NAVAL STORES ON
CONTRABAND LIST

Washington, D. c., Jan. g.
Governors of several southern
states and naval stores exporters
were notified today by the state
department that the British gov
eminent had been called upon to
reconcile it's statement made in
November that turpentine and
rosin were not regarded as con-
traband. with it's recent action
of contrary effect.
The new order, it was explain
ed by the state departments, has
been made by Great Britain be-
cause it discovered it's opponents
were coating their bombs with
rosin to protect them from damp
ness. The turpentine was being
added to some shells to cause a
dense smoke at explosion.
Great Britain has not yet re-
sponded to the request of the de-
partment which also asked for
an explicit statement as to wheth-
err the last order applied only to
crude rosin or to its manufacture
ed products.
