I'm SMILE LIMIT
The Zealandia Was i'm Neutral
Port When Searched.
L. s. Will Demand an Apology
From Great Britain.

Washington, Nov 23-The United
States will demand an apology from
Great Britain for the searching of the
American steamer Zealandia by a
British warship within the three-Iuile
limit of Progreso harbor, Yucatan. 1t
also will call for disavowal of the
act with the promise that it will not
happen again.
The action of this government Will
be based upon the report of Com
mander D. E. Dismukes, of the bat
tleship Kentucky and of John Ger
They asserted in reports received at
the state department today that the
Zealandia was boarded within the
neutral waters of Mexico.
State department officials declared
this is the first case in which undis-
puted facts have given this govern
ment the clear right and at the same
time obligation to act definitely and
decls1vely- 1t is thought that upon
the publications of the facts Great
Britain may voluntarily disavow the
act
The reports of Commander Dis
mukes and Consul Germon were made
at the direct orders of the state de-
partment. The British embassy here
informed the state department that it
had been advised by the commander
of the warship that searched the Zea-
landia that the vessel was boarded
outside the three-nlile zone of Pro-
greSo harbOr-
The captain of the ZeaIandia made
an affidavit that the search took
place well within the three-mile limit
This contradictory testimony caused
Secretary Lansing to ask the navy
department to send a warship to Pro-
gresO to investigate and also to call
upon Consul Germon to make further
inquiry Their reports today cleared
the matter up entirely so far rs this
governmnt is concerned.
1t was stated that the United States
is convinced that the search was
within the three mile limit and was
therefore illegal as it violated the
neutrality of Mexico

TABLE TALK
AT THE MC18

That Topeka has reputation for
buying homemade products is shown
by the following statement in the
Chamber of Commerce bulletin of
Leavenworth, Kan:
Topeka is the one town where it is
impossible to sell goods made outside
of the city. Leaving out the rest of
the country it means that Topeka sells
to all of her people and part of ours.
The Leavenworth manufacturer sells
to part of his own people and none of
Topeka. The reputation that Topeka
has in this particular is one of her
greatest assets and does much to draw
manufacturers to that city
