NOTES NOT SATISFACTORY
UNITED STATES WILL SEEK FUR
Their INFORMATION AND ALSO
LODGE PROTEST.
Allies Cannot Interrupt Shipments Be-
tween United States and Neutral
Countries.

Washington. The United States
considers that Great Britain and
France in the British Order-in-Council
and accompanying notes have not
answered questions propounded to
them as to what warrant there is I'm.
der international law for the establish
ment of an embargo on all commercial
intercourse, directly and indirectly be-
tween Germany and neutral countries.
1t was stated officially at the State
Department that this government still
does not know whether the action OF
the Allies is intended as legal block
ade or whether rules of contraband
and non-contraband are to be their le-
gal basis for future detentions. On a
determination of this question prob
ably will depend not only the nature
of any steps to be taken by the Unit
ed States now, but also the basis for
damage claims arising out of inter
ruptiOn to American commerce.
In preparing the protest to be sent
to Great Britain and France the posi-
ton of the United States substantially
is as follows:
1. If the action of the Allies is a
blockade, all commerce directly with
Germany can be halted by making the
blockade effective, a certain radius
of activity" being allowed for the
blockading warships off the German
coast because of the newly developed
activities of submarines. But there
can be no legal blockade of the coast
of neutral countries of Europe con-
tigious to those at war, under any
circumstances and commerce between
the United States and neutrals espe-
cially in non-contraband, should be
free from interruption, irrespective of
ultimate destination.
2 If the action is not a blockade
then there exists no legal right to de-
tain cotton or other non-contraband
cargoes even when consigned directly
to German ports. Nor can foodstuffs
or conditional contraband be justly in
terrupted unless proven though con-
signed to Germany, to be destined for
the use of it's belligerent forces and
not it's civilian population. Under the
same circumstances too, there is no
legal basis for OBTAINING cargoes con-
signed from the United States to the
neutral countries of Europe If con-
tanning cotton or non-contraband
goods.

Force German Steamer to Return.

San Juan. P. R.-The German mer-
chant steamer Oldenwald attempted
to leave port without obtaining clear
ance papers but was stopped as she
was passing out the harbor entrance by
inch gun, and direct shots from a
maxim. She then returned and was
taken in charge by the collector of
customs. Permission to sail was re-
fused the Odenwald by the collector
pending instructions from Washing
ton.

EXPECT BIG CLASH SOON.
Germans and BeIgians Face Each
Other on River User.

1ermanS ana BeI9lanS race Each
Other on River User.
London.-The next important bat
tie in the West, it is believed, will
take place along the River User, held
on one side by the recently reorgan-
lied Belgian army, and on the other
by Germans.
AS the floods have subsidized the
Belgians, supported by the Allies war
ships, have pushed their line slightly
forward, and this is almost certain to
lead to couunter-attacks by the Ger
mans and then a general engagement
as when similar movements were mi
tiated elsewhere along the front. An
artillery duel already has commenced.
The contest for the spur of Notre
Dame de Lorette is still in progress,
and, according to Berlin, further at
tempts of the French to advance in
Champagne, where they captured an
important ridge north of LIE MesniI.
have been repulsed. Fighting in the
Argonne forest and the Vosges has
slackened somewhat owing doubtless
to the cold weather.
There may be a slight delay while
the Germans are awaiting reinforce
ments for they have been using most
of their reserves to counter-attack the
Chappelle and the French north of
Arras, but that a big clash will soon
come nobody doubts.

ZeppeIins Raid Paris

Paris.-Zeppeln airships raided
Paris and dropped a dozen bombs, but
the damage done was unimportant.
Seven Or eight persons were injured
but only one seriously. Four of the
aircraft started for the capital fol-
lowing the valley of the Aise, but
only two reached their goal. Missiles
also were dropped at Compiegne. Ribe-
court and Dreslincourt,, but without
serious result. Paris remained calm
while the aerial raid was in progress
and residents of the city exhibited
more curiosity than fear.

PRzEMYSL IS TAKEN
ALLIES CELEBRATE
RESlEGED FOR MONTHS EAST
ERN FORT cAPITULATEs TO
INVADING ARMY.
Much Enthusiasm In Petrograd, Lon
don and Paris Over Victory Re-
garded as Most Important.

