SALE OF ALCHOHOL
IN GREAT BRITAIN
BEING PROTESTED

London, Nov. ia petition is
shortly to be presented to the British
government by the Strength of Brit
ain Movement" asking that the Brit
ish government follow the lead of the
greatest of the allies to prohibit the
sale of alcohol. This remarkable APP
peal has already been signed by one
thousand representatives of the brain
power of the nation, including lead
ing officers in the army and navy,
directors of munitions, privy council
lors, prominent men in literature, art
and music, finance and industry, uni
versity and college professors, heads
of public and secondary schools, prom
inent scientists and medical men.
The memorial claims that 1.-TWO
grave dangers stand before the coun-
try holding back the power of early
victory and throwing shadow over
the vision of peace. One is the vast
ing power of alcohol; the other is the
imperilling of infant life. Among all
the factors of weakness these con-
front us with terrible vividness and
they lie within our own control With
the weakening power of alcohol re-
moved, our national effort against the
enemy would gather increased
strength; with the increased strength
and more rapid supplies our losses
in six campaigns would have been
substantially reduced"
Russia's Prohibition.
Russia and her prohibition is made
much of in the memorial which con-
cludes:
eve are no temperance reformers
as such. We stand for the great de-
sire of all good people to strike the
mightiest blow for freedom Of which
Britain is capable. We support the
demand for prohibition made to the
government by its own investigators,
and by the shipbuilders' deputation,
with not a teetotaler among them,
in March, 1915. Believing, in the
prime minister's words, that mo sac
rifice is too great when freedom and
honor are at stake and that rich and
poor alike should bear it, we ask the
government to suspend all drink Ii
censes throughout the kingdom for
the period of the war.
eve believe golden moment has
arrived for our country; that, prepar-
! ed for sacrifice by the example of the
king and Lord Kitchener, the nation is
ready for the natural step that France
and Russia have already taken. The
suspension of the liquor traffic during
the war, the conversion of the public
houses into houses of refreshment
will quicken up our civil and fighting
populations, will raise a new fire OF
resolution in our people, and will give
to millions the first opportunity they
have ever had of breaking old habits
of weakness and forming new habits
of strength.
eve believe that in this, as in al
other vital issues, there must be SYM
patty of purpose and unity of actor
between the allied nations; and we ap.
peal to the government to be bold anc
trust our people, to be strong and fol-
low our allies, to be worthy of the
mighty destinies they hold in solemn
trust"

TWO MORE NOTES MAY BE SENT TO
 GREAT BRITAIN.

Washington, April 27-The contents of the British note replying to the protest of the American government against interference with the neutral trade which asserts the right of Great Britain to regulate the admission to 8 neutral country of goods evidently destined for the enemy. caused little surprise in diplomatic and legal cir scles here as it's conclusions had been discounted by recent decisions of the prize tribunals. "A summary of the views of the members of these circles may be expressed as follows:
 They do not believe the controver- sy will be carried much further during the progress of the war, as no vital concessions have been made by either side since the first note was writ ten. Therefore, the shippers of de- tained cargoes who can afford the delay will await the conclusion of the war to have their cases settled by an international tribunal in the belief that such a court will grant the full damag It is expected that the United States government soon will send two notes tol Great Britain one on the detention of the mails and the other on the removal of Austrians and Germans from the steamship China
 E"The British government has con scented to the purchase of the Wag- ner steamships by an American com pany on the ground that the Ameri- cans lease the vessel on a time char ter to an English company. A final effort will be made to settle the Will he1mina case without submitting tha question to Baron Morsey. The for eign office is expected to submit to Ambassador Page today it's terms in this case.

NINE FOOT STRIP OF PROPERTY IS
 CAUSE OF ACTION
Title to Corner of Park Ave s nue and State Street
 Isn't Clear.

