OLD RIGHTS NEWLY ASSERTED

There runs through British press comment on the American protest
against undue interference with neutral commerce a OF OF surprise
and o little irritation. 1t IS even hkened Ito the Venezuelan message OF
1895 and treated as if it were a n unfrHndly act.
This cn be explained IN sentimental but o on rational grounds,
says the New Yorw World. The United States in this note is merely
claiming 70. itself rights in neutral commerce which have long been &c
ognized il. international law and which have nowhere or at n o int been
more strongly asserted than by Great Britain in the Russo-Japanese var.
How a there be anything unfriendly n such a position? WHAT
less could this government do in fairness to itself and the admitted rights
of all neutral commerce?
Stress is apparently laid less upon Britians extensions of the con-
traoand list than upon the constant state of uncertainty which frequent
and arbitrary changes create; less upon the allied effort ito prevent on
ditonal contraband goods from reaching the Teutonc enemy through
neutral countries than upon seizures OF cargoes and prolonged delays in
voyages OF pure assumption, with II o evidence that the cargoes are con-
traband.
Admittedly, the fact that Germany and Austria are fringed around
by neutral seaboard countries presents exceptional difficulties in enforc-
ing against them the starving-out process. But this cannot affect our
commercial rights as neutral. 1t is not for us to sec that contraba1pl
OIL conditional contraband shipped to Italy or Holland in good faWh
does not reach Germany or Austria. This is for the powers Of the Triple
Entente. which should be able to deal with the problem through these
neutral countries themselves.
The British press is in a state OF mind that al see n o excuse for a
neutrality in this country which does not covert1y sacrifice American
rights in order to give Great Britain a free hand. If the result of these
unwarranted interferences chould be a cessation OF American meat eN-
ports to Great Britain itself, as is possible perhaps London would fall
into a different view Of the case.

DAMAGES FOR FALSE ARREST

Three years ago, David J. Bhck, a native OF Buffalo, N. y, vas a-
pointed station agent for the Canadian Pacific Railroad company at
Wyckife. in the Canadian Northwest. After he had been station agent
for six months Black found work nearer home and sent in his reSgna-
tnn. In July, 1918, he IA arrested on a charge Of having stolen 1884.
Black agreed to travel 200 miles where the warrant had been issued for
his arrest, provided proceedings in Buffalo were dismissed. At the end
OF the journey Black a kept in jail for a month.
When the case a called it a dismissed, and Black sued the Cana
dian Pacific i'll the United States court for malicious prosecution. He
got a verdict OF $4,000 Tor damages. The company applied to Judge
Mayer, at Buffalo to have the verdict set aside on the ground that it was
excessive, but the Judge dismissed the application. saying that Black was
entitled to heavy damages. 1t was a just decision. Corporations are too
careless in the matter of having men arrested o charges that have
II foundation.

In this country, the short ballot means conining popular elections o the

probably be appointed during good behavior up to a retiring age.

HEAVY LOSS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Chicago, July S-Tornadoes and
cloudbursts, sweeping eastward from
the Missouri river valley, caused
heavy damage and loss OF life in
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
Tornadoes swept districts northwest
of St Louis. blowing part of Wa
bash railroad train from the track
and devastating St. Charles. Mo. The
wind at St Charles blew eighty miles
an hour.
Similar storms were reported to
have struck ST Peters, Mo, and Law
renceville, Ill First reports said two
persons were killed at Lawrenceville.
Exceptionally heavy rains were re-
ported from all sections of the af-
fected territory, especially at Rock
Island, H., and Cincinnati, o. At the
latter place the heaviest loss Of life
was due to the capsizing of river
boats and it is feared many others
have been drowned at other points
along the river.

600 population. was in total darkness
except for kerosene lamps and can
dies. The electric plant was put out
of commission. The entire front OF
Factory No. 2 of the American Car

The storm came from the southwest
but as it struck the city it swerved
north and swept the entire central
portion. The first volley of wind was
followed by the heaviest rain in the
memory of a generation, and this by
hail The storm then swept across
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers
and into Madison county, H., but there
its fury seems to have been spent
An automobile party which rushed to
St. Peters returned to st. Charles and
reported that while every house in the
town had been badly damaged. and
many demolished, no one was killed
