FIRM NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN

Secretary Lansing furnished the
press a paraphrase of the note sent
to London, in protest against the
British detention of American car
goes, which indicates that the British
government shall know just exactly
how the case stands from the Amer
lean side. In strong contrast to the
circumlocution and evasion employ
ed by Earl Gray, the Lansing COM
munication is straight to the point.
The United States refuses to recog-
nize the British prize courts awards
in the disposal of cargoes seized in
contravention of international law.
If the United States were to accede
to the British contention in this mat
ter, 1t would also have to give in to
Germany on the use of submarines,
and thus would abandon all rights Of
neutrals to the claim of one or the
other of the belligerents to control
of the high seas. So far as right
and justice is concerned, the Allies
are no more warranted in assum-
ing the position they have in declar-
ing a war zone in effect including
the waters of the world, than was
the German government in declaring
a war zone to include the British
Isles. Such proceeding simply sets
aside the law of nations, together
with all the practice and conventions
that have grown up under it. No
amount of sophistry or special plead
ing can alter this.
Great Britain has no more right
to rewrite or readjust the interna-
tional code than has the United
States or Germany, nor can exigen-
cies of the war be pleaded as an ex-
cuse justifying a belligerent in abus-
ing neutral commerce.

BIG CIRCUS COMING
THIS WAY SOON

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
show on earth will exhibit at Allan
tic on Saturday, Aug 7th, and this
good news is being hearlded every
where by the many agents of this,
the biggest and foremost amusement
institution in the world. The Barnum
and Bailey Circus has always been
the largest that travels and this sea-
son the management has found it
necessary to add many more cars to
their trains in order to provide for
the great equipment. 1t requires IS
double length railroad cars to trans
port the big show, 1880 people are
employed, there are 700 horses, 40
elephants and a menagerie of 10
cages, $50 world famed artists take
part in the greatest circus program
this world has ever known
A fitting introduction to the won
derful performance this year, is the
presentation of the new, magnificent
spectacular pageant, "Lalla Rookh"
in which nearly 1000 characters take
part.
In the circus proper, which is pre-
sented in three rings, four stages, the
hippodrome, and in the dome of the
largest tent ever erected, $50 per-
formers from every nation in the
world take part and present vast
array of foreign featurees entirely
new to America. A wonderful train
ed animal exhibition is given by the
Marvellous War Elephants, Pallen-
berg's Wonder Bears, Madam Brad
mas Angel Horses, Thalero's Dogs,
Ponies and Monkeys, and the Bar
mum and Bailey Statue Horses.
Great interest is already being
shown in this neighborhood and
great crowds will no doubt go to At
lantic for the biggest and most en-
joyable holiday of the year. Every
one is advised to get an early start
in order to be there in time for the
parade which starts promptly at 10
A. M, and which is said to eclipse
anything of its kind ever before at
tempted in the history of circus
business.

RESIDENCES BURN.
Homes Of q. B. WheeIess and John D.
Annette Destroyed at Noon
Yesterday.

Yesterday at noon FIRE broke
out on the roof of the residence of
G. B. Wheeless on the Rodney
road just west of the railroad, and
practically the whole roof was on
FIRE before the blaze was discov.
cred. The FIRE burned rapidly and
soon crossed the few feet interven.
ing between the WheeIess home
and the residence of ]. D. Annette
and that too was soon consumed.
The FIRE company responded to
the alarm, but the great distance
from the burning buildings TO the
nearest plug prevented the fremen
from being of any service.
The WheeIess residence belong.
ed to R. d. Day, who carried an
insurance of $500 on the building.
Mr.. Wheeless' furniture was com
Pletely destroyed We understand
there was no insurance on this.
Mr.. Annette carried an Insurance
of $1,000 on bis home. Most OF
the furniture, which was uninsured,
was saved.
The town has been unjust to
that section in not supplying fire
protection. The corporate linn
its were extended without the
consent of the residents to be
brought in, but they have never
,een given any thing in return for
