United States "Unhesitatingb EAs-
sumes" Task Of Championing
Cause Of Neutral Rights.

Washington, D. C. = The United
States in it's latest note to Great Brit
ain made public here Monday, cover
ing exhaustively British interference
with American trade since the begin
ming of the European war, declares
that the so-called blockade instituted
by the allies against enemy countries
on March IL is ineffective, illegal
and indefensible.
Notice is served that the American
government cannot submit to the
curtailment of its neutral rights and it
cannot with complacence suffer further
subordination of its rights and In
terests.'
Ambassador Page, to whom the note
was sent by special messenger for de-
livery to the London Foreign Office,
was instructed by Secretary Lansing
ITO impress most earnestly" upon the
British government that the United
States Unjust insist that the relations
between it and His Majesty's govern
ment be governed, not by a policy of
expediency, but by those established
rules of international conduct to which
Great Britain in the past has held the
United States to account when the lat
ter nation was a belligerent engaged
in struggle for national existence. +"
Declaring the United States "un-
hesitatingly assumes" the task of
championing the integrity of neutral
rights, the note proclaims that the
American government will devote its
energies to the task, exercising al
ways an Impartial attitude.
The note, nearly Is, 900 words long,
was made public by agreement be-
tween the State department and the
British Foreign Office 1t carries with
it voluminous appendix, giving the
text of naval instructions issued in
1862 and 4 summary and table showing
hundreds of vessels detained by British
authorities since the beginning of the
present war.
The body of the note is divided into
35 points, dealing with all phases Of
the contraband question, seizures and
detentions, prior to, as we'll as after
the so-called blockade was instituted
and announces that a separate commun
ication will be sent soon dealing par
ticularly with the "propriety anG
right of the the British government t.
include in their list of contraband Of
war certain articles which have beer
! so included"

wallis = Besides the experience of
caring for pigs and the profit made
from them, pig club members will be
taught proper methods of selection,
feed, managing, combating diseases,
marketing, judging, home butchering,
curing of meats, and 4 study Of the
different breeds Of hogs" said L. J..

Lord Kitchener Goes to Eastern
fed Of War; Daily Globe Seized

London-"Lord Kitchener, at the
request of his colleagues, has left
England for short visit to the east
ern theater of war;"
This announcement, made after a
cabinet council-an unusual meeting
for Saturday-and long audience
which Premier Asquith had with the
king, set at rest rumors current as to
the war secretary's present intentions.
Almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement of Lord Kitchener's pro-
posed visit to the east, the authorities
seized the printing plant Of the Lon
don Globe, together with late issues.
This is the first action of the kind
taken by the authorities since the out
break of the war against q daily paper
in the United Kingdom Some week
ly papers, both in England and Ire
land, including the Labor Leader.
were similarly treated some time ago,
but the Labor Leader, after a secret
trial of the case, was allowed to re-
sumo publication.
The Globe, while one of the Oldest
papers published in the country and
long considered staid and conserva-
tive organ, has latterly lost that char
acter and has been chiefly noted for its
violent attacks on public men during
the administration Of the liberal gov.
ernment- 1t has been one of the gov.
ernment's bitterest opponents and has,
since the war, attacked virtually all Of
the members of the government.

1t poesnt MIX with susInes..

In an interesting but unindexed
book, called How to Deal with HUI
man Nature in Business" written by
Sherwin Cody and published by Funk
& Wagnalls, we read on page 401:
Formerly it was thought that for
sociability a salesman must drink with
his customers. Scientific investiga-
ton has shown that there are far more
customers who do not care for that
kind of sociability than who do. and
now the vast majority of statesmen on
the road make it special point never
to call on a customer with breath
that smells of alcohol. Those who do
not mind it are not repealed by clean
breath. and those who do mind it are
saved from something that disgusts
them"
The last two sentences could be re-
written to advantage. but they state
an important fact: booze and business
do not mix This fact has been seen
and tested by the keenly intelligent
men who want more business. and
they are acting on it-Colliers.

