ALLIES STICK CLOSE
ON TRADING WORK

LONDON, June 2".-The London
Chamber of Commerce at a recent
special meeting adopted resolutions
favoring reciprocal trading relations
between the British Empire and Allied
countries after the war; preferential!
reciprocal trading relations between
all parts of the British Empire; favor
able treatment of neutral nations; reg
ulation by tariff or otherwise of trade
relations, and for stimulating the de-
velopment of home manufacturers and
the consequent increased employment
c. native labor; and that steps should
be taken to prevent dumping land UNI
Ger valuation) of enemy goods into
British markets after the war.
1t was suggested that tentative
tariff Off five years on an ad valorel
basis might be applied, subject to nego-
.tiations with all parties concerned for
the settlement of scientific tariff with
special duties, if the latter should
eventually be considered preferable.
The Dominions should, however, be
left free to determine their fiscal rela
lions with Allied neutral and enemy"
countries unless it were agreed that
the Home and Dominion governments
should act together in the negotiations.
After consultation with various inter
ests a committee drew up a tentative
tariff the duties under which vary
from 80 per cent maximum to 10 per
cent maximum, ad valorem, for wholly
manufactured goods, to five per cent
maximum on raw foodstuffs (some
bein gadmitted free). Raw materials
would be exempt from duty. Alcoholic
drinks, tobacco and otherarticles now
subject to duties would bear an extra
fifty per cent when imported from
enemy countries and a substantial
duty would be imposed on German and
Austrian mineral waters.

''RLESSING THE CATCH. is
STILL CUSTOM IN FRANCE

PARIS, June 22-The ceremony Of
'the blessing of the catch" that pre-.
cedes each spring the departure of the
French cod-fishing fleets for Icelandic
aters and the bank of Newfoundland,
has lost none of it's interest or pic
turesqueness, though the fleets are con
s:derably diminished, on account of the
war.
The fleets of Fecamp, Paimpol, Saint
Malo, Cancale, Saint Servan and Gran
vile altogether are sending out about
100 vessels this year, as against 800
that composed the combined fleets be-
ORE the war. The steam trawlers
were nearly all requisitioned by the
government, and great many mem
bers of the crews were modified. This
year 5000 of these modified men have
been given leave from the army in
order to prevent the cod-fshing indus
try from declining to the point of dis
aster. The war has shown France the
importance of her fisheries, and al
ready ways and means of improving
their facilities after the war are being
discussed
While the cod catch will be greatly
interior to the average again this year,
there will be plenty of Cancale oysters

iIized men in the important annual
catch of seed oysters off the Breton
coast.
1t is really a mans work, for the

MORE ART WORK COMING
To AMERICA BECAUSE WAR

BERLIN, June 22.--The war will
probably lead to the further transfer
Of Europes art treasures to the United
States, in the opinion of Prof. Won
6oard, general director fthe Royal
Museum at Berlin. Prof. 1on Bode
gives several reasons; that the war is
making a great increase in the wealth
of many Americans; and that the
breaking up of several of the great
private collections in America, includ-
ing that of the late ]. P. Morgan, and
the acquisition of many of their
choicest pictures by public art mus
Gums will tend strongly to develop
the demand Off good art works. Prof.
Bode declares that in this way the
public collections of New York, Boston,
Washington and Chicago together
with dozens of cities not yet identi-
fed with art in an international sense,
will become equal to those of European
cities.
This fresh demand for art works in
the United States, Prof Bode says, will
strike Europe at time when people
on this side will be forced to sell in
order to get money to pay their debts.
Many fine old pictures now owned by
private collectors in Europe, and par
ticularly III England, will in this way
find their way across the Atlantic, he
thinks

