my boss, the Mayor of Vancouver, B. c.,

Ia like it," l always wanted to see the
country anyway, and I'd just as lief live

the odds? The Presidents as good as the
King.

small, too. l only weigh seven pounds
But knew l was in good hands If l was
TO be in the care of the Shriners from
Philadelphia All my life / have found
the Shriners to be nice men, for his
Honor the Mayor of Vancouver was one,
and that was how happened to be given
away. One night when the Shriners from
Lu Lu Temple were on their way to the
exposition they We're entertained at din
ner by the Mayor.
He showed the visitors his kennels,
They admired me more than any of the
other dogs, for I'm pretty little thing,
a toy fox terrier, and 80 small. NV sire

brag bit about my ancestry If / wanted
to, but | don't. What I'm proud of Is
how much I've Travelled. Do you know
I've gone all of 1000 miles since | left
Vancouver, and I've had a jolly time
dog has travelled that far
The ladies in the party liked me a lot
and YOU bet l liked them. They made
an awful fuss over me. They had a lot
OF fun az my expense, but we were
all out for good time, so what was the
difference? Once, after we left Van

from my leash and Jumped from the
train. 1t had just left a station and the
engineer couldn't stop to take me on
again. So the party went on TO the next
station and sent telegram back for, me.

but | Joined them soon and they were
happy again. 1 caused them a scare an
other time by swinging along the out
side of the car dangling by my leash.
But ] was sorry for the worry / caused
them and tried after that to behave my
self better You see at the start | wasn't
very well used to travel
From the very beginning they called

Mrs. Geo. Ware and Mrs. Edwin IL. Ware

American cotton destined for Germany
is now stopped by our blockade. II tne
product is made contraband Il would De
stopped in the same manner The prin-
cipai difference would be that II cotton
were contraband, shipments from Amer
lea suspected to be for Germany would
he seized and would be liable to con
fscation; whereas. cotton is now selzeu'
but no! necessarily conhscated.
TO PERMIT NEUTRAL TRADING.
In sny case whether cotton shall be-
come contraband or not the Allies must
permit neutral trading in this product.
The American growers must be given
their market in neutral countries even
II they are adjacent to Germany ana
the industries of these countries must
have the cotton required for their own
needs
How to permit this supply TO go for
ward and yet safeguard the interests
of the Allies by making sure that none
of II go to the enemy, constitutes com
plcated problem of great dimensions
We are interested only in keeping cot
ton out of Germany. We not only do
not object to 1t going to neutral coun-
tries, but we are, in fact, anxious that
It should 60 In order that there may
be a minimum of Inconvenience to the
neutral Power concerned.
II hope America will not be impatient,
but will rest assured that the Govern
ments Of the Allies will give every con
sderation to the legitimate interests of
all nelitrals"

LONDON, Aug. IA.

LONDON, AuB' H.
Lord Robert Cecil, Under Secretary OF
Foreign Affairs, outlined the poiicy OIL
| Great Britain and her allies toward cot
ton for American newspaper. correspond
ents yesterday.
"The British Government, acting IN con-
junction with the Governments OF her
allies In the war, is giving the cotton sit
uation Its most earnest CoHsluei a'iOi''
said Lord Cecil.
''The Government s fully aware of the
Importance of cotton to America ana fully
understands that upon satisfactory ad-
iustment of the matter depends the well
fare, to n considerable degree, of nearly
onc-duarter of the population of the
United States, However, the welfare of
the whole population of Great Britain Is
involved as well as that of all OF her
allies.
SAYS ALLIES MUST ACT
at may be considered necessary to
make cotton contraband. There is de-
mand in the allied countries that this
should be done and there is assuredly
ample justification for the action if it Is
deemed necessary. Cotton is very inn
portant and essential ingredient, in fact
a propulsive explosive.
Copper Is contraband by all the laws
of nations, yet in the present war cot
ton is shown to be more important than
copper. There may be a substitute for
copper In making munitions of war, but
for cotton there is no known substitute.
"If American cotton goes through to
Germany, the Germans use 1t to kill the
soldiers of the Allies; therefore, cotton
must not go to Germany. The act of
making cotton contraband would be a
distinctly legal action and can interna-
tionally be justified beyond the possibil-
ity of protest.
80 far as American cotton is con-
cerned the problem of marketing it on
this side would undergo little change.