London-The long investment OF
has ended Depleted by disease, sub
sisting on horse flesh and surrounded
by a superior force of Russians, the
garrison has surrendered to the be-
sieging army after a defense lasting
many months, which up to the present
is recorded as Austria's mos: note
worthy contribution to the war.
Petrograd, London and Paris are
celebrating the event-Petrograd and
Paris in the spontaneous manner char
acteristic of those cities-London with
silent and grim satisfaction, which is
the British way.
The newspapers assert that the
fall of the fortress marks the most
important capture of the war, not
ecepting Antwerp, in that it not only
releases considerable Russian forces
which can be thrown into the fuctuat-
ing Struggle in the Carpathians, but
opens the door to Cracow and the
plains of Hungary.
1t is argued, too, that the moral
effect of the surrender will be ire
stimulate feeling in their favor both
in Roumania and Bulgaria just as the
operations in the Dardane1les are
causing an agitation in Greece and
Italy.
The Italian situation is receiving
attention, although rumors, rather
than facts, seem to be the basis of
most of the news dispatched. The
Italian Embassy at London had no
confirmation of the report that freight
traffic between Italy and Germany by
way of Switzerland had been stopped,
nor was there confirmation of the re-
ported massing of Austrian and Ger
man troops along the Austrian literal,
or the assembling of artillery at
Triest
Przemysl fell with honor, the Brit
ish press comedies, for it wlthstood
the onslaughts longer than any place
during the war. the investment hav-
ing begun about September 16, some
thing more than six months ago. The
duration of the siege compared with
the length of time it took the Ger
mans to capture such strongholds as
L6g0 ,Namur anu antwerp, was uuo
to two causes, one being the desire
of the Russians to keep the loss of
life among the besieging army at
minimum, the other to the lack OF
great guns, which the Germans had
in Belgium. The investment was not
a close one, the garrison having had
up until recently a radius of about
IL miles in which to move about,
and some dispatches told of shooting
expeditions INDUCED in by the officers
of the garrison.
Nothing of great Importance has
been recorded in the west. In the
east, aside from the fall of Przemycl
the situation around the German port
of Memel is the most interesting.
From this town the Germans main
tain they have driven the Russians,
while a controversy is being waged by
the press of the two countries as to
the merits of the Russian contention
that civilians fired on them in this
latest incursion in East Prussia-an
act which demanded reprisalS.

Two American Vessels Stopped.

here were stopped by shots over their
bows fired by the dispatch boat Dol
phin, stationed in the harbor to
guard American neutrality. Both
ships were later allowed to proceed.
The American steamer Santa Clara
was halted by shot when she failed
to stop at signals. The American
steamed Newton was stopped because
she failed to display signals despite
whistle warnings by the Dolphin. Neu-
trality officers ordered Captain Abbott
to hoist his signals.

issued recently, deals with the ex- pense of operating grocery stores. An earlier bulletin dealt with the re- tailing of shoes. While the merchant cannot make a success of his business unless he has liking for it and unless he has learned it by practical experi- ence, he has often been seriously handicapped because of his lack of a knowledge of scientific accounting. It is this phase of business with which Harvard is now concerning itself.
 The retailer is not only a great factor in every community, but he is usually valued representative of the community's civic and social life. He is often progressive, too. In large and bustling cities only the progressive merchant can hold his own. And the more progressive he is and the more eager he is to succeed the more readily he will become interested in the bulletins setting forth the findings of the bureau of business research.

Jackson Highway Meeting

The importance of the mass meeting of the citizens of Alabama interested in the location of the Jackson highway route, to be held in Birmingham De- sember 16, cannot be overstated. The meeting is called by l.. c. Irvine and w. T. Sanders, the two executive com- mitteemen for this state. Probate judges and commissioners of each county through which the proposed Jackson route lies, are particularly urged to attend.
 The committee is right in saying that if the people bestir themselves and accomplish what we can easily accomplish before the next inspection trip of the pathfinders in October, 1916, there would seem to be no req sonable doubt as to the selection of the Alabama route" A united effort will be absolutely necessary to bring about the desired results.
 Jefferson county will be ready for the pathfinders several months ahead of time. The splendid macadam road now being extended to the Blount county line-or rather three roads from which to choose-will be con- pleted before midsummer. The other counties with links of unimproved roads should lose no time in prosecut- ing the work.
 It will not do to assume that the Alabama line will be designated as the official route. Advocates of the Mississippi route have been busy or ganizing campaign since the Jack son Highway associations board of directors decided two weeks ago to defer action until next October. Mis- sissippi has some fine roads, but it also has many miles of bad roads. If Mississippi puts the entire mileage of it's proposed route in first class con- dition that state will win in the con- test, unless Alabama has roads equal ly as good.
 At any rate Alabama should take no chances. We need the roads and the Jackson Highway association needs Alabama. But the question of route will be decided on it's merits. Road conditions will determine.

Bureau of Business Research

Harvard reports large enrolment in it's graduate school of business ad- ministration.
 In the years past colleges and uni versailles confined their courses to his tory, philosophy, political economy, language, mathematics, chemistry and few other sciences.
 Later on were added departments of technical training which included all branches of engineering. Without giv- Ing up the 'humanities" the old cul- lure was no longer Alpha and Omega.
 The rapid development of industrial activities so enlarged the demand for men technically equipped that insti- tutions were not able to supply all that were needed, and today there is scarcely high school or college in this country that does not include vo- eational work in it's system.
 This IS a practical age and very large percentage of students give much of their time during instruction hours to studies of technical nature The laboratory is indispensable ana the results os the modern system are proving highly beneficial from every point of view. And since efficiency has become the everyday slogan the retail store is being put on scientific basis and business research made a part of university endeavor.

A RIGHT TO BE DEAD

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 l expect to return to the front to take up my command again in six weeks for in these days one has a right to be dead but not ill.-Gen. Jean Marchand in a private letter.
 The French have always had the power of putting into immortal phrases some of the noblest emotions. Also. from Roche foucauld to Porto Riche, they have never lacked ability to express some of the meanest and foulest inclinations of the human spirit. They have had the ines timable advantage of periodical purifca- tion by fire, and now. in the midst of such trial, the flaming phrase has leapt to their lips.
 Note with what precision, with what economy the whole argument of patriot ism is stated It is privilege to be a stacker. It is a divine right to die for your country. General Marchand will be remembered in history for his part in the incident of Fashoda. He will be re- membered in the hearts of France be- cause he said what all France believes.
