IGNORES BRITISH THREAT
Owner Of Steamer Dacia to Sail YES
sci When Cotton Cargo Is
Completed.

Representatives Of the owner Of the
steamer Dacia, now loading cotton at
Port Arthur. Tex, for Rotterdam or
Bremen. have informed the State De-
partment that as soon as loaded the
steamer win proceed on her voyage, re-
gardless Of the decision Of the British
government to seize her.
1t was said at the department today
that Ambassador Pages statement that
the British government had declined to
sanction the Dacia's voyage was re-
garded as final. though no formal or
official communication from the British
government to that effect had SO TAR
been received.
No Action by Department.
The department has no present inten-
ton of taking any further action in the
case or making additional representa-
tions to the British government on the
subject at this stage. If the Dacia
proceeds, and is seized and brought be-
fore a prize court, 1t is probable that
in view Of the novelty and Importance
of the issues involved the department
will instruct the American ambassador
in London to have the United States
government legally represented before
the court, If that IS permitted by the
rules; otherwise, to keep the State De-
partment closely informed of the case

SEAWEED MAY RELIEVE
POTASH FAMINE In u. S.
Department Of Commerce Shows Pos
sibility Of Getting Supply
From Central Atlantic.

Possibilities for relieving the potash
famine which the country now is facing
lie in the seaweed in the central Allan
tic. according to a report from Com
mercfal Agent Thomas H. Norton of
the Department of Commerce. The
shortage has assumed most serious di-
mensions, say those charged with look
ing for means of increasing the sup
ply. although there seems to be a pos
sibility that the supply from Pacific
dried kelp will be increased in the near
future. The ordinary commercial
chloride of potash is now quoted at
$500 ton, while the rate in July, 1914,
just before the war started, was but
s3S ton.
Vast amounts of the seaweed are
thrown upon the coasts of the Bahia
mas. according to the report, and in
one harbor the accumulations of hun
dreds of thousands of tons render navi-
cation at times almost impossible. The
dried kelp obtained from this seaweed
Is said to contain 9 per cent of potash
1t is suggested that efforts should be
made on a large scale to exploit this
potash source, concessions for the
working of which on the islands might
be obtained. although the work could
be carried on directly in the Atlantic.
The difficulty of obtaining potash at
any price is now SO marked, it is point
ed out. that it might possibly be we'll
to consider the question Of undertaking
an exploitation of the Saragossa weed.

There are a few tattered cottages at

that ties the present to those ante

A Stretcher Hammock.

A stretcher hammock and chair for
carrying wounded soldiers from the
battle field has lately been patented by
Countess Chaumont of France, who is
serving as a Red Cross nurse. Trench
warfare makes the removal of the
wounded a difficult problem which her
invention is helping to solve. The
stretcher hammock consists of strip
of canvas attached to handles seven
and one-half feet long. A pocket in
the canvas contains board three and
one-half feet long, which may be slip
ped backward or forward to the place
of injury and securely laced into po-
position. This protects the injury from
jar during removal. while the ham
mock may be shifted into all the angles
necessary in making a short turn.
The hammock chair is intended for
patients wounded in limb who have to
be carefully handled, but need not be
kept in a reclining position. 1t has
handles four feet long and permits the
patient to be carried in a sitting po-
sition.
