Pacific blockade" is term invent
Cd by Hautefeuille. the French writer
on international maritime law. to de-
scribe a blockade exercised by n great
power for the purpose of bringing
pressure to bear on weaker state
without actual war. The pacific block
ade has apparently established itself
as a legitimate means of coercing
weak power to observe its interna-
tional obligations without resorting to
war for that purpose. It Is a modern
development and has usually been the
act Of several powers acting in concert.
II was first employed in 1927. when
the combined fleets of Great Britain,
France and Russia blOckaded a por-
ton of the Turkish coast More re-
cent instances of It's exercise were the
blockade of Crete by the powers In
1897, the blockade of Venezuelan ports
by Great Britain Germany and Italy
In 1902 and Of Turkish ports by the
powers in 1903.

BRITISH GENERAL SIGHTS
AMERICAS PART IN WAR, CIV
ING ONLY BRIEF MENTION OF
u. S. IN HIS "HISTORY" OF
WORLD STRIFE.

Washington, May 19-Nothing that
has occurred since the signing of the
armistice has so tended to excite
American officers TO a state OF bel
ligerency as the full and complete re-
port of Field Marshal Douglas Haig,
copies of which have just been re-
ceived here.
Some of them are fighting mad
about it, The only mention which
Marshal Haig makes OF Pie Ameri-
cans throughout the report is his
statement that they occupied Coblenz
after the signing of the armistice.
He ignores the American divisions
which fought under him, and which
took the lead in the final British
drive on Cambria. Moreover in ac-
counting for the collapse of Ger
manys military power, he completely
ignores the effect of American par
ticipation in the war, and the con
elusive work of Pershing's army
when the allied arms, beaten and eX-
houstcd, were unable to make a fur
Their stand against the German as
sault.
Congress May Act.
This report of Field Marshal Hag,
with its failure to say any single
% mr.,
make any Acknowledgement of the
value of Americas aid toward ending
the war, probably will result in de-
mands in congress upon the war de-
partment for the complete record of
the achievement of American arms in
France, and the complete record of
the representations made by the allies
TO President Wilson and other of
fcials of the government as to the
absolute hopelessness of the allies
cause unless America came in with
it's full strength.
Senators and congressman have
been expressing themselves for some
time as most weray of the policy by
which America was making vast con-
tributions to European nations and
getting nothing in return-not even
gratitude.
Members of the military affairs
committee of both the house and SEN
ate will of course, get the comment
of officers of the general staff on the
Haig report, and resentment in con-
gress over the unappreciative atti-
tude of the allied powers undOubted-
ly will be further infamed.

65o,ooo,o00 Seals on Sale TO
Finance the Flight Against
tuberculosis.
FIRST SALE YIELDED $4,000

The Red Cross Seal-as millions or
Americans know 1t TO day, is an agent
Of happiness and health 1t was orig
mated In 1907 by Miss Emily P. Bissell,
of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Riis Of somewhat SINH
lar seals that were sold in Norway for
the purpose Of raising funds with
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Bisseu persuaded the Ameri-
can Red Cross to take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold In
limited number Of communities In
1908. The sale yielded a revenue Of
approximately $4,000. The Red Cross
then decided to Issue the seals each
year and to turn the proceeds over to
the National Tuberculosis association
and It's affiliated societies for the pur-
pose Of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number of seals
sold in America increased by leaps
and bounds until In 1917 the total
reached 1sO,OOO,0OO.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December l. More

printed for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition TO the
seals Health Bonds" in denomina-
tions ranging from $500 to $500. 90
are to be sold in lieu Of seals to
large contributors, who do not send
out a sufficient quantity of mail in
December to make use Of all the seals
they would like to purchase. The
combined quotas of all the state or
carnations call for more than $6,5O0,-
600 to carry out the intensive educa-
tional campaign being conducted by
the National Tuberculosis Association
and It's 1000 affiliated societies.
The intensive sale of these seals
represents a practical demonstration
of every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution. Ex-
perts of the highest standing in sales
management have co-operated to the
extent Of assuring those interested
that every resident Of the United
States will have an opportunity to buy
Red Cross Christmas Seals.
