UNDER Great Britain's trading
with-the-enemy-act," British subjects
have been forbidden to patronize eighty
four American concerns, most of them
doing business in New York. This ac-
ton, against which the United States
government is expected to lodge a
vigorous protest, is the first black
listing of American firms and individ-
uals, though many other countries are
said to have been represented on the
British boycott list for some time.

The Oldest Epitaph.

The oldest epitaph in English, which
is found in a churchyard in Oxford
shire and dates from the year 1870, to
modern readers would be unintelligible
not only from it's antique Typography.
but from its obsolete language, the first
two lines of which run as follows and
may be taken as a sample of the
whole:
Man com & Sc how schal allie dede
be; wen VOW comes bad s. bare; moth
have ven we away fare; all We werines
vt We for care.''
The modern reading would be: MAN,
come and see how shall all dead be
when you come poor and bare; nothing
have when we away fare All is weari-
ness that we for are."-London Spec

WILL PROBE BRITISH
FISH BILL LOBBYING
Sensational Disclosures Expected From
Department Investigation.

Some rather sensational disclosures are
anticipated as a result of investigations
now under way to discover the exact
character of the pressure brought to
Dear upon the State Department by the
British government to force the con-
terees on the revenue bill to eliminate
the Chamberlain amendment intended to
protect American fishing industries in
Northern Pacific waters
1t was learned today that the British
Ambassador personally protested to one
United States Senator against the pro-
posed Legislation
1t was reported today, also, that the
British government threatened to nuIlify
the agreement of November is, 1872,
adopting rules and methods of procedure
In connection with the North Atlantic
coast fisheries arbitration, recommended
In the award of September I 1910. The
so-cailed Newfoundland fisheries dispute
was submitted to arbitration and the
United States got the worst OF it. Then
an agreement was negotiated on the lines
Of the award of The Hague tribunal.
That Is the agreement it is now said was
to have been terminated had the Cham
berlain amendment been retained.
These specific cases will form the
basis for retaliation against the British
shipping lines responsible for the dis
elimination. 1t is said today that this
new weapon may not be used until the
President is convinced that present
negotiations with the British foreign Of
fee relative to the existing censorship
have failed.

maine PROGRESSIVES
REJOIN REPUBLICANS
New York Editorial Comment on Else-
ton Recognizes Fact.
CBy the IpterpatIonaI New. service.

CBy the International News seryiee,l
New York, Sept. I2.-Follewing are
some Of the editorial comments Of
New York newspapers on the result
of the election In Maine:
World-Neither Democrats nor Re-
publicans have much to brag about In
the results of the Maine election. 1t
was inevitable that Maine would go
Republican. II Maine is a barometer
of the national election, the national
election Is still on the knees Of the gods.
1t is evident the Democrats have OBJ
tained a percentage of the Progressive
vote vote, which, II they can hold it.,
is large enough to turn the scale in
the national election.
Times-If the State election in Maine
were really a barometer showing how
the Presidential election was going,
| history would be different, Hayes
would have been elected by land
slide in 1876, instead Of by q disputed
vote, Hancock would have become
President instead of Garfield in 1880,
Blaine and not Cleveland. would have
been elected in 1884. and Bryan would
have DEBATED Taft overwhelmingly in
1908. 1t is plain that Roosevelt carried
most of the Progressives with him into
the Republican camp. The vote in
Maine does not decide Presidential
eleCtlOnS ana, save III NEdlS,
is no great indication of their de-
cisien. Such comfort as this election
does give. however, is, Republican COM
fort.
Sun-The returns indicate that the
Republicans and former ProgTessives
of Maine came together in a wave that
closed over the Democratic hopes of
a victory in September" Such analysis
of the vote as could be made at this
time shows that the Republicans of
Maine, split so badly in 1912 that Taft
ran third, came together yesterday
smoothly and solidly.
Tribune-The returns so far received
give the Republican candidate for gov
eTnoT a larger vote than the combined
vote two years ago for the Republican
and Progressive candidates, while the
Democratic nominee ran behind his
own vote of 1914. II Names vote truly
represents conditions throughout the
country, Mr.. Wilson's chances of re-
election have become almost negligible.
Herald-Maine has gone Republican
and under circumstances and conditions
seeming to make 1t certain that the
six electoral votes of the State will
be found in the Hughes column in
November And yet yesterdays result
contains nothing to warrant extreme
confidence on the part ot the Republi-
cans that 1916 will see a VeTification of
the old adage, "as Maine goes, so goes
the Union" The victory Is a substan
tial one but the hoped-for landslide
is absent

To Help Nature Shed
a Bad Complexion

Beauty devotees are enthusiastic over
the beautifying qualities of mercolized
wax. Nothing discovered within recent
years aeeomplishes so much, so quickly,
without harm, at such small expense.
The principal reason for its wonderful
merit is that it works in harmony with
physiological laws Instead Of hiding
complexion defects, it removes them. 1t
actually takes off the aged, faded. sallow.
treekled or blotchy surface skin, gently,
gradually, causing no inconvenience. 1t Is
Mature's way Of renewing compilations.
When the natural process Is retarded be-
cause of deficient circulation or nerve
tone, mercolized wax comes to the rescue
and hastens the skin shedding. The new
complexion which appears is a natural
one, youthful, healthy. exquisitely beau
tiful. II you've never tried mercolized
wax, get an ounce of II at the drug store,

OF powdered saxolite in half-pint witch

FOOD DICTATORS rule
RESENTED BY GERMANS
Restrictions Imposed Despite Is Per
Cent Crop Increase.