Tn order to clear the title to a nine foot strip of land at the southwest corner of State street and Park ave nue,i suit has been brought by Percy P. Anderson against B. D. Pierce, Jr- and Thomas DeForest, executors on the estate of T. B. DeForest. Failure of two mortgage holders to file re- lease in 1864 is claimed by Anderson to have caused the present confusion * In 1884 Daniel Barlow bought this land from Marcus, Isaac and LOCK wood DeForest. They took back a mortgage of $500 and it is alleged Bar low afterward paid this Marcus De- Forest gave him a release but nothing has ever been found to show that Isaac and Lockwood did. Barlow af- terward sold the property to Amanda Tru1ock and Marshall Beardsley and Anderson recently came into posses sion.
 He .has- reason to believe Barlow paid the mortgage but asks the su- perfor court to settle the matter. The strip in dispute extends along the State street property and in the rear. T. B. DeForest was<the heir of Mar GUS, Isaac and Lockwood DeForest. Another suit to clear a title to prop erty has been filed in the common pleas court. This action is brought by Joseph Smith of this city against the heirs or representatives of the late J. H. Ravens. The plaintiff says he owns property having a frontage of 275 feet on Ellsworth street.
 In 1861 Elizabeth K Wilson got a. foreclosure judgment against J. H. Ravens in the superior court but the certificate was never filed. Elizabeth K. Wilson died in 1913. Smith says he has been unable to learn the date of Havens' death or to find the names of his heirs. The court is asked to confirm the judgment.

 The Paper Outlook.
 (Boston News Bureau.)
 The sharp advances in the cost of
 white paper are bringing home many
 useful lessons. The people of this country have been getting not only their news but their newspapers too | cheaply The readers have lightly
 valued white paper and the manufac-
 turers have lightly valued the forests
 of timber they are consuming to make l the paper that spreads intelligence
 around the globe.
 I Now, publishers are being brought lAp with a sharp turn and there are ad- vances of from 20 per cent. to 5ONper cent. in the cost of paper. Indeed,
 there is something of panic on in the
 paper field. which panic will subside 1 or be accentuated according to war; s
 developments; for war not only in creases the demand for news print, but in the present situation, advances the 1 cost. It is not now possible to reduce costs in this field with en1arging out put.
 Last summer the paper mills of this country were running at about 80 per cent. of capacity. Pulp and rags were not coming from abroad and our Knowledge of international affairs and of foreign markets was so poor that nobody could have the foresight to see that the world, cut off from former German and Austrian supplies might call upon the United States even for white paper. The unexpected has happened and even Japan formerly supplied by Germany and Austria has called for paper from the United States. The movement of pulp from Sweden and even of rags from Eng land has been curtailed.
 The cost of labor and materials en- tering into paper making has been steadily advanced and the expense sheet has been hit on all sides. Some mills have paid as high as ten and fifteen cents per pound for bleaching material where the price was formerly under two cents. One of the most singular developments in this situation is the advance in caseins to 20 cents per pound as compared with the for mer price of 1-2 to ' cents. Case in is the larger part of the solids in milk It is used in considerable quan- titles by paper manufacturers. What innocent paper manufacturer could suspect the war designs upon the solid particulars of cows milk But along came the war commissary and through the channels of commerce commanded the easein for cheap :cheeses and the recreation of milk supplies.
 associate mill owners are entitled to- popular sympathy but they won,t get it until some publishers are forced to rilsse4 their prices. Then the newspa- per publisher who leads off will get no sympathy whatsoever.

Sugar Prices Increasing.

RefnedN sugar on Tuesday moved another step upward in the rise which has followed the resumption of heavy foreign buying about a month ago. Refiners quoted it at TAO cents. rise of 10 and IS cents a pound, while Philadelphia refneries raised their prices to 7.50 cets, equalhng the record high which was reached in August, 1914. The price of refined sugar a year ago was 5.90 cents a. pound.
 r At the same time, the raw market for spot sugar advanced 241z points. to 6.39 cents pound, a record price for the year and onlyN E lower than the record high registered in August, .1914. While there are plentiful stcclzs of raw sugar on hand in Cuba, refin- CTS report that they are unable to ob- tain more than enough to keep them going because of the dffhculties in get ting freight space. The European war has cut off a large part of the supply of the worlds beet sugar.

Some rather interesting comparisons of the cost of the war to the several European belligerents are presented by the Mechanics and Metals Natoinal Bank. It estimates that the war is how costing S65o, 900. 900 a week. and will have cost the round sum of $45,- 100000, 900 by August 1 next when the second year of the struggle will have been completed. Great Britain s bdlI for the two years will have been $11,6aO, ,000, ,00O, the cost to Germany a bit less, while France will. have ex- pended around $9,25O, 900, 900. Conn pairing the approximate annual nation al income of the principal belligerAnts as calculated in times of peace, and the possible governm ent expenditures on war account. in 1917-1918 Great Britain's percentage of expenditures to income is placed at 11.7 that of France at 18.8. Russia at 25.5, Germany at 1S.z and Austria-Hungary at 25.1. To- tai annual income of the people of the i've nations is put at $42,75O, 100000, while total government expenditure will be $7,60O, ,OOe,O00.
