war this government assumed that the
policy adopted by the British govern
ment was due to the unexpected out
break OF hostilities and the necessity
or immediate action to prevent con-
traband from reaching the enemy. For
this reason 1t was not disposed to

vigorously. although Il was manifestly
very injurious to American trade with
the neutral countries OF Europe. This
government, relying confidently upon
the high regard with which Great
Britain has so often exhibited I'm tile
past for the rights of other nations,
confidently awaited amendment OF q
course of action which denied to neu-
trail commerce the freedom 10 which
IT was entitled by the law OF nations. 5

LITTLE THINGS.

How would you like to draw down
a good salary and get a trip to the
Pana ma Exposition thrown in, Just
for measuring a half-fnch crack
morning and evening? That's what
the special attendant of the Liberty
Bell Is required to do--just measure
every morning and evening with a
tape measure to see if the crack in the
big bells side is any wider than the
last time he measured it.
Fer doing this the attendant gets
his salary and was taken across the
continent to the san Francisco Ex-
position SO that the greatest relic In
the United States might be properly
guarded, -.
1t is the little things that count.
Every day there are things no big
ger than this to be done by every
man and woman, and every one OF
those things is of as much impor-
lance in the future of that persona
life as. the size OF me crack In
the Liberty Bells side is to the preser.

This is exactly the case The pco-

The offense is not vapory or airy

missal on the assumption that he act

a rebuke to him personally, now his
dismissal would not concern him save
as an agent, but it would be the means
of manifesting our displeasure at tae
stand taken by Austria. Not only
this, but refusal to receive a success
