both denied and the temporary in
functions allowed to remain on the
buildings. The defendants then
stipulated with the states attorney
that final judgments might be en-

formality of going to trial. There
is no doubt but that the closing of
these two places met with the ap-
proval of all the respectable and
law-abiding citizens of this COM

In MemOriau.

In loving memory OF our dear son and
brother, Mitchell Casson W ho died February
Is, 1914.
February Is here once more
With biting frost and deaths cold chill;
In memories hard and bitter night
No sound OF Joy our souls can feel.
For-mu,e and more each day we miss him
Friends may think the wound is healed
But they little know the sorrow
That winthin our hearts concealed.
How long. how long this year has been,
And. yet, how short the stay between.
The summers glow. the drifting SNOW
Will PASS away In years unseen.
We often sit and wonder still,
When We are all alone
For memory Is the only friend,
That grief can call Its own.
Sad was the morning that he leftus.
We will never forget that day
The lonely ride. the empty home,
Our only boy has gone to stay.

They have spent months in building up

Besides they have got settled in the as

England Seeks to
Keep Cotton Away
From the Germans

(CorreSpondence OF the Associated Press)
LONDON, Aug. 1L-'There is no such
thing as a complete solution OF the cot
ton problem" declares the Times in
long article discussing the purchase of
the American crop by Great Britain, and
then the 'rationlng' Of necessary sup
plies to neutraIs under strict government
supervision.
Germany has as its near neighbors."
explains the Times, ''the five neutral
states, Holland. Denmark. Norway
Sweden and Switzerland These states
have rights which we cannot ignore.
But we may Justly complain when
we find them importing from seventeen
to eighteen times as much cotton as tney
need for their domestic consumption and
exporting the surplus, or a large part of
it, to the enemy, who cannot obtain It
elsewhere, who cannot produce Il him
self, and to whom a constant supply Of
this indispensable raw material is vital
to his military strength.
what the British government has
done is to seek a way out by a series
OF friendly and private agreements. All
cotton entering Holland, for instance, Is
liable to seizure unless It is consigned
to the Netherlands oversee Trust, which
is under heavy bonds to prevent its Ne
export to Germany In Sweden an ar
rangement has more recently been made
with an association of cotton spinners
with the object of limiting the importa-
ton of cotton into that country to the
needs of its domestic man ~ ctures. This
seems TO me the only principle that is
/ at once sound and effective on which
we can proceed. The arrangement with
the Dutch merchants proved anything
but watertight largely because it does
not expressly limit the amount of cot
ton that may be imported.
'If We werc 70 establis In each of the
northern kingdoms single receiving
agency to which alone cotton might be
consigned. and IL we were definitely tc
fix the number OF bales that might be
imported, using as an index the average

three years before the war, we should

ing this particular branch OF the prob

Patent Rights by
Germans Suspended
By Japanese Court

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
TOXIC, Aug. H.--The supreme court Of
Japan has ruled that, as a result of the
war between Japan and Germany the in
ternationaD convention for the protection
of Industrial property is suspended in its
operation. The practical effect OF the
decision is that trademark rights, patent
rights and other industrial design rights
he'd by German subjects or German COM
panies previous to the opening of the
war are TO be considered as extlnguished
or suspended In their effect for the time
being.
The general question at issue was
brought before the courts by Japanese
demand for judgment declaring invalid
the registration of a trademark pending
between a Japanese company and the 10
cal managers and representatives of an
Industrial company at Hanover, Germany.
The patent office of Japan decided in
favor of the Germans, but the high court
has quashed that ruling.
The court pointed out that the conven-
ton for the protection OF industrial prop
erty which was made in 1918 cannot be
said to become, absolutely and permar
nently imperative because of the out
break of hostilities between Japan and
Germany. 1t noted that several other
powers are parties to this convention.
However. as between Japan and Germany
It was proper to think the convention is
suspended in it's operation from the time
when war broke out between them until
such time As peace shall have beer
restored.
The court found no, doubt whatsoever
that the treaty was concluded only on the
premise OF the existence of relations OF
peaceful intercourse between the con
tracing parties.
The court says: "of course, even tbs
people Of hostile power should not b.
PROFESSIONALLY treated. On the contrary
as already declared by the Japanese gov
eminent they should be treated and pro
tected according TO the dictates OF justice
and humanity. At the same time ther'
"a no reason whatever why they should
be more favorably treated and more con
siderately treated than a friendly nation
not party to the convention"
The judgment OF the supreme court 4
interpreted as permitting the public 4
make a free use of trademarks ant
patent rights regardless OF any rights he'll
by German subjects or German companie
previous to the war.
