—- ——- DROP TRADE BLACKLIST, GREAT BRITAIN IS WARNED IN OFFICIAL NOTE FROM U.S. American Citizens Have Right to Trade With Nations at War, as Well as With All Neutrals, Sub- ject to International Practices. WABHINGTON, July S1—"In the United States Parhe Great Britain in (he aote of protest om the British trade blackilet that it is “manifest! out of the question that the Government of the U States should acquiesce in such methods.” The note, wien bas been delivered to the British Foreign OMice by Ambassador Pi reads “THe announcement that lile Britannic Majesty's Goveroment bas Placed the names of certain persons, Pras and corporations ip the United Btates vpon a proscriptive ‘biatkiist’ aud has forbidden all financial or comm: | dealings between chem and the citizens of Great Britain has deem received with the most painful surprise by the people aud Govern. ment of the United States, and secms wo the ( vernment of the United Btatos to embody @ policy of arbitrary inverterence with neutral trade againat Which it is ite duty to pretest in the most decided terme. “The scope and effect of the policy are extraordinary, British steam- ship companies will not accept cargoes from the proscribed firme or perso: OF transport Weir goods to any port, and steamship lines under neutral own @rebip undersiand that if they accept freight from them they are likely to be od coal at British ports and excluded from other privileges wi they have usually enjoyed, and may themselves be put upon the blackli Neutral bankers refuse loans to those on the list, and neutral merchants @ecline to contract for their goods, fearing a like proscription. “It appears that British offictals rd the probibitions of the black- Mat as applicable to domestic commercial transactions in foreign coun- tries as well as in Great Britain and her dependencies, for Americans Going business in foreign countrics Lave been put on notice that their deal- fugs with blacklisted tirms are to be regarded as subject to veto by the British Government. By tho same principle Americans iu 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 Usted. the gravest terme” “The harsh and even disastrous effects of this policy upon the trade of the United States and upon the neutral 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- eerns which are engaged in large commercial operations as importers of foreign products and materials and as distributors of American products end manufactures to foreign countries and which co ite important @hannels through which American trade reaches the outsido world, Their foreign affiliations may have been fostered 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 Botice. It is understood that additions to the proscription may be made “whenever on account of cuemy nationality or ENEMY ASSOCIATION of such persons or bodies of persons it appears to His Majesty expedient to do 80.’ The possibilities of undeserved injury to American citizens from euch measures, arbitrarily taken, and of serious and incalculable inter- ruptions of Ainerican trade are without limit. “It has been stated on behalf of His Majesty’s Government that these measures were aimed only at the encmies 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 citizens of all the nations not involved in war. “The Government of the United States begs to remind the Government of His Britannic Majesty tha: citiacas of the United States are entirely within their rights 11 mpting to trade with the people or the Govern- ments of any of the now at war, subject only to well-defined inter. national practices and understandings which the Government of the United States deems the Government of Great Britain to have too lightly and too jy disregarded. | ere are well known remedies and penalties for breaches of block- the blockade is real and in fact effective, for trade in coutra- and, for every unneutral act by whomsoever attempted. The Government of the United States cannot consent to those remedies and penalties altered or extended at the will of a single power or group of powers to the fajury of its own citizens or in derogation of its own rights. “#Conspicuous among the principles which the civilizod nations of the world have accepted for the safoguarding of the rights of neutrals is the gust and honorable principle that neutrals may not be condemned nor their goods confiscated except upon fair adjudication and after an opportunity to be heard in prize courts or elsewhere, Such safeguards the blacklist Drushes aside. It condemns without hearing, without notice, and in ad- vance. It is manifestly out of the question that the Government of the United States should acquicsce in such methods or applications of pua- fahment to its citizens. “Whatever may be sald with regard to the legality, in the view of in- ternational obligation, of the Act of Parliament upon which the practice of the blacklist as now employed by His Majesty's Government !s understood te be based, the Government of the United States is constrained to regard that practice as Inconsistent with that true justice, sincere amity and im- fairness which should characterize the dealings of friendly Govern- ments with one another. The spirit of reciprocal trade between the United States and Great Britain, the privilege long accorded to the nationals of each to come and go with their ships and cargoes, to use each the other's shipping, and be served each by tho other's merchants {8 very seriously | impaired by arbitrary and sweeping practices such as this, “There ie no purpose or inclination on the part of the Government of the United States to shield American citizens or business houses in any way from the legitimaie consequences of unneutral acts or practices; it is quite willing that they should suffer the appropriate penalties which in- ternational law and the usage of nations have sanctioned; but His Britan- ale Majesty's Government cannot expect the Government of the United States to consent to seo its citizens put upon an ex parte blacklist without ealling tho attention of His Majesty's Government, in the gravest terms, to the many serious consequences to neutral rights and neutral relations which such an act must necessarily involve, “It hopes and believes that iis Majesty's Government, {n {ts natural h absorption in a singlo pressing object of policy, has acted without a full realisation of the many undesired and undesirable results that might ensue.” CROW RYE America’s Finest RYE WHISKEY HAND MADE SOUR MASH STRAIGHT PURE RYE MADE IN KENTUCKY, U. 8 A.

Figuratively, they “eat it up.” Strange to say, few men have been bitten by the poisonous major league varmints. Probably it is because they have been partially broiled under the consistent sun. $0 MANY VARMINTS THEY HAVE TAXIDERMIST.
