Denmark'S Re-export
Rights Are Questioned

LONDON, Dec. THE question was
raised in the house Of commons whether
Denmark was permitted to re-export
commodities to belligerent countries un-
der the agreement with the British gov
ernment Of last August. Under this
agreement goods CONSIGNED to members
of the Merchant Guild at Copenhagen
are not held UP in transit.
Lord Robert Cecil, parliamentary un-
der-secretary for foreign AFFAIRS. said
there were insuperable objections to
disclosing the terms OF the agreement.
He stated, however, 1t was perfectly
consistent with the policy of permitting
neutrals to trade while preventing Ger
many from obtaining supplies necessary
for the conduct of war.

Can't Stand Being Ignored

Plant City Courier: Palatka is all
'riled up over the fact that a woman
who represents the socialist propagan-
da came to the city and endeavOred
to deliver an address on the public
street and was ordered to move on
by the police. The News says of the
event: "The affair is most regretable
and is unquestionably due to the ig-
uorance of the law on the part of the
chief of police" The result of the ac-
ton Of the officer fired the indigna-
ton of all the socialists in the place.
and also of all their smypahtizers. and
a very lively indignation meeting was
held. At this meeting a series of res
Iolutions were adopted, and a commit
tee appointed to go before the city
council and seek redress. 1t would
seem that the end of the row is not
yet in sight.-Ex.
The same woman came to Plant
City and spent perhaps a week or ten
days, speaking every night on a prom
inent street corner, but no official cog
nizance was taken of her rayings and
hence she was unable to create more
than a ripple of excitement and her
attempted meetings died fd Dr. lack of
interest. Notoriety seekers and agi-
tators fade away quickest where no
notice is taken of them. I'd be ignor-
ed is more than they can stand.

THE REAL
MURDERER.

Friday afternoon last on the placid
bosom of the broad and beautiful ST.
Johns river near san Mateo: several
men in a boat; also several sealed
packages Of booze; the men got on
the outside of the booze and then the
Devil began to make himself manifest.
One of the men reached PaIatka with
twenty-one knife wounds in his body,
some of which were sIashed deep; he
was sewed up and his life thereby
saved by a local surgeon; next day the
corpse of one Of the men was found
floating in the river with his head
nearly severed from his body; on
Monday still another one Of the origi-
nal boat load Of men was found float

death appears to have resulted from
drowning.
