invasion of Belgium and by reports
of atrocities there. The Royal Bel
gian Commission, which came in Sep
TENDER, 1914, to lay their country's
cause Tor complaint before our Ma
tional Government, was received
with sympathy an respect. The
President in his reply reserved our de-
eision in the affair, 1t was the only
course he could take without an alb
rupt departure from our most
treasured traditions of noninterfer-
ence in Old World disputes. But
the sympathy of America went out to
the Belgians in their heroic tragedy,
and from every section OF our land
money contributions and supplies OF
food ond clothing poured over to the
Commission for Relief in Belgium,
which was under the able manage
ment OF our fellow countrymen
abroad.
Still, the thought of taking an
active part in this European war
was very far from most of our minds,
The Nation shared with the President
the belief that by maintaining
strict neutrality we could best serve
Europe at the end as impartial me-
diators.
But in the very first days OF the
war our Government foresaw that
complications on the seas might put
US in grave risk OF being drawn into
the conflict. No neutral nation
could foretell what violations OF its
vital interests at sea might be at
tempted by the belligerants. And
SO, on August 6, 1914, our Secretary
OF state dispatched an identical note
to all the powers then at war, calling
attention TO the risk of serious
trouble arising out OF this uncertain
ty of neutrals as to their maritime
rights and proposing that the Decla-
ration of London be accepted by ali
nations for the duration of the war.
But the British Government re-
spouse, while expressing sympathy
with the purpose OF our suggestion
and declaring their keen desire to
consult SO far as possible the in
terests OF neutral countries, an
nounced their decision ito adopt
generally the rules OF the Declare
ton in question, subject to certain
notifications and additions which
they judge indispensable to the Ell
| tieient conduct OF their naval opera
lions The Declaration had not
been Endorsed by any power In time
Of peace, and there was no legal
obligation on Great Britain to accept
it. Her reply however, was disap-
pointing, for 1t did nothing to clari-
fly the situation. Great Britain rec
ognized as binding certain long ac~
copied principles of international
law and sought now to apply them
TO the peculiar and unforeseen con-
ditions of this war. But these prin-
ciples were often vague and there
fore full of dangerous possibilities
of friction.
Controversies soon arose between
Great Britain and this Nation. In
practice their ruling sometimes SEEM
ed to our Government inconsistent
with the spirit of international law.
and specially with the established
presidents which they invoked. But
painful as this divergence of opinion
sometimes was, it did not seriously
threaten our position of neutrality,
for the issues that arose involved
only rights of property and were am

One of the most commendable re-
tail establishments in Hibbing is that
of Mr.. w. j. Lick, the well known
Ladies Furnishing dealer, located at
318 Third avenue. By means OF a
careful application of new and up-to-
date ideas in the manner of stock this
establishment now presents one OF
the most complete assortments OF
ready-to-wear clothing for women in
the city. Ladies and Misses coats
and suits in styles and grades to suit
anyone are sold. Skirts, waists and
corsets in profusion are included in
the stock. The same can be said of
their millinery department, which is
replete in ultra modern shapes and
trimmings. Expert tailors are en-
ployed to make any alterations de.
sired and customers are carefully
measured and fitted when buying
suits or coats.

dried meats, hams, sausages, fish,
etc, kept in stock are carefully

the same with the grocery depart
ment. In addition the delivery serv-

SECURITY STATE BANK.

This bank is true missionary, and
renders the public an educational as
well as commercial service. 1t
teaches the people to save and start a
bank account. The Security State
Bank at 610 Third avenue has been a
pioneer in this work, and as result
hundreds of our enterprising men
and women look upon it as a financial
home where they learned the first
lesson in economy and thrift which
leads to competence and independ-
ence. The officers, Messrs. C. A.
Remington, President; H. P. Reed,
Vice-president, and w. M. Spensley
Cashier, are gentlemen of the highest
character and ability, thoroughly con-
versant with every detail of safe and
sane banking methods, and they &C
cord every courtesy to their patrons
at all times.

and commercial activities of the
world. One of the best known of such
institutions on the Range is the First

cashier. 1t is modernly equipped and
has capital of $4,000; pays go in

stantly on the alert to serve all GUS
