BRITISH DECREE
GRAIN CARGOESTO
Be C0iTnA8AND

Washington, Feb. 2.--Ambassado
Page at London cabled the state de I
partment to-day that the British flee
had been ordered to treat cargoes o
grain and flour destined for German
or Austria as conditional contrabant
subject to seizure and confscatior
This step, the ambassador explained
followed the announcement that tn
German government had decreed con
fiscation Of all grain and flour to con
serve the nations food supply.
Since the publication of the Germa
order the ambassador here, Count Vo
Bernstorff, has virtually assured tn
American government that no food
stuffs. imported from the United State
or other neutral countries would
subject to seizure and press despatcht
have announced the issuance of a mod
tying decree making such exemption
by the German government.
Ambassador Page said the British goj
eminent had informed him that Decaus
the steamship Wilhelmina, now bour
from New York for Hamburg with graz
and other food had sailed before the
suance of the German decree, an exec
tion would be made in her case II |
vessel would be seized, it was said bI
she would he released and her card
purchased a invoice price by tho Bri
ish government. Warning was give
however that other shipments hereaft
of l!ke character, when destined T
Germany directly or indirectly wou
be seized. as VOL as the vessels carr
ing them, without compensation bei1
paid
This announcement put an entirely ne
complexion on the negotiations that ha
been in progress internationally since t
beginning Of the war in regard to
right OF neutral States to ship food su
plies to bellgerent countries. In the Br
ish note TO Secretary Bryan regardi
the Dacia, it was stated that the concl
sion had not been reached to interfe
with such shipments provided they we
intended for the non-combatant elemer
of the population and not for the arr
, or government Of the beligerent sta
with which England was at war. 1t w
intimated then however that the exec
tional condition of the present war mig
warrant some such action as an act
retaliation.
| The state department has not decio
what shall be done In the matter and
carefully considering the whole subje
AS a preliminary step it has advised
W. l.. Greene Commission company
St Louis. owners of the Wilhelmin
cargo Of the determination of the Brit
government to appropriate the cargo
pay for it. Ambassador Page has I'D
asked for further information on the
! eral subject.

ACTOR THINKS He
HAS FOUND LONG
Lost RELATIVE

Rutland, Feb. 2-Deserted on rail-
road train in England some 81 years ago
by parents whose identity he has never
known, and having never heard from any
OF his relatives since. William Littler of
North Main street believes that he Is at
last to establish his relationship with GER
tain persons in England, owing to the fact
that little daughter of two vaudeville
actors who took their meals for a few
days in the Allen restaurant, where Ny
Lituer gets his dinners, happened to tell
her name to some person in the restau-
rant who was attracted by the child's
cute appearance.
George Bland and Enid Marsh, as they
are known to the vaudeville world, played
a Tho Grand last week. When they were
IN the restaurant one day their child told
one of tn" attaches that her name was
Littcr and the parents were informed
that a man named Iittlcr had taken meals
AT the place for 10 years The actors eX
prcFs- 4 q desire to meet the Rutland man
h'"0reo the name is an uncommon one
t.' th' meeting was arranged.
II Developed that BLAND and Marsh"
aa They auooar on the bill posters, are
r,"''y Mr. md Mrs Litter of Coventry,
England. and there Is considerable of a
fImilv resemblance between Littler, the
actor. ana I.itter, the Rutland man, who
iT ~ lour time employee Of the Howe Scale
company Roth were much surprised to
learn that their names were the same,
each discovered that the other was a na-
tive Of England.
The actor has knowledge that n william
Gittlcr who was a son of his uncle, dis
Appeared whcr a child many years ago,
and eXtC sve advertising and other meth
DDS OF search have failed to reveal his
ddent that h has found the lost Litter
and correspondence Is to be opened at
once to ascertain the facts I'm the case
! OF his early history Mr.. Littler of Thu
city knows very little. When he was
about two and a half wears old just
able to tell his name and that was about
ALL he was left on a train Just as it was
about to leave a station in England.
The train had Travelled some distance
| before the fact that the baby was I'M
attended was discovered and it was then
/ impossible to determin" who had left
the little boy on the train. He was
taken off at St Eustach and was placed
i'm an orphan asylum and at the age
of eight years was transferred to a chill
drcn's home in Canada by Mrs. Louea
Brit, who was at the head of an English
home for destitute children He was
soon adopted by a Canadian family
named Vaudry, remaining with them IL
years Since that time he has shifted
| for himself.

DAINTY CHARMINCi E.xOUISITEi

The Union stockyards at Chicago are
still Guaranteed, but this does not pre-
vent the local packing houses from
securing a full quota of hogs, as shown
by the statistics OF the kill given below
That outside markets have been able to
furnish plenty of hogs is given by The
fact that the local kill for the week was
1900 hogs against 5000 for the proceed
ing week and 1000 for the same week
last year, Since January l, 1915, total
kill by Boston packers has been l67,5I0
hogs. against 1850 for the same period
in 1914.
Exports OF pork products hold up we'll,
the totals for each week varying accord
ing to the number of steamer sailings.

ton packers was valued at SlS,0D
against $4,000 for the preceding week
and sos, 100 for the same week last year
Since January /, 1916, the total exports
by the Boston packers have been valued
