Washington, Dec. 29.-President
Wilson today appealed to American
shippers of n-contraband goods,
such as cotton, not to allow their car
goes to be mixed with contraband ar
ticles. The United States government,
he announced, could deal confidently
with the difficulties which had arisen
in the treatment of American COM
merce by Great Britain only if sup
ported by absolutely honest manifests.
This statement followed a discussion
by the President with his cabinet to-
day of the general shipping situation,
and of the note dispatched yesterday
to Great Britain protesting at length
against the British policy of prolong-
ed detentions of cargoes and other in
reference with American trade.
Formal Inquiries
Publication of a synopsis of the
note aroused much interest. Many dip
lomats of European and South Amer
lean countries made formal inquiry
at the state department concerning
the note and were promised memo
randum on the subject.
There was a confident feeling in
diplomatic quarters that steps would
be taken by other leading nations of
this hemisphere, as well as by some
European neutralS, to point out 70
Great Britain their acquescence In
the American point of view.
From the way the President discussed
the situation with callers it was evident
that the Washington government had
spolken firmly of it's desire for an i'm
movement In the conditions of neutral
commerce and was prepared to insist fur
Their on it's rights. The President de-
cIared that the theory eXpounded by the
United States in its note was from the
American point of view hardly debatable
as England had adhered in previous
wars to the contentious now advanced
by the Washington government.
During the cabinet meeting 1t was sug-
gested that in order to support the
American government in its effort to pro-
tect cargoes of non-contraband goods
shippers and shipping companies should
be warned against concealment of doubt
full articles on the same ships. The
White House then issued it's suggestion
to American shippers to be careful about
the manifests describing their cargoes.
Two Concealment Gases
State department officials said later
that there were two cases in which con-
cealment had occurred and that Great
Britain had frequently used them as a
basis for general search. Solicitor john
son declared 1t was absurd that any
general conspiracy to conceal contraband
in cotton shipments could exist, because
of the mechanical difficulties involved in
such an undertaking. but he pointed out

Philadelphia, Dec, 2s.-American wo-
men should help to provide steady en-
ployment for thousands of workers by
being less capricious in demanding ever
changing styles. Employers should be
,naa&s responsible for their employees,
both in slack and busy seasons, by legis-
lation compelling them to pay living
wage throughout the year. The labor
market should be organized and directed
by a national employment bureau with
branches in every important city, and
labor unions should discontinue the prac-
tice of drawing sharp lines between the
trades.
These are some of the suggestions Of

described as a drama OF daring in
which the heroine is forced to begin
warfare upon the law to protect her
self from its Vaccinations. Mary
Turner, the central character, is
falsely accused of theft of goods from
the establishment in which she is
employed, and sentenced to three
years Imprisonment. No amount of
protest, no amount of logical, OBJ
viously truthful defense saves her.
She serves her time. She tries to
support herself honestly afterward,
but the police harass and hound"
her. When they have forced her
out of several places by recalling
her Imprisonment, the girl, in des-
peration, defies them, and proclaims
