PROTEST OF U. s.
Sent TO ENGLAND
COMPLAINTS MADE AT INTER.
FERENCE WITH TRADE BY
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS.

Observation-Disclosures long con
sidered protest against British inter
ference with commerce between the
United States and Europe has been
dispatched to London by special mes,
senger and will be presented by Am.
bassador Page at the British foreign
| office.
1t became known that the note.
which is about 10000 words long and
covers exclusively the argument OF
the American government on all
phases OF interference with neutral
trade, was approved by the presiden.
and started on its way to London.
Alexander W. xxx, third secretary OF
the American embassy at Berlin. who
had returned to Washington carrying
documents from Ambassador Gerard,
was entrusted with the mission on
his return journey to Berlin.
Until the fact that the communica,
ton had been sent was kept secret, In.
structions having been given to offl.
Gals that no announcement Of any
kind was to be made about it. That
it contains a repetition of arguments
made in the note of March 30, which
recorded the Washington governments
first protest against the order in coun.
Gil or so-called blockade, is admitted,
but no intimation was given by Off.
Gals as to what measures are pro
posed in the event that there is no
modification of British practices.
Not only does the latest communica-
ton cover the various notes and mem
oranda sent by the British govern
ment since March 30, but 1t also &C.
knowledges and discusses the lengthy
notes that came from Great Britain In
January in response to the first pro-
tests by the United States against in
reference with neutral trade.
1t was the note now on its way
which former Secretary Bryan advo-
Gated sending at the same time that
the second Lusitania note was dis
patched to Berlin last June. Presi-
dent Wilson declined to send it at
that time because Of the fear that the
United States might be placed in the
position Of bargaining for its rights
with Germany on the basis of its atti-
tude toward Great Britain.
With the clearing up of the subma-
rine controversy through the satisfac-
tory settlement Of the Arabic case, It.
was announced at the safe Depart
nent that the note to Great Britain
would go forward. After three weeks
Of consideration at the White House
it finally was dispatched
AS prepared originally at the State
the document was under
stood to be vigorous in tone and re-
plete with objections to Great Brit
aims policy. No intimation as to,
the document since has been

LESSON FOR ALL MANKIND
Might Be Well u Everyone Would
Devote a Little Time to Care.
Of His Hinges"

Once upon a time there lived an old
gentleman In a large house. He had
servants and everything he wanted.
yet he was not happy. and when
things did not 60 as he wished. he
was very cross. At last his servants
left him. Quite out of temper. he
went to a neighbor with story Of
his distresses.
1T seems to me-" said the neighbor.
sagaciously. "'twould be well for you
tool yourself little"
ITO oil myself?"
Yes; and will explain. Some time
ago one of the doors in my house
creaked. Nobody, therefore, liked to
go in or out by it. One day oiled
its hinges. and 1t has been constantly
used by everybody ever since"
Then you think Il am like the
creaking door," cried the old gentle
man. How do you want me to oil
myself?
That's an easy matter" said the
neighbor. Go home and engage
servant. and when he does right
praise him. II, on the contrary. he
does something amiss. do not be
cross; oil your voice and words with
the Oil Of love-"
The old gentleman went home. and
no harsh or ugly words were ever
heard in the house afterward. Every
family should have a bottle of this
precious Oil: for every family is liable
to have q creaking hinge in the shape
