Kffect ?if I . S. Flan questioned.
"The imperial and royal government
is convinced that the attitude of the
United states government m thi? mat
ter origiS*atea fron no other intention
than the maintenance of the strictest
neutrality and the observance to the
letter of all the stipulation? of the
international agreements involved, but
tli question arises as to whether the
conditions a? they have developed m
the course of the war, certain!) quits
independently of the will of the United
States, are not such that the very in?
tention of the Washington Cabinet is
defeated, indeed that exactly the oppo?
site effect is produced.
"If this qneation be answered in the
affirmative and, according to the opin?
ion of the imperial ami royal govern?
ment, this cannot tu- doubted then
another question automatically follows.
namely, whether it is not possible, in?
deed advisable, to take measures to
Ie lull effectiveness to tin- wish
of the government of the 1 nited States
to assume an attitude of strict fair
toward both belligerent parties,
ll.e imperial and royal government
does not hesitate to answer this ques?
tion also in the affirmative, without
qualification.
"It certainly has not escaped the at?
tention oi the American government.
which has co-operated in the work of
Th ' Hague in such a prominent man?
??r that the .?pint and On- letter mi
the fragmentary stipulations of the
treaties in question are not entirely
i., i xtensive.
Says Neutrality Is Impaired.
"If one takes into consideration the
is of Articles 7 of the tifth and
?nth convention respectively,
upon which the government of the
i State.- apparently reata the
? t case, and the wording of which,
as will not be denied, offers a formal
basis for the toleration of the trade
in war materials as carried on at pres?
ent by the United States, it is not
-ary to point out in order to
reaii?e the true spirit and range of this
ation, which incidentally seems
to have been modified already by pro?
hibiting the delivery of warships and
certain supplies lor warships of bellig
gerer.t countries - that the various
right? as conceded to neutral coun?
tries in the spirit of the preamble of
the last named convention are limited
by the requirements of neutrality in
i.ondence with the accepted prin
t.-rnational law.
"According to all the authorities on
international law who have especially
dealt with the questions which here
the neutral government is not
permitted to allow unhindered trade
in contraband of war if this tri.
sumes such character and proportions
?;e country's neutrality is there?
in impaired.
"In judging the admissibility of the
trade in contraband of war, one can
any one of the various
criteria established by law, and arrive.
according to each, at the conclusion
that the export of war materials from
the United States as it is carried on
in the present war cannot be made to
accord with the requirements o? neu?
trality. It is not a question as to
whether the branch of American indus?
try occupied with the production of |
war material shall be protected in
export as it has been
carried on in peace times .nay suffer
pairment, Furthermore this in
dustry has experienced an unexpected
increase because of the war.
Insists on Right of Embargo.
"In order to manufacture the im?
mense amount of weapons, munitions
and other war material of all kinds
which ' ..in and her allie.? have

of the American government can from
no ?luarter be disputed to decree an
embargo on this obviously enormous
export of war material, which is notori- ]
ously for the exclusive benefit of one
of the belligerent parties.
"The United States government could
with no reproof if it were to
avail itself of its competency, even if
it took re cour si of a

A Great Public Utility
*TViE automobile hat long ceased to be
X merely an expensive luxury, and is now
an economic necessity as well to the
farmer as to the department store or in any
occupation where expedition or economy can
make its us? valuable.
By means of the automobile the outlying
country is being brought closer to the big
citiea, and the values that are created in this
way more than offset any ordinary expenses
which the owners of automobiles may develop,
either in the way of daily upkeep, depreciation
or wear and tear. What is gathered from the
ground and capitalized certainly reflects the
prosperity of the entire community, and money
obtained from crops and thrift, even though It
goes into automobiles, graphophones and piano?
las, really puts into circulation new wealth
and the country benefits accordingly.
With good crops this fall, every expectation
of the automobile manufacturers should be ful?
filled, while the anticipated reduction in profits
per car will unquestionably be more than com?
pensated for by increased sales.
The Harriman National Bank would be glad
to see every farmer and merchant in possession
of an automobile, first for his use in his indus?
try, and second for his pleasure, for there is a
weighty economic factor of efficiency in the
social conditions that surround labor.

Miss Elsie Janis, the American
mimic, who had been abroad for sev?
eral months, and who sold $2,500
??'orth of copies of her so-called poem,
"Where Are You. God?" returned yes?
terday from Liverpool by the Ameri?

The verse, which Miss Janis does
not claim was inspired, has no par?

id, and its earnings were given
over for the care of British soldiers
blinded in the war.

