Sir Edward Grey must In his second
note produce evidence in support Of these

forts will be- made 70 refuto the argument
OF Great Britain that the largely increased
exports of Contrahand from the United
States To- the neutral countries adjacent

contraband Is reaching British enemies
through those counties,
Representatives OF Italy and Sweden
assert that much of the increased expor-

States since the war was due TO the
fact that Germany. on which they had
previously depended. was no longer able
to supply them
Denial that the British Government Is
placing obstacles ~ the way of goods

tination WAS made to-day AZ the British
Embassy In the following statement:
1T s understood that certain American
and Italian shipping lines are refusing
TO carry goods consigned by name to
Swiss firms. and this refusal has been
attributed In some quarters 10 some sug-
gestion or action on the part OF the
British authorities. There Is no fGunda-
ton for the latter statement. The British
Government is on the contrary most
anxious that no restrictions whatever
should be placed In tine vay of articles
intended for bona hde consumption in
Switzerland"

Egypt Gets More Rain Now.

Rain fell In torrents In Alexandria,
Egypt, during the rejoicings over the
accession OF the new sultan. Some
fifty years ago the statement would
have seemed ridiculous; but of recent
years the climatic character OF Egypt
has lost its consistency, and now we
have rain in places where none was
known before, and more rain where
there was very little, or only the gen.
tie dew.
The English are believed to be re.
sponsible for the rain-with their new
channels for spreading over the land
the waters of the Nile. Cairo has only
two inches in the year, while 500 miles
up the Nile there is practically none
at all. Just as the plantation of trees
in a desert will bring rain, 80 is Egypt
now a moister place because of the
extension of cultivated lands. But ii
is not likely that all our western civ.
ilization will ever destroy the won.
derful dryness OF Egyptian air with
which the constitutions of inyalMs
and pyramids agree.
