Serious Losses Threatened.

Great Britain's detention of Ameri-
can tobacco shipments may cause. heavy
losses to members Of the trade In this
country unless a modification of the
British ruling can be obtained. The
State Department already has msde In
formal representations, and officials
hope to be able to clear up the mis-
understanding to the satisfaction of
American interests
In addition to the consignments re-
ported held in London. American to-
bacco valued at more than $l,500.0 600 is
detained aboard British ships and in
charge that its shipment violated the
shipping arrangement.
The regulation which stopped Ameri-
can tobacco shipments was issued July
10 by the British trade department.
under general authority.of the orders
In council. 1t prohibited the importa-
tion of tobacco to Germany or to Ger
man dealers in countries contiguous to
Germany.
a serious disruption to the American
tobacco industry resulted. and the State
Department finally secured an agree
ment under which all tobacco bought
shipped before August 80 was to be
admitted to Denmark and other neutral
European countries.
A large quantity of American tobacco
at once was released. Most Of 1t had
reached European ports when 1t de-
yeloped that Great Britain interpreted
the agreement to apply. not to trans
actions in this country, but to final
transactions in Europe.

yesterday reduced temperature greatly
and District Of Columbia troops shivered
last night for the first time since arriving

sweaters this morning. Mud, which has
prevented drills since arrival, is still bad.
but drills probably will be resumed to-
day.
District troops are demonstrating to
other soldiers here that instead Of being
White House pets" they are terriers" A
cavalryman of the regular army attempted
to pass through a line guarded by Private
John C. Bishop of Company H early this
morning, and when halted attempted to
assault him. Finding he had met more
than his match the regular broke away
and ran down the company street. Cook

caught him. When the cavalryman was

missing and he bore other scars OF con-

BRITISH NOW HOLDING
+ Up AMERICAN TOBACCO
Allegation Made That Shipments
Failed to Comply With New
Regulation.

LONDON, October 18.-Large con-
signments OF tobacco from the United
States for Dutch and Scandinavian
ports are being held here on the claim
Of the government that they fail to
comply with the recent arrangement
under which cargoes paid for before
August 4 and shipped prior to August
80 might proceed to neutral destina-
tons.
Many American tobacco shippers who
have their own representatives In En-
rope, with whom they do a wholesale
business, shipped to them under the
impression that the new order would
permit such action. The government.
however. contends that proof must be
furnished that the cargoes were paid
for before August 4 by the actual Eu-
ropean buyers.
