PRESIDENT DECIDES
AGAINST EXTRA Session

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Prosident
Wilson practically has decided not 70
call q special session OF the Senate
before the meeting of Congress in
regular session. Although he is de-
sirous of having the Senates rules
amended so as TO give the majority
power to limit debate. he is under
stood to have become convinced that
it is better not to call the Senate to-
gether at this time.
Some of the Presidents advisers
still believe the special session should
be called to amend the rules and to
ratify the pending treaties between
the United States and Nicaragua and
Colombia.

and enjoy life whether in the home
or business world if they can keep
at bay those ailments peculiar to

how Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, that simple remedy made
from roots and herbs, goes to the
root Of the trouble and overcomes
such symptoms as backache. head

Mr.. Bavis has announced that he
intends some time in the near future
to propose plan whereby city Off
Gals can be elected on a non-partisan
basis It is said this plan provides
for a general primary nominating cleo
ton, all candidates for city offices,
irrespective of their political affilia-
tions, having their names printed upon
one ballot which will bear no party
emblem. The two candidates for each
office who receive the highest number
of votes at the primary election would
then be submitted to the choice of the
people at the fall election. Mr.. Bayis,
it is said, believes this is the only
way to remove city affairs from poll
tics.

New Note Shows Great Brit

Declarations Made in For

WASHINGTON, Aug. Great Brit
ain takes sharp issue with the Ameri-
can position that she is illegally inter
fering with the commerce OF the Uni
ted States. She has sent to the state
department three notes along similar
lines. In them she defends the Lon
don order in council The note re-
oeived today which it had been sup
posed modified the note Of last week
and took the teeth OUT OF the order
in council" does no such thing
1t was learned on the highest au-
|thority that the foreign office justifies
every act Of its naval commanders in
OBTAINING American vessels and divert
| ing them into British ports SO their
|cargoes could be passed on by the
British prize courts, despite the fact
THAT they are consigned to importers
/ in neutral countries.
The British foreign office reviews
the trade record compiled by the de-
|partment Of commerce in Washington.
From them it is pointed out that the
| bulk of exports for Holland, Denmark,
Sweden and Norway have been intend
led to reach German sources and the
British blockade against Germany Is
defended as a proper act OF war and
one that is justified by the precedent
Established by the United States gov
|ernment itself during the Civil war. In
Il edition she questioned the propriety
Of our caveat intended to protect our
rights in prize court proceedings.
Secretary of State Lansing stated
1.-THE text of these notes will be made
public next Wednesday morning. He
said that this time has been fixed by
the British government. In this con-
|nection the secretary stated that ne
|could not answer any questions about
the notes because the British govern
|ment lad asked that the state DEPART
|ment withhold comment until Wednes-
|day.
Because of the position that England
has assumed il is certain that a defin-
lite and strong protest will be sent for
ward reaffirming the position of the
United States that the order In coun-
|cil is in defiance of international law
and violation of England's obligation
