Where the People
 May Have Hearing
A STATEN ENT
To the Arizona Republican,

To the Arizona Republican,, Gentlemen: We believe in justice
 to the title companies of this city, a statement should be made as to the article appearing in this morn ngs paper entitled Henry Leaves ! Title Company in Big Muddle." This heading gives the impression to the | public that one of the title companies of this city is involved, which is en- tirelv incorrect, as the only company ] in the muddie is Mir. Henry's com pany which did not in any way Go | a title business.
 | It must be confe essed, however, that MT. Henry seems 10 have had some
 thing to do with the titles AFTER | the abstracts had feen made and de- l livered to him, much to the regret of 1 certain people who made him loans, | as well as various examining attor- i neys.
 It is an interesting fact that all | this crookedness has been accom- plished through the manipulation ard | changing of abstracts of title after 1 they had been received from the title l companies and in no case has this ! trouble or loss occurred where a | Title Guarantee Policy was issued. 1 The reason for tnlS IS pldln, as there | are no pages to tear out in a Title l Guarantee Policy, and the state pro | tects the party who is guaranteed by 1 requiring the title company issuing 1 the policy to deposit fifty thousand 1 dollars with the state treasurer as a
 i protection against loss.
 l It will also be q matter of con- | siderable interest, when determined,
 as to how far an attorney is respon- 1 sible under his certificate of exam 1 ination of an abstract of title, and | whether or not ne mas used due dili- I gence in examining an abstract,
 ] should the abstract when it comes to him, not have the number of pages | in it that the abst-acter has certified | that it contains.
 | Believing you will kindly publish | this statement, l remain,
 Very respectfully, l.. W. COGGINS, | Manager Phoenix Title and Trust Go. | Phoenix, Aug. IS.
 ] (The title company" mentioned in The Republicans headline of course related only to Henry's own com l pany-the United States Land Title l and Legacy Company.-Ed.)

Great, Britain must Hew to Line

Great. Britain must Hew to Line
Washington. Nov. T. The
United States in its latest note to
Great Britain. made public here
today, covering exhaustivelv
British interference with Ameri-
can trade since the beginning of
the European War, declares that
the SO called blockade instituted
by the Allies against enemy
countries on March II is ''in-
effective, illegal and indefensi-
ble." Notice is served that the
American Government cannot
submit to the curtailment of it's
neutral rights" and it cannot
with complacencesuffer further
subordination of ITS rights and
interests.
Ambassador Page to whom
the note was sent by special
messenger for delivery to the
London Foreign Office, was in
structed by Secretary Lansing
ito impress most earnestly" upon
the British Government that the
United States must. insist the
relations between it and His
Majesty's Government be gov
erned, not by a policy of expedi-
ency but by those established
rules of international corduct to
which Great Britain in the past
has held the United States TO
account when the latter Nation
was a belligerent engaged in a
struggle for National existence"
Declaring the United States
"unhesitatingly assumes" the task
of championing the integrity OF
neutral rights, the note proclaims
that the American Government
will devote its energies to the
task, exercising always an i'm
partial attitude.
The note nearly $4,000 words
in length, was made public by
agreement between the State
Department and the British Fore
ign Office. It carries with it a
voluminous appendix, giving the
text of american naval instruc
tions issued in 1862 and a sum
mary and table showing hun
dreds of vessels detained by
British authorities since the be-
ginning of the present war.
The body ofNthe note is devid-
ed into 35 points, healing with
an phases or me Gohrraoafidi

called blockade was instituted,
and announce that a separate
communication will be sent soon
dealing particularly with the
"propriety and right of the Brit.
ish Government to include in
their list of contraband of war
certain articles which have been
so included"
In conclusion, after an argu-
ment on the law and facts, Sec
retary Lansing says:
II believe it has been conclu-
sively shown that the methods
sought to be employed by Great
Britain to obtain and use evi-
dence of enemy destination OF
cargoes bound for neutral ports
and to impose contraband
character upon such cargoes are
without justification; that the
blockade, upon which such
methods are partly founded is
ineffective, illegal, and lndefen.

offered as a means of reparation
