Mrs. Annie Dollie Ledgerwood Mat

possession Of the child. was bitterly
scored by Judge Lands for not taking
the witness stand.
Prison doors and prison bars

mother when her child Is involved

hospital, was denounced by the court.

BRITAINs BOYCOTT.

Under Great Britain's trading
with-the-enemy act" British subjects
have been forbidden to patronise
eighty-four American concerns. most
Of them doing business in New York.
This action. against which the United
States government is expected to
lodge a vigorous protest." is the first
blacklisting Of American firms and in
dividuals. though many other coun-
tries are said to have been represent
ed on the British boycott hist for some
time.
The London foreign office has is
sued long but not particularly lucid
explanation Of its abandonment of Its
former rule that "enemies domiciled
IN friendly countries" we're not to be
Disseminated against. It says mod
ern conditions Of credit and COM
merce," possibly referring to mer-
chant submarines, make 1t possible
for an enemy outside belligerent ter
ritory to trade with his country"
The boycott is called purely q piece
OF domestic legislation" and "a con-
sequence simply and solely of the ex-
ercise Of the right of the state to limit
or control, in the interests of the
state, the trade relations Of its own
subjects"
The British explanation as to the
eighty-four prescribed American con-
Germs is that they include four classes
German firms with head Offices in
Germany; German firms incorporated
in the United States, American only
in technical sense and assisting Ger,
many by loans or propaganda; United
States citizens. II any, only as agents
OF enemy firms resident in enemy ter
ritory; concerns that have clearly
ABUSED cable facilities by using codes
in behalf Of particular interests"
As an initial extension to United
States territory Of practice already
established by application to other
neutral countries, this seems decided
ly energetic and full Of possibilities
The cIassifications, for example, ap
pear to leave great deal Of room
for extensive discretion. The boycott
may be widened rapidly and greatly
on provocation large or small. It ma!
prove a serious matter to many Amer
ican establishments in cutting OF
their Canadian trade. The Canadians
already wrathy over the Deutschland
return cargo OF nickel. supposedly
originating in the Cobalt district, ma
welcome the chance. If the submar
ine trade with Germany develops ma
terially, Britain may launch her trad
curse on all who buy from or sell t
Germany.
Our peaceful republic may not b
so willing and able a boycotter a
Great Britain. Still, in view Of tn
demonstrated inefiicacy OF Washint
ton protests, 1t may be comforting
bear in mind that two can play at tn
boycott game as well as one.-Clev'
