ATLANTA, Nov 9.-The admins
tration's note to Great Britain demand
ing that the blockade be taken off

the free list is a triumph for United
States Senator Hoke Smith and the
section which he represents. Senator
Smith, who left Tor Washington to-
day to attend rural credits meeting,
was not surprised at the vigorous tone
of the note, as he knew more than
ten days ago that II had been sent
1t could not be published in the news
papers, however, until it had been re
ceiyed and acknowledged by the Brit
ish department of state.
| Last fall and during the early spring
Senator Smith stood somewhat alone
in his fight for recognition of Ameri-
cas- neutral rights, 1t was he who
made the most notable fight on the
floor of the senate urging strong ac-
ton on the part of the administers
ton. 1t now develops that mis- views
and those of President Wilson at all
times conceded in what the attitude
of this country should be. and that the
long delay in demanding a recogn
, ton of this governments neutra
rights was due not only to any misun
derstanding at Washington but simply
to the fact that the intervening Incl
dents of the Lusitania and the vontro
vcrsy with Germany over submarine
warfare forced the contentious with
Great Britain into the background.
