j. S. warns BRITAIN
PRESIDENT IN NOTE TO ENGLAND
SAYS KEEP HANDS OFF
AMERICAN TRADE.
Protest Sent From Washington Ex-
pected to Reach London This Week
-Couched in Most Vigorous Lam
guage Yet Used.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Couched In
more emphatic language than any yet
employed is the American note to be
presented to Great Britain this week
protesting against violations of Ameri-
can maritime rights and demanding
that further interference with our
trade shall cease.
The United States declares:
l. That its sovereign rights have
been invaded by the limitations, risks
and liabilities imposed by Great Brit
ain upon the ships of neutral powers.
2. That the procedure observed by
Great Britain under the various or
ders in council is illegal.
Holds Blockade Not Binding.
). That the British blockade, as de-
scribed in the orders in the council
and applied hereunder, is not bind
ing because il is not effective.
4. That the blockade is ineffective
in that it discriminates between the
trade of neutral Eations.
5. That the effect of British opera
tons is to blockade neutral countries,
which, of course, is in violation of in
ternational law.
g. That British practice subjects
neutral ships proceeding to neutral
ports to the same suspicion of guilt
which attaches to neutral ships
bound for ports of enemies of Great
Britain.
Z. That British practice results In
the seizure of innocent goods export
ed by Germany through neutral ter
ritory to neutral states and exported
by neutral states through neutral ter
ritory to Germany.
British Practice illegal.
8. That British practice in inter
fering with trade between neutral
countries is not only illegal but un-
fairly conducted.
9. That British practice imposes
the burden of proof of innocence
upon neutral shippers. whereas the
burden of proof of guilt should rest
upon the captor.
III. That the method observed by
British cruisers in taking neutral
ships into port for visit and search
works hardship upon the neutral own
ers and shippers and is not in accord
ance with the requirements Of inter
national law.
IL. That the contraband list as
expanded from time to time by Great
Britain is arbitrary and in violation
of recognized practice
II. That British Interpretation and
application of the doctrine of con-
tinuous voyage is not in accordance
with the Interpretation and applica-
tion OF the doctrine by the North
during the Civil war.
1t is fully expected the British gov
eminent will make some concessions
as result of the impending repre-
sensations, but it is not believed that
the underlying features of it's policy
will be substantially modified.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health

The experience of Motherhood Is q try
Ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the experi-
ence with an organism untitled for tbs
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, q most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
