fit Status OF Neutral Shippers.
London, Feb. decentralization OF
the question Of the treatment Of neu-
tral shippers raised by the American
notes to Great Britain has reached an
advanced stage with prospects Of i'm
portant notifications designed to
benefit the status of neutral shippers
and which, 1t is believed, will give sat
isfaction to those who are making the
chief complaint, 1t has been learned
by the Associated Press.
Under tic 4xs--esent system when
cargoes Of perishable goods are seized
the goods are sold and the proceeds
returned to the shipper in case he es-
tablishes the bona fide character Of the
shipment. The shipper, however, pays
the expense of detention, port dues,
etc, and the amount returned to the
shippers Is thus eaten up by charges,
notwithstanding that the bona fide
character Of the shipment has been
established.
The changes will protect neutral
shippers from charges and In case the
cargoes are detained or subjected to
foSs the shipper Will be given an In
demhity.

"Circunlstantial evidence may be as
convincing as direct evidence" said
Judge Applegate. In making his charge
Human experience shows that wit

tify falsely or inaccurately. Circum-
stances. however, are not Inaccurate
and they do not falsify." ..

Allies to Confer
Over Political
Aspects of Wa,

London, Feb. 15.--A general con-
ference of the allies In Paris to
consider all political aspects OF the
war is to be held. Announcement
to this effect was made In the
house Of commons today by Pre-
mler Asquith.
Premier Asquith's statement was
made In the course of an address
in the house of commons In con-
nection with the opening Of par
lament.
The premier stated that the sit
uation of the British forces In
Mesopotamia, which has been a
source of concern, had improved
materially, and that General
Townsend, whose army Is sur
rounded by the Turks at Kut-El-
Amara, was holding his own.
The premier thought there was
every ground for hoping the forces
of General Townsend and General
Aylmer, commander Of the RELIEF
expedition, might unite and that
everything in the nature OF SER
ious British check might be
ayerted.
He announced that the govern.
ment was now taking stock OF all
it's munitions, men, finances and
industrial reserves, so as to be In
a position to put forth, its maxi
mum strength.
