|. s. WILL PROTEST IAGA|NST DETENTION
 l 0F THE KROONLAND
Will Ask British Authorities for Reasons for Holding American Steamship
 at Gibraltar

{ Washington, October 3o.-The state Great Britain against detention of the American stesmship Kroonlsnd. held tzp at Gibraltar with some 1200 pas kengers and a cargo of copper bound from New York for italian and Greek ports.
 The British authorities will be asked whether the vessel is held because she karries conditional eontraband or be- oause German and Austrian reservists are among her passengers. Full informa- tion in the case is lacking. but depart ment officials believe the ship either should be released or taken forthwith into . prize court.
 n is contended the United States has American cargoes shipped in American or neutral bottoms to neutral ports, leav- ing it to Great Britain to obtain guaran- tees from the neutral countries to which the cargoes are consigned that conditional contraband will not be re-exported to a beuigercnt. Italy already has placed an embargo upon exports of all war supplies, but so far as Is known here Greece has not taken such action.
 It was pointed out tonight that the Kroonland sailed from New York 10 days before Great Britain added copper to the list of conditional contraband and made no stops en route to Gibraltar, and there- fore should not be subject to seizure on account of her cargo.
 So far no official communication has been received concerning the reported de- tention of the Italian steamers San Gio- vanni and Regina D'Italia, but as these vessels carry American copper cargoes, the state department probably will pro- test also against their detention at Gibraltar, especially as they are billed to Italian ports.
 The state department has been notified of several changes in the rules as to eontraband just made by the British privy ,ouncil. A new rule providing that a neutral vessel may be held responsible an one voyage for what she did on a lreceding voyage was much commented m as radical departure from the long established practice. tt

LOVES IRONY

BY A BBAST-FURNACE MANAGER IVerses read at the banquet of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, Birmingham, by R. W. Raymond. Clip ping preserved from Age-Herald of about 20 years ago by D. A. Odenl I frankly own 'tis not my part
 To sing as poets can; In strains of ordinary art
 praise my Mary Ann. When first by loves reducing flame
 I found myself surprised, And in her coal-black eyes became
 Completely carbon-ized. All former dreams up chimney fue;
 I dream of her instead, No other train of thought goes through
 The tunnel of my head. At merest touch of her fair hand
 I feel loves potent spell; The inwalls of my heart expand,
 As they would burst the shell. Her hair is dark as magnetic
 Un not too lean a piece); Her face is like limestone white,
 Just flushed with manganese. With Clinton red her lips are lined;
 And for the rest, I'll say She seems to be of most refined,
 Yet not refractory, clay. And when she waltAes, who is he
 Would have the heart to stop her? 'Tis such witching sight to- see \ That lovely belle and hopper. gaze upon her, ore and ore,
 Her slender bosh and throat, Her mantle lifted from the floor,
 Her red short petticoat. I wish I were the broidered rag
 That wipes away her tears; l wish l were two drops of slag
 To hang at her tuyeresl Would sine life's burden take with me
 From barrows. cars or trucks Good luck indeed! Why that would be - The very best of flux. No silly Kate should spoil our loves
 With acid atoms plus, The hottest blast of Gordon's stoves
 Should make no fuss -for-us Like fluid cinder from the spout
 Our life should flow rejoiced.
