THE ALLIES VIEW.
(By Alfred w. Bryce

Postmaster-General Burleson's rul-
ing on shipments of food to Germany
in 11-pound packages by parcel post
is SO sound that it is likely to prove
offensive to the people who started
the movement We can hardly believe
that anybody seriously hopes in this
feeble and uncertain manner to re-
lieve economic conditions affecting
millions of people beyond the Rhine.
A more reasonable explanation of the
enterprise is that it was started with
the expectation of involving us in diff
ficulties with Great Britain and
France
Mr.. Burleson's instructions are that
foodstuffs be accepted at the risk of
the sender, and that, so far as the ac-
ton of belligerent nations are con-
cerned. foodstuffs and merchandise in
| the mails will be on the same footing
as like commodities sent by freight or
express. To make this meaning even
clearer, he asks all shippers Of food
or other contraband to separate it
wholly from other ordinary mail
matter.
/ There need be no doubt whatever
that the government of the United
States will insist upon the full rights
of its mail service everywhere, but
there should be no reason to suppose
it will undertake by that method to
provision nations at war.

THE GERMAN VIEW.
(By Hugo Won Kleist.)

On the pretext that rubber and cop
per may be smugeled into ships des-
tined for European ports. Great Bril-
tain has now undertaken an examina-
ton of cotton shipments. At the ports
of Galveston and New York. agents of
the British government subject bales
of cotton export to X-Ray machines,
issuing certificates (of the British
government) to the captains of the
vessels carrying shipments passed
upon. The matches of ships carrying
cotton, whatever their nationality,
are sealed by British or French con-
sular representatives
Shall American business continue
inertly and supinely to submit to
Englands shameful and humiliating
espionage? Will the government Of
the United States permit the inter-
ference on the part of Great Britain
with its rubber and wool trades by
restrictions said to be in fragrant vio-
lation of national laws? Will the de-
partment of state ignore the absolute

amounts to 60 per cent of the world S
supply Shall Great Britain be per-
mitted to hold shipments of copper
worth millions of dollars, the dispo-
sition of which is unknown, knowl-
edge being denied the owners? Shall
our neutral copper trade be wiped out
or shall we as an alternative submit
to Britain's agents, or at an exorbitant
commission, or to British manufac.
turers at their own prices?
Under these insufferable indignities
and insults, affecting our whole com
mercial life, the press of the United
States has remained silent, or, Nif il
had expressed itself, has been tenipor
izing, conciliatory, wheedling, weak

dition? JUST how good does the big
black really believe himself to be?
Does he feel that he retains the old
speed and punch, and strength to
fight off strong opponent?
Those are questions which can only
be definitely answered Monday when
Johnson and Willard meet, but sew
eral little incidents of the past two
or three days in the training camp
arouse the belief that Johnson him
self is very doubtful of his ability to
keep Willard off or hit the Kansan
hard enough to drop him.
Yesterday johnson did bit of road
work, but when time came for him to
go through his stunts with his box
ing partners, he declined on the
ground that it was raining. Four or
five hundred fans we're in the arena,
and made a great kick. There was
a slight fall of rain, but not enough
to interfere with the work scheduled.
Now the question arises, did john
son refuse to exhibit before the critics
for fear of having his real condition
exposed? He has been more secre-
tive about his work lately. 1t is sig
nif1cant that every fight critic who
has seen the two men in action dur
ing the last week is gradually shift
ing his adherence to Willard. Elk
perienced followers of the game who
went to Havana with their minds
made up for a Johnson victory, are
changing their allegiance, and get
ting in the Willard train.
Odds are shifting, until at ring time
it would not be surprising to see the
cowboy go to the post an even bet.
At best he will not be worse than
~ to 1, and this is wise money, laid
by American sportsmen who have
followed the fight game for years.
