contraband, applicable also with re-
gard to conditional contraband."
Thus. 1t declares conditional con-
traband is virtually on the same foot
ing as absolute contraband.
"Deprives Neutrais Of Food"
In consequence it continues, "the
supply Of neutrals Of objects of con-
ditional contraband. especially of food
stuffs. destined only for the consumps

country, which Is universally consid-
cred legitimate in international law, Is
practically rendered illusory, whereby
the interests of the bel1igerents as well
- Of the neutrals are violated in a
manner contrary to the law Of ma
tions."
Great Britain, 1t Is charged, "has de-
clared rubber, hides and SKINS as well
as various kinds of iron ore, to be con-
ditional contraband, altho the articles
are not at all, or only In an indirect
way. suitable for purposes Of warfare
and were. therefore, placed in the free

Of right to seize vessel during its

Another charge Is that British naval

Are Deaf to Call For Recruits.
London, Nov. 24.-Indignation against
the hitherto universally popular game
of football Is expressed by nearly the
entire British press today because all
most no mon enlisted as result of the
recruiting rallies at Saturdays matches.
ut is time to eradicate the football
cancer" says the Pail Mall Gazette in
an article which goes on to say that not
{. sing'e man was recruited at London's
principal football match, which was at
tended by $4,000 spectators.
A colonel who lost a son at the front
and was himscls returning to the firing
line appeared at this game. says the
paper, and pleaded with the men to en-
list.
"As a soldier l ask you." said the
colonel: II say, come, your country
needs you"
Then his words were drowned by
shouts when the teams came on the
field, continues the paper, which adds
that in other parts of the country the
same stolid refusal greeted the bands
Of speakers and recruiting officers. No
recruits were obtained at Nottingham.
where 1000 spectators attended a
match, and no one was recruited at
Brighton.
The Evening Standard says that the
total result of the countryside move
ment was one recruit.
'Ts football such a passion that moth
ing ON earth can stop it?" says the
Standard. Vigorous youth should be
powerfully persuaded that this Is not
the time for the Development of any
passion save love of country"
The Westminster Gazette says there
is only one way in which the football
association can put itself right in the
eyes of the public, and that is by dis
continuing it's program.

given out today by the official press
bureau:
while an eventual victory for the
Teutonic allies in the eastern theater
Of the war is expected as confidently as
ever, official reports from the German
and Austrian military headquarters
made 1t appear that a decision will not
be reached soon as had been expected.
The hnal result has been delayed by
the advance Of new Russian forces
from Warsaw.
'"The Austrians announce that they
have abandoned to superior forces
several passes in the Carpathians. The
Russian troops which are investing
Przemysl have been driven back by

the cannon of the forts.
"The Russians who crossed the lower

further.
OF Tremendous Extent.
"The treemndous extent Of the
battles now raging in the east is ap-
parent from the fact that contests a. e
now in progress along a front extend
ing over 800 miles between the extreme
positions on north and south.
mo important reports have been re-
ceived from Servia from the zone Of
Turkish operations.
There was sights nowfall in Ber-
lin this morning and the temperature
fell below zero centrigrade.
dispatches appearing in Italian
newspapers are to the effect that mo-
lestation Of Italian shipping by the
French Is part Of system of the
French to divert the maritime trade
from Genoa to Marseilles. Word comes
from Rome that in northern Italy there
is much feeling against England in
consequences of the fact that several
metal foundries were closed because Of
the seizure Of copper and lead. British
imports in October, according to Rome,
deceased 20,000,000 pounds, or 40 per
cent, and the exports 100000 pounds,
or 60 per cent as compared with last
year.
Switzerland has lodged protests at
London and Bordeaux against the vio
lation OF Swiss neutrality by British
aviators, and demands satisfaction.
