AMERICAN NOTE CALLS
BRlTAlN'S ACT ILLEGAL
Must Keep Hands Off United
States Trade.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Couched in
more emphatic language than any yet
employed is the American note 70 be
presented to Great Britain this week
protesting against violations of Ameri-
can maritime rights and demanding
that further interference with our
trade shall cease.
The United States declares:
l. That it's sovereign rights have
been invaded by the limitations. risks
and liabilities imposed by Great Brit
ain upon the ships of neutral powers.
2. That the procedure observed by
Great Britain under the various or
ders in council is Illegal
3. That the British blockade. as de-
scribed in the orders in council and
applied Hereunder. is not binding
because it is not effective.
4. That the blockade is ineffective
in that it discriminates between the
trade of neutral nations.
5. That the effect of British opera
lions is to blockade neutral countries.
which, of course, is in violation of in
ternational law.
s. That British practice subjects
neutral ships proceeding to neutral
ports to the same suspicion of guilt
which attaches to neutral ships
bound for ports of enemies of Great
Britain
z. That British practice results in
the seizure of innocent goods export
ed by Germany through neutral ter
ritory to neutral states and exported
by neutral states through neutral ter
ritory to Germany.
s. That British practice in interior
ing with trade between neutral coun-
tries is not only Illegal, but unfairly
conducted.
9. That British practice imposes the
burden of proof of innocence upon
neutral shippers, whereas the burden
of proof of guilt should rest upon the
captor.
10. That the method observed by
British cruisers in taking neutral
ships into port for visit and search
works hardship upon the neutral own
ers and shippers and is not in accord
ance with the requirements of interna
tional law.
II. That the contraband list as ex
banded from time to time by Great
Britain is arbitrary and in violation
of recognized practice.
12 That British Interpretation and
application of the doctrine of continu
GUS voyage is not in accordance with
the Interpretation and application Of
the doctrine by the North during the
Civil war.

Kenosha Plan a Success.

Kenosha.--The quarterly report of

clared that the plan worked admirably,
both in cutting the pauper bills and
making the dependents self-supporting.

ANOTHER LETTER ON THE sMoK
ING RULE. d.

Honolulu, H. T., Mar. II, 1915
Editor Honolulu Star. Bulletin
Sir: 1t seems to me that the atti.
tude of the Rapid Transit Co. in pro.
hibiting smoking on their ears Is
wrong. IS .,sa.5 ....zt.
In the early morning the majority of
the passengers are mem and most of
them are men who smoke. Many of
them are people who work long hours
each day; they have hurried. from their
breakfast to catch the Cd. % work On
the ride to work is their only chance
to smoke, for when they arrive at work
they are not permitted to do so.
In my mind the strongest reason Of
all against q rule of this kind is that
. company can say to Ifs : employees,
!. You must. enforce this rule or be
fred. !" This means thattifa passen.
ger refuses to stop smoking when re-
quested to do so by the conductor he
must be put off the car. In other
words, the carmen must enforce this
rule under penalty of losing theif
jobs, regardless of the fact that in 50
doing they are dealing with a public
which they cannot always control.
In most cities on the mainland the
street ear companies permit smoking in
some part Of their ears. Where this
is the rule there is no complaint of an
noyance on the part of the non.snok-
ing public.
In Honolulu, where we have open
cars the year around, I cannot see how
any one can be annoyed when the
smoking is done in the rear of the
ears. .l...s
1t seems to me it is case of tho
company arbitrarily enforcing a rule
merely because they have the power to
do it. The only way for the smoking
public to show its disapproval will be
to hope for jitney service and then
patronize them to the exclusion of the
street ears. 81

As to the pure, clean cars he speaks
Of, that seems to me TO be filfcu'
lous. In the first place when car

platform naturally goes out the rear
windows and could not foul the In

In the second place when smoker
is through with his cigarette or cigar
he invariably throws Ii our OF the
