illegality and disregard of the prin-

Will Expect Due Reparation.

The note reviews at length the legal
phases of a blockade of belligerent
territory and virtual blockade of neu-
trail coasts. In conclusion the United
States states its expectation that Eng
land, after having considered" the
possibilities of serious interruption
of American trade" under the order
in council will take steps to avoid
them, and in the event that they
should unhappily occur, will be pre-
pared to make full reparation fol

international law, constitutes a viola

ures toward her enemies as merely
reason for certain extraordinary aC
tivities'' by her naval forces, land no

which the world will award him
great credit, 1t will bring him high
distinction, but 1t is a victory as well
of truth and the many sacred prin.
ciples of justice and humanity" for
which in the various notes dispatched
to Berlin he has contended with so
much tirmness and ability. He STOOD
upon truth when he told Germany
that the principles of international

SENSATIONS PROMISED.

n SENSATIONAL developments are likely to take place
in the case OF the murder of DR.. C. Franklin Mohr,
" a prominent physician Of Providence, R. /, who
was murdered recently while he was making an auto
trip with a woman companion. Yesterday three negroes
confessed that they had been the actual murderers in the
case; but that the wife of the physician had melted the
murder and had promised to pay the accomplices $1,000
for their work in getting her husband out of the way.
DR.. Mohrs wife was particularly anxious 10 have her
husband murdered-she instructed the negroes to get
her husband first and to xii. his woman companion II
possible. Mrs. Mohr was arrested on the charge Of. having
melted the murder, and 1t is thought that disclosures of a
sensational nature will be made when the trial comes up
in court.
It is said that there has been trouble in the Mohr
family for some time and that Mrs. Mohr was suspicious
of her husband on account Of his actions towards the
woman in the case.

HEALTH on THE PUBLIC.

"HERE Is no line Of endeavor that has such a gen.
leral appeal as that which has to do with the public
= health. In comparatively recent years great ad-
vance has been made in all branches of the service, and
Federal, state and municipal authorities work in. har-
mony and with one object in view, that of improving con-
dltions so that living is better and more healthful. The
American Public Health Association. which will hold Its
conference In Rochester next week, has a program out.
lined that embraces a wide variety Of most pertinent
subjects. There is not a branch Of the public health SER
vict that has to do with the promotion OF better living
conditions that is not sure to be treated with scientific
thoroughness. The men who will be in attendance rep.
resent the leaders in this work.
Since the establishment of the first board Of health
in Louisiana in 1856, followed by another in Massachu.
sets in 1863, wonderful progress has been made in tnls
important work. When the American Public Health
Association was founded in 1872 and the National Board
OF Health in 1879 conditions were not %propitious for con-
certed action. In fact it has taken years of effort to
bring the states together SO that the efforts of one will
be supported by those Of another. The contention that
the public health is so much of an interstate question
that the Federal Government should take 1t over and ex
erclse final jurisdiction has many advocates, but as long
as the present effective state organizations are kept UP
and the authorities work in such perfect harmony little
reason appears for taking away from the states another
of their rights.-Pittsburgh Sun.

WHAT Has BEEN WON.

There seems now no reason to
doubt that the crisis in our relations
with Germany has passed. The note
of Count Won Bernstorff to Mr.. Ian.
sing patiently furnishes satisfactory
evidence Of the change In the German
submarine policy. So far as it is
possible to judge, and there a be
no desire to minimize the value Of the
ambassadors words. Germany now
accepts the principle which has been
the point OF departure of American
diplomacy that submarines shall ex.
ercise the right Of visit and search
before attacking passenger ships. In
a word. Germany has consented to
live within the law, which Is all that
the United States has ever asked

especially In the United States. This country, according
to the figures OF trade statistical experts, has found
trade everywhere in the world. June, 1915, figures show
80 per cent increase in our exports to countries outside
o. Europe and our imports 26 per cent.
In June. 1914, the goods we sent to South America
we're valued; at ~s7,57S.4s7; the goods we sent to South

In the West Indies and other countries of North anu

OF course, we made a terrific gain in exports to Eu-

But II should be remembered that cannon, powder and

now.
All IN al 1.-The United States is going after the worlds

avery month since has shown a consistent increase in
