tECLARES ELOCADE OE GERMAN COAST; ? - - ; R:K I> COli.MIL Mli.M U is J KING GEORGE. mces . Definite . Terms. Under ieh She Expects to Hold Shipping Away From Neighbor. don, March 15.?Great Britain j known to the world today in a' 1 proclamation signed in council j king and issued from Bucking- ; ham palace, how she proposes to cover ' k the arteries of sea commerce to and from Germany during the war. The term "blockade" is not used, and j no prohibited area is defined. Nevertheless, the text of the order makes piam jemgiana s purpuse iu pic*cjn! commodities cf any kind from reaching or leaving Germany during ther. i war. , y British officials tonight frankly called the movement a blockade, the foreign office describing it as an ef- j fective blockade, differing from the ef- j fective blockades of history only in i that t! e property seized will not be confiscated outright, but sold, the pro-1 ceeds eventually going to the owners, i l Hits Germany Only. ' The last clause of the proclamation contains the proposal most interesting to neutrals, mis is a nax agrtjeuitMii to fight the "blockade" in case any nation will certify that the ships flying it? flag shall not carry goods to Germany or goods originating therein or goods belonging to t! e subjects of the German empire. It is notable that the order declares no intention, to cap4 ture ships proceeding to and -from the countries of Germany's allies, Austria and iTurkey, t':e reason being no doubt, that the measure is avowedly a re yriScU agclJtllSL UCI UKilit a su muai mv warfare. A cordon of ships will be maintained to shut off the commerce cf German ports and regulate trade in the war zone, although ships voyaging eastward across the Atlantic will, it is expected, be seized before they reach t'w North Sea. to >eize tarsro Aione. When a neutral vessel is held up, in all cases except where there is a false declaration of destination or other attempt at subterfuge, the cargo only will be seized. A copy of t! e 01 dor in council was handed to the American ambassador ton i gi'it. The foreign office emphasizes the fact that wide discretion is allowed prize court officials handling neutral claims and that instructions will bo given these men to act with the greatest dispatc: consistent with the proper' performance of treir tasks. The foreign office hao called attention from the first announcement of the reprisals policy to the fact that the regulations are not inflexible where the rights of neutrals are con cerned. ^ While t! e order is absolute in so far as s^ips to and from German ports are concerned, using the word "must" in stipulating how goods shall be discharged at English ports, the provi- j sions concerning cargoes destined for j <nooitri?l Twrtc spf fnrth that they ! "may be required to discharge" at British ports. This language is typical of tbe general attitude of British officials toward neutral trade. Houeysnckle flad Embankments. j Greenville News. 4*?<v*rf?irs2' to a storv oominsr from 1 Georgia, ti e Southern railway has decided to have honeysuckle planted | along its railway embankments.1 This step is one which can be com- j mended for several reasons. Honeysuckle will prevent washing of the! embankments; it will make the danger of fires Jess pronounced, for it is not j go combustible in the winter season a? j is grass and miscellaneous vegetable I growth, and finally, the honeysuckleclad embankments will be no small addition to ti' e beauty of landscapes. A railroad embankment is not a work of ocular art, and especially is there no pleasure derived from gazing upon it, when it is bare, or wthen a mongrel growth off weeds and grass has sprung -A tT - ?rn upon li. rtoneysucKie >wu ucttuunj and will perfume.

' A (JALLON A MONTH" APPLIES TO ALL ALIKE Wholesale ami lietail l)ni? Stores and Hospitals May hring in Only j n.iit Amount. Columbia Record. That nospitals, public cr charitable, retail drug stores, medical cr pharmaceutical colleges can not order more than a gallon of alcohol a month for either scientific or medical uses is t'. e opinion of ti e attorney general's office contained in a letter addressed to a Charleston drug manufacturing con cern Dy ivrea. h. uominicK, assistant attorney general. The opinion, however, states that it probably was not the intention of the legislature to prohibit such institutions and businesses from obtaining alcc-ol. and that tl e courts, if the ac-t is tested, most probably would take into con.-:i:i< * at ion the intent o. the law-making boiv. The opinion is of importance, for it might hamper the physicians oi' the State in the exercise of t! eir duty. It follows: "I am in receipt of yours of the 13th instant, in which you say. witfr reference to the recent law enacted. "A gallon a month/' will you p'ease let us have your decision, as wholesale Sand manufacturing druggists, are we entitled under this law to receive ' througi common carriers alcohol in unlimited quantities, and .'lave we the | right to sell alcohol to retail drug| gists, hospitals, or pharmaceutical col! leges, in quantities not exceeding four I ? ? J 4 V, ? 11 0> i CUJU i-ui tre-yudi itr gaiimib; "In reply thereto I will say that in my opinion it was the intention of the ; legislature in tl e passage of the 'gallon a monti'i act,' that the sale or ; transportation of alcohol should remain as now allowed by law. HowI : ever, the wording of the act is con! fusing. "3cr-tir.n Q of + or-1 nrnvirlps 'Nothing herein contained shall prevent the sale or transportation of al' cci ol under and in accordance with it e statutes of this State as contained ' in criminal code of 1912, Sections 799 800, 802 to 812, inclusive.' ; "Section 799 of the code permits retail druggists to lawfully sell alco: hoi in quantities not greater than five : gallons to be used in the arts or for scientific or chemical purposes. Like quantities to chemists and bacteriolo! gists engaged, in scientific work and ! for such purposes only, and in quantii ties not greater than one-hail' gallon I v. ine used for sacramental or religious purposes only. Section 800 of ti e code refers to I the contents of t. -e statement to be I made by the purchaser under section I 799. ! "Section 802 requires the statements | or prescriptions to be tiled in the oli tice of the c.erk of court, properly ' recorded, etc. "Section S03 requires retail druggists to keep a record o. tne ^a!es, etc. "Sections 804 to 810, inclusi-'. e, regulate the manufacture and sale of i wood, denatured, ethyl and methyl aiI cohol. "Sections 811 and 812 provide for the punisi ment for violations of certain sections of t e dispensary law. "The authority of wholesale druggists to sell alcohol to retail druggists and to public or charitable hospitals, or to medical or pharmaceutical colleges was derived from section 795, of the criminal code of 191z. By reierence to the 'gallon a month act,' it will be seen tl at this section was not expressly exempted from fc'.ie operation of that law, even though it might have been the intention to be exempted. "In my opinion the act as it reads and appears on its face does not allow any sales or shipment of alcohol ex cept as provided in section 799, above referred to. As before indicated it may have been t?e intention of the general assembly to make no changes in the law in reference to the sale and transportation of alcohol :for certain purposes, and the courts in construing this act may hold that such being the case and t! e intention of the legislature that no change .^as really been made in the law, notwithstanding the fact that the terms and phraseology of the act j do change the law in ti e particulars iiuiea in i."is opinion. "This is a matter to mv mind of great importance both to the wholesale druggists and to the State, and such being the case I would suggest that a test case be speedily brought on this matter before the courts so that t'.^e terms of the act may be defiI nitely and judicially construed/' Stnger Machines old and new in stock for immediate delivery.
