Warming to France Also.

Warming to France Also.
The note declares at the outset that
the representations made in a friendly
way, but that the United States con-
siders 1t best to speak in terms OF
| frankness lest silence be construed
as an acquiescence in a policy on the
part of Great Britain which infringes
on the rights OF American citizens IN
der the laws OF nations.
Since France has adopted the same
DEGREES on contraband as has Great
Britain, today's note virtually is a
statement intended for all the mem
bers of the Triple Entente.
The document points out that com
plants on every side and public crit
icism in the United States hold the
British policy as directly responsible
for the depression in many Amert-
can industries, a situation the serious
ness of which must be apparent to
Great Britain. Reimbursement alone
for cargoes unlawfu1ly detained or
seized, it states, does not remedy the
evil, as the chief difficulty is the NOR
al effect Of British practice on Amer
lean exporters, who T restrained
by it from taking risks or hazards
which in no case ought to surround
legitimate trade between the United
States and other neutral countries.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1914-12-29

The serving table was attractiyely
arranged. a color scheme in red and
green being most effective. A large
basket filed with Richmond roses and
Stevia, with steamers of scarlet RIB
bon, formed the centerpiece, and scar.
let shaded candelabra cast a pretty
glow over the attractive scene. Christ
mas greens further decorated the in.
terror of the receiving rooms, and an
attractively arranged Christmas tree
was a feature Of the decorations.
Among the college girls who were
present were Miss Mary Frances Hart.

us. takes Body If Man
Killed by Canadians
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The
shooting OF two American hunters by
Canadian soldiers on the Niagara rty'
err near Fort Erie yesterday is view
ed by President Wilson with distress.
He told callers today he had received
no formal report on the incident and
hoped the accounts of the circum'
stances had been exaggerated.
Secretary Bryan instructed the
American vice consul at Fort Erie
to take possession of the bodies Of
the men killed and to do everything
possible for the wounded man. The
state department has reported the in
cident to Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the
British ambassador here.

By Associated PresS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-President
Wilson. referring today to the Amert-
can note to Great Britain insisting
on better treatment for American COM
merce, declared that large damages
eventually would have to be paid by
England for unlawful detention OF
American cargoes. =.
The President coupled a confirma.
ton of this mornings publication of
the sending Of the note and of its
contents with the statement that tho
government could deal c~onfdentially
with the subject only If supported by
absolutely honest manifests. He said
the great embarrassment to the gov
ernment in dealing with the whole
matter was that some shippers had
concealed c%ontrabands in cargoes OF
non.contraband articles, for example
under a cargo OF cotton. So long as
there were instances of that kind,
the President said, suspicion was cast
on every shipment and all cargoes
were liable to doubt and search. The
President pointed out that many pro-
tests previously had been sent in spe-
ciic cases and that If the contention
OF the American government was cor
rect, as he was firmly convinced it
was. plans for Naturalization ultt-
mately would have to be met by Great
Britain. Supplementary to previous
protests the new note, President VIII
son explained; represented fully the
position Of the United States, saying
that so far as theory was concerned,
there really was no debate on the
point raised, because England herself
In previous wars had taken exactly the
American position.
