WOULD CALL OUT
ARMY AND NAVY
tContinred from Page one.)

without interruption. In the winter
of 190S-1909 a conference was held
in London, participated in by nine
great naval powers, at the invitation
OF Great Britain. The membership
of that conference was composed of
the great international lawyers of the
world. They agreed unanimously up
on putting cotton on the free list. The
fact is, the report of that convention
had been accepted by the powers Of
the earth as the law between the ma
ions.
II think am in the limits of conser-
3vatism when say that England's ac.
tion, putting cotton on the cantraband
list, in the opinion Of the great in.s-.
national lawyers of the world flagrant.
1y in violation of the law. That being
the fact, 1t becomes the duty of the
administration at Washington to do
anything needful to force England to
take the embargo off of cotton.
'Tf the American government would
be justified In calling out the navy to
drive lot Of pirates from the sea, it
would be equally justified in using the
army and navy to prevent the robbery
and plumber which the cotton growers
of America are suffering as a result
OF England putting cotton on the CON
traband list.
'If / were not afraid that some
syncophantic, political or editorial
1ickspittel would charge me with be-
ing sectional In my sympathies and
patriotism, I should say that IL cotton
we're grown north of the Mason and
Dixon's line, the public sentiment
would have long ago forced the ad-
ministration to take the necessary
steps to right this wrong to American
citizens. But you know / don't like

NORWAY DIRECTING
TO BRITISH ORDERS
DOESN'T WANT HER SHIPS TO
TOUCH THE ENGLISH
PORTS.

Christiana, Norway, Sept. 2S.-Nor-
wegian ship owners complain bitterly
against the practice of English war
ships in forcing Norwegian vessels
bound for Norway to put back to a
lNBritish port. In many cases these
Norwegian ships have been outside OF
the war zone, and, on their being
forced to return to British ports they
have been the victims of German sub
marines. Had the vessels been left
alone by the British ships they would
have reached their home port safely.
Protests from Norway to England
have been met by the answer that the
| British government will hold itself re-
Isponsible for Norwegian shipping that
is treated in this manner, but the Nor
wegian owners continue to see their
fships destroyed.
+ The question has become especially
acute since the Norwegian-American
line steamer Trondhjemsfjord was tor.
pedoed by German submarine. An
English cruiser had stopped the steam
er, put prize crew on board and di-
rected the vessels course to Kirk.
wall, when the torpedoing occurred
The Norwegian press complaining
| against the British Admiralty
assert that the steamer was
loaded in New York under the super.
vision of three inspectors from the
British consulate who sealed the
ships matches, and among the ships
papers was an affidavit from the con.
sulate to the effect that the ship had
not other cargo than what the papers
showed. Aside from this, the Nor.
| wegian government had guaranteed
| that possible contraband would not be
reshipped from Norway to any of the
belligerent countries. Notwithstand
ing this the ship was seized, prize flag
hoisted and the unlawful prize was di
rected toward Kirkwall. The chief oil
the German submarine torpedoed the
| steamer because it was bought from
England last December and was there
fore, according to his instruction con
sidered to be an English ship.
The loss of the Trondhjemsfjort
amounts to several million dollars
only partly covered by insurance
There was no contraband on board ac
cording to German rules. The cargo
consisted of 10000 bushels of grain
pork and tobacco.
The loss of Norwegian ships since
the war broke out year ago amounts
to about $1O,OOO,0O0 of which onl,
four million was covered by Insurance.
the rest falls on the ship owners
The majority of the ships have beel
ltorpedoed by German submarines, sey
eral without warning.

London, Dec. 15.-It was announced this evening that Lieut-Gen. Sin Douglas Haig would succeed Sir John French as commander of the British forces in France and Flanders.
 Tho recall of Field Marshal Sir John French will occasion no surprise to those who have closely followed the political news from London dur ing the past six months. If open scandal does not also break out in high military circles, Great Britain will have cause for rejoicing.
 It is not discounting the military prowess of Sir John to say he has al- ways ranked in England as political general It was around him that the recent campaign against War Minis ter Kitchener ragged, the attack on the latter having been inspired by Sir Johns loyal friends.
 Certain London newspapers, in- deed, hinted at the time that the campaign against Kitchen was in fact directed by Sir John French. On the part of French adherents, it was urged that the lack of marked suc- cess of the English expeditionary forces was due to Kitchener's failure to keep the troops adequately sup piled.

This was considered more effective than prose- cution in the. courts, since the em- ployes have gotten pay for their ser vices, and the employer has learned his lesson just as effectively without the humiliation and annoyance of a court procedure. It is certain that he will not again violate the law.
 No reports are coming to the com. Missioner of any violations of the maximum hour law for women en- ployes. It is being rigidly enforced, and any infringements of the law will be prosecuted by the commis- siOner.
