England's Reply to U. S. Pro-
test is Made PubIic--Pleads
Military Necessity.
APPLIES TO BRITISH ONLY
Denies Rights Of Neutral Trad
ers Ruthlessly Can
celled.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The Bri-
fish reply to the latest American note
protesting against the trade blacklist
made public by the state department
denies the rights of neutral traders
under international law have been
ruthlessly cancelled, denies the black
list measur as a municipal regulation
plainly concerning only the British
government and British citizens and
contends that it is designed to shorten
the war.
The note fails to meet the American
demand that the names of American
firms be stricken from the blacklist,
but it attempts to convince the state
department that the British position
lis just and founded on law. 1t leaves
open the door for further negotiation,
which is expected to follow.

Yesterday.
NO MORE THIS SEASON
Good Results Still Being Felt
From The Other Trips
Taken.

A final conference yesterday after
noon resulted in the permanent
of the Booster trip to
Princeton and other towns set for to-
day, and there will be no more Of
these trips this season.
The cold weather made il inadvisa-
BILE to attempt the trip planned and
as there is no likelihood of any suita-
bic weather this fall for a period long
enough to be advertised in advance,
it was decided to go into winter
quarters.
There is no doubt that much good
was done by the three trips takenand
good results are still being felt

OPEN SEASON
IS NOW ON
Fields Full OF Hunters and
Sport Expected to be
Fine on Start.

The open season for hunting small
game began yesterday and it will be
lawful to shoot quail, rabbits and
squirrels until Jan. /, in Kentucky.
Several changes have been made in
the hunting laws this year, most
noticeable of which is the bag limit of
twelve birds per day for each hunter.
Another change is the one made in
the United States Federal laws gov
erning the shooting of migratory
birds, so that Kentucky hunters may
shoot wild duck, geese and snipe at
this season of the year.
The Federal laws formerly gave
hunters in this state an open season
for hunting these birds at a time
when no geese or ducks were in the
state. Ducks and geese may now be
shot until January Is, but the open
season on snlpe closes December Is.
Every hunter, unless he be hunting
on his own land or the land of neigh
bors, must have hunting license and
must carry it with him when he goes
in the field. Game wardens have
been instructed to enforce the license
law and will be hunting hunters who
seek to evade this law. Licenses
may be obtained by Kentucky hunters
Upon payment of 81 each at the Coun-
y Clerks Office. Game is reported |
quite plentiful in this section. 4 .,.ly

After THE PARADE.

Some of the old-timers still insist
that the big Cleveland blowout in
1884 was bigger than this one.
The parade was more than mile
long. The tail of it was cut off by a
train on 9TH street while the head was
passing the Baptist church.
Nobody seems to know how many
autos were in the parade, as it was
too big for one man TO see it all.
Lucian Davis make up as Uncle
Sam made big hit.
NJ. N. Smotherman as Teddy Roose-
welt teeth and all, rode mule and
played a star role.
Geo. Boren as President Wilson
stood up in an auto, costumed to fit
his part, and bowed to the cheering
! rOwdS.
w. L. Gore and many assistant
marshalS had their hands full keeping
the line moving.
After the parade, although it was
drilling, 1000 or more people went
to Virginia Park, where short speech
eS were made by j. B. Allensworth,
L. E. Foster, Jno. T. King, of Cadizi
Walter Knight and Vego Barnes.
Summers Cooper's burlesque band
attracted as much attention as the ex'
jcellent brass band from Russellville
Bethel WOman's College had AZ
girls in the big omnibus from the
State Hospital.
A bunch of High School girls filled
one of the big trucks and had as much
fun as the boys.
! Lafayette sent big delegation il
( automobiles and on horseback. 4
majority of 40 gave them a right t.
feel good.
The weather clerk kindly held of
the rain until oclcck and the parade
was over.
