SAYS NEUTRAL TRADE
MUST ACCEPT RISK
Maitrc Clunct Cites Message Of
President Pierce to L. s.
Congress.
special cable Despatch TO TuE sus

PARIS Jan. 1.-The text OF the Ameri-
can note to Great Britain in regard to the
seizure Of American vessels carrying car
goes to neutral countries is now known
here and has created q better impression
than the abrupt summary which was
Cahled by a news agency.
Commenting on the full note the Figaro
says to-day there Is no doubt that the
British Foreign Office in replying will
be animated by the same sentiment OF
frankness and friendship shown in the
text OF the American communication. The
paper says 1t believes England, while
maintaining her rights. will give the
United States assurances that II will d.
minsh as much rs possible the inevitable
Inconvenience which have been caused
by the exercise OF the right of search
Maitre Clunet, the well known jurist, in
an interview In Lie GdUioii says:
'In principle all neutrals desire that
war, even though II should set the four
quarters OF the world on fire. must not
touch the little corner where they live
nor AFFECT their comfort or gains"
NJ. Clunet examines the provisions OF
the Hague conventions and the Declara-
ton OF London, and then quotes the fol-
lowing from the message Of President
Franklin Pierce to the American Congress
in 1851:
Private persons engaged In contraband
trade expose themselves to confscation
OF their merchandise. but their acts in
nowise compromise the nations neutrality
nor engage the responsibility OF the Gov
eminent"
NJ Clunet concludes
Neutral countries are not obliged to
forbid the export of articles of war to
bCiiigerents. but the latter have the right
to defend themselves against what they
consider as an act of hostility on the
part OF neutral commerce by seizing
these articles of war, which. indeed have
been exported at The risk OF those en-
gaging in such operations"

BlackmaiIer Nabbed
Here by Decoy Letter

j. Il. Flick, alias Raymond. was
arrested last night by Harry White
and John Murnane. city detectives. on
a warrant from Lancaster charging
blackmail. The prosecutor is Samuel
6. Bausman, prominent businessman
in Lancaster city. He alleges that
Flick offered to sell him letters written
by his daughter containing evidence
that might prevent a big sensation.
Miss Bausman. it is said, is a nervous
wreck over Flick's attempt at black
mail. sr.
According to Detective Young, of
Lancaster. who had mailed a decoy
letter to catch Flick in Harrisburg, the
Lancaster businessman was to receive
bunch of alleged sensational letters
e. O. ID. and was to pay $50 to the
blackmailer. Two letters were to be
held back. for which $50 more was to
be paid. Flick was in Harrisburg
awaiting an answer from Bausman.
He was arrested in a Market street
poolroom and admitted his guilt.
Flick says he met Miss Bausman,
who is teacher in the northern part
of the State, and that the father OBJ
jected to his paying attention to the
daughter, and he wanted to get square.
Flick added: Had ] received the cash
intended to go to Baltimore and en-
list for service with the allies. l guess
III get my medicine"
Flick claims he was formerly en-
ployed as a chauffeur for the State
Highway Department. in Cambria and
Colum bia counties.
Flick is not known to the State
Highway Department under that name.

STUBBORN FIRE
BURNS BUILDING
IN LANCASTER
Flames in Heart of Business
District Cause Loss of
$4,000
Sbccial to Tie TcIccrnhh


Lancaster, Pa. Nov. IS. - one of
the most spectacular fires seen in Lam
caster for a long time broke out early
this morning in the Jacobs Clothing
Store i'm the heart of the business sec
tion and before the blaze was under
control the building which houses the
clothing store and the Hardwickes
Candy Company was badly gutted.
The loss, according to various esti-
mates made to-day will reach at least
$4,000.
When the fire companies arrived on
the scene the building was mass of
flames and although tons and tons
of water were played on the structure
the firemen appeared to make little
headway. The fire was being fed from
some source but it was not until a
while later that it was discovered that
broken gas mains in the big building
were causing the trouble. Then the
supply was shut off i'm the street.
The building in which the fire oc-
Cured has two big storerooms in the
first floor, the one occupied by the
clothiers and the other by the candy
company. on the second floor is the
Lancaster. OlllCe Oh Ine HTuuentlal Ilte
Insurance Company and the third floor
is used for storage. The candy com
pany loss may reach $4,000. The
building was owned by Charles a. ID.
Zook who purchased it short time
ago The loss is partly covered by
insurance.
The new motor apparatus of the
Lancaster department was used for the
first time to-day and did good service.
Some of the fremen were directed in
their work by Mayor Harry l.. Trout,
a former fireman, who has taken IN
active interest in increasing the efi-
cheney of the Lancaster firemen.
The cause of the fire is given as
spontaneous combustion
