U. S. PLEA IS REJECTED
ORDER IN COUNCIL OF ENGLAND
DOES NOT CONTAIN WORD
BLOCKADE"
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The British foreign
office delivered Monday to United
states Ambassador Page in London
Its reply to the American note propos-
Ing to Great Britain and Germany the
withdrawal of the German submarine
blockade provided England would per-
NIT food to reach German civilians,
according to London dispatches.
Great Britain's reply is an absolute
refusal.
The British foreign office also de-
livered to the American ambassador
Great Britain's reply to the American
note in7uiring for further information
In regard to the measures to be taken
by the allied powers to cut off trade
to and from Germany. The reply to
this note is based largely upon the Or
der in the council which was issued
Monday.
Great Britain's refusal to accept the
American proposals to this country
and Germany is due to the reasons
outlined several days ago.
The text of the British order in
council, shutting off German trade,
was received with the keenest inter-
est by officials of the State Depart
ment and, while it has not been de-
cided as yet whether formal pro-
test will be made by the United States
government against the order 1t Is
reasonably certain that efforts will be
made to obtain a construction of its
terms which will minimize injury to
American commerce.
Officials were particularly keen to
learn whether formal blockade Of
German ports was contemplated.
Since the order does not contain the
word BLOCKADE" officials are in doubt
as to the legal status of the British
plan. evs4's'-r--~s'"-',,--~s
The order apparently causes the
complete exclusion from American
commerce of all goods of German orr
gin, and this is viewed by American
officials as probably the most immedi-
ate important provision of the order.
American Industries, such as textile
mills, which are dependent upon Ger
man-made dye-stuffs. will be seriously
affected If some relaxation of the or
der cannot be obtained by diplomatic
correspondence.
II British manufacturers are per
mitted to receive these or similar
German products, as essentials to
their business as they are to Ameri-
can mills, it is certain that emphatic
protest against such discrimination
will be made by the State Depart
ment.
1t is probable note of inquiry will
be directed by the State Department
to the British foreign office to get a
more exact definition of the extent OF
the interference with American com
merce.
AS the order makes no mention OF
Germany's allies there Is no specific
restriction on American trade with
Austria or Turkey by way of neutral
countries.

Question on Grapefruit.

Q. VIII you kindly tell me how t.
best prepare grapefruit, as have recent
ly been told that to prepare with sugar
and let stand over night makes grape
fruit poisonous. Can one eat too much
of this fruit? Mrs. b. c. B.
A. Grapefruit is of great Importance
on account of the organic acids and va
rious soluble mineral salts which it con-
veys to the system in form readily
assimilated. Grapefruit may be served
either with or without sugar, according
to individual taste. 1t is not true that
it becomes poisonous when allowed to
stand with sugar Ii does, however, ac-
quire fiat flayor-the snap and zest
having in large part disappeared.
A delightful way of serving this excel
lent fruit is to divide, remove seeds and
core in the usual way; add one spoonful
of pure strained honey with few
chopped nuts. A little grape juice also
makes pleasant combination. Ger
tainly one may oyereat of this fruit, as
well as he might of any other wholesome
food.

Asquith Himself and Grey
to Remain in Coali-
ton Ministry
NOTHING DEFINITELY
ARRANGED AS. YET
No Change of Any Kind in
the Policy of the
Country

London, May 20-Premier Asquith an
nounced in the House OF Commons yes.
terday that steps were in contemplation
which involved reconstruction of the
government upon a broader personal and
political basis,
Nothing has been definitely arranged
as yet" the premier said but in order
to avoid any misrepresentation ] wish to
make clear here and now three things:
First, any changes will not affect the
position of the prime minister or of the
| foreign secretary.
| Second there will be no change of
any kind in the policy of the country
as regards the continued prosecution of
the war with all possible energy and by
means of every available resource, and,
third and last, and of great Importance
to the honorable friends behind me and
| have no doubt to the opposition, is
this: ANY reconstruction of the cabinet
that may be made viii be for the pur-
poses of the war alone, and is not to be
taken in any quarter or for any reason
as indicating anything in the nature of
a surrender or compromise on the part
of any person, or body of persons, of
their several political ideals.
This is as far as / can go. Nothing
definite has yet taken place, but if any
arrangement is made the house will have
the fullest opportunity of expressing its
views"
Outside of Downing street and a few
leaders of political parties other than
Liberals who have been consulted, the
precise form of the change will not be
known definitely until Premier Asquith
is ready to announce his plans
There Is a widespread belief that al
though Baron Fisher has rendered his
resignation as first sea lord, such ar
rangements will be made as win enable
him to retain his post under the new
first lord of the admiralty, if he does
not assume the first lordship himself.
Regarding the lord chancellorship, the |
question is raised whether Lord Reading
could take the position. on account of his |
Jewish faith, as the lord chancellor is |
Keeper of the kings conscience"
All parties are working earnestly to
the strong men of England and |
bring about the solution best calculated /
to enable the country to pursue the
war.
Speaking in the GuildhaIl, at meet
ing called to thank the colonies publicly
for the way they have rallied to the help
of the mother country, Andrew Bonar
Law, the opposition leader in the House
of Commons, referring to the possibility
of political changes in the government,
said:
such combination would be useless
and perhaps worse than useless, except
rs a means to combination OF the na-
tion-a nation organized from top to
bottom for the purpose of ending this
war"
Mr.. Law spoke from the same plat.
form as Premier Asquith, the latter also
having addressed the colonial meeting.

As to Purity of Sugar.

O. Am very much interested in your
food department in Thursdays paper
To settle discussion will you kindly
state whether loaf sugar sold in bulk is
the purest sugar that can be had, and
that it is purer than the candies usually
eaten by children? Mrs. c. NJ. b.
A. There is no question that loaf sug-
ar as usually sold is of extremely high
purity. There is no reason for supposing
that it is the purest sugar that can be
obtained. for the graduated type of the
same high purity is easily procurable.
1t is true, however, that it is much
purcr than any of the cheap, ow-grade
candies usually eaten by children. A
high grade candy made by a reputable
manufacturer may be exactly as pure as
the LOAF sugar.

but has no rightful place in any food

This canning compound consists of
borscic acid and benzoate of sodium,
and should not be used, under any cir

Ripe Olives VS.. Olive Oil.

Q. Is there as much nutriment con-
tanned in ripe olives as there is in olive
oilg Mrs. G. w.
A. No. Ripe olives are valuable food
products. The stone is, of course nedi-
BILE, and there is considerable waste.
Olive oil contains practically no waste
matter whatever. Thus, pound for
pound, the nutritive value is in favor of
the olive oil.
