At this ses- sion formal resolutions outlining the party’s poliey will be adopted. The final session, Aug. 12 will be devoted to campaign conferences of state chairmen, organizers, stump speakers and others. In the call for the conference the woman's party executive committee declares that “woman's political power has more than doubled since the last presiden- tial election.’” * “In 1912 there were only six suff- rage states, with about 2,000,000 wom- en qualified to vote,” it 1s stated. These six suffrago states elected only thirty-seven members of the electoral college. Today there are twelve suff- rage states, controlling ninety-one electoral votes, with over 4,000,000 women gualified to vote for president. The fact that these states control one- fifth of the clectoral college and cast one-third of the votes necessary to elect a president gives woman voters the power to determine the election of the next president.”” That one-fourth of the senate’s membership and one-sixth of that of the house comes from suffrage states also pointed out by leaders as in- dicating the possible power of women in_the forthcoming elections. In addition to deciding whether any of the presidential candidates shall be supported by the woman’s party, the conference will consider participating in the congressional campaigns in supporting or opposing candidates for the senate and house in the suft age states. is Church Notices. of the South church and the Trin- The union services Congregational Jty Methodist Episcopal churches and the First Church of Christ and the First Baptist church will be contin- ued during the month of August.

FAT WOMEN AND MEN WON'T RACE It Is Too Hot for Such Pastime at Hebrew War Relief Picnic —$800 Realized. It is estimated that fully $800 was realized on the picnic given yester- day by the Hebrew War Relief asso- ciation at Quartet club park. There was a large crowd on hand and all contributed freely for the worthy cause. A program of games was carried out under the supervision of Attorney M. D. Saxe, chairman of tfie sports committee. A baseball game was played and numerous other sports were enjoyed. Much to the disap- pointment of those assembled the fat woman’s and fat man’s race did not materialize although there was a large number present. All refused to race for the tempting prize offered, claiming that they would rather enjoy cold drinks and ice cream than run a race in such hot weather. Much credit for the success of the affair is glven to Constable Fred Winkle. “Fred” was on the job all afternoon and evening acting as of- fictal, constable, auctioneer, director, and numerous other offices at differ- ent times. Toscani’s orchestra gave a band concert in the afternoon and furnished music for dancing in the evening. A meeting of the committee will be held Wednesday evening at which time a complete report on the amount realized will be ascertained. BAND CONCERT CHOSEN.

Ambassador Page was in- structed by Acting Secretary Polk to deliver it formally and textually. It follows: “The announcement that his Brit- tanic majesty’s government has placed the names of certain persons, firms and corporations in the United States upon a proscriptive ‘blacklist’ and has forbidden all financial or commercial dealings between them and citizens of Great Britain has been recelved with the most painful sur- prise by the people and government of the United States, and seems to the government of the Unitedw States to embody a policy of arbitrary interfer- ence with neutral trade against which it is its duty to protest in the most decided terms “The scope and effect of the policy are extraordinary. British steamship companies will not accept cargoes from the proscribed firms or persons or transport their goods to any port, and steamship liues under neutral ownership understand that if they ac- cept freight from them they are like- ly to be denied coal at British ports and excluded from other privileges which they have usually enjoved, and may themselves be put upon the blacklist. Neutral bankers refuse loans to those on the list and neutral mer- chants decline to contract for their goods, fearing a like proscription. It appears that British officials regard the prohibition of the blacklist as ap- plicable to commercial tra: ctions in foreign countries as well as in Great Britain and her dependencies, for Americans doing business in foreign countries have been put on notice that their dealings with blacklisted firms are to be regarded as subject to veto by the British government. By the same principle Americans in the United States might be made subject to similar punitive action if they were found dealing with any of their own countrymen whose names had thus been listed. “The harsh and even disastrous ef- fects of this policy upon the trade of the United States and upon the neu- tral rights upon which it will not fail to insist are obvious. Upon the list of those proscribed and in effect shut out from the general commerce of the world may be found American con- cerns which are engaged in large com- mercial operations as importers of foreign products and materials and as distributors of American products and manufactures to foreign countries and which constitute important chan- nels through which American trade reaches the outside world. Their for- elgn affiliations may have been fos- tered for many years, and when once broken cannot easily or promptly be re-established. Other concerns may be put upon the list at any time and without notice. It is understood that additions to the proscription may be made ‘whenever on account of en- emy nationality or enemy assoclation of such persons or bodies of persons it appears to his majesty expedient to do so’ The possibilities of unde- served injury to American citizens from such measures, arbitrarily tak- en, and of serious and incalculable in- terruptions of American trade are without limit. “It has been stated on behalf of his majesty’s government that these measures were aimed only at the enemies of Great Britain and would be adopted and enforced with strict regard to the rights of neutrals and with the least possible detriment to neutral trade, but it is evident that they are inevitably and essentially inconsistent with the rights of the citi- zens of all the nations not involved in The government of the United begs to remind the government ajesty that citizens of the United St are entirely within their rights in attempting to trade with the people or the governments of any of the nations now at war, subject only to well-defined international practices and understandings which the govern- ment of the United States deems the government of Great Britain to have too lightly and too frequently disre- garded. There are well-known reme dies and penalties for breaches of blockade, where the blockade is real and In fact effective, for trade in con- traband, for every unneutral act by whosoever attempted. The govern- ment of the United States can not con- sent to see those remedies and penal- ties altered or extended at the will ot a single power or group of powers to the injury of its own citizens or in derogation of its own rights.

Such safeguards the blacklist brushes aside. It condemns without hearing, without notice, and in advance. It is manifest- 1y out of the question that the govern- ment of the United States should ac- quiesce in suech methods or applica- tions of punishment to its citizens. “Whatever may be said with regard to the legality, in the view of interna- tional obligation, of the act of Parlia- ment upon which the practice of the blacklist as now employed by his maj- esty’s government is understood to be based, the government of the United States is constrained to regard that practice as inconsistent with that true justice, sincere amity, and impartial fairness which should characterize the | dealings of friendly governments with | one another. The spirit of reciprocal trade between the United States and ! Great Britain, the privilege long ac: corded to the nationais of each to come and go with their ships and car- goes, to use each other's shipping, and be served each by the other’s mer- chants is very serlously impaired by arbitrary and sweeping practices such as this. There is no purpose o rincli- nation on the part of the government of the Unitel States to shield Amer- ican citizens or business houses in any way from the legitimate consequences of unneutral acts or practices; it is quite willing that they should suffer the appropriate penalties which inter- | national law and the usage of nations have sanctioned; but his Britannic majesty’s government can not expect the government of the United States to consent to see its citizens put upon an ex parte blacklist without calling the attention of. his majesty’s govern- ment, in the gravest terms, to the many serious consequences to neutral right and neutral relations which such an act must necessrily involve. It hopes and believes that his majes- ty’s government, in its natural ab- sorption in a single pressing object of policy, has acted without a full reali- zation of the many undesired and un- desireable results that might ensue.” City Ifems More for —advt. less.

GFRARD HELPLESS IN FRYATT CASE Trial and Execution Rushed Through Without Least Delay 31, Via London.—The of the German field court martial In the case of Captain Fryatt of the British steamship Brussels left little time for action by the American embassy which James W.
