reply to the American note of warn
Ing against any attacks on American
vessels or lives in the new sea zones
OF war served to increase, rather than
to diminish the concern of officials of
the United States government over
possible complications. The friendly
tone Of the communication, however,
made favorable impression and gave
some hope that an understanding for
the protection of neutrals yet might be
obtained.
Officials Are Apprehensive.
Oh1cials were apprehensive over the
formal statement in the note that Ger
many disclaimed all responsibility for
what might happen to neutral vessels
!venturing in the danger areas. The
additional warning, too, that mines
would be laid by Germany in the
water surrounding Great Britain and
Ireland, was regarded by them not
only as menacing to ships carrying
legitimate cargoes, but as likely to add
further to the Interruptions which
American commerce has suffered since
the outbreak Of the war.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan read the press copy of the Ger
man note, the official text being de-
layed in transmission. It is expected
shortly. While no comment was
made at either the White House or
the State Department the feeling Of
grave concern was manifest.

quarters that the United State is look

causes of the present complication in
the forthcoming answer from England
to the American note concerning the
misuse of flags.
1t was pointed out that If categorical
assurances were given by Great Brit
ain and her allies that none of their
vessels would be permitted to fly the
American or other neutral flags, the
safety Of American vessels in the war
zones would be guaranteed and Ger
man submarines would be obliged to
visit and search neutral vessels for
contraband before destroying them as
prizes. In this case, it was added, the
dangers for neutral vessels laden with
noncontraband cargoes would be con.
fined only to mines, the indiscriminate
laying of which on the high seas would
be subject Of protest by the United
States unless pilots or safe channels
were given.

LENGTHY REPLY SENT
TO THE AMERICAN NOTE
Sir Edward Grey, British Foreign Sec.
rotary, After Reviewing Germans
Methods Of Warfare, Denoun-
ces Them az Violations of
International Usages.

London, Feb. 22.-The British gov
ernment announced that it had decid-
ed that the cargo Of the American
steamer Wilhelmina should be held for
the decision of the prize court. The
announcement was made by Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British foreign secre-
tary.
1t seems to make clear the purpose
Of Great Britain to declare all food
stuffs for Germany contraband as
well as to foreshadow other reprisals.
In his note Sir Edward Grey. after re-
viewing the German methods of war
fare and denouncing them as absolute
violations of all International usages,
says:
Do Not Expect Challenge.
If, therefore, his majesty's govern
ment should hereafter feel constrained
to declare foodstuffs absolute contra
band. or to take other measures for
Interfering with German trade by way
Of reprisals, they confidently expect
that such action will not be challenged
on the part of the neutral states by
appeals to law and usages of war
whose validity rests upon their form
ing an integral part of that system of
international doctrine which, as a
whole. their enemy frankly boasts the
intention to disregard, so long as such
neutral states cannot compel the Ger
man government to abandon methods
Of warfare which have not, in recent
history, been regarded as having the
sanction of either law or humanity"
Great Britain's reply to the Ameri.
can note on the Wilhelmina case,
which was handed to Walter Hines
Page, American ambassador, follows:
"The communication made by the
United States ambassador in his note
to Sir Edward Grey. of the 10th inst,
has been carefully considered and the
following observations are offered in
reply:
Have German Decree.
Eat the time when His Majesty's
government gave directions for the
seizure Of the cargo of the steamship
Wilhelmina as contraband, they had
before them the text of decree made
by the German federal council on the
25th of January, under Article as, Of
which all grain and flour imported into
Germany after the 31st of January was
declared deliverable only to certain
organizations under direct govern
ment control. or to municipal author
tiles. The vessel was bound for Ham,
burg, one Of the free cities Of the Ger
man empire, the government of which
Is vested in the municipality. This
was one of the reasons actuating His
Majesty's government in deciding to
bring the cargo of the Wilhelmina be-
fore a nrizo court

Germany trusts that the neutrals
who SO far have submitted to the dis
advantageous consequences Of Great
Britain's hunger war in silence, or
merely registered protest, will dis.
play for Germany no smaller measure
Of tolerance, even II German measures,
like those Of Great Britain, present
new terrors Of naval warfare.
The German government is resolved
to suppress the Importation Of war
materials to Great Britain and her
allies. and she takes It for granted
that neutral governments, which 10
far have taken no steps against traf-
licking In arms with Germany's enc.
mics. Will not oppose forcible oppres.
sion by Germany Of this trade.
II 1t is formal right Of neutrals to
take no steps to protect their legiti.
mate trade with Germany, and even to
allow themselves to be Influenced in
the direction Of the conscious and
wilful destruction Of their trade, on
the other hand they have the perfect
right, which they unfortunately do not
exercise, to cease contraband trade.
especially In arms, with Germany,s
enemies.

her overseas supply by the silent or
protesting federation Of neutrals.

traband, but with goods which are re.

GRASPIHG AT THE SHADOW

No man-especially if he is mar ried-would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman long for the ballot?
 When all is said and done. is not the selection of the butcher more im- portant Go the home than the election of a mayor is not the employment of the dairyman a far more important event in the life Of the children than the appointment of postmaster: IS not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the im- portant things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow?
 Be it said to the credit of woman hood that it is not. as a rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast the ballot: it is not the mother who teaches her children to say Now ] lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; it is not the daughter who hopes 70 reign as queen over a happy home that longs for the uniform of the suffragette. It Is, as a rule, the woman who desplses her home, neglects her children and scorns motherhood that leads paradss and smashes windows.

