unnecessary to take such action at
this stage of the negotiations when II
| is hoped that a firm statement of the
general principle of international law
in the case will cause a reconsidera :
ton by the Allies. If the present note
meets with an unsatisfactory response
lit is admitted that very different sit
uation will be developed. The allied
embassies are deeply concerned over
the resentment by the Washington
! government and are taking unusual
care to keep their governments fully

that this informal action by the dip
lomatic representatives on the ground
will go far toward influencing a
| change of attitude on the other side.
| Early replies to the American notes
are expected owing to the fact that
Count Tarnowiski is scheduled to sail
from Rotterdam on the Dutsch steam
er New Amsterdam Dec. Is.
! Should the replies prove unfavor-
able the United States might send a
formal note notifying the Allies to dis
turb the Austrian envoy at their own
risk, or it might be decided to send an
American merchantmen or warship TO
some neutral port to receive the am
bassador and bring him across the
Atlantic.

would prove of invaluable assistance.
In speaking of the existing radio sets,
the report says nine OF the cutters In
service are equipped with obsolete appar-
atus because of lack of funds although
Congress has required all merchant sea
goers to install auxiliary apparatus. To
put the 1900 miles of telephone and cable
lines owned by the service in good con-

connect stations in out of the way points

Owing to increased difficulty in securing
engineer officers, a recommendation Is
made for the combination by law OF the

saved from peril or death by the guard
and vessels valued at O.509655 assisted.

What the socialists used to preach about "cosmopolitanism" - which of course is not the theory of | this column-is at a discount A new development, in connection with the boycott on enemy firms" even those ! in America whose headquarters are in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria or | Turkey, is reported by the London Mail:
 There was consternation among the large alien population east of Aldgate Pump when news got around of gov ernment decision that men of the all lied nations of fighting age must eith- CT join the British Army or go home to their country or origin.
 q should estimate that there are over 5000 good fighting men among the aliens of the East End" said a man who knows that district we'll. The Poles. Lithuanians and all the other races classed as Russian pre- dominate These men have had the time of their lives since the war. Big government contracts have been dealt with in the east end. and. as taylors and bootmakers, these men have nev- CT before earned such wages, many also work as barbers, and as barmen. You should see the jewelry flashing along the Mile-end road and Commer- cial road at the week-endi"
 The new order fell like bombshell on the young Russian Jews, who have been at great pains lately to establish their Russian nationality. 4 White chapel man with considerable exper- fence of alien immigration said, Many families came here from Rus sia in the years before the war with the idea of escaping military service. The father naturalized himself as a British subject after a time. By that act all his children become British subjects until they reached the age  of 21, when they are free to choose what they will be. When the military service act came into force a large number of the young men decided it was more comfortable to shed their British nationality They hurried of to their consulates and by paying var ious fees established themselves as of alien nationality. Now they are on the horns of a dilemma. It Is fight or go!"
 Tt is a step that was long over due" said British resident of Step- ney. We have long watched over young men going of to the war in hundreds and the alien job-snatchers left"
