Secret Lists of Boycotts Aimed

of Many American Firms

PEKING. China.-Rritish business.
men in China, In what they term an
effort TO prevent trading with the
enemy, have adopted tactics which are
not designed to create good feeling be-
tween neutrals and British subjects.
At Shanghai and other business cen
tiers secret list of firms with which
Britishers must not trade has been
circulated. In many cases these lists
have done great injustice to neutrals.
Americans have suffered especially
and are making frequent complaints
to the American legation in Picking
and to various consular officers.
Frequently, these boycott lists have
been made. apparently, without proper
Investigations. In some cases, the
names of neutrals which happened to
suggest German or Austrian origin
have been included in the lists very
unjustly. For time the neutrals
were not able to understand why their
business was dwindling so decidedly,
but now the British methods are very
generally understood.
Stock Exchange in Furor.
At present the Shanghai Stock Ex-
change is in a Juror through an eff
fort of the British members to control
the action of neutral members of the
exchange A few days ago the fol-
lowing notice was posted on the bulle-
tin board of the exchange:
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is
an institution incorporated under Brit
ish ordinances and under British law
and members are hereby notified that
the committee will take all means in
their power to uphold his Britannia
majesty's regulations regarding enemy
trading.
Certain neutral members are be-
lieved to have entered into transac-
tions with clients and outside brokers
who are subjects of countries enemies
to Great Britain. Whilst the COM
mittee is at present unable to disci-
pine neutral members who deal with
enemy subjects, it is pointed out that
any British member who knowingly
deals with such offending members
comes within the scope of the kings
regulations.
For the protection of British mem
bers the committee is willing to con-
dentially make known from time to
time the names OF these neutral mem

gency taxes imposed in October of
last year will be renewed, although
with some changes and perhaps with
some additions.
New taxes will have to be found
not only because of the increased
scale of expenditure which is contem-
plated, but for the reason that GUS

$50, 100000, and since July of this
year they have even been less by

Railroad Questions.
The Cummins Act will undoubtedly
have early attention in order that it
may be so amended it will not extend
beyond its original purposes and
cause its present incidental uncer-
tainties. Railway mail-pay will prob
ably continue to arouse controversy.
The post Office department will rein
troduce the bill which it urged in the
last Congress and which was severe
ly criticized by the railroads.
The subjects mentioned will serve
to indicate the great likelihood that
in the approaching session Congress
will be extremely busy with many
measures of direct interest to bust

Dear Sir:
Referring to the notice posted by
the committee today with regard to
neutral members OF the exchange
dealing with so-called enemy subjects
will you be good enough to inform
your committee that !, as neutral
have dealt with, and intend to con,
tinue to deal with, Germans, AustrL
ans, Turks and Bulgarians? A neu.
trail does not take sides and II would
be as improper, If the committees con.
tention held good, for me to deal with
Britishers If | declined to deal with
subjects of the other savage belliger.
ents.
Neither the committee nor the Brit
ish government can impose jurisdic.
ton on me- Their only remedy, II
they desire to force their attitude, Is
to attempt an expulsion-if they can
do 1t. The next step would be for
the committee of the Shanghai club
to forbid neutral members to deal with
the enemies of Great Britain or to
suffer expulsion.
THAT ! write so plainly is because
the committee has adopted the com
mittee of safety inquisition of the
French revolution with its attendant
secret Investigations. accusations and
general hole-and-corner policy, which
is one of the most despicable forms OF
rule, instead of frankly asking neutral
members of their doings. Has the
committee quite lost their heads, or
is it another specimen of British stu
pid officialdom 2"
Charges are made repeatedly by
neutrals in the Chinese papers that
much of the present agitation on the
part of the British businessmen is
largely selfish rather than patriotic
and is being used to their own com.
mercial advantage.

THINK HORSEFLESH
SENT TO HOLLAND
GOES TO GERMANY

LoNDON.-Fear that horse flesh
shipped to Rotterdam might find its
way as food into Germany resulted
in a $50 fine being imposed on a
horse flesh dealer at Hull this week.
The defendant had done business with
a horse butcher in Rotterdam for six
years. But he had exacted no bond
from the Rotterdam man to make
sure that the meat would not reach
Germany. For this lack of precaution,
he was fined. The butcher testified
that the war had made no difference
in the price of horse meat in Holland,
and he was paid according to the con,
dition in which the meat arrived. His
last shipment consisted of twelve car
casses.

CURIOUS
Survival of the Martinez Spirit
of the Old British Army
Appears.

LONDON, Dec. "a curious sur
vival of the martinez spirit OF the
old army appeared during the recent
visit of the king to the British
troops in France. when an order
was issued that the officers should
appear with swords during the royal
review. 1t was costly order for
the young officers, as few were pro-
vided with swords. which are the
most expensive part Of a kit.
Swords are obsolete as part OF an
officers equipment. in the field. ON
GERS who had them left them at

A small bamboo cane has taken the
place Of the sword except when In
action and then some officers carry
rifles.
In anticipation of the royal review
an order was issued at the head
quarters by France for all officers
to provide themselves with swords.
This piece of antiquated etiquette
fell heavily on the purses OF the sub
alterns. The king. on account or
falling from his horse was unable
to review his troops after all. And
It is said that the king would have
been the last man. In England to
place this heavy tax on his officers

With the buy In Clarksburg cam

OF all classes of citizenship. many
new angles are being developed from
this fundamental suggestion.
One of the prominent Clarksburg
merchants on Monday afternoon Of
fered brand new suggestion along
this line, and candidly admitted that
his mind was called to the idea
through the persistency of the buy

splendid successes therefrom that
have come under his personal obser-

To Turn Farm Waste Into Source Of
Profit.
"on every farm OF this character
there Is. OF necessity. considerable
waste. This waste Is not wanton,
but the production, perhaps may ex-
coed the actual needs of farmer
himself and the members of his fam
lily. Under present conditions, the
thought has come to me, that much
of this waste is an actual loss to the
farmer. The excess Of his individual
production may not be, and likely Ia
not sufficient to warrant his bring
ing 1t to town each day for sale,
hence when the accumulation may
become of such proportions that mai
or portion has become unusabie for
any purpose.
Particularly. 1 refer to milk, but
ter and eggs. I'believe that every
farmer and produce raiser has q
more or less excess OF output daily.
Suppose this excess should amount
to only one gallon Of milk daily. or
a pound Of butter. or a couple OF
dozen Of eggs. Neither Of these
excess items. nor all combined,
would warrant a farmer bringing to
town to peddle. Hence. in the. course
Of time all OF this excess would de-

an item for each Individual farmer.
1T occurs to me, II II were pos
sible to arrange some way in which
this excess at each little farm could
be gathered up daily by some CEN
trail agency, for the want Of a better
name. and brought to town, it is
my opinion that much OF the problem
OF the high cost Of living will have
been solved. It will provide another
source Of income to the farmer and
produce raiser, and afford the indi-
yidual buyers of the city and sub
urbs wider and more varied market
In which to purchase.
This is not an original idea with
myself. Some years ago happened
to be In section OF Ohio where
there were located several cheese
factories. In that vicinity learned
that every little excess OF the dairy
lean was taken care OF in this way,
a regular system Of collection being
maintained, even though the excess
amounted to not more than one gal
Ion OF milk daily. AS the collector
came around and took up the excess
