Right Of the Allies To De-
clare a Blockade OF
Neutral Coasts.

Washington. - The United States

Britain and France, in the British Or

my notes have not answered the ques-
lions propounded to them as to what
warrant there is under international
law for the establishment of an en-
barge on all commercial intercourse,
directly and indirectly, between Ger
many and neutral countries.
1t was stated officially at the State
Department that this government still
does not know whether the action OF
the Allies is intended as legal block
ade or whether the ordinary rules of
contraband and non-contraband are to
be the legal basis for future detentions.
On determination of this question
probably will depend not only the
nature of any steps which may be
taken by the United States at this
time, but also the basis for the many
claims for damages arising out of in
terruptions to American commerce I'M

day in the biggest revival the country

farewell to Philadelphia.

preached to audiences that overlooked
the tabernacle, some 10000 being the

converts and reaped total of 1858
for the day. This number represents
the actual number who signed con-
Verts' cards, though it represents only
a portion of those who came down and
shook his hand.
The number of converts for the IL
weeks of the campaign totals 41,724.
SO Far as results go, the country has
never seen anything like it. 1t not

Audiences Stay Till Last.
-Four audiences went wild at his first
appearance and four audiences stub
bornly refused TO leave the tabernacle
until the evangelist himself left the
platform. Eleven weeks had wound
him around their hearts until the
hearts bled when he was torn away.
Men and women pulled down signs
from the tabernacle posts and carried
them away. They scooped up big
handfuls of sawdust from the shadow
of the pulpit. filed their pockets and
their handkerchiefs with it and carried
1t home. They took the tin pans which
have gathered the tabernacle offer
ings; they tore the bunting and flags
from about the rostrum, the flowers
from the pulpit. They carried away
everything loose that could serve as
memento Of the campaign.
