"The Seven Seas"

The phase "The Seven Seas" has
been current for some time-was SO
current when KipIing universalized it
nearly twenty years ago-to denote all
the great waters of the earth. Its use
divides into seven parts the "tripartite
ocean (the Atlantic, Pacific, and In
dian oceans) as the North and South
Atlantic, the North and South Pacific,
the Indian, the Arctic, and the An
tarctic oceans. 1t is interesting to
note that Roman Italy had its seven
seas" the chain of salt lagoons about
the mouth of the Pc, separated from
the Adriatic by strips Of sand or en-
Lankments. The Iagoons were in an
cient days much more extensive than
now, and the "Septem Maria" afforded
a continuous means of internal navi-

BLOCKADE ESILLEGAL
WILSON TO DEMAND OF GREAT
BRITAIN RIGHT TO TRADE
WITH GERMANY.
SEEKS FREEDOM OF CARGoES
President to Hold That Noneontra-
band Goods Bound for the Port of
Enemy Is Not Subject to Seizure by
the Allies Warships.

Washington, June l4.-The new
American note to Great Britain on the
rights Of neutral commerce will make
the same demand of that government
that the United States has already
made of Germany-namely, that she
shall adhere to the recognized princi-
pies of international law in her treat
ment Of American citizens and their
property.
The state department is now en-
gagged In preparing data for the use
of the president and Secretary Of
State Lansing in the construction Of
the note to Great Britain. The note
will soon be ready for dispatch to Lon
don.
While reiterating its earlier state
ment that this government might be
ready to admit that the old form of
close" blockade is no longer practi-
cable, the note will maintain, on two
points, that Great Britain's present
method Of blockade is illegal. These
points will be:
That Great Britain can find no war
rant in international law for extend
ing her blockade to the ports of neu-
trail countries adjoining the enemy
territory.
That her blockade does not operate
against traffic between Scandinavian
and Danish ports and Germany is.
therefore, in violation of interna.
tional law, which holds that a block
ade must apply to all countries alike.
The note will then indicate the
practices of Great Britain with re-
gard to American commerce, which
it regards as direct violation of in
ternational law.
This government will state its un-
derstanding of the law to be that nom
contraband, even if bound for an
enemy port, is not subject to interfer-
ence unless a legal blockade is main
tanned; that contraband, If destined
for the territory of the enemy, is sub
ject to seizure, and that conditional
or relative contraband is subject to
seizure If intended to be used by the
enemy government, but is not subject
to interference, beyond examination,
If intended for the civil population.
Great Britain's claim that she is
prepared to pay for these cargoes at
the price in which the contracts were
made will be answered by the state
ment that she has no legal right to
compel American owners of goods tc
sell to her.

AT POINT OF REBELLION
Jimmy Had Reached the Stage Of Boy
hood When Kissing Became
Rather Tiresome.

Little Jimmy had reached the con-
clusion that everybody in the world
had kissed him or wanted to badly
He could not help being a boy that
all the ladies wanted to pet and be-
stow their kisses upon. In fact, Jim
my longed for the day when he would
have a say so in the matter Of being
kissed. One day a famous woman
came to call upon his mother. Jimmy
chanced to enter the parlor and was
directed by his mother to come up
and see the noted Mrs. So and So
Jimmy knew what was coming, but
he could not prevent the occurrence.
The visitor took him by the hand and
gently gathered him up into her lap,
and as she let him down to the floor
again she graciously bestowed a kiss
upon his pouting lips. Jimmy jumped
away from her and began to rub his
lips in a vicious manner.
What, you are not rubbing my kiss
of, my little MANI" questioned the
woman. Jimmy was puzzled for q
few moments, then replied;
mo. ma'am, I'm just rubbing it in,
and then vanished through the door.

DADDY'S CROUCH FADED AWAY
Little 6obby's Question Gave Him
Chance to Recover His
Good Humor.

Papa had a crouch, and an atmos.
phere of deep gloom settled over the
family dinner table. Even little Bobby
felt that something was wrong, but he
had to talk or burst. and he preferred
to talk.
Daddy" he asked, why did they
throw the tea overheard in Boston
harbor?"
Daddy twirled the spoon in his cup
while he thought up this mean thing
to say: IF it was anything like this
stuff they certainly had mighty good
excuse for throwing it overheard"
Having gotten this remark off his
chest, the old man felt so good that
he actually smiled, and before he knew
1t his crouch was gone.

But suppose there should be chill

Mother of The Girl.
The Girl pushed the idea aside and
went on reading in the next room, but
the words she had heard kept running

book.
She went for a walk in the twilight

over with life and happiness, and
every one that turned smiling face
to hers seemed accusing her of some
horrible thing she was about to do.
She called to see friend, and in a
friendly little chat tried to force The
Gossip's suggestion from her mind, but
1t clung.
AS the days went by and prepara-

mind by The Gossip became as a plant
that stretched out its tendrils and
we've them into the woof of The Girls

crowded out flowers Of thought like
a rough and hardy weed, until they
filled The Girls conscious hours, and
lapped over into her subconsciousness,
haunting her dreams by night.
The invitations to the wedding were
in the house and The Girl and The
Man had spent a very happy evening
addressing them. The prospective
bride had gone to bed little less
troubled in mind than had been her
wont of late, when, toward the dawn,
the Dream Spirit came and touched
her, bidding her follow him out into
the shadows.
Suddenly she found herself stand

wind-swept. The waves of the ocean
dashed their icy spray along the
shore and the sound was that as Of
children wailing. A great darkness
settled over the land; that darkest
hour which comes just before the
dawn. Then came the first gray streak
across the eastern sky, and The Girl
