NOTE ON PACKERS CASE.
AUTHORITIES PRE-.
PAIRING MISSIVE TO LONDON.
Total of $14,OOO,OOO Represented by
One Complaint Against Methods of
Great Britain.

Washington, July 15.-In response
to an appeal by American packers,
state department officials are prepar-
Ing note to Great Britain urging
early settlement for or release OF 81
cargoes of meat products consigned
to neutral countries held by the
British government. Representatives
of the packers concluded conferences
today with Chandler Anderson, special
counselor of the department.
Packers today outlined the long
series Of negotiations they have car
ried on with British authorities in a
vain effort to reach a satisfactory ad-
justment regarding five cargoes valued
at $14,OOO,OO0 seized before the
British order in council against COM
merce with Germany was known to
the shippers.
Advances have been made to them,
the packers says, to join in a move
ment with cotton growers and other
interests to urge a special session of
congress to consider the subject of
neutral shipping.

UNCLE SAM WON'T CHANGE.
WILL RETAIN SAME POSITION ON
SHIPMENT OF ARMS
Thought That Note Will Contain Re-
iteration of Neutral Stand of United
States, and Right to Ship Munitions
to Bclligcrcnts. =

Washington. July 15.-The United
States probably will send within al
other fortnight reply to the Austrb-
Hungarian note contending that ex-
tensive shipments of war supplies
from this country to- the allies are
mot in consonance with the definition
of neutrality" 4.
Unofficially word came today that
Turkey would follow Germany and
Austria in making representations arid
should a note from Turkey arrive,
officials would delay sending their an
swer so as to inform the Germanic
allies simultaneously of the unaltera-
BILE view of the United States on arms
shipments.
Germany repeatedly has laid en-
phasis on the trade in arms between
the United States and the allies. In
n note replying to representations
from the American government on the
newly proclaimed war zone, the Legal
right of the citizens of the United
States to trade in arms was conceded,
but 1t was argued that it was equally
the right Of neutrals "to stop trade
in contraband, especially the trade h
arms with Germany's enemies" be-
cause Of violations Of other neutral
rights by Great Britain.
A memorandum from Count Bern-
storff, the German ambassador, dated
April was devoted entirely to the
discussion Of the alleged toleration
by the United States of infractibns
Of international law by Great. Britain
and pointed out that it was necessary
in connection with shipments of arms
to take into consideration mot ONLY
the formal aspect of the case but also
the spirit in which the neutrality Is
carried out" .e4s
The Austrian note, extracts OF
which have appeared in dispatches
from Amsterdam. points out that stifs
American government would be "en-
titled to prohibit the export Of war
materials IF the trade in contraband
takes the form of dimensions where
by the neutrality of the country will
be endangered
Details Of the American answer
have not been divulged, but it is be-
lieved not only that the United States
will cite its right under international
law but will recall precedents in pre-
vious wars in which Germany and
Austria have been interested where
importations Of arms were carried on
in extensive proportions.
The state department has not made
public the text of the Austrian note
and Will not do so, until the reply is
ready.

LIQUOR SOLD TO MILITIA.
Misunderstanding Said to Have Aris-

MISUNDERSTANDING Said to Have Aris.
en- as to Conduct of Troops at
Greenville.
Greenville, July 15.-Gov. Manning
has written to Sheriff Rector admon-
ishing the sheriff to prevent the sale
OF blind-tiger liquor to the troops of
the Second regiment, information
having come TO the governor that
considerable quantities Of LIQUOR was
being bought by the militiamen. The
publication of this letter, of the sher-
i1's reply, and Of statements regard
ing the true situation, has caused a
stir among the officers {; nd friends of
the troops. AS a matter Of fact, the
tconduct !. Of the men now encamped
here has been exemplary, generally
speaking. On many occasions men
cognizant of conditions have re-
marked that never before have they
seen SO little drinking at an encamp-
ment.
The injustice done the troops and
the local officers came about in this
manner: Police Commissioner Henry
L. Mills wrote to the governor asking
that he be allowed to hire two of the
troops to serve as special detectives.
He was informed that liquor in limit
ed quantities was being bought by
some of the troops. Mr.. Mills did
not mean to imply that any local Of
Ulcers were negligent or that the mill
uamen were indulging too freely in
drink. He merely wished to catch
the few who were offending against
the law, and to do this, he wished to
employ two Of the troopers.
The governor appears to have mis-
understood the situation, and SO wrote
to the sheriff, to Mayor Marshall and
to Col. III. b. Springs. The CORES
pondence between the governor and
the sheriff was published here, and
Immediately both county and city Of
ficers and officers of the regiment
made denials Of the implication that
Illicit dealing in liquor was being
carried on to any considerable ex-
tent The correspondence has had
the effect of creating an inaccurate
impression regarding the behavior at
the camp, of breaking up a scheme
to catch a few blind tigers and of do
ing an injustice to the local officers.
Col. Springs states that not a man
mas been arrested at the camp for
drinking, that he has heard no COM
plain from the city, and that he has
experienced no difficulty whatever be-
cause of liquor. He took special pre-
cautions at the beginning to see that
no liquor got into camp.
To The States correspondent he
made the statement that never before
had he seen an encampment so free
from disorder, either when the men
were on or off duty.

fore making public names Of addi-
tional members.
I'VE intend to establish a national

The secretary referred to the fact
that when he became secretary of
navy he found that Simon Lake of
Bridgeport, Conn, one of the two in
ventors of submarines in the United
States, was behind in his payments
and was in danger of not being able
to fulfill government contracts for
submarines.
Il went to Lakes bankers" con-
tinued the secretary, "and got them to
give him further accommodations 80
that he could go on with the work.
If 1 had let Lake go under, we would
have only one submarine builder to
rely on for the future.
Mr.. Daniels said that one object of
the naval board will be to go to con-
gress and get additional money for
naval work. He added that the pro-
posed board was meeting with ap-
proval throughout the country, that
he had received scores of letters from
senators and representatives indors-
ing the proposal.
They say" Mr. Daniels continued,
that We have millions in men and
millions in money, but we need some-
thing more than that We need ma
chinery and skill. What We want to
do is to bring about a mobilization
of the brains of the nation.
Il believed in preparedness, but
also in scientific preparedness.
