Britain Has a New Plan for
the Treatment Of
Shippers
/ is HELPED BY
AMERICAN NOTES
Notifications Will Give Sat
isfaction to Those Max
ing Chief Complaint

London, Feb. Reconsideration of the
question of the treatment of neutral
shippers raised by the American notes
to Great Britain has reached an advanced
stage, with the prospect of important
modification designed to benefit the sta
tus of neutral shippers and which il is
believed, will give satisfaction to those
who are making the chief complaint, it
has been learned by the Associated Press.
Under the present system, when car
goes of perishable goods are seized, the
goods are sold and the proceeds after
wards returned TO the shipper in case
he establishes the bona fide character OF
the shipment. But deductions are made
from the proceeds so that the shippers
pays the expense of detention, port dues,
demurrage, etc, and the amount returned
to the shipper is thus eaten up by
charges notwithstanding that the bona
fide character of the shipment has been
established.
The new principle under consideration
and likely to be applied will protect neu-
trail shippers from charges and in case
the cargoes are detained or subjected to
loss the shipper will be given an indem-
nifty placing him in as good a position
as though there was no interruption to
the shipment. If there is loss due to
mistaken seizures it will be borne by the
government instead of by the neutral
shipper, and an indemnity viii be given
for interrupted voyage.
Aside from this main feature in the
change there also viii be a
system of fines and checks designed to
warn shippers to observe complete good
faith in making shipments. The modi-
fications are along the lines of practice
Of one OF the continental entente allies,
which gives indemnity when a cargo Of
4 neutral shipper is mistakenly seized,
and they are the result of an exchange
IF views between Great Britain and her
allies concerning the position to be taken
rs result of the American notes.
Those familiar with the negotiations
say the general spirit of the entente al |
les system will be to reduce the diff. |
,ulties OF neutral bona fide shipments to
/ minimum and to increase the difficult |
les OF Teutonie shipments to a maxi |
num- while at the same time providing |
to compensate doubtful cases |
between these extremes.

BISBEE TROUNCES DOUGLAS IN TURKEY
 DAY GAME 8 ID 0
2 Thousand Spectators Wit ness Clash at Smelter City Between Opposing High School Elevens.

Before a crowd of fully 2,000 school boys and girls, soldiers and civilians, the Bisbee high school team yester- day romped away from the Douglas high school squad, to 0, in the an nual Thanksgiving day game at Camp Harry J. Jones park, Douglas. As the result there was hardly a boy Or girl Tn Douglas last night who was not look ing dazed and oowncast, and, to use a slangy term, wondering what it was all about"
 There is no doubt but what Douglas went into the struggle with only one idea-that it was impossible for Bis bee ro win, and when this idea was proven wrong the misery and omiuou5 silence that prevailed over the Doug las bleachers described better than words just how the Douglas rooters felt about it. The Bisbee crowd went nome as proud as ii it had elected a president; the soldiers sauntered back to their camps with the feeling that, after all, "hi'' school kids do know a little about football, and civilians left after having enjoyed the struggle i'm nIensely, but the Douglas rOoters went home looking as if they had lost their last friends.
 Bisbee Is Heavier
 The game was a bear" from start to finish. The Bisbee boys were heavier, faster and worked together better than the Douglas squad. Their trick plays had been carefully prac- ticed and were worked frequently with good effect. Their quarterback was "heady" and when he saw that a line back play was proving a failure he knew just when to adopt new tactics. The Douglas boys were kept guessing most of the time. For some mysteri- ous reason the Douglas boys took liking to line-buck and center rushes," although the only times they made good on these plays were when they were showed throui h Bisbee's right line, which was trffie shaky. But in the main the line-bucks accomplished little. Had Douglas resorted more to passes when it had the ball during the last few minutes of the game, Douglas might have scored, for almost every time a pass was tried during the last period it netted a good gain, and every time a line-buck was used it resulted in but trifiing gain, if any at all.
 Bisbee started off fast from the start and ran the ball down the field to Douglas 20-ysrd line in a few minutes. A ield-goal kick was tried but failed. Then Douglas took the ball and the excitement was on. Twice, in passing the ball back for a pass or punt, the Douglas center tossed it over the head of the back for whom it was intended. After Bisbee scored two points on safety, the locals woke up and began to play with more precision
