 ~The short colloquiai talk by Col Stevenson about the importance oi every community which expects to re- ceive proper recognition from great corporate concerns having local commercial body with influence enough behind it to command respect and attention. Is deserving of careful consideration and the unqualified ap- proyal Of everyone who is interested in the advancement of Skagway
 "Col.

 "Col.

 'lt was finally decided as the sense ! 'i the meeting that personal canvass ! 'i the town should be made by 9 com. ni'tee to be selected for that pur lose. to ascertain whether or not har aonious action along the lines out med cannot become a reality"

 England can either show condition al willingness also i recant, or else can declare a genuine blockade.
 There evidently are both avenues to and obstacles to the former result The Allies new embargo. concern Ing which the world Is still awaiting the details of procedure, is in form of a rather elastic and vague affair and seems to contain loopholes 9s tc time. manner, method, etc Moreover in announcing it, Premier AsQuith al SO took pains to state lhat the Ameri can proposals seeking to negotiate the "war zone" difficulty had not as yet been turned down by England.
 The one most probable hitch would be the survival Of the original issues as to the German food imports, m view of the German appropriation de cree; and lt would Aow seem to be less easy than at first to modify the British idea on this point. Moreover England Is now more deeply commit ted to the general "strangulation' program. politically very popular in many British quarters. To yield on such points, and thus make possible the triumph of neutral negotiation seeking to conserve free trade in food to civilians ln both countries might involve far more humiliation than any question concerning the use of flags
 A formal old-fashioned blockade would estop an neutral complaint and possibly be also pecuniarily more expensive to certain neutrals. It would in its military expense be also more costly to the Allies just now, as well as not so effective in complete re- suits.
 Does that difference in the cost and value outweigh the probable loss nor ally on grounds of principle that may follow persistence by the Allies in che new plan and its disregard of "nlce- ties?"
