Trouble,

There's trouble for the most discreet;
There's trouble for the fool;
There's trouble in the burning street
And in the swimming pool.
There's trouble for the nihilist
AS well as for the king:
There's woe to Ill an endless list,
But here's the woe sing:
I sing the pain Of reading through
A rime Of little sense:
A theme which in q line or two
The poet could condensc.

UNCLE SAM TO JOHN BULL.
Protests against European Block
ade as IndefenSible.

The United States, in its latest
note to Great Britain, made public
at Washington Sunday. covering ex-
haustively British interference with
American trade since the beginning
of the European war, declares that
the so-called blockade instituted by
the Allies against enemy countries
March II is ineffective, illegal and
indefensible."
Notice is served that the American
Government cannot submit to the
curtailment of its neutral rights, y
and it cannot with complacence
suffer further subordination of its
rights and interests
Ambassador Page, by whom the
note was sent by special messenger
for delivery to the London foreign
office, was instructed by Secretary
Lansing to impress most earnestly
upon the British Government that
the United States must insist that
the relations between it and his Maj
esty's Government be governed, not
by policy of expediency, but by
those established rules of interna-
tonal conduct to which Great Brit
ain in the past has held the United
States to account when the latter
nation was belligerent engaged in
struggle for national existence. y
Declaring the United States un-
hesltatingly assumes" the task OF
championing the integrity of neutral
rights, the note proclaims that the
American Government will devote
it's energies to the task, exercising
always an impartial attitude.
The note, nearly $1,000 words in
length, was made public by agree
ment between the State department
and the British foreign office. 1t
carries with it a voluminous appen-
dix, giving the text of American
Naval instructions issued IN 1907,
and summary and table showing
hundreds of vessels detained by Brit
ish authorities since the beginning
of the present war.
The body of the note is divided
into thirty-fve points. dealing with
all phases of the contraband ques'
tion, seizures and detentions, prior
to, as we'll as after, the so-called
blockade was instituted, and an
nounces that a separate communica-
ton will be sent soon dealing par
ticularly with the "propriety and
right of the British Government to
include in their list of contraband of
war certain articles which have been
so included"
