FAIL TO FOLLOW RULE.
American Exporters Disregard Civ
ing Destination of Copper Cargoes.

Failure of American copper shippers
to make clear the ultimate destination
of shipments sent to neutral countries
still is impeding the restoration of that
traffic in the view of British officials
here.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice. the ambassador.
has been discussing the subject with
Counselor Lansing of the State Depart
ment. saying that a study of several
ships manifests disclosed that the con-
dition laid down by Great Britain was
not being followed generally and that
many shipments were being made Ito
order" instead Of to specific con-
signee in the neutral country.
The British agreement to copper
was that shipments to specific con-
signees in neutral countries would not
be detained as contraband liable to re-
exportation to Germany or Austria
Guarantees have been obtained from
several neutral countries by Great
Britain that copper received at their
ports will be used for domestic con-
sumption only. and 1t is insisted that
the ultimate destination of shipments
must be disclosed in manifests to pro-
tect copper cargoes from seizure.

Annual Cyclone Dinner Off-Refex
Of Spanking, Given Last Year, to
Free Thinking Out Loud.

The famous fleet composed of the
good ships Piff1e, Friendship and Fell

Order of the Carabao into hot water
at the annual dinner of the order last
year, has gone into dry dock-perhaps
for good. The annual dinner for this
year has been called Off.
b This famous event, to which army
Eand navy officers in this city and
throughout the United States in gen.
eral were looking forward with inter

A dinner committee had been hard at
work But now comes the word that
the function is not to be.
Experience Curbs Enthusiasm.
The trouble dates back to a year ago.
when for the first time Secretary
Daniels of the Navy heard a certain
song with lively refrain, which made
direct and somewhat profane refer
,ence to the Filipino This song is
said to have reflected the sentiments of
many enlisted men-and officers TOO;
it would appear-who had the hard
work of meeting the Filipino face to
face in that period when benevolent
assimilation was carried on with
cartridge always in the rifle Ihls song
had something to say about:
Beneath the starry flag, civilize them
with a krag.'
1t had been sung in the army ever
since the first soldier set foot on Phil
ipplue soil. 1t has become so common
that no one thought of it twice. Ana
when Secretary Daniels took exception
to il. and when the President later
called for an explanation. there was
a small earthquake which rippled the
surface OF the service wherever there
is garrison or a ship
Other Suppressed Gayety.
The good-natured song was not the
only feature of the dinner. The famous
mock ships. "Piffie" and her sisters
Fellowship and Friendship" were
sternly looked upon as burlesaues on
dove of peace. plans. Every
one connected with the dinner was
scolded.
Army officers who were asked last
night about the failure of the committee
to arrange for a dinner this year would
say no more than The committee sim
ply could not arrange a satisfactory pro-

COMMUTERS PROTEST
INCREASED CHARGES
Proposed Advance in Steam Railway
Fares to Meet Organized
Opposition.

Commuters along the lines OF the
Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania
railroads are planning to organize move
ments during the present week to protest
against proposed increa ses of rates which
| become effective over the former line
| December 20 and on the latter Decem
Der 10. Commuters in general declare
that the proposed increases are prac-
tically prohibitory. and they paint vivid
pictures of vacant homes and untitled
farms along the now prosperous COM
! muters lines.
| The principal complaint of the COM
muters seems to be that the railroads
nave made too big jump In their
increases. In many instances, it is
pointed out, the roads have proposed
increases III the commu ia ton rates OF
40 per cent, and when they asked for
permission to increase their freight
rates they wanted only per cent
Meetings to Be Held.
A dispatch to The Star from Boyds,
Md. says:
Throughout this week a number of
meetings will be held in this county by
commuters and others affected by the
recent advance in rates as proposed by
| the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. in or
der TO place before the puDIC utilities
commissi of Maryland and the inter-
state commerce commission vigorous
protest against the proposed increases,
which amount to almost 40 per cent in
all classes of tickets to and from
Washington and Baltimore and the an
nuliing entirely of short term tickets
such as those for two-day and ten
day round trips.
Sample Increase Noted.
The two-day round trip ticket to
Washington now is s1.15. After
December i the rate is to be S1.6O.
Many of the Communication rates have
been increased 80 per cent. Such in
crease it is said. will force many
who have built homes along this divi-
sion of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
way to move to Washington. There
does not seem TO be a protest against
IA raise of as much as 10 per cent. but
40 per cent is considered too much.
An attorney is to represent the COM
nuters and passengers on this division
and will cooperate with those working
to the same end from Laurel to Balti-
more and from Laurel to Washington"
