True Friends Beyond Price.

The most blessed reality in human
life is a friend who understands and
can companion your heart. Don't al
low yourself to wear your spirit out
alone with anxiety or grief. "The
friends thou hast, and their adoption
tried. grapple them to thy soul with
hoops of Steel" A true friend will
save your soul alive.

instances, firms containing certain en-
emy interests have been obliged to
eliminate this interest.
I'm Spain the policy has worked ad-
mirably, and is considered to have
gone far to counteract the more insid-
ious methods of German propaganda
In all countries the moral effect of
the statutory list has been very pro-
nounced, and a definite stigma is at
taehed to inclusion in the list, an eff
feet which has been accentuated by
the growing dislike of the world in
general for German objects and meth
ods."
The main preoccupation of the min
istry of blockade during the year 1917,
it is stated, was directed to diminish
ing trade between the Germans and
neutrals on her borders.
"The neutral tonnage employed in
allied trade increased by million tons
between the German declaration of
ruthless U-boat warfare and the end
of the year." says the cabinet.
"The greatest blockade event of the
year was. the declaration of war be-
tween the United States and Ger
many, followed by similar declara-
tions from, or the rupture of relations
by, a considerable number of South
American states. This has enabled us
and our allies to stop imports to the
border neutrals at the source.
Public attention has been fixed, not
unnaturally, more upon the food
blockade of Germany than anything
else, but it is very doubtful whether
this is its most important aspect. The
evidence is strong to show that Ger
many is also suffering gravely from
the want of such things as wool, cot
ton, leather, rubber, and so on.
ut is hoped that we may see con-
siderable results in the future from
the new form of pressure which the
entry of America into the war has
enabled us to employ"

THE BRITISH BLOCKADE
Is THE GREATEST WEAPON

London, April 13.-"The blockade is
one of the most important weapons in
the hands of the allies, asserts the
British war cabinet. Dealing with the
development and amplification of the
blockade of Germany during 1917, the
cabinet says in its annual report just
made public:
"The chief method by which this
amplifcation~ has been effected has
been the conclusion of series of
agreements with neutral shipping
companies. The weapon in the back
ground during such negotiations has
been the British control of bunker fa-
cilities and the powers welded by the
inter-allied chartering committee.
"A very considerable amount of sue
cess can fairly be claimed for the pol
icy. In the Far East, the German
commercial establishments have been
almost completely destroyed and re-
cent events will probably make it pos
sible to complete the work.
Thanks to our agreements with
American shipping companies, the fl
nancial stability of enemy firms in
South America has been generally
shaken, and in some cases they have
been forced into liquidation. In other

ClarenceeC Chesbro, who has been liv-

about it and was ordered to report at
Nashville, Tenn, where, we We're in

a boss carpenter for $3.50 per day,
helping to build a large plant for the
Dupont Powder company who, it was
said, is building this big factory in
the interior so that if our coast should
be captured by the Germans we will
still have the powder factory inside
our lines. The Germans have not
landed on our shores as yet and it is
hoped the people will not let them dc
so ever. But, Uncle Sam has to have
money in large quantities and has
,asked Tarpon Springs for $4,000 tc
help keep the Germans back. We have
been very slow in answering the ap,

seem rather inconvenient. He said
that in his work here and also abroad
he has found that the Y. M. C. A. is
accomplishing much for our soldiers
and sailors, both in the camps and in
the big cities. He says that the Red
Cross is also doing great work. The
doctor states that he is well.
