large cargo of war supplies including
254l cases Of cartridges and 1856 bales

that the vessel was in no danger and
from its tone officials here of the

Future Attitude of U. S.

Ambassador Page has not reported
the impression made upon the British
foreign office. So far as American
patch of the note marks a turning
point of vast importance, for hence
forth the United States is 10 consider
the British blockage as ineffective and
imperative, and all cargoes of nom
contraband goods destined for Ger
many or through neutral countries to
the enemies of Great Britain will be
viewed by this government as immune
from detention. Claims presented by
Americans for detentions or seizures
of such goods will be supported by
the diplomatic machinery of the Unit
ed States to the fullest extent
Varied Speculation
Speculation in official quarters to-
day as to what Great Britain's course
would be was varied. Some of them
pointed out that as Great Britain
abandoned all pretense of blockade
and applied the laws of contraband,
the forthcoming American note on the
propriety Of including various articles
in the contraband list would be es-
pecially pertinent to the controversy.
On the other hand if the blockade is
made legal so far as German coasts
are concerned, the American govern
ment will continue to insist that legit-
innate trade with neutral countries
must not be interfered with.
EnsIand's Trade
What American officials express
particular concern about in connec-
ton with the alleged Illegal practices
of Great Britain is the large trade
which they claim Great Britain her
self is carrying on with neutral ports
TO which American exporters are for
hidden to trade. It is this feature Of
the situation which officials regard as
most serious and indefensible. They
say if Great Britain held her own
shippers to normal trade with neu-
trail countries, the application of rigid
measures to American traders might

A DAY AT THE SIMONTON HOME
STEAD.

Among the memories of the summer
is a day spent with friends in the old
homestead at West Rockport with one
of the oldest citizens of the town in the
Simonton Homestead. The elms with
girth of more than IL feet majestically
welcomed US to this place. Memories of
many visits to the home, with cordial
welcome from Uncle Joshua and his
family were still fresh in the minds of
those who had received hospitality in the
years that were gone. Grandnieces,
great grandnieces and nephews listen
ed to the man of 80 years who still
bravely faces life alone in this house OF
memories. From his lips came poems
and stories filled with the joys and sor-
rows of life. The gentle courtesy, the
clearness tof perception, the splendid
courage were all expressed in his fine
personality. Mr.. Simonton has lived
with the exception of years in this
home and it is interesting to those who
have known him to hear of the early days
and ways. Through the kindness of Mr..
and Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Shea and Mrs:
Wadsworth of Belfast we are indebted
for the days pleasure. In parting, we
felt, "Say not goodnight, but in some
fairer cline bid US good morning. -

THE SALES OF HORSES AND MULES.

England has divided this country into
four areas for the procurement of
horses. Four firms have been commits
stoned to do the buying, and the prices paid
by England are higher than those paid
by the French or Italians. A contract
has been made with the South Omaha
Horse and Mule Company for 500 horses
a week, and at the same point the
French Government has just placed a
81, 900, 900 order which requires that at
least 5000 of the horses must be deliv-
cred within 80 days. Up to date South
Omaha has send 100000 worth of
horses to the Allies, and it Is expected
that the business will be doubled within
the next IL months. Arrangements are
also being perfected for the purchase Of
5000 horses a month at Des Moines.
Orders for horses and mules began to
come in one month after the outbreak of
the European war, and for the period
September, 1914, TO June, 1915. we ex-
ported them to the value of S63, BIG, 500
compared with an expectation of less
than $3,000.00O for the similar period,
1913-1914. Exports of mules for the
1914-1915 period were valued at $12, 7O0,-
900, compared with $780, for the sim
liar period, 1913-1914. The average life
of horse in the European war is esti-
mated at eight days.
