U. S. TELLS BRITAIN TWO
BLACKS DON'T MAKE ONE WHITE
WASHINGTON. D. c., April 6.-The
notes Of Great Britain and France in
which they outlined their proposed
blockade Of all German, Austrian and
Turkish ports and announced their in
tention Of preventing any trade being
carried on with these nations, was
made public here and in London and
Paris last night
The American note, addressed to
the British foreign secretary, an
nounced that the United States is un-
able to admit the right claimed in the
British order in council, and unable to
agree with the claims Of the Allies
that they are justified in placing an
embargo upon all commerce between
Germany and the neutral nations.
The note reviews the whole situa-
ton and goes at length into the legal
phases of the matter, concluding with
this statement:
at is the expectation of the United
States that the government of Great
Britain, having considered the posi-
bIities that might arise through any
serious interruption Of the trade of
the United States under this order in
council, will take such steps as are
necessary to avoid them, and, If they
occur, will be prepared to make full
reparation for eech violation of the
rights Of neutraIs which may occur.
'If the course pursued by the enc
mics of Great Britain is tainted with
Illegally, America does not suppose
that his majesty may wish that the
same faint is to be attached to his
own actions"

IMPRESSED b. the stern realities and
sterner prospects of war, women of all
ranks In England are making rigid
economy the fashion. Fashions" in the
ordinary sense of the term, are taboo
from Queen Mary and Peeresses, young
and old, down TO housewives OF the
masses, footlight favorites and shopgirls.
The Queen set the example two or
three months ago by appearing in sim
pier costumes, while 1t was announced
that King George has materially reduced
the expenses Of his household at Buck
ingham Palace, cutting out several de-
@artments and releasing many attendants
and servants to serve the Government in
munition factories and elsewhere.
The Queens example was soon fol-
lowed by ladies closely connected with
The court. and now most OF the women
l. aristocratic society are economizing
y Ways undreamed of before the war
Iteir ranks are being increased every
DAY, partly owing to the activity Of the
Parliamentary War Savings Committee,
including the economy pledge propaganda
in the hands of Mr.. II. +. Morgan.
This pledge has taken the concrete and
detailed form displayed on this page. 1t
is blanket" form of pledge which is
appropriately signed by any English
woman, however rich and noble, however
humble. The economies which it's sign
ers pledge themselves to practise are OF
the kind that will conserve the country's
resources in the most practical way For
example. as an Offset to the soaring
prices Of food, the owners of splendid
country houses are converting orna.
mental parts OF the grounds into vcge-
table gardens. Even that former Amer.
lean, William Waldorf Astor, has offered
to the War Savings Committee the use
of the great estate of Cliveden at its dis
erection.
The Scottish beauty, Miss Farquharson,
of lnvercauld, personally directs vege-
able gardening in the grounds OF her
country house. Many other rich English
society women are helping to solve the
iood problem in the same way.
The most unexpected economies, how.
ever-economies which society women
the word over are iast to nut into prac-
.ise--are in relation to personal adorn.
ment. For once in the history of Eng
lish fashionable society old clothes are
the fashion. The modistes, miliners.
dressmakers and jewellers are finding
themselves and their wares virtually
ignored.
1t is known that the beautiful young
Countess Percy, for instance is adding
nothing to her wardrobe this season. It
is said that several weeks ago she made

This is one of the methods of econo.
MIXING that is in the highest favor with
the War Savings Committee. Its general
adoption in the great houses would do
much toward keeping down the prices of
food neccssaries.
Another economy that appeals power.
fully to the Government consists in the
use OF the humber public vehicles, omni.
busses and tram, cars, because this re-
leases great number of private motor
cars for Government use. 1t is matter
OF common knowledge that Lady Merrel

Some have gone a step further and

There is so much enthusiasm for the

OF being the worse off for tin fact.
there never was time when the women
OF England seemed more cheerful and
energetic.
