BRITAIN HAS ACCEDED
TO PROTEST OF j. S.
Requisitioning of American Ships
Will Be Postponed Pending
j. Decision of Prize Court.

Ambassador Page at London advised
the State Department today that Great
Britain had acceded TO the American
protest against the requisitioning of
ships of the American Transatlantic
Company
Test cases will be made of the steam
ers Hooking and Genesee, which will
not be requisitioned, but held pending
decision of the prize court In the
meantime, Great Britain assures the
United States that no other vessels Of
the company will be seized.
Speedy Trial Is Expected.
Secretary Lansing in announcing re-
ceipt of Amba ssador Pages dispatch
said Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the British
ambassador, also had informed him
today of the decision of the foreign
office which is understood to carry
with it cancellation of the order requi-
sitioning the Hooking and Genesee A
speedy trial of the test cases is eX-
pected.
Announcement of Great Britain's
action was well received in official cir
Giles, where it was feared that requi-
sitioning the ships without prize court
proceedings might lead to difficulties
Other Ships Affected.
The Hooking and the Genesee, as well
as other ships belonging to the Ameri-
can company, were seized because of
suspicious that they had German in
terests. At the time of the formation of
the company the suggestion was made
by Great Britain that at least a part
of the money with which the ships
were bought and registered under the
American flag came indirectly from the
German government
The company has denied to the State
Department that single share of its
stock is held by any person other than
American citizens. Affidavits to sup
port that have been collected from the
shareholders.
Great Britain apparently has set
> aside, for the time, that part of the
order in council under which the crown
moved for the requisitioning of the
Hooking, the Genesee and other ships
of the line. The Genesee is at st. Luz
cha, West Indies The steamer Kanka-
kee is before prize court at Port
Stanley, Falkland Island. Several
other ships of the line are being held
in other ports.
The State Department was advised
that the British government would re-
lease the Winnebago and Kankakee
under bond. The Hooking and Genesee
cases, which were initiated at Halifax
and st. Lucia, will be transferred to
the prize court at London to save time
and avoid the possibilities of an ap-
peal from the subordinate courts.

Judge Lindsey Lauds Spirit of Love

NEW YORK, December "a wireless
message received from the steamer
Oscar II. signed and prepaid by Henry
Ford. was received here today. The
message gave a summary of speech
delivered aboard last night by Judge
Ben Lindsey of Denver, in which he
declared that the spirit of love would
be more effective in international poll
tics than military force.
Judge Lindsey told the peace advo-
Gates of his experience during sixteen
wears on the bench, drawing the con-
clusion that criminals responded more
quickly to trust than to shackles and
force. He argued against the pre-
paredness policy" basing a part of
his contention on the assertion that
firearms are unknown in the reform
prison camps in Colorado, except when
they are needed to protect the convicts
from persons living near the camps.
He compared "militaristic elements"
with the third degree policeman" and
deprecated the efforts of force in either
case.

Well, dear sinner friends. this Is
The Fool Killer.
How does it set on your stomach? ?
If you like it, you can get more at

The Fool-Killer is not even
eleventh cousin to any other paper on
earth.
It stands in a class by itself, and
it's field is as broad as the Engllsn
Language.
This paper wears no bell. muzzle,
collar or halter.
You can put that down to start

Does that sound strange.
Well, bless your soul, am great
deal richer than old John.
never travelled any to speak of, but
I have read a great deal and have
thunk some.
I have also writ few books which
I know are great. because they don't
sell worth cent.
Great books never do.
And then I started The Foo1-Rler
just TO quiet my nerves anu keep the
old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion Of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
a bundle of literary dynamite that will
shake the rotten foundations Of socie-
ty and cause the Church of Mammon
to at last turn over in its sleep.
The Fool-Killer is a monthly Mus
tard-plaster for the blood boils Of So.
ciety, Church and State.
It is salted with wit, peppered with
humor and seasoned with sarcasm.
Every line cuts like whip, and ev'
cry word raises a blister. -
If you are fool you had better mo-
subscribe for The Fool-kfller. If yoJ
are wise you will. And so that settles

And besides being a preacher,
defender of the home, mar

the "Rev." John Wesley Hill is
also president Of the Internation-

time he can spare from his vari-

most loyal army Of readers and
club raisers that any editor ever
had, and this faithful army is
growing rapidly larger each
month. | would like to write a
long personal letter on my type
writer and mail it under a two

sends in a club, but that would
be utterly impossible. 1t would
take fifty typewriters going con-
tinually to write personal letters
to all my good club-raisers and
friends, and the cost would break
me up. So we will have to con-
tent ourselves with these ''Heart-

us try to cultivate a feeling of
perfect confidence in each other,
and then we can always work to-
gether in harmony.
