TO PUT BURDEN ON SHIPPERS
OFFICIAL NOTICE OF BAN ON
COTTON RECEIVED AT WHITE
HOUSE.
England Will Force Ships Carrying
Staple to Prove its Destination
Protest from United States, it is
Expected, Will Force a Change i'm
This Method of Procedure.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The under
standing in official quarters that Great
Britain intends to put the burden of
proof on the American shipper of cot
ton when cargoes of that staple are
seized as contraband furnished the
state department today an additional
cause for protest.
A telegram was received from Am
bassador Page at London transmitting
a royal British proclamation placing
raw cotton, linters and cotton yarn
on the contraband list.
This dispatch was the official con-
firmation Of the action of the British
government making cotton contra
band.
The department now has in prepa-
ration a note Of protest concerning
the recent contra band cotton decree,
as we'll as the general blockade sit
luation brought about by the previous
order in council.
| In seizing cotton cargoes under the
order in council Great Britain has
| lendeavOred to make the shipper prove
! the cargo was not intended ultimately
to reach one of it's enemies.
/ It Is now understood Great Britain
will employ the same meth DDS in con.
I f1scating cotton cargoes under its
cOntraband decree.
1t is the position of the state de.
partment that the burden of proof
should be upon the nation seizine
the cargo and attempting to confis.
cate it.
Instead Of forcing shippers to prove
that seizure is illegal and the detain.
ed cargo Is really for neutral coun.
try. this government insists Grea,
Britain should be required to prove
| that the seizure is legal.
| The oldfashioned American doctrine
that q man is innocent until proved
guilty applies, in effect, to the present
diplomatic situation.
The United States is expected te
demand that Great Britain apply thi.
principle to the cotton seizure ques
ton.
The British attempt to shoulder of
the proof Of cotton shipment destina.
tions onto the shippers undoubtedl,
will draw a strong reply from Wash.
lington, 1t was said.
II the cotton shippers were forced
into such a stand it would not only
be in contradiction of all legal prin
ciples. officials declared, but would
enable Great Britain to seize vessel.
On the slightest pretext, hold them il
prize court for an indefinite period
until the shipper could prove the ship
ments were for neutral destination
and aside from imposing a terrific
financial burden upon the shipper
open up the way for resumption
of the notorious delay of British priz,
courts, which already has drawn &
request for more speed from tn,
American government.
1t Is believed Great Britain will no
attempt to any great degree to avUil
assuming proof of cotton destinations
but little hope was expressed in Off
cial circles that any American pro
test would invalidate the contrabant
order.

James +. Lentz, of Elizabethville,

the Reid Tobacco Company, of Milton,

demand all of my time said Mr..
Lentz. 'and / have resigned my po-
sition with the Reid company, to take
effect the first of the year. / would
have made this announcement during
the campaign, except that ] felt that
many would look upon it merely as
plea for votes"

vile, who has been with the Reid COM
pany seven years, and who is making
the rounds with Mr.. Lentz this week,

KINDS OF RHEUMATISM

In popular language the word rheu-
niatism is a term that covers q multi
tude of ills of which pain is the CHIEF
symptom.
Articular rheumatism, inf1ammatory
rheumatism and rheumatic fever are
all names for the same disease. Mus
cular rheumatism affects the muscles
and does not spread from one spot to
another like infammatory rheuma-
tism. Lumbago is a form of muscular
rheumatism.
Some people have rheumatism every
winter, especially those people who in
herit rheumatic tendency. They will,
continue to have recurring attacks
until the blood is built up TO a strength
sutf1cient to overcome the rheumatic
poison. External applications and
drugs that simply relieve the pain are
useless. DR.. Williams Pink Pills build
Up the blood and really correct the
trouble.
With the poisons in the blood there
Is a continual combat between the
health forces and the disease. When
the rheumatic poison prevails the
blood gets thin rapidly. When the
blood is made rich and red by DIR.
Williams Pink Pills the poisons are
destroyed and expelled.
The free booklet. Building Up the
Blood" tells the whole story, and the
diet book. What to Eat" will be sent
on request by the Dr.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own
druggist sells Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.

AGED GRANDMOTHER
So Weak She Could Hardly
Stand-Made Strong by Vinol.

Right here in Harrisburg we have
seen such excellent results from Vinol
that it is pleasure to know it is doing
SO much good for old people in other
parts of the country.
Woodbridge, N. J.-"My Grandma
was recovering from the grippe and
was so weak she could hardly stand.
and as she keeps house for my father
and myself. she could not get around
at all. She had taken cod liver oil and
many other medicines, but nothing
seemed to do her any good. At last
we heard of Vinol and tried it. And
Grandma commenced to feel better
right away, and got strong very soon,
so she gets around as well as ever. We
all praise Vinol for it is a splendid
medicine. Myrtle II. Bum.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
restoring strength to the aged is be-
cause of the rare combination of tonic
iron. the curative medicinal extractives
of fresh Gods livers, beef peptone and<
mild native wine. 1t supplies iron to
the blood, quickens the appetite, aids
digestion, promotes proper assimi-
lation of food. and enriches the blood,
and brings back the strength of re-
newed health.

ROTARIANS TAKE
LUNCH AT SENATE
w. S. Essick Speaks on Advan-
tages of Corporate Insurance
Under Compensation Law

The Rotary Club luncheon at the
Senate Hotel to-day was marked by d
sharp criticism of the State insurance
plan for operation under the work.
mems compensation act by William S.
Essick, insurance representative. who
told the members that their best in
terests lie with policies in any of the
old-established companies, backed by
large capital, and which guarantee the
poltcyholder against liability as we'll as
compensation. Mr.. Essick also spoke
against the newly organized Manufac-
turers' Mutual company. with a capi-
tai of S250.000, and predicted that it
would be no more successful than
many others of its kind operating else
where
Secretary MoColgin, of the Chamber
OF Commerce, in reuIy said that Albert
l.. Allen, assistant manager of the
State Insurance Board, who will ad-
dress the Chamber at the Harrisburg
club tonight, will simply explain the
law and will not advocate the adop-
lon of any one kind of insurance.
n. e. Buchanan, division passenger
agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad at
this point, presided and more than
forty members attended. The meeting
was enlivened by short addresses and
songs.
