1onlon Jan. 5.---Although the Brit
ish fGss.n ofIice regards with high
favor tac United States governments
plan OF certifying cargoes destined fos
Europe. Il was said today that England
cannot accept such certification as alb
solutely guaranty OF the cargo. The
possible shifting OF cargoes at sea
makes II inadvisable that the right Of
search be waived.
II Is reported that Sweden, Norway,
Denmark and Holland are preparing to
revise their lists OF prohibited exports
to correspond with the British contra
band. This would aid In the resump-
ton OF american shipping to neutral
ports.
Ambassador Page received today
from Secretary Bryan an outline OF
the circular to American shippers
which urges that all manifests be
made complete and accurate as a pro-
lection against delays Of cargoes. It
states that efforts to conceal the real
nature of the goods covered by the
manifest may result in great delay
and work decided hardships to Ameri-
can shipping.
The treasury department offers to
furnish agents who will supervise the
loading Of carfoes and furnish certi-
Gates as to the completeness and ac-
curacy OF n1anifests.
Ambassador Page expected TO trans
init Secretary Bryan's communication
10 the foreign office shortly. The note
IS regarded as indicating that the
American government IA. trxing to
comply With Englands suggestion as
10 governmental inspection OF caTgoes
before they leave for Europe. The
adoption OF such a measure Is regarded
here as action that will make 1t possi-
bile for Great Britain to relax the
searching and delaying OF American
cargoes as soon as the neutral coun-
tries of Europe indicate a similar
Willingness to guard against trans
shipment Of contraband to Germany.
Austria and Turkey.
Secretary Bryan's message makes
It clear that inspection OF American
cargoes by treasury officials Is not
obligatory.

Trade.
New York, January 16.-Practicat
training gives girls independence and
precludes the necessity for marriage
without love, said William Howard
Taft today in an address at the an
nual meeting of the Hebrew Technic-
al School for Girls.
According to your report, 200
girls have been graduated from this
school. and am glad to see that on
ly ESQ got married." said the former
president. Nov, I am not oppos-
ed to matrimony, but I am one who
believes that there are thousands
of women who have made the world
sweeter. purer and better and who
did not marry.
"The trouble is that many women
have to marry. not because they love
the'man of their choice, but because
it is a custom. The only way to
avoid that condition is for girl to
become Independent by learning a
useful trade. Then, when man
who is scrub asks her to marry
she can say: 4 can do better, as
l am independent In this way she
can make no mistake"
Strong disapproval of the litera-
cy test in the immigration bill was
expressed by the speaker.

ed a Democratic Senator by 1850
and at the same time, elected two
Republicans out OF three Congress-
men, the Republicans carried the
Governorship by $1,000 and had q
like plurality OF the Congressional
vote.
Taking the total Of the Senatorial
and Congressional vote in each of
these three States. and dividing by
two to get the average party vote
in each State of national issues, the
result would be: Oregon: Republi-
cans. 1920; Democrats. $500.
South Dakota: Republicans 4S,500;
Democrats. $4,000. Nevada: Repub-
licans, san; Democrats. S,054. This
would at least, entitle the Republi-
cans to claim half of the ELECTORAL
votes of these three States, which
would amount to thirteen. and would
thereby. raise the Republican cleo
torial vote won in the election to
295.
Figures have been compiled from
twelve states in different sections of
the country. In the total votes cast
in these twelve. the Democrats won
by plurality of less than 100000. In
1912, the Democratic plurality in
these same states were over a mil
lion. A very small percentage of Re-
publican gain would have put three
of these states In to the Republican
column. as an increase of q little
over 5000 Republicans would have
carried Nebraska, Colorado and
Maine, with their twelve votes in the
Electoral College.
