
shippers 1t comes as climax to a
long series Of conferences between
Ambassador Page and representatives
of other neutral countries concerned
and Sir Edward Grey.
Owing to the fact that materials
which never before we're used in war,
such as petroleum and copper, are now
in great demand by the belligerent
powers and are therefore contraband,
there has been considerable unpleas-
antness over the whole problem. The
United States consistently urged upon
his majesty's government the advisa-
bility of making definite announcement
as to what is now considered improper
for export to England's enemies. and

The finishing
touch

q The finishing touch in
a Saks garment is not the
ephemeral veneer OF a
Hatiron, but the perma-
nent result of tailoring
which is good all through.
d Almost any garment
can be coerced into a
temporary semblance of
style, with the aid OF an
iron first, and a wooden
figure afterwards.
q But the garment that
will hold its shape, and
keep it's style through
hard and steady wear,
has got to have shape
and style tailored into it
stitch by stitch.
q The finishing touch in
a Saks garment is per-
lection itself, but at best
it is simply the expression
of a totally of touches,
whereby Saks clothes
retain both their shape
and popularity.