THOUSANDS Of WIS" nARM N
MCAGo'S SUNDAY PROTEST PARADE

ChicaRo-Forty-one thousand three
hundred and eighty-six persons, by
actual count, paraded the streets Of
Chicago Sunday in protest against the
enforcement Of the Sunday closing
Law.
1t had been announced that more
than 100, 900 persons had been pledged
to parade. The day was perfect and
returns indicate that the liquor forces
turned out their extreme strength.
They fell nearly $1,000 short of the
Mckinley prosperity parade, the larg-
est in the city's history, when more
than 80, 900 persons passed the review
ing stand.
There was strict order in the great
parade and also among the more than
three-quarters Of million spectators
lining the line Of march. The city
furnished small force of mounted po-
lice, although this was done grudging-
ly, rs the parade was looked upon by
the officials as anarchistic in its pur-
pose and as 4 public protest against
enforcement of the law. But the
mounted police and patrolmen handled
the situation admirably. There was
little drunkenness, at least before and
during the parade. The managers Of
the demonstration saw explicitly to
that.
After the parade was over, however,
there we're many celebrations At which
the regulations were modified or re-
moved altogether.
The demonstration was overwhelm-
ingiy foreign in its makeup. OF th<
thousands of banners, few were in ths
English language. Banners proclaim
ing the virtues of personal liberty anC
home rule were borne by untersteut
zungvereins and geselschafts and maen
nerchors by the score. The sectioni
were led by former German Austrian
army men, who executed the goose
step as they passed the reviewing
stand There were many cheers fol
the Kaiser, although the promoter,
frowned severely on this part of thu
demonstration
The marchers were grouped b.
races, and many wore the brilliant cos
tunes Of their native lands. Along
side were automobiles and wagon
bearing the women Of the same races
in the gaily-colored gowns OF theil
own lands

Onion Prices to Soar.

The favorable turn of the weather is
welcomed by Oregon and Washington
onion growers, who have no fear now
of the long keeping of their product.
The market at the moment is quiet,
but the prospects for the future could
hardly be brighter. The smallness of
the Eastern crop, which is shown by
official returns, is the cause Of the I'M
DERIVING strength of values and leads
growers to believe that the best prices
in recent years will be realized before
the season is over.
The governments estimate on the
acreage, yield and production of onions
this year gives this seasons acreage
in Ohio as q little over one-third of
that of 1914 with yield of one-fourth
per acre compared with the previous
year. The total Ohio production this
year is estimated about 1888, 900 BUSH
els, compared with over 5000, 900
bushels in 1914. According to the re-
port, all other Middle Western and
Eastern onion producing states have
greatly decreased productions, partic-
ularly Indiana, which has about one
fifth. Massachusetts, New York and
Michigan outputs run from one-half to
three-fourths of last year.
Six of the seven Western and Pa
cific Coast onion states have an in
crease. The productions of onions this
year in the IL important onion-grow-
ing states is estimated at 1891, TOO
bushels, as compared with FL, OLA
bushels in 1914, decrease of 81 per
cent. The states included in this esti-
mate are Massachusetts,, New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, Washing
ton, Oregon and California.

Kioto, Japan = A churchlike hush
enveloped Kioto, the ancient capital of
the empire, when Emperor Yoshohito
and gorgeous cortege made their
stately entry into the city at o'clock
Sunday.
A similar scene never was witnessed
in the Western world.
The emperor and the imperial shrine
were silently worshipped by his sub
jects. The cortege was regarded as a
sacred, mystic and religious process
sion.
Although desire to avoid accident
was controlling factor, one of the
chief reasons for imposing silence up
on the multitude was wish to main
tain reverence for the monarch as he
arrived in the city at sacred coronation
rites.
The Japanese viewpoint found ex-
preston when the master of ceremon-
les said to the Americans and other
foreigners who were assigned to want
age points in the palace grounds
when the shrine and the emperor
pass, please remove your hats and
bow, but do not cheer"

Barley in FURRY.

Portland-The barley market sud
denly developed into the strongest
feature of the grain trade this week.
Bids at the exchange were raised to
the highest points of the season, but
the advance did not tempt holders to
let go. The trade has come to real
ization that barley supplies remaining
in the Northwest are not heavy, and
this has prompted good deal of spec
ulation in the country There is ex-
port demand, for this cereal, but it is
figured that the prices now ruling here
are above export value.
