 (NRA Service Stan COrrespondent)
 London, March 5.-By a strange irony of fate, Great Britain in her endeavor to prevent goods, money or German men from reaching Nazi- land, finds herself up against the United States, Japan and Italy, all of whom were her allies or associates in the last world war.
 The same irony this time finds the United States a neutral anxious to remain neutral, while Japan and Italy are neutrals joined by an Comintern pact with Germany.
 There Is further irony n the fact the three great neutrals, when associated with Britain in tho last year, approved of the things they are now kicking about. U. s. USEH EMBARGO
 IN CIVIL WAR
 The United States has never liked interference with her sea-borne traffic, particularly when in neutral vessels, bound for neutral ports.
 The last world war at once pre- sented problems of dispute. The American government found it. self busy writing notes of protest to both sides in the war. Inter- national law countenanced trade In munitions provided they were sold to all corners.
 Theoritically Germany had as much access to American muni- tions as Britain and France. Ac- tually 1t was not so, because of allied command of the seas.
 To German insistence that, therefore, America should place an embargo on munitions sales, the American government replied that 1t could not change the rules to the advantage of one belligerent and disadvantage of another while a war was in progress.
 The American government then asked both sides to respect the 1907 Declaration of London, which laid down rules of blockade and contraband, but which Britain had not ratified. Germany acceded be- cause the document favored her Britain anC France declined, on the groun that Germany had al- ready brokel- many rules.
 To later protests from America Premeir Asquith said "Let the neutrals complain about our blockade and other measures taken as much as they may, the fact remains that no neutral na- tional has ever lost his life as a result of it."
 At that time 209 Americans had

Irony Of War Snarls Britain, Ex-Allies In Row Over Embargo

Americas acquiescence in the last war, but echoed Asquith's words, pointed out that no lives have been lost by British action.
 Japan adopted a far more bel- ligerent attitude than the United States. The Japanese kick cen- tered on the incident when Britt ish man of war took 2l German seamen off the steamer Asama Maru.
 As to taking enemy citizens off ships, Italy did so during her war with Turkey in 1912 and in the last war Britain took some $500 enemy aliens from GA neutral ships. Germany, as late as last December, took Il British seamen fof a Swedish vessel.

People fell, cars skidded and trees broke yesterday, due to the heavy coating of ice everywhere. Travelling was at a slow pace. Cars were forced from the road, busses were practi- cally unable to climb steep hills. The snow was so heavily laden with water, it was a tremendous task to shovel walks and drive ways, and the blows worked late into the night to clear the streets.
 Driving was dangerous on the side roads where trees over-hang, be- cause branches were covered with Ice, hitting cars and sometimes the road. It was necessary to get out and pull them away before going on.
 Almost all birch trees lay on the ground and people with fruit trees In their gardens were concerned for fear they would snap under the heavy load of ice.

Woman Sues for $500,
Claiming Bed COLLAPSE

Contending she was permanently
and seriously injured when fold
ing bed in her apartment failed to
operate properly, Mary P. Engel
of the Dupont Circle Apartments,
1345 Nineteenth street NV, today
filed suit in District Court for ST.
500 against Dupont Circle, Inc, and
H. L. Rust, the rental agent.
Represented by Attorney Stacy
M. Reed, the plaintiff contends that
on November IT, 1899, after she had
complained on several occasions to
the management that the bed failed
to operate properly, the defend
ants adjusted the bed and told her
it was in proper order. That night,
while she was attempting to unfold
the bed preparatory to retiring, the
suit contends, the bed collapsed on
her and she was thrown violently
to the floor under it.
Her suit asserts that she suffered
severe injury to her back, a great
shock to her nerves and nervous
system and that the muscles and
nerves of her back and neck were
permanently and seriously twisted.
AS a result, she said, she was PIE
vented from performing her duties
as a typist in the Federal Govern
ment.
