BY the Entente Allies from
What 1t Was at the Be-
ginning Of the War.

WASHINGTON, July 8.--Examina-
ton OF the unofficial text Of the new
British order in council at the state
department today failed to reveal any
marked departure from the line Of
procedure followed since the begin
ming Of the war by the Enteule Allies
in dealing with neutral commerce,
There is apparently no such wide cX-
tension OF the existing blockade as
has been threatened. Many of the
present practices against the United
States which have been vigorously
protested are specifically re-authorz-
ed So, in Sense the order may be
regarded as a practical answer in adj
vance to the note which is being pre-
pared at the state department in re-
ply to the lengthy memorandum from
the British foreign office on the sub
ject of restrictions upon neutral trade.
1t was handed to the state depart
ment last April Dispatch Of the re-
ply now probabl will be FASTENED as
much as possible.
IlLllal lily lAlC llGM SlNNlt SLbdIuOll-
ing completely the declaration OF
London, is an endeavor oput upon a
firm and legal basis the various or
ders and more or less irregular meas
ures adopted to stop commerce with
enemy countries. The recent sweep
ing decision OF the British courts in
the case of the steamship Zamora
threatened to unsettle all proceedings
under the old orders.
The greatest Importance is attached
here to very first declaration regard
ing the presumption OF enemy desti-
nation Of cargoes Of contraband. The
United States government has con-
tended that the burden Of proof OF the
contraband character liability to Sc
cure a cargo is upon the belligerent
power which seeks to confscate The
principle Of the continuous voyage,
adopted In the former order as war
rant for seizure of cargoes destined
to reach bellIgerent country from
neutral country through an inferno
date neutral port is one which also
has formed the basis Of prolonged dis
cusslon between Washington and Lon
don and so far without bringing them
into accord.
Another outstanding issue now
sought to be settled outright is the
asserted right Of a belligorent to cap
ture and conhscate a blockade runner

After very mature consideration and
consultation with friends and patrons we
have determined that our duty to our pa
irons demands that we adhere strictly to
our standard Of quality. We have there
fore decided to increase the price sum
sufficient to cover the actual increase in the
cost ofraw materials.
In order to give the people the benefit
of the materials on hand we will continue
tailoring clothes at our standard price Of
SIS, no more, no less, up to and including
August 31st.
Beginning September 1st we shall
therefore advance our price to $17 and this
will be the standard copyrighted and paten-
ted trade mark Of this institution:

The failure of the parents to hear

a s was declared by the militant franz
~ ers Of the Declaration Of Indepen-
4 \ dence, when in the course Of human
events it becomes necessary" ETC., so wish
us at this time it becomes necessary to make
frank statement to the people.
For over fourteen years have we lab
ored diligently and conscientiously, tailor
Ing to order clothes Of high quality, at the
standard price of Sis. At all times our per-
centage Of profit has been very small and
never have we permitted our quality to be
lowered in order to make excessive profits.
When the European war broke out we
anticipated q sharp advance in the price Of
raw materials. We therefore entered the
market placing advance orders for large
quantities Of all kinds Of merchandise, en-
aiding us for over a year to turn out our
standard product and still make reason
able profit.
But, as all kinds of materials kept ad-
vancing in price, our profits corresponding
" diminished so that for the past few
months we have actually operated without
profit in order to maintain our reputation.
We did this hoping that conditions would
again adjust themselves to point where
we could continue producing as high
standard of clothes as heretofore at the
same price
Now, we are sorry to state, and as ev-
eryone knows, instead Of conditions improv-
Ing and the market getting lower, the situa-
ton is becoming much worse and prices Of
all kinds Of supplies are advancing by leaps
and bounds with no immediate prospects Of
their relaxing until some event takes place
that will readjust the entire commercial
structure the world over,
We are, therefore, confronted with the
alternative of either reducing our high
standard of quality or increasing the price,
