lish Channel, lie the great seaports
of Plymouth, Southampton, Ports
mouth, Brighton and Dover; to the
east, toward the North sea, are the
ports of London, Harwich, Great Var
mouth, Hull and Newcastle, and to
, the west, toward the Atlantic and the
Irish sea, are Bristol, Cardiff, Swan
sea and Liverpool. Hundreds of
smaller ports sprinkled in between
these great harbors of world fame.
"Of these English ports Liverpool
is said to have the best developed
harbOr in the world more coal is
shipped from Cardiff than from any
other seaport. Grimsby is the fishing
capital of the world, and London is
more intimately connected with the
ports on the sea than any other har-
bor England has expended with
freehanded foresight in the improve
ment of her seaports, and SO the war
finds with adequate harbor facilities
upon every hand, with dry docks and
shipyards in every more impartant
harbor, with equipment to carry on a
great foreign trade from more than
100 different points.
Scotland Hard to Blockade.
Scotland is a still more bathing
problem to an intending blockade.
Probably it's most striking feature is
the irregularity of its coastline, and
its coast upon the east is shielded
by an intricate mass of bold, rocky
islands. Though much smaller in
area than England, Scotland has a
coastline of 1900 miles, or one mile
of coast to every 10 square miles of
area. Leith, Dundee and Aberdeen
are important ports upon the North
sea in the east; Inverness sends it's
shipping to the north, and Glasgow,
with it's famous shipbuilding works
and vast foreign trade, lies toward
the North Channel an the open At
lantic. Few places in Scotland lie
more than 40 miles from the sea,
and smaller ports dot the entire coast
line
'Treland's greatest ports, Belfast
and Dublin, are situated upon her
coast on the Irish Sea. The restless
breaking of a rough Atlantic over the
rocky needles of her western coast
has retarded the development of COM
merclal harbors there. Limerick,
upon the River Shannon, gives Ire
land an important Atlantic harbor,
while Queenstown is an outlet in the
south and Londonderry in the north.
with its more than $500 miles of
coast line and it's well developed har-
bors all along the way the United
Kingdom presents problem of eA=
treme difficulty to any power intend
ing to maintain blockade against it. :"

JUDGE RUSSELL
is EXONERATED
The House Adopts the Committees
Favorable Report Unanimously.
Charges Were Big Farce.

ATLANTA.-The report of the spe-
cial committee appointed to investi-
gate the charges against Judge B. R.
Russell OF Ike state court of appeals
was read to the house of representa-
tives today.
The committee completely exoner-
ated Judge Russell from all of the
charges made against him by w. T..
Meyer, an Atlanta lawyer, who was
formerly clerk in the court. The
committee stated it found the charges
groundless and untrue and recon-
mended that they be expunged from
the records of the legislature. At the
conclusion of the reading of the re-
port the house adopted it by unan-
imous vote without debate. This
ends the matter, and there is no fur
ther action that will be taken with
regard to it.

to the blockade undertaken by the

Kingdom" begins a bulletin just is

difficulties in the way of maintaining
an effective blockade of the many
harbored, sea-encircled nation. The
bulletin continues:
Great Britain is land of harbors
and highly developed ports. Its for
eign commerce clears from more
than 120 seaports, that are situated
upon every sea washing the islands.
To shut off English commerce with
other lands would require an almost
impossible sea-strength. Moreover,
besides its wealth of widely scattered
harbors, the United Kingdom has a
particularly irregular coastline, which
would serve to greatly multiply the
labors of a blockade.

Defense of Blockade.

Washington, d. C.-Defense of the
right of belligerents to blockade a
neutral port through which an enemy
is receiving supplies or attempting to
market his own products is the chief
argument that will be made in the
supplemental note Great Britain is
preparing in reply to the American
protest against enforcement OF the
orders in council The original note,
received Monday, has been withheld
from publication at the request Of the
British foreign office, pending the ar
rival of the supplemental communi-
cation.
All other issues than that of the
blockade of neutral ports, it is learn
ed, will be regarded by the British
government as subsidiary and proper
for later discussion. On recognition
by neutral governments of the prin-
ciple from the British viewpoint de-
ponds the ability of belligerent,
which otherwise has established con-
troll of the sea, to profit by the enor-
nous expenditure and sacrifice which
made possible the control. The mat
ter is all important, in the British
view.
Two Now Developments.
Two new developments not discuss
ed in the original note will be taken
up in the supplemental cOmmunica-
ton. The first is the American ca
veat of July II, conveying the Motif
cation that the United States would
not recognize the orders in council
as a substitute for provisions of in
ternational law.
The second arose in connection
with the enforced unloading at Lon
don of the cargo of the steamer
Neches June "a. The ship was en-
route from Rotterdam to New York
with cargo of non-contraband, most
ly of German and Belgian origin. The
British asserted the right under it's
blockade of Germany and that part
of Belgium at present under German
control to prevent any goods from
being exported, the sale of which
might aid the enemy financially.
Because the principal British argu-
ment is directed to that phase of the
right of blockade which affects goods
sought to be introduced into an enc
my country it is believed the British
foreign office felt it necessary to sup
plement the original note by an ar
gument extending the claim to cover
the case of goods exported from the
enemy country through a neutral
port.
