STOP ALL SHIPPING
BLOCKADE OF UNPRECEDENTED
CHARACTER AS PROPOSED
WILL BE RUINOUs.
ENGLAND STATES POSITION
Try to Starve Germany and Austria
Our Government Awaits Develop
ments-RuIes Followed Since SO
Not Now Binding.

Washington.-A blockade of unpre-
cedented character, liable to involve
many complicated questions of inter
national law, is being considered here
by officials to be the likely import of
Great Britain's reported notification to
neutrals of her intention to hold up
all shipping to and from Germany anC
Austria.
The position of the Washington gov
eminent, it was pointed out, must
wait upon full information before any
one can undertake to say whether the
United States will recognize as bind
ing upon American shipping the pro.
posed limitations.
The proposed declarations by the
allies created widespread interest
among diplomats, as well as officials.
Some of the foreign ENJOYS from neu-
trail countries were interested partic-
ularly in the intimation that England
did not intend to maintain a blockade
of the German coast, but would hold
herself at liberty to stop all shipping,
no matter where encountered on the
high seas, if bound TO or from Ger
many
There is no exact precedent for such
policy but it was considered likely
in diplomatic circles that discussion
as to its validity and recognition by
neutrals would be based on the the
DRY that blockade was being at
tempted"
The Declaration of Paris in 1856,
which proclaimed that blockade, to
be binding on neutrals, must be eff
fective, has been followed by rules
since adopted by virtually all nations,
and was added to in The Hague con
ference of 1907 and the Declaration of
London in 1909, which later document.
with certain notifications, has been
adopted by England and France as the
base of their international procedure
in the present.

In population, Ell Paso's growth has
| been remarkable, during the past 10
years. But it has not had the phenom-
email ratio Of increase in population
which has been noted in its banking
wealth and property values It is
therefore self evident that the per cap
tia wealth of the people has increased
very notably.
The citys population. according to
the official census figuTesE was Is. 906
in 1900, and 1929 in 1910. So while
it did not double in five years. it more
than doubled in ten, and out of 200 cit
les in the United States, having 900
or more population in 1900, I believe
not more than ten showed a percentage
Of increase which anywhere near ap-
proximated that of FL Paso. Those
cities were Seattle, Portland, Oakland,
Berkeley CCaL), Flint CMich.), Tampa
and San Diego.
What 1920 VIII Show.
It is not unreasonable to hope. and
expect, that our population of 1929 in
1910 will double during this decade and
that 1920 will see us pass the $4,000
mark-po possibly even the 100000 mark.
For purpose Of better comparison, I
viii give in tabulated form the figures
showing growth in population, assessed
valuations. bank deposits and bank
clearings for the five year periods from
1900 to 1914. with 1915 estimated and
the reader can fill in the blanks for
1920 to suit his own fancy or judgment.
The total clearings for the years
1900 and 1905 must be guessed at as
official figures are not available for
these years. The approximate ratio of
5 to I shown between total deposits and
total clearings in 1910 and 1914 is taken
as a basis for<estimating 1900 and 1905.
The table follows;