BARON KATO
TELLS Of JAPS
FUTURE PLANS


Japanese people now regard as an i'm
portant political address, was deliver
ed recently by Baron TakaaM Kato,
former minister of foreign affairs, and
leader of the government Doshikai par
ty, at the inaugural meeting of the
Kioto branch Of his party. Abiding to
Japan's position in the present war
Baron Kato declared that in his opin-
ion the Anglo-J Japanese alliance must
remain the pillar of the nations di-
plomacy.
The speaker said that Japan would
gain a reasonable compensation in re-
turn for the part she has played in the
war, but he wished to emphasize that
Japan's position was different from
that of her allies in Europe, inasmucn
as Japan's activities have been re-
stricted to the orient The states
man warned his compatriots that
should they expect too much from the
peace conference they would be disap-
pointed.
Turning his attention to the recent
attacks on the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance, Baron Kato expressed his re-
grets that unfriendly comments should
have been made. 1t was certain, he
said, that they were confined to poll
ticians and lay academicians. What
the scholars voiced was the more Dan
gerous, he declared, because although
these men may not know much about
practical diplomacy, the masses of the
people are likely to be misled by their
scholastic attainments and believe thev
arc right. The ex-minister added:
1T would be most regrettable if our
people are led to any erroneous con-
ception of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
for regard it as the main pillar of
cur diplomacy"
Baron Kato said he understood that
the critics based their objections to
| tie alliance ON the attitude of British
officials and merchants in China who
were alleged to be hindering Japan,
csc undertakings in that country and
on their belief that the formation OF
Ian alliance with Russia would render
the pact with Great Britain useless. II
was true, he thought, that some Brit
ish merchants in China has contin-
uelly slandered Japan and her PEG
pie, but he was convinced that these
Englishmen did not represent Great
Fritain.
AS for the alliance with Russia
Earon Kato declared it the height o
fclly to imagine that it could be form
ed and maintained independently of tn,
/
Anglo-Japanese alliance. He, for one
would welcome an alliance with Rus
STA, he said, but he was convinced tina
it could be made only on the strength
of the pact with Great Britain, aus
that it must be supplementary to thai
alliance
When the peace conference is held
the Anglo-Japanese alliance must be
the basis of our policy, and Japan must
of course, cooperate with Russia ana
France" Baron Kato concluded. I'll
Japan goes astray from this policy her
position will become very difficult. II
is most important that our people
should recognize the delicate diplo.
matte relationship and endeavor to
smooth the way that lies before us
for generations to Gomez
Because of Baron Katos influence
among the men who direct the Japan
of today, his public utterances are re-
garded by many of his compatriots as
more or less representing official opip-
ion.

what is the ideal length for a ser

London. The question might be put:
What is the length of an ideal SER
mon?' The late Doctor Parker said
a sermon should never be more than
half an hour, says Boston Herald. "Af-
ter thirty minutes of sermon hearing
deep sleep falleth upon man." In the
chapel of the Savoy is a pulpit glass
presented by Queen Victoria to the
chapel when it was restored in 1867.
The glass is timed for Is minutes.
. The queen did not like long sermons,
nor did Edward VII. The late Rev.
Henry White, who was chaplain at the
Savoy chapel, also for a time chap
lain of the house of commons, declared
that the ''nineteenthly'' preacher was
public nuisance. To him the ideal
sermon was an affair of 10 minutes,
and when he exceeded for any reason,
or through forgetfulness, that limit, he
would fine himself a shilling.

TREsPAssING OF CHILDREN
ON RAILROAD TRACK

From the large number Of children
in Juvenile court on Friday for tres
passing on railroad grounds and steal
ing from the coal cars, one wouId
think such property was publicly
owned. Just why children and the mar
ents of children should think that
stealing coaf' is any more right than
stealing other things is not quite clear

ing house for their excuses for their
own carelessness and their chiIdren's
mis-demeanors, and Judge Karel. pre.
siding over this court, is trying ia
plainly impress the fact on the minds
of both the delinquents and parents
each week brought before him.
Trespassing on the railroad tracks
in and about the city of Milwaukee
has caused injury to more children
than all other sources combined.
Coupled with the violation of the tres
pass law, the picking up of coal and
wood has tempted more boys and girls
to steal by breaking into freight cars
and purloining the contents of such
than any and all other sources of
temptation.
These astounding facts are due to
the belief of the average person that
railway tracks are common highways.

their children properly and in many
instances sending them out on the
tracks and encouraging them to bring
home anything they can place their
Hands on and carry away
According to the Interstate Com
merce Commission SO, POS children
during 1914 lost their. lives by trespas-
sing on railroad tracks and cars.
Judge Karel says that this city's per
cent contributed toward such disaster
must cease.
Unless parents awaken to their OBJ
legation of keeping children off the
tracks, saving loss of life and warding
off injury and the filling up of court
calendar in Juvenile Court, some law
will have to be enacted to prosecute
parents.
Not only is Judge Karel making the
situation clear to the parents and chill
dren constantly appearing in court
with I'VE did not know''-but he is
sending out fair warning to all the
boys and girls in Milwaukee to stay
off and away from all railroad tracks"
In event they are afterwards brought
into court, no excuses will be accepted
from either the children or their par
ents. They will have to accept the
consequences which follow the tres
passing on private and dangerous
property.
Parents" says the judge, must
realize that the appearance of chill
dren in court is no trivial matter and
will not be treated as such. The end
less chain of boys and girls brought
into this court each week must cease"

BAD BLOOD AND BOILS
 YIELDTO HAYS SPECIFIC'

Time was when the unfortunate vic tim of blood impurities must submit to the use of the lance, then minerals were resorted to and this usage re- suited disastrously to the entire sys- tenn. Then science returned to the good old days of herbs and barks. Then came Hays Specific" the great remedy for all blood disorders, of which MT R. M. Wilburn, of Aiken, H., writes as follows:
 I take pleasure in saying a good word for your medicine, Hays Spe- cific.
 I had been suffering with boils, my blood was in very bad condition. l was unable to stay at my store. 1 had tried other remedies but they had fail ed to relieve me. 1 took Hays Specific and it entirely cured me. I am glad to recommend your medicine as one of the best blood remedies that I have ever used.
 This great remedy is now being sold in Little Rock by w. w. Hughes & Co.,, Beech and Prospect, Pulaski Heights.