Berlin, Sept. 12.=The German people are
becoming more and mere dissatisfied
with the new government food DEPART
ment.
The optimistic statements Of Herr Won
Batoekt, the new food dictator" about
the food outlook led people to believe that
by fall conditions would be greatly im-
proved. But instead Of becoming more
plentiful, food supplies are becoming
more and more organized until within a
short time, IL the distribution Of cards
is continued, food will be on an abso-
lutte ration basis.
At present each family Is entitled to
eight different kinds of food cards. They
are for bread, potatoes, sugar, fats, milk,
meat, eggs and one for certain dried
vegetables, saccharine and oatmeal. Be-
cause Of the growing shortage of mar
malade and cheese two more cards may
be added to the list.
The lack of sugar, tin and rubber has
prevented many families from doing
their own canning, and has had a big
effect on the canning factories. The fac
tories are using saecharine for sweeten-
ing.
This years harvest was about Is per
cent better than last years, making It
normal peace time harvest. Because
OF the necessity Of creating a surplus in
case next years harvest is not so good.
no more wheat and oats will be available
for present consumption than in the past
few months, according to present plans.
The Socialists and some OF the news
papers are beginning to cFitieise the food
department. The papers are critieising
the handling Of the potato supply.
Many rich people ge on long vacations

and ether BavaTian cities said to have

leave the spot, and Anderson said last
night that Grinder, in response to a Dues
ton as to who shot the girl, remarked
that his gun went on
George Boyer, a passing autoist, rushed
the girl to the hospital, without waiting
for the ambulance. Not until Boyer had
driven of, witnesses say, did Grinder
leave the neighborhood.
Hansen. who rode to the hospital with
the wounded girl, questioned her. He
says he asked her IL there had been a
quarrel with Grinder and the girl said
she didn't know.
The girl also didn't know, 1t is said,
whether there had been angry words
between them prior to the shooting.

Mrs. Young said last night that the
girl had left the house about half an
hour before the shooting occurred Her
granddaughter and young Grinder had
known each other since their childhood
days, she said, having been schoolma tes
together.
According to Mrs. Young. her grand
daughter did not care for Grinder. This
is believed to have caused the trouble.

WALL Street MAKES
few ELECTION WAGERS
Plenty Of Money, But Election Causes
Little Interest.

New York. Sept I2.-Where are the
gamblers of yesteryesrF
Where is the Wall Street crowd that
used to walk into Fred SchUmm's and
bet $1,000 at a crack on the respective
chances Of the Presidential candidates
while they were taking a little something
or the side?
The campaign has progressed this year
with probably fewer wsgers than have
ever been noted in any Presidential eisc-
tion for two decades or more. In fact,
the general election is being viewed with
surprising Indifference in Wall Street
II isn't a case OF ones afraid and the
other dare not, because heretofore the
closer the race the bigger the bets.
1t isn't because there iG no money
about because Wall Street strong boxes
are bulging.
"Whst's the matter with the betting
money this year," a weII-known betting
broker was asked yesterday.
Il don't know. who's pitching for the
Giants this afternoon" he replied.
There was q report yesterday that
$4,000 was in the hands Of a man con-
nected with a well-known brokerage
house TO bet even on Wilson. The re-
port caused considerable excitement on
the curb but when it was run down IL
was found 10 be without substance.

SHRINKING" Behind
CONGRESS, SAYSLEAGUE
Claim MilIionaire's Answer to Suit
Shows Cowardice.

The Navy League issued long state
ment yesterday referring to the answer
filed Monday by Henry Ford to the
Leagues 10000 libel suit against him,
Part of IL reads:
The League is not surprised that so
unmilitant an individual should demon
strate his coWardiCe by thus attempting
to shield himself behind a Congressman,
who is in turn shielded by the privilege
of the House Of Representatives on the
floor of which statements either true
or false may be made with impunity."
Representative Clyde H. TsyenneT, OF
Illinois, is the Congressman referred to.
The League says that Mr.. Ford failed,
however. to attribute many OF his other
libelous statements to Congressman
and is thus personally responsible. The
League also says it could have got Mr.
Ford directly within Jurisdiction by filing
duplicate suits in other cities than Wash

clared, in approving the training camps,

in connection with his condemnation OF

Hughes repeated his charges Of ex-
udNdsduSs anu lHCoIhpebeHCy against the

of the Mexican policy, and denounced the
failure to establish a budget system.
In his vigor he became specific. Dis
cussing business efficiency, he declared:
Il propose that If we are invested with
