BRITISH APOLOGIZE
TO UNITED STATES
Expressions of Regret Made by
England for the Seizure of
American Owned Goods.
WON'T BE DONE ANY MORE

Washington, Sept. z5.-lnforma'
expressions of regret have been made
by Great Britain to the State depart
ment for seizure at Hong Kong OF
American-owned goods consigned to
Manila on board the steamers. Chi
nese Prince Kaafue and Aymeric. II
was learned today that in response to
vigorous protest by the United
States assurances have been given
that there will be no more such seiz-
ures.
The British action first was ex-
planned on the ground that the goods
we're consigned to blacklisted firms.
Later it was claimed that several Of
the firms were ringleaders in junta
alleged to be seeking to cause rebel
ion in India.
The seizure OF packages from the
Chinese Prince caused very bitter
feeling in Manila and maximum fine
was levied on i: when it entered port
with its manifest short. The fine was
later reduced to $4,000 and finally re-
bated when the missing goods arrived
on another ship.

Of Suspending Work.

New York, Sept. 25.-Labor or
CARNATIONS including about 100000
workers, meet today to vote on the
question of joining in the proposed

who vote today are the machinists.

ton companies to arbitrate with their
striking employees.
Milk Wagon Drivers Strike.
According to Secretary Bohm,. the
strike among drivers for Borden's
Condensed Milk company, which be-
gan yesterday and continued to spread
today, was due to an attempt by the
company to enforce upon the men the
master and servant" form of con-
tract which is one OF the issues in the
traction strike. The Borden COM
pany's example was being followed by
other employers he said and would
not be tolerated. The milk drivers

WORK OF THE LIFE AGENT.

WYNN ~ AsAA SsA - SHSAhNss
What is the work Of the life insur-
ance agent, and what does it mean
directly as to homes and broadly as
to society? His direct work H good.
There can be no question Of this.
Indirectly his work is far reaching.
1t is because of the premiums paid by
the policyholders whom he obtains
that the life insurance companies
exist; it Is by reason Of his tireless
endeayor that the companies prosper
and grow large. Through these com
panies it may be said that he erects
buildings, constructs bridges, helps
towns and municipalities in construc-
ton work and puts railroads in places
where there were but endless dead
stretches Of mere landscape. The life
insurance agent Isl an important fac
tor in the development Of many in
terprises.
