AS there are but 5000 in the
treasury and no other funds are in
sight, it is expected that the Citizens
Relief Committee will cease relief
work among the poor of the city to-
morrow. This is the decision of
President George f. Reynolds and
others on the committee. The presi-
dent stated today that he had not
expected the work would last much
longer than the middle of February
Results from benefit performances
held by a number of organizations
enabled the committee to proceed
until the present time, but 1t is not
expected that the work will continue
after Wednesday and, in all events,
not after this week.
The amount on hand will be used
for paying up on work cards still
out. Few If any new cards will be
issued the next two days. Both Mr.
Reynolds and other workers are
pleased with the excellent weather
conditions and with the length of
time that the relief work could be
carried on. The committees presi-
dent said the most of winter had
passed and consequently the worst of
suffering among the poor was con-
cluded TO be at an end.

Washington, March 16.-The
sharpest protest yet prepared as the
result of European war will be the
answer of the United States to Eng
lands latest right of might" procla-
nation. The realization that Eng
lands reply to the suggestion that
food stuffs for non-eombatant pop
ulation of Germany is a curt re-
fusal and inspection of the text of the
British council order, has caused
distinct feeling of resentment in gov-
ernment circles. 1t is realized that
part of the latest orders is for hons
consumption, but the open attempt
to make the United States aoparty to
the starvation of Germany by hav-
ing it guarantee that none of its pro-
ducts shall reach Germany or Austria
is characterized by high officials as
"impudent assumption"

| the feeling that England cannot af~
ford to ignore the attitude of this
country. 1t is conceded that the
United States is in position to em-s
barrass the allies by hampering the
free shipment of food supplies and
war material which they have been
securing in unlimited quantities in
this country. This could be done
without any proclamation of embar-
&c but through the enforcement OF
red tape regulations generally fg-
nored in clearing steamships from
various ports.
Notes Under Consideration.
Two notes from the allies trans
mitted by Page at London were un-
der consideration. They were the
British order in council and Eng
lands refusal to meet suggestion in
the identical note which Germany
in part expected asking modification
of the German blockade. An evidence
of just what this new development
means to America was Commerce

MAYOR RETURNS
8 RESOLUTIONS
h0G1 APPROVED

Three resolutions adopted by the
Board of Aldermen were returned
unapproved by Mayor Ferd Garretson
at the regular council meeting last
night. He objected to having the
southerly end OF Front street paved
with stone blocks and did not see
fit to approve resolutions for painting
and overhauling the police patrol and
for receiving bids to place 5000 Gu
bic yards at the site of the proposed
Conyery place bridge. The aldermen
took action to procure assistance for
the city engineer in the preparation
of plans and specifications for the
proposed elimination of grade cross-
ings, decided to pave portion of Le-
high avenue and acted upon several
other subjects last night. Alder
man-at-Large w. Guy Weaver was
absent on account of being called out
of town. Vice President John
kutcher presided.
Street too Narrow.
Mayor Garretson did not approve
the resolution to give public notice
of intention for extending a stone
block pavement on Front street
southerly terminus, because he con-
tended the street was too narrow
there, was without sidewalks and the
character of traffic there was such
as would be served with a smooth
surface pavement. He returned the
resolution to have the Frank Van
Syckle Garage Company paint and
overhaul the police patrol, without
action in ten days. AS result the
resolution has become effective with
out the executives approval. He
contends that the vehicle does not
appear to be In need of painting and
he does not know If 1t is necessary to
overhaul the machinery on It. How
ever, he is in favor of having de-
mountable rims installed, declaring
that they should have been In use

olution to place earth up against the
