RED CROSS SUNDAY
Let Every Church Devote Its October
4 Collection to That Cause.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: At my request the rector Of ST.
PauPS Church in this village has con-
scented to devote to the immediate use
of the Red Cross the collection to be
taken up on Sunday, October 4, the day
set apart by the President for prayers
for peace. Will you not use your pow
erful influence to induce all the church
es in the United States OF every creed
and denomination to do the same?
The needs of the Red Cross are very
sore and pressing. Individual subscrip-
tiOns of course in these times come IN
slowly, but the united efforts Of the
whole people on the same day will
easily bring in what is needed.

Announcement!

For some time we have had In mind the idea
Of Semi W eekly JOURNAL
The undertaking is somewhat of venture
but the opportunity for larger and more potent
field of usefulness in seml-weekly is so invlt-
ing that we feel constrained to undertake the
venture The very purpose Of local newspaper
is often defeated in weekly because the day of
publication is so far away. There are often
times when local matters need to be published
quickly if the matters are to be of value.
May we now indulge the hope that our sub
scribers and friends will accord us their cooper
alton. 1t Will Of course entail a larger expense
on our part and in order to meet this we urge
subscribers to be prompt in the payment of sub
scription The price of the JOURNAL will remain
the same as heretofore, namely $1.00 per year
IN advance and we ask that our subscribers favor
us with their subscription paid in advance.
The JOURNAL will be published therefore be-
ginning with the next issue on Tuesdays and
Fridays.
Expressing hope that our paper will serve
more useful purpose in this Parish,
We are very truly,

Step To Greater Efficiency.
WHAT is coNTRABAND?
Question Arises In View OF Probability
That America Will Have To
Supply Fighters.

Washington, D. ca general war
in Europe will undoubtedly bring many
benefits to the United States. During
the struggle, some nation, not a bel
ligerent, must supply those countries
engaged in war with foodstuffs and
clothing. The United States is the
only country large enough to supply
the demands that will be made.
But in this connection the question
of contraband must be considered.
How far can the United States, a
neutral power, go in supplying pro-
visions and clothing to the belligerent
nations? Three hundred years ago
Grotius, in discussing contraband,
wrote: They are of the party of
the enemy who supply him what is
necessary in war" In The Hague con-
ference of 1907 this principle was laid
down. 1t is also the principle followed
by the United States Supreme Court.
In considering what is contraband
and what is not, three classes of mer-
chandise arise. The first class con-
sists of those articles of supplies use
full in war only. These constitute
actual contraband The second class
is of those of no use in war. The
third class consists of those articles
both useful in war and in peace.
AS long as the United States re-
mains neutral nation she can ship
whatever she pleases to the belligerent
nations, but ships flying the American
flag will be subject to search and
seizure in some cases.

WON'T OFFER TO MEDIATE.
President Wilson Not Inclined To Act
AS Peacemaker Without Being
Asked.

Washington. D. C.-From an au-
thoritative source ii was learned that
President Wilson was strongly dis
inclined to take any steps toward
mediation in Europe and in line with
the traditional policy of the United
States would pursue a course of abso-
lutte non-interference.
AS American diplomats abroad have
been active on their own initiative
sounding out the various governments
about peace measures, cautionary tele-
grams were sent all legations and en-
bassies requesting that no steps of i'm
portance in this direction be taken
without previous consultation with the
Washington Government.
For the present the attitude of the
United States will be that of a neutral
observer, and unless it appears that
the contending powers would accept
tender of good Offices and mediation
no formal effort will be made by the
United States toward a pacific settle
ment.

BRlTAlN'S NEUTRALITY
STILL LEFT IN DOUBT

London. Great Britain has
modified her forces and awaits
events. Today she is not a belliger-
ent power, nor is she a neutral one.
The Government has given France
assurance that the British feet will
not permit the German feet to attack
the French coast. 1t has not yet
pledged itself to contribute an army
to the continental war.
The British Government regards
with the deepest distrust Germany's
violation of Belgium's neutrality, but
makes no declaration as to whether it
considers that measure provocation for
war
This pronouncement of Govern
ment policy-the result of two days
almost continuous deliberation-was
made to the House of Commons by Sir
Edward Grey, Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs. Therefore the trying
hour of suspense for the British peo-
pie is prolonged indefinitely.
Meanwhile the German Embassy in
London is eXerting every effort of dip
lomacy to induce Great Britain to hold
aloof from the conflict and to bring
public opinion to Germany's side The
counselor of the Germany Embassy
issued a strong appeal for the neutral
ity of Great Britain, asserting that
Germany would agree to keep her fleet
from attacking the northern and west
ern coasts of France if England would
pledge neutrality and argued that Eng
land would gain more in the end by
standing outside the European war and
using her influence as mediator when
the moment was ripe.
