siderable noise.

BLACKLIST HELD
TO Be JUSTIFIED
BRITISH ANSWER TO AMERICAN
NOTE OF PROTEST REGARDED
AS UNSATISFACTORY.
Measure Defended as Proper MunltIop
Regulation Concerning Only Brit

to Shorten War.

Washington.-The British reply to
the latest American note protesting
against the trade blacklist, made pub
lie Tuesday night by the state depart
ment, denies that rights Of neutral
traders under international law have
been ruthlessIy cancelled, defines the
blacklist measure as a munition regu-
Eation plainly concerning only the
British government and British citi-
zens and contends that 1t is designed
to shorten the war.
The note fails to meet the Ameri-
can demand that the names of Amer
lean firms be stricken from the black
list, but attepts to convince the state
department that the British position
is just and founded on law. 1t leaves
open the door for further negotiation,
which is expected to follow.
The note was subscribed by Wis
count Grey, the British foreign minis
| ter, and was addressed to and trans
mitted by Walter Hines Page, the
American ambassador at London.
A part which attracted much Off
cial notice dealt with the subject OF
peace, based on the theory that one
American contention had been thai
there exists no military necessity fol
the blacklist; that it is unnecessary
for the allies to prejudice neutral com
merce, and that nothing which nap
pens In distant neutral countries car
influence the result of the great con
fiict.
IF that really were the position.
says the note, ut is possible that tn
measures taken by his maiesty's gov
eminent might be described as vi

wish that it were so. Even thong
the military situation of the allies ha
greatly improved, there Is still a lon
and bitter struggle in front of then
and one which in justice to the primo
pies for which they are fighting in
poses upon them the duty of emplo.

WILSON WINS ON
FACE OF RETURNS
HAS 276 VOTES IN ELECTORAL
COLLEGE ACCORDING TO
LATEST REPORTS.
Senate and House Will Be Democratic
According to Latest Figures, Al
though the Vote win be
Very Close.

New YOrk.-On the race OF the I'M
official returns, Woodrow Wilson and
Thomas r. Marshall are the choice
of the American voters for chief exec
utive officers of the nation for the
next four years, but the vote is SO
close in some states that the Repub-
lican leaders are of the opinion that
a recount may change the result.
President Wilson has won 276 votes
in the electoral college on the face
of the unofficial returns, which now
are nearly complete.
Unless this result should be upset
| by recounts, a remote possibility,
President Wilson will have a majority
OF twenty-one votes over Mr.. Hughes,
who is now credited with 243 votes by

Minnesota line up in the Republican
column, which seems possible, the
Republican candidate would have 255
votes.
The Democratic candidates carried
thirty states and the Republicans
seventeen, according to the figures al
hand.
1t Is possible that tabulation o.

show that the Republicans won sew

ported that two or three Of the higl
Republican candidates received NOR,
votes than the low Democratic candi

for the Republicans to obtain enough
electoral votes from this source alon
to give Hughes a majority.

London.-Attacking on a front o!

FRENCH EXPECT MORE HELP.

Exchange of Compliments.

ERSHGUHG u
London.-The Express features an
article in Mondays issue by a French
military writer, Capt. Philippe Mil
let, calling on Great Britain to take
over more of the western front and
relieve the French.
Captain Millet says 1t is necessary
to speak plainly, that the alliance OF
Great Britain and Frnce cannot be
based on a mere exchange of compli-
ments and that all Frenchmen are
wondering whether the English fully
realize what is happening to France.
He says the French recognize CRATE
fully what Great Britain has already
done, but feels that the time has come
for the British army to relieve the
French more efficiently.
The writer cites utterances Of
French deputies to support his claim
and remarks that the British are
holding only $50 kilometres of the
front compared to the French $50 kill
ometres. He adds:
There is not one village in France
where the people do not expect oul
| friends to enable US, after twenty
seven months hard struggle. to have
some rest during the third winter anC

BENEFACToR OF HUMAN RACE
Sir James Simpson Was the First
Physician to Use chIoroform In
Surgical Cases.

The recent death Of Sir Alexander
Simpson, the famous Edinburgh doc
tor, brings to mind the wonderful dis
covery of his uncle, Sir James Simp-
son, his predecessor as professor OF
midwifery in the chair of Edinburgh
university. Sir James, If not actually
the dIscoverer of chlorofOrm, was at
any rate, the first to introduce its en-
ployment as an anesthetlc into sur
Rical practice. This was In 1848.
Previously all operations were per-
formed without anesthetics, the pa
tent being drugged with whisky and
held down by strong men while the op-
GRAFTON was performed. No medical
discovery ever did more to alleviate
human suffering.
Sir James is generally given credit
for the actual discovery Of chloro-
form, but it is stated in some works
that 1t was discovered some years pre-
Hlous to his first experiments by an
American doctor named Guthrie and
by a Trench physician named Sou
beiran. In any case 1t was Doctor
Simpson who proved it's great value
as an anesthetic, and the room in
which he made his first experiment
still exists in Edinburgh.
The story goes that he tried the
chloroform on himself and two medi.
cal friends. They proved Its efficacy
by simultaneously falling beneath the
table. Sir James had considerable
prejudices to overcome before chloro
