ACTUAL BLOCKADE WOULD
SOLVE COMMERCE ISSUES

Washington, Jan. Reinforcement
by Great Britain of an actual blockade
of the Teutonic powers would in the
opinion of officials here, remove from
the field of controversy, several inter
national factors which have led to
much diplomatic correspondence and
much misunderstanding on the part
of the pubic.
One of these is the question that
now remains unanswered as to the
right of neutral state to ship to Ger
many or her allies any goods not con
traband of war, Once blockade was
declared, there could be no legal Ques-
tion of the right of the blockading
fleet to keep everything out of the
enemy's ports.
All doubt as to the application of the
doctrine of ultimate destination also
might be removed so far as it concerns
goods destined for Germany through
a neutral state.
On the other hand, declaration of II
blockade would not warrant officials
believe, interference with America S
trade with neutral European states,
provided the goods were not consigned
ultimately to Germany or Austria. IN
der the orders-in-counci such goods
are now being detained and comman-
deered.
The forthcoming American note to
Great Britain on contraband will vigor-
ously assert the right of neutral states
to trade unmolested among them
selves and the prospective change in
the British policy is not expected to
modify in any wise that stand.
SO far the state department has had
no official information regarding the
reported purpose of Great Britain to
abandon the orders-in-counci in favor
Of the blockade.

is to employ all possible means to
render the conilagration less painful
to humanity. If the pope were pres
ent at a peace congress his adhesion
TO the treaty would bind the Goa
science of all Catholic subjects oi
the contracting nations, making It
more difficult fer any government to
break the agreement.
The pope, it asserts, does not count
upon the European conflict for the So
luton of the Roman question, which,
as Cardinal Gasparri said, will not
be settled by force of arms.

Gift for the Invalid.

The china painter will be interest ed
in very useful cereal set designed
for an invalid and fitting compactly
and safely together into one. On the
bottom is gracefully shaped. shallow
bowl with a handle at each side and n
cover to keep the contents hot. The
cream pitcher fits into a circular ridge
at the top of this cover, and the little
sugar dish fits very closely into the
top of the cream pitcher. The set
thus takes very little space on the
tray, in spite of its four stories and
may be made very ornamental by a
pretty border.

Beautiful European City.

Agram, in Croatia, is one OF the
most popular cities in Europe, because
years ago its public-spirited citizens
got behind a movement and carried
out a plan for an extensive park.
The city has population Of only
about 100000 persons, but everywhere
it is known and spoken OF as the city
OF beautiful parks. Few persons pass
through on train that do not return.
They are drawn back by reason OF
the beauty of the park. The city
spent more than one million dollars
to set it off properly"

Every Woman Wants

a little vague. One story has it that
Haskell gripped his driver and said:
Goodbye, little ball. | never CX'
pect to see thee more, alas.'
Another version is that Haskell
shed a few tears and remarked:
I'm going to hit this thing 50 far
that it'll take a dollar and siXty-nine
cents to send it a card by parcels
post" but inasmuch as the parcels
posi- system had not been installed
then, the latter remark has been dis.
credited by some.
At any rate, Haskell went through
all the preliminary motions and fin
ally hit the ball.
Here again authorities differ. Some
say he topped it; others declare he
sliced it so terrifcally that if he had
swung a little harder It would have
come back, like a boomerang, after
having described complete circle.
It is generally agreed, however that
the ball covered more ground than
any ball Haskell had ever hit before.
Golfers who watched the first demon
stratiOn were enthusiastic.
Ball Patented.
Within a few months the patent
was obtained, and the manufacture
of the new ball began. From the very
first, the Haskell balls were eXpen-
sive, costing one-third to one-half
more than the gutta percha balls.
Wealthy players thus had substan-
tial handicap over those Of moder-
ate means who had been accustomed
to paying 50 and so cents, and who
couldn't bring themselves to the point
of Earring loose another quarter for
one of those "new-fangled contrap-
tions." Even if a rubber core ball
went a few yards further on the
drive, they figured they could over
come that handicap by improving
their mashie play, and dropping 'em
dead on their second or third shots.
But the users of the Haskell ball
apparently improved their mashie
play, too, for the records soon showed
that nearly all the tournaments were
won by players who used the rubber
core sphere. When it became appar-
ent that the solid gutta percha ball
was no match for the new "contrap-
tion," the golf ball industry under
went a great change. The large
manufacturers bought the right to
the new ball, and for II
paid Haskell a substantial royalty.
In some instances, it is said, this
royalty has amounted to 10 cents a
ball. An average royalty of 81 a
dozen has been paid to Haskell for
every high-grade ball manufactured
under this patent.

How to Converse With Authors.

/ have learned, says a writer in the
Atlantic Monthly, that in conversations
with authors there should be long
pauses. This is because every remark,
after being received by the ear, must
be submitted to a strict brain analy-
sis, and then given soul bath before
it is proper to venture a reply.
have found, also, that in answering

POPE HAS NEW PLAN
IN EFFORT FOR PEACE

Rome, Jan. 16.-There is a general
belief in vatican circles that the
pope will deliver another important
allocution about war in the consistory
at the end of February.
1t is considered certain that the
pontiff will call the consistory either
for the end of February or shortly
afterward to impose red hats upon
newly created cardinals-Scapanelli
and Fruhwith, nuncios at Vienna and
Munich respectively, who will leave
their post, being replaced, according
to present reports at Vienna, by Mon
signor Locatelli, now internuncio at
Munich by Monsignor Aversa, now
internuncio for Brazil.
Rome, Jan. 16.-"The holy see did
nothing up to today, either directly
to solicit from either group of bel
ligerents any invitation to partici-
pate or preside at peace CONFER
ence." says the Catholic organ Cor
riere D'Itale, in an article evidently
inspired by the vatican.
Both groups of belligerents, the
paper adds, thus far intend to be
completely victorious debating condi-
tions of peace outside of any extran-
eous necessity. The aim of the pope

lation of the inscription is as follows !:
Eight Goths and twenty two Nor
wegians upon an exploring journey
from Vinland very far west. We had

ney North from this stone. We were
fishing one day. When we returned

ten men by the sea to look after our

from this island. Year 1862"
t'The genuineness of the runestore
was attached by some, among them
Rasmus B. Anderson. The theory
advanced by others is that Norwe-
gians, after discovering and estab-
fishing settlements in Iceland, Green
land and Labrador used them as
bases for other exploring expeditions,
which led into Hudson Bay whose
shores they followed to the southwark
possibly expecting to skirt continent
to the west. Upon reaching the
lowest point of Hudson Bay being dis
appointed in finding the shore again
curving to the north they left their
ships in the care of ten men and went
up the Nelson river, and through Lake
Winnipeg and thence down the Red
River valley.
cit will also be recalled that in
1907, while excavating on the State
Experimental farm at Crookston, a
depth of six feet, buried in solid clay.
an anchor was found similar to the
ship anchors used by the Norsemen
about nine centuries ago. This anchor
weighed about twenty five or thirty
pounds, and the theory was advanced
that it had been lost during the era
that the entire Red River valley was
a portion of Lake Winnipeg and when
ships could sail from the Atlantic to
this section of = the country. Left
Erickson left party of sixty when he
touched the coast of North America,
and it was thought possible that the
anchor is relic of the little band
he left, as nothing was ever heard
of them afterwards.
cit is therefore not unreasonable or
fanciful to incline to the belief that
