reprisals." The blacklist, with its unlimited pos
sibilities of private blackmail, has caused more
indignation in this country than the abuses of the
blockade, for the reason that it's unfriendliness
is recognized and it's uselessness, except for the
unfair promotion of British trade, is apparent.
In fact, the whole controversy, from the
American point of view, grows out of British
commercial greed rather than any legitimate
military policy Our trade with European neu-
trails has been seriously interrupted on many
frivolous pretexts, the only excuse being block

there is reason to believe that information

ufacturers and merchants, and now we have a
blacklist of American business houses which
threatens them with ruin and offers them but
one avenue of escape-the transfer of their en-
terprises to British interests.
The note now at hand expresses establishment
that Secretary Lansing in his recent commune
cation on the subject of the mails should have in
simulated that business secrets contained in our
pilfered mail-bags had been given to British CON-
petitors and made use of to our disadvantage.
Perhaps this surprise is only simulated If so, it
will be we'll for the State Department in it's next
utterance on the subject to make the whole
American case so plain that there will be no room
for inference and amazement.
Unless change takes place in the attitude of
Great Britain toward the United States, there
will be extra-legal reprisals no doubt When a
democracy is goaded into such courses its irrita-
ton soon finds expression in public action ALSO

he said. II didn't ask Tommie Cat
that, but l think it should be pretty
deep"
Bonnie Dog dug deep hole and
then he dropped the collar into it..
He hated to cover it up. But will
soon have plenty Of collars" he said,
so won't mind going without it a
while"
Two big green eyes were watching
Bonnie Dog, but he didn't know that,
and when he had covered the collar
and gone into the house Tomnlie Cat
sneaked out from behind the bushes
where he was hiding and ran home.
That night when everybody was
asleep Tommy Cat came out of his
house and ran down the road to Ben
ME Dogs garden and began to dig. 1t
took him long time, for Bonnie Dog
had planted his collar deep; but after
a while Tommy Cat found it.
Then he covered the hole again and
patted the soil SO no one could tell it
had been touched, and ran back home.
Bennie Dog watered the place every
day where he had planted the collar
and waited for it to grow, but, of
course, nothing but weeds came up,
and so he told Tommie Cat what bad
luck he was having with his collar
plant.
How deep old you dig the hole?'
asked Tommie Cat.
"Oh! I made deep hole" said Ben.
ME Dog. Il wanted good, long roots. y
THAT is the trouble" said naughty
Tommie Cat; you should not have
put it down very deep-only little
way. l am afraid you will not get a
good crop of collars this year"
I guess I'll dig it up, then, and
wear it a while and plant it next
year." said Bonnie Dog.
"Oh, you won't find it If you dig;
collars just go to seed when they do
not grow right off," said Tommie Cat
But Bonnie Dog began to dig, and
he dug and dug until he had hole
so deep he could not be seen.
What are you digging, a well?"
asked Tommie Cat, who was passing
one day.
Il am trying to find my collar" said
Bonnie Dog, poking up his head from
the hole.
Il told you you could not find it,"
said Tommie Cat, you planted it too
deep. Collars to grow well should be
planted near the top of the ground:
here is one l raised from one found
on the road"
Bonnie Dog jumped out of the hole
and ran over to where Tommie Cat
stood THAT looks like my collar"
he said.
YES, it does, a little" said Tommie

International Blackmail

Great Brtain's curt and unsatisfactory reply
to the protests of the United States against mall
seizures shows that the misunderstanding be-
tween the two Governments are becoming ser.
ious. In the matter of the blockade as in that OF
the mails, there has been no evidence as yet that
the British Ministry attaches much weight tc
our complaints or is disposed to abandon the prac'
tees which it has authorized.
Financial London, always considerably more
enlightened than any British Government, shows
an intelligent appreciation of the situation when
it expresses fears that the blacklistng of Ameri-
can business houses may lead to "extra-legal

Raise collars, what do you mean
by that?" asked Bonnie Dog, with
wide open eyes.
''Oh, did you never hear of plant

of it GROVE" asked Tommie Cat.

the ground, Bennie Dog, and there
would be more collars, don't you
see?"
Il never thought of that" said
Bonnie Dog, looking with admiration
on Tommie Cat, for he thought he
must be very wise to know so much
"You know most everything, don't
you?" he said.
'Oh, no, not everything" said Tom.

Bonnie Dog began to think how

MEDALS AWARDED TO
TRACK TEAM V|CTORS
SEVEN OF THEM GIVEN HATTiEs.
BURG HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
FOLLOWING A. & M. MEET.

The seven medals won by the track
team OF the Hattiesburg High School
at the high school track meet held
at the A. & NJ. College last Satur-
day, were awarded by Prof. w. @.
Strahan, principal Of the local school,
this afternoon.
Although the Hattiesburg boys won
third place, the close score being,
Greenwood %, Meridian 10, and Hat
tlesburg IT. the Hattiesburg team
made the greatest impression of all
the teams contesting on account oil
the fact that they were light i'll weight.
But any team, regardless of weight
will make a great showing after hay
ing gone through the hard grind that
Mr.. Strahan has administered to his
team for the past two months.
The reason the Hattiesburg boys did
not win first place was due to tie
fact that there were many schools,
having only one strong athlete, who
entered the event the local boys were
strongest in. 1t was conceded by
many Of the spectators that the Hat
tiesburg boys could have defeated
any one Of the contesting teams in
dual meet.
Mr. Strahan is very proud Of Tie
congratulation he received from his
previous teachers over the successes
that have come to him in the work he
has engaged in. When Mr.. Strahan
began teaching in the High School,
Field Day was particularly unknown
to the High School students; now it
has been demonstrated that Hatties-
burg has some Of the best material
in the state for competing in both
athletic and literary contests.
