IS Points Are Made
The body Of the note is divided into So
points, dealing with all phases Of the
contraband question, seizures and deten-
tons, prior to. as well as after, the So
called blockade was instituted. and an
nounces that separate communication
will be sent soon dealing particularly
with the "propriety and right Of the
British government to include in their
list of contraband of war certain arti-
cles which have been so included"
Judicial Procedure Defective
In conclusion, after an argument on
the law and facts, Secretary Lansing
says:
Il believe it has been conclusively
shown that the methods sought to be
employed by Great Britain to obtain and
use evidence of enemy destination Of
cargoes bound for neutral ports and to
impose a contraband character upon
such cargoes are without justification;
that the blockade, upon which such
methods are partly founded. is ineffec-
tive. illegal and indefensible; that the
judicial procedure offered as a means Of
inherently defective for the purpose; and
that in many cases jurisdiction is assert
ed in violation Of the law Of nations.
The United States. therefore. cannot sub
init to the curtailment of its neutral
rights by these measures. which are adj
mittedly retaliatory. and therefore lille
gal, in conception and in nature. and in
tended to punish the enemies Of Great
Britain for alleged illegalities on their
part. The United States might not be in
a position to object to them If its inter-
ests and the interests Of all neutrals were
unaffected by them, but, being affected.
it cannot with complacence suffer fur
Their subordination Of its rights and in
terests to the plea that the exceptional
geographic position Of the enemies Of
Great Britain require or justify oppre-

that it must insist that tho relations be-

WHAT MAKES A CITY,

The Home Trade and Harvest FEES
tival edition of the Redfeld Press
says: What makes a town, anyway?
Is it the wealth shown by the homes
and splendid buildings? These may
attest the stability and thrift Of GER
tain people, but they offer not the
greatest inducements to commercial
and moral progress.
Is it the spirit Of good order and law
observance? That is a factor only.
The ~sleepiest old hamlets that dot the
land may have this spirit in rank
abundance.
Is it the school and churches? May
their number always increase, but
they don't make a town-they only
culture it. Is it the geographical loca-
ton, the character, the surrounding
country, shipping facilities, the ma
tural advantages?
None of these is essential.
What makes a town?
The unity Of the people, the exist
ence of a common bond which causes
business and social enemies to put
aside all differences when it m to
boosting a town.
No town ever made real progress
on the way to substantial success
without the ~get-together spirit unani-
mously adopted. 1t has r~ejuvenated
old hulks of towns that were yawning
their way to endless sleep. 1t has in
fused new blood into the heart OF COM
merce and made thriving cities out of
p~aralytic villages.
Natural advantages count for much.
and prosperity cannot be built on
shifting sand, but any town with half
a chance can be made to grow and ex-
pand and thrive when it's citizens join
with one accord in the boosting pro-
gram.

Penrod was out In the yard staring
at the empty marquee. The sun was
on the horizon line, so far behind the
back fence, and a western window Of
the house blazed in gold unbearable to
the eye. His day was nearly owe
He sighed and took from the inside
pocket Of his new jacket the "sling
shot" Aunt Sarah Grim had given him
that morning.
He snapped the rubbers absently.
They held fast. and his next impulse
was entirely irresistible. He found a
shapely stone, fitted it to the leather
and drew back the ancient catapult
for a shot. A sparrow hoped upon
a branch between him and the house,
and he aimed at the sparrow, but the
reflection from the dazzling window
struck in his eyes as he loosed the
leather.
He missed the sparrow, but not the
window. There was a loud crash,
and to his horror he caught a glimpse
OF his father, stricken in midshaying,
ducking a shower Of broken glass,
glittering razor hourishing wildly.
Words crashed with the glass, stem

lossal.

sling in his hand. He could hear his
