American Friendship

Manchester Eng. No. S, lois "A. NJ
The American note to Great Brit
ain is polite but hard in substance, in
the opinion of the Guardian, which
says:
We must not let pre-cccupations
prevent us from trying to understand
the United states viewpoint. Although
we shall be unable to concede its con-
tentions much will depend upon the
spirit in which it is dealt with omclal-
~, privately and publicly. Let none
forget that the cordial friendship OF
the United States will not be luxury
but a necessity of British policy when
the war is over"
Pointing out that the rules for
blockades were made before railroads
were built and that lawyers and dlp-
lomats always have forgotten the
railroads when revising the rules, the
, Guardian contends that railroads have
made Holland, Denmark and Norway
a part of Germany and that If there
were no interference with the transit
of goods through these neutral coun-
tries then Germany could not be
blockaded.
In effect" the Guardian continues,
| "the American argument, if they were
accepted as they stand, would abolish
| the commercial blockade Of any con-
tinental power. Only islands which
have no neutral side doors could be
blockaded commercially.
One Viewpoint
| Does the United States question the
right of interference with German
trade imported through neutral ports
| If the answer is yes, then our answer
must be one of resistance TO view OF
law which would work out very un-
| Justly to US as an island country and
which America did not recognize when
she was at war The only concession
we could make on principle would be
to agree to discuss the who1 question
with the United States at the end OF
the war when the time came to re-
write the entire law of naval cap
ture.
If. on the other hand, the United
States does not assert this principe
then the matter between US is one
! rather of detail than of principle. II
| seems as vital now as in March that
we should right ourselves in legal
form by declaring a blockade of Ger
many and announcing our intention to
interpret that blockade on the prin-
ciple of the ultimate destination OF
cargo. for which there is good author
| ity in international practice"

London, Nov. s.-u2S P. M.).-Notwith-
standing the forecasts Of the American
note to Great Britain which had been
sent from Washington by correspondents
of the British press, surprise is the pre-
dominant tone of the majority of the
British newspapers in their comment on
the document. The country has been too
deeply wrapped in the consideration Of
pressing European problems in the past
few weeks to give much attention to
American opinion, and apparently it was
not aware that the treatment of Ameri-
can shipping might furnish ground for
a serious controversy between the two
governments.
A Trivial Matter

Mall Gazette. will be read with some
surprise in this country. While the duty

the United States scarcely grapples with
the realities of the situation created IN
the first place by the fact OF war; and

The Letter Of the Law
The Gazette says that the British gov
eminent has shown a desire to reduce
inconvenience to neutral trade to min
imur,, but that it is notorious that the
methods of concealment which it de-
clares have been adopted by American
shippers exhibit a variety and ingenuity
demanding the most thorough counter
check. 1t contends that the spirit of in
ternational law is superior to the letter.
ITO resign any portion OF our ability
to strangle the commerce OF a pirate en-
emy would be reasonable alike to our
allies and TO the blood and sacrifice OF
our own citizens" it says.

German Wedding Superstition.

In some parts of Germany the duties of the bridesmaids are tinged with superstition. It is one of their duties on the morning of the marriage day to carry to the bride a myrtle wreath. for which they had subscribed on the previous evening. This they place on her head, and al night remove it. when it is placed in the brides hand, she being at the time blindfolded The bridesmaids then dance round her, while she endeavors to place the wreath on one of their heads, Who ever is fortunate enough to be thus decorated will, it is believed. be a wife before another year has passed In removing the bridal wreath and veil the bridesmaids are careful to throw away every pin. or the bride will be overtaken by misfortune, while any unwary bridesmaid who retains one will lessen her chances of marriage.

SETTING OUT ROSE BUSHES
Points to Be Remembered by Those Who Are Fond of the Fragrant
 Flower.

All roses are heavy feeders and re- quire rich. moist soil clay soil, if well enriched and having perfect drainage, is ideal. Pruning should be carefully done. preferably in the spring. All weak growth should be cut out and the balance well cut back. The flowers of almost all roses being borne on the new wood, the bushes should be cut back half or more of their growth.
 In the majority of cases, roses on their owns roots will prove more satis- factory than budded stock. On own rooted stock, the suckers or shoots from below the surface of the soil will be of the same kind. whereas with budded roses there is danger of the stock starting into growth and not being discovered. and finally killing out the weaker growth. Still. If the plants are set deep enough to pre- vent adventitious buds of the stock from starting. there is no question that finer roses may be grown than from plants on their own roots.
 In setting out the rooted bushes. do not crowd the roots into small space. but have the roots well spread out and the ground well frmed around them.

This she was able to do because of the jam of the traffic which retarded the car. Her efforts attracted attention on both sides of the street. and hurrying shop-hands stopped to cheer her on. At Houston street, where she came panting up to the side of the car. she gasped to the conductor that she had left her pock- etbook on the seat, and wanted to get it.
