American citizens life of late had
scarcely enjoyed the consideration
accorded that of turkey buzzard in

Security league convention.
Secretary Daniels program is weak
and insufficient for the needs of the
country, and it must be borne in mind
that the navy he recommends will not
be built under his plans till the expir-
alton of 10 years." said President S.
Stanwood Metken in his opening ad-
dress. "If we need a navy at all, We
need it now.
THE present congressional situa-
ton is particularly menacing," he
continued, owing to the fact that the
majority leader of the house Is OPP
posed to the recommendation Of the
chief magistrate and finds support in
the position taken by William j. Bry-

his supporters, is based on sentiment.

Hoke Smith in the Senate
Voices Vigorous Protest
Against Action.
Is VIOLATION OF LAW
Georgia Senator Declares
Measure Is Breach Of
international Rules.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 90
Great Britain's interference with
neutral trade was the subject of Wig
orous speech in the senate today by
Senator Hoke Smith Of Georgia, who
pleaded for action to prevent England
from advancing her own trade at the
expense of the United States while at
tempting to destroy Germany CONNER
cially. He declared that the rights of
citizens Of the United States and other
neutral nations were being recklessly
idisregarded, and emphasized particu-
larly what he denounced as Great Brit
aims lawless treatment of Americas
cotton trade.
Discussing the action of the allies in
proclaiming cotton as contraband, the
senator asserted that cotton had not
been needed by Germany or her allies
in the manufacture of war munitios
for more than eight months. He quot
ed from statement prepared for him
by Howard w. Bible, now in Washing
ton after a trip to Germany, who re-.
fported that Germany had developed a
process for using wood pulp as
cheaper and more effective substitute
for cotton in the manufacture Of ex-
plosives.
Reviews History of Case.
Senator Smith reviewed the whole
history of interference with trade and
diplomatic exchanges on the subject.
He called silly and untrue statements
that the United States made cotton
contraband during the Civil war, de-
claring that only once before in his
tory-in the Russo-Japanese war-had
cotton been declared contraband, and
Russia promptly gave way in the face
of a protest from Great Britain that
the action was illegal British au-
thorities were quoted also to prove
that under international law no food
stuffs are subject to seizure only when
actually consigned to the armed forces
of an enemy.
Action Urged.
Shall we continue to furnish Great
Britain what she is compelled to OBJ
tain from the United States while the
commercial rights of citizens of this
country are trampled under foot?"
asked the senator. Great Britain
cannot continue the war without NUM-
tons from the United States, Great
Britain cannot feed her population
without foodstuffs from the United
States and other neutrals. Great Brit
ain cannot keep her million and half
engaged in the mills and work 60 days
without cotton from the United States.
Great Britain cannot accomplish
her scheme for worldwide domino
ton of commerce in her vast products
of cotton manufacture fabrics without
cotton from the United States.
THE congress of the United States
slept over the right of shippers of
foodstuffs last winter. This was, per-
haps, because the prices were good,
perhaps because we did not investi-
gate the subject. The lawlessness of
Great Britain has increased greatly
during the past IL months. Each day
brings new evidence of disregard for
neutral rights.
"Paraphrasing the language Of Mr.
jefferson, England may feel the desire
of absorbing the comemrce of Ger
many and of starving her people, but
she has no right of doing it at our loss
or of making us the instrument Of It,"

CARRANZA OF THE CLOVEN HOOP

When Carranza came into power in Mexico there
was considerable unrestrained JOY on the part of that ee-
ment in this country that had been gloOming and gr1ttlng
its teeth because OF the treatment of the MaderO family
BY the wicked MIR. Huerta. 1t was inferred that the Ma
deros would again come into power and that all would
be we'll with them. But it appears that the reverse is
true. Instead of being restored to honor they have been
obliged to fly the country and their vast estates, secure
to them during the HIuerta regime, have been ruth1essly
confiscated bv the avaricious Carranza. Yet Carranza
owes his whole success to the Madero family. 1t was
President Madero who gave him his start and 1t was the
relatives of this illfated man who financed the early
stages of the Carranza revolution against Huerta. Be
cause he abused their confidence, however, and mlsappl1ed
their funds, they finally ceased their contributions and
held aloof from him, according the support they cont1n-
ued to give the revolution through Gen. Villa. This has
furnished Carranza a pretext for despoll1ng his benetac-
tors, and, stripped of their immense fortunes, they are
now fugitives in the United States. His own people hate
him, recognizing his weaknesses and his base 1ngrat1tude,
and he is now beset by half a dozen revolutions, a coun-
try impoverished and anarchy-ridden. and has a support
that is loval only as it sees material advantage inuring
lhe1eirom.

SENSATIONAL RISE OF QUICKSILVER

Prices for quicksilver exhibit what may be called a
mercurial temperament. From $50 at the END u i'e-
cember the quotation has risen to $500 per flask. Fart
of this is, we believe, fictitious, but S275 has been PAID
and is being paid for quicksilver in San Francisco. Inc
price in London is about $50. which is a discrepancy eN--
n1ained BY differences of time and transport. IN regard
TO the increased quotation. we believe 1t to be due largely
70 the demand for the illuminate of mercury, which is re
uuired for the manufacture OF caps and detonatorS III
shells and CARTRIDGES. Even in normal times nearly one
third. saw 5000 TASKS of mercury, goes to the manufac~
turers of the b1asting-caps used in mining ana quarry1'g,
Another use is in floating mines, to establish an electric
contact when the mine leans to one side, as when struck
bv a vessel. Some of the material is required for electric
app1iances. but the use with which the miner chiefly as
sociates quicksilver, namely, amaleamation, has decrease"
greatly in consequence Of the Introduction OF other nro-
cesses and the greater economy in the use OF quicksilver
in such amalpamation as survives. Nowadays only IS
600 to $1,000 pounds. say 1900 TASKS. is diverted to TINS
purpose. For silverine mirrors, it is usual now to employ
the nitrates Of silver in preference to mercury. An m
tensified consumption of the bi-chloride of mercury as an
antiseptic in another consequence of the war. we tGoc
to ascertain details concerning the present demand, WHICH,
rs vet. has bothered the manufacturer and the m1ll-nl' -
more than it has benefited the mining of metaL-Mm1ng
