A Was ington, March 19.-While the
United States government does not
how as yet whether the allies in
sSfend to maintain a legal blockade or
propose to apply general rules Of con-
traband and non-contraband in en-
forcing their embargo on commercial
intercourse between Germany and
neutral countries, American naval OF
fcers and officials versed in interna-
tional law expressed the opinion todaV
that the indefinite limit prescribed
European waters, including e Med
iterranean' Knight be construed as a
legal area Of operations for blockad-
ing fleet.
Naval officers frankly admit that the
old form of blockade by warships close
to an enemy's coast passed with the in
vestment of Santiago in the Spanish
American war Accordingly, in ask
ing Great Britain and France for an
explanation o. their recent declaration
of an embargo the United States con-
cedes that tie activity of submarines
might make physically impossible a
close blockade of an enemy coast and
suggested taat if the declaration Of
the allies were to be construed as a
legal blockade, some radius of ac-
tivity'' be announced.
This principle Of a radius of ac-
ton" for blockading fleet was dis
cussed at the international naval con-

ference at London in 1909 and the
dec. al ation which followed contained
this rule:
Seizure of neutral vessels for vio-
laticn of the blockade may be maGe only
within the radius of action Of ships
Of war assigned to maintain an etfec-
tive blockade"
Tne United States naval war college
aut critics point out that while orig
inally under American doctrine the
area of blockade was not limited, the
definition "of an area of operations
of a blockade, even if in such man
ner as to include large range Of
nigh sea, is regarded as a legitimate
act of war. and w-ile it IS
undoubtedly an Inconvenience and may
be loss to neutral commerce to be
excluded from the blockaded area, it
is a recognized consequence Of war.
The declaration of London and all
pre- ious expositions of international
law specifically ruled, however, taat
''the blockading forces must not bar
access to the ports or coasts OF neu-
trails" 1t is in It's point that the
British order in council, if intended
to be a notification OF blockade VIC.
be, in the view Of officials here, a Wv
lation OF previous rules. For t at
reason further development of the
British policy in specific cases is
awaited with keen interest.

fide membership However, they are
going to have to go out OF business,
fer the lid is going on, not only in
Columbia. but throughout tie State.
Gcy. Manning is determined to stamp
out all and every form of iolation o.
the now rigid laws Of South Caro-
ina. TIE governor has said that he
was not, responsible for the passage Of
the law. but he is responsible for its
enforcement. and he proposes to Otis
duty without fear and without favor.
He is going to enforce the laws i'm
partially, letting the chips fall where
hey nay.
1t is expected t at where the mayors
of the cities fail to do t. cir duty salts
factorily to the governor in tne mat
ter of law enforcement he will sum-
mons the sheriffs of the counties ani
put the matter up to them. 1t is be-
lieved that in the case Of Charleston
and Columbia a certain time will be
given for local officials to enforce
the law, and in the event they fail the
governor will probably put the matter
up to the sheriffs, and if they fail he
will very probably remove them and
put men in their places who will en-
force t. e laws. This is his announced
intention, it is known. The governor
will have nothing further TO say for
publication over his plans for law en-
to1cement, but it is known that he is
bending j. is energies to closing up the
Illegal liquor dealers throughout the
State, and is olding tae sheriffs espe-
cially accountable for resules. Just
what action he will take in Charleston
is not known, but there is general
impression in we'll informed circles
that the governor is ready to move
swiftly in tie matter and that his next
announcement will be through results,
Governors Hands Full.
With situation in Charleston and
Columbia the trouble in Barnwell,
where all the dispensaries have been
closed indefinitely by the governor and
where the grand jury has employed
expert accountants to check the books
of the old dispensary board, and tee
Kersnaw county matter, the governor
having summoned Sheriff w. ". Huck-
abee to show cause before him on
March 80 Tor alleged failure to enforce
the laws against liquor selling, the
hands of the governor are full. How
ever, lie is keeping a close eye on eV-
cry county and is in constant touch
with the sheriffs and other law en-
forcement officers throughout the
State.
In several Of tie counties, notably IL
saluda and Berkeley, the sheriff held
a conference with all of the magis-
trates over efforts to stamp out tne
blind tigers, and in Berkeley county a
certain territory was assigned to each
one to look after, and in this way a

venting the storing of liquors in clubs,
and it was because of this fact that
the clubs Of Columbia, Il e Netropoli-
tan, Columbia; the Elks and the Ridge
wood Country club, It's week discon-
tinued the permission to store liquid
refreshment in individual lockers and
the clubs are now dry" Nothing but
soft drinks, such as lemonade, cigars,
and cigaretts, and sandwiches, can
now be nad in the clubs mentioned,
T-ey took the action in renoyating the
lockers because these clubs will do
not ing which is unlawful, for their
membership is made up of men who
are law-abiding and the leaders Of the
community in al lines Of business. And
it is wortay of note that probably the

ming, and they are going to back uD

ment.
Reports from sparJanburg, Green

have removed all intoxicants and have
gene dry" Similar action has been
taken, it IS reported by the locker
clubs in practically all tae other towns
in tie State.
There has been no report from the
clubs in Charleston, but it is presumed
that they will follow suit and remove
all intoxicants. 1t is known that the
administration confidently expects this
action.

are INDUCED in by the slaves. Bondage
Is visualized with its sorrows and its
joys. AS the war progresses great battles
are fought. and the thrilling action from
rifle fire to cavalry clashes and ar
tillery duels is depicted in pictorial
form as true to life as it is possible for
the human agency to simulate.
Peace is examplified in a brilliantly
impressive pageant, and the pictorial
story continues with the fortunes OF the
reunited lovers and the trouble expert
enced In the south over the abuse Of
political power vested in the emancipated
negroes. Mob violence and outlawry are
depicted, followed by spectacular views
of the Ku Klux Klansmen, who or
ganized secretly to control the negroes
through their superstitious fears. The
Klansmen were fearless night riders,
and they wore white shrouds. Acts Of
vengeance were perpetrated under the
cover Of darkness and the pictures show
clearly why such extreme measures
we're necessary for the continuance Of
law and order In point of interest the
Klansmen spectscles rival the war as
poets of the graphic photoplay.
