u. S. FOODSTUFFS
| not CONTRABAND
Agreement with Britain As
sures Shipments to
Holland Ports.
HOLLAND IS A FACTOR
Diversion of American Copper Cargoes
by British Is Not Discussed by
Three-cornered Council.
HOLLAND IS A FACTOR

BY an arrangement between the 45ritish
and Dutch and British and United States
governments, announced here yesterday
the unrestricted shipment of foodstuffs
from American ports to Holland is as
sured. Thus, one phase Of the general
question of shipments from the United
States to Dutch ports is disposed of. and
confidence is expressed IN official quar-
tiers that the remaining issues will be
arranged satisfactorily when they are
taken up for active consideration.
The arrangement effected yesterday pro-
vides that the British government will
revise its list of contraband, proclaimed
early - the war, SO that foodstuffs sent
60 Holland in neutral vessels will not be
regarded as contraband Of war by British
warships.
While American exporting and shipping
interests are thus protected, the interest
Of Great Britain that foodstuffs shall not
be conveyed to the German forces by
transshipment through the neutral terri
tory of Holland is served by the action
of the Dutch government. which has
placed an embargo upon the expectation
of foodstuffs and other articles generally
treated as contraband across her from
tier into Germany. Holland took this &C.
ton in order to prevent her territory
being converted into a supply depot for
the German army, by means of ship
ment landed at Holland ports and
then re-consigned to the Germans.
Result of Conference.
This three-cornered arrangement was
arrived at after several days Of discus
sion between Counselor Lansing of the
State Department and Ambassador Spring
Rice, and between Ambassador Page and
Sir Edward Grey in London.
The State Department has not yet been
officially advised of the diversion of
eargoes of American copper by the Brit
ish, and consequently there has been no
discussion of this subject with the Brit
ish government.
In view of the fact that the British
assert that the copper diverted was found
to be consigned to the Krupp gun fac
tories, in Germany, and therefore
obviously contraband of war. it is not
believed the United States government
will feel that IT is in a position to protest
against the British action. especially a.
the British government is paying the
American shippers for the copper. 1t is
expected, however. that there will be
soon a discussion of the treatment to be
accorded shipments of contraband ard
conditional contraband to Dutch ports in
neutral vessels.
The British government has notified the
American embassy in London of several
additions to the list Of articles which
the British will treat as conditional con-
traband during the present war. The
added articles are copper. unwrought;
lead, pig, sheet or pipe; glycerine. ferro-
chrome, hematite, iron. ore, magnetic
iron ore, rubber, hides and skins, raw
or rough tanned, but not including dress
ed leather.

This is confirmed by another fact-that
work on the Notifications around Vienna

Batteries are being placed in position
and mines laid. Sentries are on duty
night and day. All persons suspected OF

ing arrested. No one is permitted to ap-
proach the districts in which the defen-
sive works are being erected.
1t is now known that the Russians
have entered Hungary. 1t is believed,
however, that the real danger to Aus
tria lies with the Servian army, and il
is supposed that the Russian objective
is Berlin and that the Cars troops will
not tur naside from that aim.
All of the available troops have been
sent to Hungary in an effort to keep the
Russians from cutting the lines OF com
munication into Western Galacia-

Philadelphia, Oct. Theodore Roose-

The Coloners attack upon Senator Pen

influence be removed from this govern

Of New York: Mr.. Penrose, Of Pennsyl-

are battling, and we can expect no re-

The applause which greeted the
coloners denunciation of Penrost de-
layed his progress many minutes The

with a highly outburst.
When he was able to proceed he i'm

ALFRED L. AIKEN
 THE RIGHT MAN
Worcester Papers Commend His Ap- pointment as Federal Reserve Bank Governor,

The worcester, Mass, Post says ed- itorially: The right man in the right place will be Aiken as Reserve Bank Governor.
 No better selection could be made than that of President Alfred l.. Aiken of the Worcester National Bank for governor of the federal reserve bank in Boston. The new banking and cur rency system now going into effect, embodying the, best, so far as appli- cable to ruo American life, that the world: as-fearned on this subject, may fairly be accounted one of the best pieces of legislative work this coun- try has. seen. Still it is one that needs wise administration for. success. Diff culties and dangers are not only i'm herent in the work of banking but there are peculiar forces and tend eneies that need to be guarded against especially in the1 way of speculation generated imitation, so that, in spite, of all the careful safeguards of the law reckless, or short sighted or feeble ad- ministration of. the system might bring serious results. -se. fFi [.
 We may be sure that MT. Aiken's i'm portaut part in the great work will be long both conservative and wholesome ly-developing lines. He is al practical banker who sees banking matters, in their big relations and their connec- tionss with fundamental principles. He
 
 Taft offered him the assistant secre- taryship of the treasury, which he de- clinded because he preferred to live in Worcester.
 But not ly Worcester but the whole reserve district-one of the 12 of the country-will have confidence of MT Aiken's well-doing in this new posi- tion,f which he will. accept.
 In the same line the Worcester Gag cite says:
 The choice of Alfred L. Aiken as governor of the Federal Reserve bank in Boston is a token that Worcester has men of the calibre to take their part in important national affairs. MT Aiken will be one of 12 to- serve in these positions. That Is to say he will be one of F men in a nation o1 100, 100000 to actively direct the new ordering of its financial affairs.
 The work is one which requires in- ftiative of a peculiar order of ability bred of experience. Those who have watched the york of MT. Aiken as Q bank head in Worcester have reason tc believe that he will prove equal to the new and important duty for which he has been chosen. He knows his bus fness.
 There will be regrets that MT. Aiker is to end his intimate relations with the banking business of Worcester but they will be tempered by the knowl- edge that he goes to a high and hon. .ored position. The fact that he was chosen for this place will be generally

It is fact that in every man (not

 a lover who is called out in all his potentialities often by the most in- significant little things-as long as they come at the psychological mo ment; the glimpse of "a face at an unusual angle, an evanescent attitude, the curve of cheek often looked at before, perhaps, but then, at the mo- ment, charged with astonishing signi- ficance.
