An organized protest by northern
Indiana and southern Michigan cities

cality inclu ing Elkhart, Mishawaka,
Goshen. LapOcte, Niles and Michigan
City, are expected to take action on
the matter at once.
The withdrawal of the proportional
rates between here and the Ohio river
would work a great hardship on the
local shippers to southeastern states,
il is said. An increase of from 30 to
$50 per cent in some instances will be
made if the railroad companies are
permitted to withdraw the proportion
al rates
The local Chamber Of Commerce

ing it up with a written protest In
view OF this fact, il is probable that
a hearing will be ordered in South
Bend shortly by the com mission Word

FEDERATION WILL
DISTRIBUTE FUNDS
Money to Be Turned Over to
Institutions This Week
Many Pledges Unpaid.

Four thousand dollars viii be ap-
portioned shortly by the Federation
for Social Service TO the members OF
the federation. This was the an
nouncement made Thursday morning
by Z. Louis Kuhns, following "a meet
ing of the board of trustees held We'd
nesday afternoon in the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms.
At present there is $3,647.47 ON
hand, and within a few days 1T is eN-
pected that this amount Will be raised
to $4,000. When this sum is on hand
another distribution Will be made.
This is the third appOruonment made
by the federation, one being made last
December and one last January.
There was $22.40l.76 pledged dur
ing good viii week last year, and of
this amount S1I60S.67 has been coll
lected. There remains SIl45.62 TO be
collected
The meeting Wednesday was called
with the purpose of getting reports
from the members of the federation
and ordering another dividend. a re-
port from the Children's Dispensary
showed that more money than had
been apportioned 20 them when the
previous dividends were declared had
been expended. This was due, the re-
port said, TO the increased demands
made to the dispensary for aid for
children, and also to the business de-
preston Of the previous winter, which
threw many men out OF employment,
and caused the dispensary 10 have
more calls than it could handle with
the amount of money allotted The
report stated that the dispensary
would need $1,000 to carry on the
work until the next campaign was held
this fall
The mem bers of the federation are:
Anti-TuberculOSis league. Associated
Charities. Children's Dispensary, Ep-
worth hospital, Florence CrittendOn
circle. Humane society. Orphans
home, Playground association, ST. JO-
seph's hospital, Salvation Army. Visit
ing Nurse association, and Young
Women's Christian association.
Mr.. Kuhns, speaking for the feder-
alton. stated Thursday morning that
an urgent appeal TO South Bend peO-
pie who had not paid their pledges TO
send them in at once, was being made.
He also requested that unpaid pledges
be responded to when the collector
called. The ChildTen's Dispensary is
not the only organization in need Of
money" he said The other OTgani-
cations although they have kept with
in the limits OF the amount of money
turned over TO them, are in need OF
assistance as well. They need more
money than the federation has to dis
tribute he stated, and that is one
reason why we ask South Bend people
10 respond to our appeals"
1t was also announced Thursday
morning that il had been decided at
the trustees meeting 90 begin making
preliminary plans on Sept. ] for the
Good Will week this year. Good VIII
week will come the week before
Thanksgiving. and not Thanksgiving
week as was the case last year. The
reason for the change it was given
out, was that too many things inter-
fered with the work Of getting pledges.

State Department Is Preparing
to Turn Great Britain'S
Own Arguments
Against Her.
EXPORTS TO NEUTRAL
COUNTRIES INCREASING
United States to Contend That
There Is Some Possibility
of Them Falling Into
German Hands.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Preparing
TO turn against Great Britain her own
arguments. the state department was
today compiling a memorandum for
Pres't Wilson on the blockade situa-
ton. The president and Sec'y Lansing
will dispatch a stiff rejoinder to the
British contentious and will attempt
TO refute absolutely the British as
sumption that because there has been
increased expectations from the United
States TO Holland and the Scandi-
navian countries, some of these goods
are going to Germany and Austria.
The state department, while waiting
for the three British notes which were
published yesterday, assembled statis-
tics on the export buainess of the two
countries They are said to show that
the exports of England TO these coun-
tries have increased, along with those
of the United States. Great Britain,
il is suggested, might as well assume
her goods are going to Germany and
Austria as to rest that the increase of
American export shows such condition
OF affairs.
To Reject Defense.
These figures, in conjunction with
the persistent and more determined
protests of American shippers and i'm
porters who are pressing the admins
tTatiOn for relief. will result in a note
declining fatty To accept the British
position on the blockade controversy
and insisting that existing lntolerable
conditions be remedied
The reports of Consul Skinner at
London showing that there has been a
noticeable increase in Te-eXpOrts Of
American cotton from Great Britain to
Holland and scandinavian points will
appear prominently in the new note to
England. Eventually, officials say, the
entire matter must go to arbitration
as England can be expected 10 stand
on her rights under the Bryan arbi-
tratiOn pact.
So far as the new Frye note from
Germany is concerned, state depart
ment officials declare that no further
action is likely in this connection for
some time. Meanwhile it is expected
that the owners of the sunken ship
will have their claims privately settled
through the German embassy.
