Of outgoing cargees by British con-
sular officers and by treasury agents
it felt it had a right to expect that
ships thus laden would be permitted
to proceed without interference.
1t is believed that in the prelimin-
airy note Great Britain has recognized
the reasonableness Of the protest and
has promised to reduce the annoyance
to the minimum, particularly because
it has practically completed arrange
ments with the neutral states Of Eu-
rope which will prevent American sup
plies from getting through to Germany
and Austria
Although Great Britain could not in
terms charge any Of the neutral ma
tons with falling to execute their en-
bargoes, it was understood here the
British government believed that some
of the smaller European states, for
obvious reasons, had been lax and that
American copper and food had been
going into Germany. Now, however
it is believed that the British govern
nent has succeeded in making satis-
factory arrangements with those coun-
tries and consequently it is understood
the note will clearly indicate dispo-
gition to be more tolerant in the treat
ment of America cargoes though no
pledge of absolute surrender of tht
right of search is made.

in which 1t performs it's duty to itself.
Il have always thought with regard
to individuals that II man was true
to himself ne wcuId then he true to
other persons. and believe that that
applies 70 a greaL country like ours,
that a nation that is habitually true
to its own exalted principles OF ac-

Of mankind when the opportunity Of

of life which IL is very thoroughly
worth while living up to. We have a
great many things to do in this coun-

GETTING READY FOR
OPENING OF CANAL
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Jan. s.--Administration
officials Were proceeding today with
plans for the celebration incident to
the formal opening of the Panama
canal next March, virtually certain
that funds necessary therefor would
be forthcoming from congress.
Assurance to that effect practically
had been given to President Wilson
by democratic and republican con-
gressiona1 leaders to whom Mr. VIII
son outlined tentative plans for the
celebration, calling for an estimated
appropriation of $250, 200.
It was agreed that despite the pos
sibiIity that the naval parade through
the canal cannot take place, as sug-
gested by Col. Goethais, preparations
should be pressed without regard to
such a contingency.
