regarded here as misleading. II waS
pointed out that in view OF the breaking

with Germany and Austria many non
contraband products have been shipped
through neutral countries. Similarly the
neutral countries which previously had
obtained much OF their supplies from be
igerents were now importing from the

TO Italy il was pointed out that the ltai-
ian ambassador has already explained
that Italy, which had previously obtained
copper from Germany and Austria for

of the embargo on expectation which tAv
bellIgerents themselves had imposed. tn

Pleasing Admission

The admission Of Great Britain that
as to foodstuffs and conditional con-
ira band Lord Sallsbury's doctrine.
quoted IN the American note would be
followed IN practice by the British,
fooustufts, being held up only when
destined to an enemy force. also Was
pleasing TO American officials. There
is every reason to believe that the
United States Will not accept the vieW
Of Great Britain that cargoes must be
taken into port for extended eIanil-a-
ton. II was not the loss already SUI
fereG 10y American commerce Which
brought forth the American note, bu-
the desire TO prevent commerce IN
the future from being mlstreatad. The

effect which the detentions ALREADY
made had had on shippers, who hest
tated 10 export cargoes on account OF
the hazards involved.

would have been the case if the former
practice had continued.
Pending a more detailed reply, l
would conclude by saying that His
Majesty's government do not desire to
contest the general principles of law
on which they understand the note Of
the United States to be based and

Washington Attitude

While they are generally reserved in
their comment. il may be stated authori-
tatively that high officials of the United
States government regard the tone Of the
note as entirely friendly and believe,
moreover. that the discussion which viii
follow will be carried on in the same
vein with a desire on the part OF both
countries 10 reach q satisfactory under
standing.
The admission by Great Britain by one
OF the chief points in the American note
that the relations between neutra.s Were
those of normal times OF peace and no.
OF war was gratifying TO officials who
believed that the controversy would nov
resolve itself into a frank discussion o.

Novel Argument

Officials regarded as novel the argu-
ment Of Great Britain that II cou.t
not give unlimited adherence to the
rules with respect to conditional con-
traband destined for belngerent coun-
tries because Britain's enemies had
departed from hitherto accepted
rules of civilization and humanity"
II was suggested that American
commerce should not be forced 10
suffer because of circumstances over
which this government or the Ameri-
can people would have no possible con-
troll.
AS g whole the note Of the British
government was regarded as sutti-
cient, though the state department vii!

Something About What It
Costs to Run a City the
Size Of Canon Git Colorado

As shown the other day in story
about what It costs to run the schools
Of Canon City. the total tax levy for
purposes in Canon City. proper, is
25.3 mills. Or on every $1,000 In
property you are assessed for, you
ray $3.50 in taxes.
This is divided up as follows: For
the State. all purposes. s1-39; for the
county. ss.s1; for school district No
/. $500 and for the City of Canon
City 5000 So a little over one-third
of your taxes go to keep up the city.
The total valuation of property in
the city is $4.i5o,S36.
So every time one mill is added to
the levy it brings in about $4.15G.
And every time additional improve
ments or expenses are contracted,
amounting to about $4,000 1t win add
che mill to your tax levy. And every
mill added to your taxes costs each
taxpayer just 800 on every $1,000
Of property.
Get that In your mind and you viii
understand easily about all this mill
business. Many people get little con-