CHILL COPPER THE
 BIGGEST MINE OF
 ITS KIND IN WORL[
By Leaching and EleCtroYtical Process Costs of Production Are Cut to Minimum; Huge Ore
 Deposits Owned By Company.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O-Chue Cop. per is the biggest copper mine in the world today, having a larger tonnage of ore proved than any other property in existence It is unique from many 5tandpoints. In addition to it's huge ore reserves, it will, when working to normal capacity. attain cheaper working cost per pound of copper than any other copper mine except Kenne- colt in Alaska Despite its 400. .OOO.- 900 tons of proved ore, the limits of It's ore body have not yet been proved.
 The work so far done demonstrates solid mass of ore two miles in length, three-hfths of a mile in width and one-third of a mile in depth The average assay value of the ore is bet. ter than two percent copper. It oc- CUTS in the ozidized form instead of the sulphide. which is the usual form in which copper ores are mined. Chile Copper ore instead of requiring an expensive concentration plant follow ed by smelling, is enabled by the de- velopment Of a suitable metallurgical process to treat it's ore and turn out olectrolytic copper in practically one operation.
 The treatment consists of teaching he ore in huge vats holding 10000 ons, where the copper values are dis solved out of the rock by means of 5ulphuric acid. The solution is then afterwards subjected to an electric current and the copper recovered by electro-plating This is the first sue cessiul application of a process of this kind and the company is now treating 5000 tons of ore a day. but before the end of the year the entire 10000 tons which the present plant is capable of handling, will be regular iy treated
 On 10,000-ton per day output Chile Copper will be producing 100000, 900 pounds of copper a year The cost of production is estimated at 6c per lb.. leaving 12c per pound profit with to- tal og S144OOOOO per annum. This is equivalent to earnings at the rate of more than S3.5O per share on the en- tire issued capitalization of the com pany.
 It is intended ultimately 10 increase the capacity of Chile Copper Compa- ny's plant to 3O.OOO tons per diem, or treble the capacity of the present plant. On the same basis as just quot ed earnings would amount to S1O5O per share per annum. It is figured that within IS months after a decision has been reached, that the full 3OOOO ton plant can be working.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst o a controversy as Co how best to pro mote universal peace. That question We will leave for diplomats Co dis cuss, but peace within nations is no less important than peace between nations and it is heavily laden with prosperity for every citizen within our commonwealth.
 Many leading politicians and ofttimes political platforms have declared war upon business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood in high places and hurled gas bombs at industry; thrust bayonets into bus mess enterprises and bombarded az. 1culture with indifference Party leaders have many times broken dip lomatic relations with industry: sent political ayistors spying through the affairs of business. and political sub marines have sent torpedoes crushing into tho destiny of commerce. Dur ing the past quarter of a century we have fought many duel with prog. ress, permitted many politicians to carry on a guerrilla warfare against civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honest enterprise.
 No man should be permitted to cry out for universal peace until his rec. ord has been searched for explosives. for no vessel armed or laden with munitions of war should be given a clearance to sail for the port Of Uni yersal Peace. Let u5 by all means have peace, but peace. like charity, should begin at home.

DANIELS DEFENDS
NEW 14-INCH GUN
SECRETARY MAINTAINS 1T is
SUPERIOR TO RIFLES OF
QUEEN ELIZABETH.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Critics
who claim the American navy's IA
inch rifles are inferior to the 15-inch
British naval gun are answered in a
statement issued by Secretary Dan
iels, declaring that the bureau of ord
nance has developed a 14-inch gun
that will shoot farther, shoot
straighter and hit harder than any
gun now in use or known to be de-
siged by foreign country"
While conceding that the British
battleship Queen Elizabeth's guns
shrow a larger shell, Mr.. Daniels
points out that she carries only eight
15-inch rifles, compared with twelve
14-inch weapons on the battleship
Pennsylvania.
"The question of the proper caliber
for the main battery guns of our bat
tleships," says the secretary's state
ment, lis one that has received the
most careful consideration by the
bureau of ordnance and the general
board"

PA2I IN CASE
RIGGS NATIONAL BANK SUIT NOT
ADMINISTRATION AFFAIR
SAYS PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-Presi
dent Wilson for the first time today
discussed the case of the Riggs Ma.
tional Bank against treasury officials
The President made it quite plain
that he does not consider the contro-
versy an administration affair, but
solely one of the administration of Of
ace of the comptroller of the curren,
e.
The President called attention to
what he referred as the clear-cut and
specific powers and duties of the
comptroller, and indicated that in Sc
far as the controversy involved the
exercise of those proper duties, the
administration would stand solidly
behind the treasury officials and give
them its support. An inference drawn
by some who heard the President was
that if the court should decide those
powers have been exceeded, the adj
ministration cannot be expected to
assume any responsibility, but that
the responsibility must be accepted
by the comptroller and those who
have acted under his orders.
The President plainly intimated
that if the laws are onerous, congress
and not the administrative officials
are responsible.
