 Betterment.
SITUATION IMPROVES
(By Samuel Gompers, President

(By Samuel Gompers, President
 American Federation of Labor.)
 Washington, Dec. 31-The number of unemployed in the country today is considerable, but I think there has been a reduction in the past month, and I am of the opinion that acute as the situation is, the number is no greater now than last year at this time.
 I believe that every public work that can be undertaken now should be undertaken rather than postponed to some other time.
 The reports which I receive do not come in the form of statistics, but as statements from the officers of the various trade organizations, and from them I gather that conditions are cas- ing up.
 The improvement has developed during the past month. I am looking forward to an era of revived industry and general employment in the next few months.
 Everything ought to be done to help the unemployed to get work. The em- ployment of the many thousands now out of work would not only alleviate their condition, but in the consump- tion of things they require and would purchase would set other men to work producing them and thus prove an all-around benefit.

]. $. NOTE 10
 GREAT BRITAIN
 PLA|N WARNING Text of Protest to Seizure of American Ships Given Out
 in Two Nations.
ENGLISH POLICY
 IS UNDESIRABLE
Firm Is Attitude of Washington in This Controversy, Though Note Does Net indicate Strained
 Relations.

1 Washington. Dec. 31 The text or
 government on the question of neutral
 shipping was made public by the state
 department tonight, simultaneously
 with the publication by the British
 foreign office in London.
 l Although the note is a plain warn
 ing to Great Britain that ''the pres ent condition of the American trade ! with the neutral European countries i is such that if it does not improve it may arouse 9 feeling contrary to that which has long existed between the American and British people, it is throughout couched in friendly terms and there is no suggestion that the relations of the two governments are strained.
 This government in it's note, de- clares that commerce between coun- tries which are not belligerents should not be interfered with by those at war unless such interference is manifest ly an imperative necessity to protect their nations safety and then onlN to the extent that it is necessity. This government declares England's policy toward neutral ships and cargoes ex- ceeds the manifest necessity of a bel ligerent and constitutes restrictions upon rights of American citizens on the high seas which are not justified by the rules Of international law or required under the principles of self preservation.
 The United States cites seizures by the British of several ships from this country to such neutral nations as Italy aand Sweden as unjustifiable, and asks the British government for information as to the manner in which she proposes to carry out the policy she has adopted, in order that this government may determine the steps necessary to protect her own citizens engaged in foreign trade.
 "Not only is the situation critical one to the commercial interests of the United States concludes the note, "but many of the great industries of this country are suffering because their products are denied long estab-
 lished markets in European countries which, though neutral, are contigu- ous to the nations at war
 Producers and exporters, steamship
 and insurance companies are pressing
 and not without reason, for relief from
 the menace to transatlantic trade
 which is gradually but surely destroy
 ing their business and threatening
 them with financial disaster"

Washington, Dec 31.-That tre United States government has pre- pared and is about to send to Great Britain a note dealing specifically with Great Britain's attitude on con- trahand was learned definitely to- night from official sources. -r.
 It is pointed out to Great Britain in the draft of the note of contra Land.
 First, that a merchant of the United States ca: sell to France, Germany Austria or any nation in the world anything that is manufactured in this country or Is a: product of this coun-, try. w
 Second, that the United States has no control oyer such freedom of com merce, which is an international right of tine American citizen.
 The United States contends ;sat the sole duty of preventing the products of the United States from getting in to the hands of the enemy, even 1T they are contraband goods, rests upon the belilgerent nations.
 As the corollary of this 1t Is as- serted that it is not the duty of Amer ican officials to exercise espionage over exports, at ports in the United States. d.. r. is further contended that the hel1irerent nations, if they cannot m event the arrival of vessels at des- tinations would have no cause ot complaint to the United States. :.
 The assertion is made that there is m treaty. nor intimation Or express sion in this history of maratime law which imposes upon the United States the dntv of preventing the export of war rnaterials or any other materials to any port in the world.

to pay board, then the child can find
work at the school or at assisting with
chores or housework, and acquire high
school education just the same. Such
a child will be more highly respected
than his weather. fellows, and will be
having the advantage of practical les

good, write to Supt. S. r. Logan, Leon,
about it right away.
The school management will take
special pains to care for children S ply
sical and moral welfare as we'll as their
intellectual development. Since the
enrolment is comparatively small this
can be done very effectualy, each
child having much individual attention.
Since nearly everyone realizes that a
high school education is even more nee
essary for success for the son and
daughter than was elementary instruc-
tion for the father and mother, it is
reasonable to suppose that every parent
and citizen will do his part in bringing
about maximum use OF the advan-
tages offered and in increasing the
facilities of the schools to the utmost.
