ENGLAND Jusr,FlEs BLOCKADE.

London.-The attitude taken by the
the American note to Great Britain
is generally that, although the points
raised in the note are all open to ar.
gument, Great Britain's position is
that she is engaged in life-and-death
struggle and therefore has to consider
all questions on the practicable basis
of winning the war; that such world
war is bound to carry some incon-
venience to neutrals; bat that as far
as possible and consistent with doing
everything in her power to win the
war she is careful to do as little az
possible to injure the interests OF
neutrals.

Ign Grocer.

A thrifty Brooklyn grocer. who be
gan his career OF success driving de-
livery wagon, became ambitious after
he had bought out his former en-
ployer and for two or three years was
doing far better than ever and thought
he would make European trip as
others were doing who hadn't as much
money as he had. He arranged his
business for three months absence
and sailed away on a big ship. says
the Argonaut.
In due course he returned. and his
foreign experiences had pulled him up
amazingly. He stuck to his grocery,
but he looked down upon II with dis
dain and never lent a hand to his
clerks as once he did.
One day l. was standing in front
looking over the arrangement OF the
various articles usually displayed in
front OF groceries. and lady came by
who was one OF his old customers.
She looked around a minute or so for
what she wanted and found 1t. "Oh,
