BRITAIN BARS THE WAY

Has Been Informed Shipments Are
Half of German

Vigorous but informal representa-
tions by the United States to Great
Britain seeking unmolested passage of
ships laden with Belgian exports from
neutral ports to the United States have
been in vain
These Belgian goods form large
part Of the vast quantity of. merchan-
disc consigned to the United States
which has been tied up at Rotterdam
and other neutral ports.
Consul General Skinner at London
has cabled to the State Department
that England is not disposed to release
these goods The English government
contends that it cannot recognize goods
from Belgium otherwise than those
from German territory. since 1T Is un-
der the dominance of Germany and is
practically German territory.
While efforts to secure the release of
all the Rotterdam shipments have been
unsuccessful. 1t had been hoped that
goods shown to be of bona fide Belgian
manufacture might be exempted from
the British order in council Consul
Skinners advices. however, indicated
that Great Britain is not prepared to
make such concession.
Fears Market for German Wares.
1t was pointed out that it would be
an added hardship to Belgium to hold
up these shipments, when the popula-
ton has already suffered such destitu-
tion. These protestations were made
through the British embassy here. and
the cabled message from Consul Cen
eral Skinner last evening was the
answer
The progress Of the negotiations has
made it clear that Great Britain fears
the exemption Of Belgian products would
open a way to market for German wares
For that reason, it is said, the blockade

be made only if one-half of the order

PRISONERS GET DOPE"
Chew Laundered Linen Containing
Solution of Drug.

NEW YORK, July a1.-For several
weeks a number of inmates of the
Tombs prison have been observed in
dustrously chewing up their linen col
lars and munching their shirts. One
prisoner. 1t was said, has eaten up vir-
tually all the collars he owned.
In reply to questions the prisoners
told the keepers that they had been
tobacco or gum chewers for years, and
that not having either they found par
ticular comfort in chewing their linen.
But the keepers We're skeptical.
Today when fresh laun7lry arrived il
was subjected to test. A chemist
found that the starch used in the linen
sent to the prisoners by relatives con-
tained a solution of a drug taken by
habftual drug users.
