@. s. CONCERNED IN BLOCKADE.

Washington, March 18.-The United
States considers that Great Britain
and France in the British order-in-
council and accompanying notes, have
not answered questions ~propounded to
them as to what warrant there is un-
der international law for theestablish-
ment Of an embargo on all CONNER
cial intercourse, directly and Indirect
ly between Germany and neutral
countries.
1t was stated officially at the state
department today that this govern
ment still does not know whether the
action of all the allies is intended as a
legal blockade or whether ordinary
rules of contraband and n~on-contra-
band are to be their legal basis for
future detentions. On a determine
ton of this question probably will de-
pend not only the nature of any steps
to be taken by the United States now,
but also the basis for damage claims
arising out Interruptions to American
commerce.

RAILROADS CAN'T BEAR MUCH
MORE ADVERSE LEGISLATION

st. Paul. Mimi, March 18.-Rail-
roads of this country have been driven
ito the last ditch and no longer can
compete with each other or any one
else," James J. Hill told the railroads
committee of the Minnesota house and
senate today at a hearing on a bill to
increase passenger rates in this state
from 2 cents to 2 IL cents a mile.
Even more stringent conditions will
follow the conclusion of the European
war, Mr.. Hill predicted. Next year.
he believed would see a fall in prices
of all farm products with wheat down
to 20 cents. He also forecasted alb.
normal interest rates on money after
the European struggle ends and sale.
Predicts Speedy End of War.
1.-The war will be brought to a
speedy close because of the physical
u and is ensuing"
at costs more money per train
mile to operate passenger trains than
the railroads receive for it." Mr.. hill
said. "You know how long that con-
dition can exist and what ultimately
will come of it. Intelligent legisla-
ton is an advantage for any state, but
legislation that is unfair to the rail
roads is unfair to the people of the
state. and sooner or later they will
have to put their necks under the
yoke and help share the railroads
burdens.

right at the last ditch. They no long

UNCONSTITUTIONAL LIQUOR LAW

Montgomery, Ala, March 19.-The law
recently enacted by the Alabama leg
islature prohibiting the delivery into
the State of more than one quart Of
intoxicating liquor to n person was
declared unconstitutional today by
Judge CASTOR Gunter in a decision
rendered in city court.
The court ruled that the statute is a
regulation of Interstate commerce;
that Congress cannot delegate such
authority to the States: and that the
Federal Webb-Kenyon act prohibits
the shipment of liquor in a state onlu
when possession of any quantity of
liquor in that State is unlawful.
Judge Gunter pointed out that his
was in line with decisions III

LAMP OF SACRIFICE

1t is with the greatest happiness
that the chairman of the Literature
Committee announces that we start
the New Year with a clear sheet.
Thanks to Our good friends who
have bought Our wares and given
us contributions from time to time,
we have been able to pay off every
obligation before the old year
passes away.
We have on hand beside pretty
good supply of literature, with the
exception of map flyers.
These particular flyers are very
important, and as we have balance
on hand sufficiently large to pay for
them, they will be ordered at the
earliest opportunity. Isn't it great
to be able to make such a report?
Have you helped to bring this to
pass? We cannot be too earnest in
Our appeal to each and every suf-
fragist to help out little in raising
the amount necessary to defray our
printing expenses for the coming
year.
If you have not already made
such a New Years resolution, make
it now.

This writing club could be ex-

slow, but such ideas do grow, and
when on solid footing you will be
surprised at the results. Then your

Dear Suffrage Ne7oS:

[ am deeply interested in STIFF
trage for women. | should like to
work for it, but am poor. | have
a home and children and good
husband. My time is so occupied
that | have little time for other
work. AS cannot help with either
money or time, what can I do to

have results? [ am aware that in

1t is pleasant to hear from one
who frankly admits her limitations
and yet is not entirely willing to be
bound by them. It so often hap
pens we could do so much more
than we do, if we only understood
the value of time. No doubt N.
Ms daily duties keep her busy, her
management of her household on
limited income calls for both men
tai and physical activity. But, dear
N. NJ, how about your leisure?
When you are tired and feel you
must get away from the domestic
grind for an hour or two, what do
you do? Run next door and have
a gossip with your neighbor about
the affairs of your other neighbors,
join card club and pass six hours
a week at the card table? Loll in
tearoom, or just remain in your
library and read a novel?
All of us have duties that we
must perform if we wish to do our
part as good women, but it is a
lamentable fact that too many of
the so-called good women waste
their leisure.
If you would make a bargain
with yourself that your leisure time
no matter how short it is-say
half-hour a day, or even two hours
a week, should be devoted to suf-
frage work, you would be amazed
at the result. You could get that