U.S. GETS BERLIN'S
FRYE CASE REPLY
Likely to Contain Unacceptable
Proposal to Send Matter to
Prize Court.
Washington, Aur 1. The German j
note regarding the sinking of the
America': snip Will am P. Five, which
was handed to Km\ sdor Gerard at
Berlin yesterday, bad not been re?
ceived at the State Department to?
night. 11 was expected some t.me to?
morrow. Secretar) Lansing said no
word had been received from the am?
bassador concerning the note.
There is considerable speculation
here as to what the German reply to
the last American communication con
:n view of the attitude then
taken by this government. Germany
. ked to reconsider her decision
to semi the Five case to a prize court
for readjustment, the 1'nited States
maintaining that, under the treaty
with Prussia of 1828, it wan a matter
for diplomatic adjustment, and not
'.i prize curt rules.
1'nited States intimated that it would
not recognize a rrize court ruling in
the case as binding.
Should the German reply include an
announcem? nt of a prize court deci?
sion, the United States would not, it
was .?aid, take any measures to pre- ?
vent the owners from accepting the
award if they aie satisfied. But the j
American government will not recede j
from its contention that the case was
tr.e f.-1 a diplomatie adjustment. j

Non-Political Interests ?rgini/
Continuance in Power of
Count Okuma.
Tokio, Aug. 1. A solution of the
1 abinet crisis is not yet in sight. The
tion has been complicated by the
opposition of the Elder Statesmen to
Takaaki Kato, Minister of Foreign
Affair.?, whose handling of the Chinese
question they have criticised. On th<?

not connected with politics are urging
the continuance in power of the Cab?

AMERICAN CONSENT

Port au-Prince Quiet as More
Warships Hasten to the
Island Republic.
Washing-ton, Aug. 1. With the con?
sent of the United States, French ma?
rines have been landed at Port-au
Prince, where last week's revolution
overturned the Haytian government
and necessitated the landing of an
expeditionary force from the I'rnted
States. Marines from the cruiser Des
Carte.i are now guarding the French
Legation, from which President Guil
luume was taken by a mob and assassi
nuted.
A request for the guard was pre?
sented by the French Minister at Port
aii-I'rince and cabled to Washington
by Rear Admiral Caperton, in command
of the American expeditionary force.
The French Minister had expressed an
urgent desire that his legation be
guarded by French sailors, as the Des
Cartes had arrived at I'ort-au-I'rince.
The minister thought also that the I
French guard would be able to lighten
the burden on Bear Admiral Caperton's
?00 men to some extent.
_ Secretary Daniels conferred with
Secretary of State Lansing, who could
see no objection to the landing of a !
small detachment from the I?i l (artes
for the special purpose of guarding the
French Legation. No complications
would arise from such action, in the
Secretary's opinion, and Rear Admiral
Caperton was instructed to afford the !
minister all facilities for landing the
French guard.
Port-au Prince was reported quiet
to-day. The battleship Connecticut,1
with 500 additional marines, is on the
way to the island republic, and will be
followed by the hospital ship Solace
and the navy transport Hancock. O'hr-r
reinforcements may be sent if
are any more attacks on the city by |
revolutionists, such ai that in which
two American bluejackets were killed.
The expeditionary force is expected
to remain in llayti until lading peace!
la restored.

BAD CONDITIONS
Public Health Service
Finds Three Serious
Defects in Trade.
POOR LIGHTING
IN MANY SHOPS
Position of Body and Irregular?
ity of Work Among Other
Causes of Disease.
I 1 nliune Bureau J
Washington, Aug. I.?The searching
investigation of conditions in the gar?
ment workers' trade in New York City
by the United States Public Health
Service, in which more than 2,000 men
and 1,000 women were physically ex?
amined, has brought out that there
are three great defects in the condi?
tions under which the workers arc
compelled to earn their bread.
These are the bad lighting of the
shops, resulting in serious injury to
the eyes of the workers; the positions
of body in which the workers do their
labor, and the alternation of busy and
slack seasons, with the result that the
workers drive themselves at top speed
during the busy season, while during
the dull period they are without suf?
ficient occupation to keep up their in?
terest. Such conditions are produc
. '" considerable mental stress, it
?ed, the worker overdriving him
? .ring the- busy season and spend
in? the alack season in wondering if
will be forthcoming in the future.
"This condition of affairs," accord
S irgeon J. W. Schereschewsky,
of the Public Health Service, who was
in charge of tne investigation, "is re?
flected in the relatively large number
of operators found to be distinctly
neurasthenic or of neurasthenic tend?
ency."

Positions of Body.
Because the position? of body as?
sumed by the workers in the garment
making trade vary considerably accord?
ing to the character of their duties
and for classification purposes the
Public Health Service divided ?he
workers into rive classes cutters, op?
erators, fit- lera and miscel
laneouB. In the laat division are in?
cluded tailors, sample makers, button
makera, bushelmen and the like.
In two of these classes cutters and

were found extremely bad. Good post
