 The Ambassadors from Argentina. Brazil and C-H and the Ministers from Bolivia. Uruguay and Guatemala have been asked 10 confer with Sec retary Lansing here.
 This announcement was made at the seate Department.
 There will be au informal confer ence at the State Department 10 con slider the Mexican situation Those taking part will be the Ambassadors from Brazil. Argentina and Chile. and the three ranking Ministers Of the American Republics. namely those of Bolivia. Uruguay and Guatemala.
 As to the details which Will be considered nothing can be said at the present time as the conference will be entirely confidential"
 While the State Department char acterized the coming conference as an informal one. the sentiment has ben growing among American officials that the next step in the Mexican situation should be one which would meet the aprOval of the world. and should be taken in concert with the nations Of Central and South America. even if in the last event the trend should be toward military action.
 Action in concert with the Central and South Americans would be in line with President Wilson's plan for a closer relationship between the United States and those countries. and is planned to show that the United States considers the Mexican question the common cause Of the Pan-Ameri. can group. and that this Government entertains no idea Of territorial az. gression. but is acting solely as Mex ico's nearest powerful friend and neighbor

ENGLAND DEFENDS BLOCKADE.
Cites Decision of U. S. Supreme Court
 in New Note.

Washington Great Britain, in three notes to the United States, the last of which has reached Secretary Lansing. seeks to make the principal points that:
 Great Britain has the right to stife trade between her enemies and neu- tral countries, including the right to stop abnormal shipments through the neutral countries adjacent to Germany and Austria.
 Precedents set by the United States itself and decisions ny the United States Supreme Court establish this principle Of international law.
 Great Britain has the right to shut off Germanys trade with the outside world and thus deprive her of fnan- cial assistance from such business.
 4 blockade of North Sea ports. in effect if not in name. exists. and there is an inherent right in the bloekading Power, under international law. to suppress outbound as we'll as inbound traffic.
 ne Omted states always has the right of diplomatic review of prize court decisions and even Of arbitra- tion, hence the Orders in Council com. ply with the spirit of international law.
 Discussing American precedent for strangling neutral commerce with an enemy nation, the British note cites the virtual blockade of the Bahamas by the North in order to stop trade with the Confederaey. The celebrated Springbok case is cited to uphold the assertion of right. and other decisions such as the Matamoras case which seems to conflict with this doctrine are held To be inaaplicabfe by reason of a radical difference of governing conditions.

 Daniel II Barnes, another of the old union members, whose home is at No 24 Main street. characterized the proceedings as spite work" He said; Not only did I not participate in the boycott. but I knew nothing about 1t until I was served with no. tice In fact. very few of the defend. ants knew anything about it at the time.
 It's very unjust, I think. to hold others Why they should pick out men who didn't even take part in the boycott can't see. l don't see any justice in law at all. they call that justice But that's the trouble. it's all law and no justice.

 Members Of the local unions do not regard as encouraging the promised assistance from the national organi- zation.

 Spare the Chickens.
 Another matter relating to lobster fisheries which is causing the fish and game commission a great deal of trouble is tse practice of catching chicken Holsters.
 The law forbids the catching Of Holsters under a certain size. and imposes what the late Judge Arthur F Eegleston would term "a right smart penalty on the yiolators of the statute The eplcuran taste of some persons is primarily responsible for the catching of chicken lohsters The young Or uudersized Holsters are considered great delicaeY and big prices are paid for them. The com mission has also successfully prose cuted parsons for catching these small holsters. and fl there are not more prosecutions 1t will be because the practice of catching the lob1ers has been abandoned There is harl- ly anything more detrimental to the development of the lobster industry than the catching Of young Holsters.
 The contract for the printing of the fish and game laws of the state has been awarded 10 the Journal Publishing company Of Ms1iden.

CLEVELAND BIG BROTHERS
TO SAVE TEN YOUNGSTERS

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 14-The big
gest "big brother" type of philan-
tropy, in the land is in full opera
ton here today.
Ten youngsters, typical of thous-
ands handicapped by poverty have be-
gun new careers. Ten rich Cleve-
land men have pledged responsibility.
The former are Junior Rotarians;"
the latter members of Cleveland's Ro-
tary club, an organization of $50
leading business men and manufac-
turers.
The Rotarian proteges, none over
IA, were recruited from the poorest
families of Cleveland. All knew po-
verify and none knew the real joys
of life. One is a newsboy. He is
| today dressed in new clothing and
has started to go to school. Later
he may go to college, if his rotarian
foster-father deems best He is John
Jarina, IL. His father has been
dead five years.
Gustave Miller, 49, is another or
phan. He works from morn till
night on a farm near Rock Rover,
a Cleveland suburb. His schooling
starts at once.
Little Michael Lucas, 10, is an
other beneficiary of the big brother
scheme. Michael's father has been
out of work for months. Now Michael
has a new father who is giving him
a chance to be successful business
man some day. He's starting in and
promises to take responsibility of a
big family from his real fathers
shoulders some day.
Each boy will have a personal
guardian. His schooling will be
carefully watched and he will be
given every opportunity to make a
real man and good citizen.
When the Rotary, club decided to
take up the new philanthropy and it
was announced that ten proteges
would be selected for a starter, mem
berss drew lots to ascertain who would
rlay the role of "big brother" Many
who failed to draw a ward were
keenly disappointed.
Members of the club say the scheme
has met the approval. of every Rotary
club in the United States and it will
be developed elsewhere. j.. 49,

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years =
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years.
standing by this treatment, and SO sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the ef-
feet of the medicine is sufficient to con-
vince any one of its remarkable effect

feels like new person. Mayr's Won
