hrond that If it is made eltoitlve all

key will be Impossible. It is ptoposed
to sclto not only Roods which may
be "presumed" to be of enemy destina
tion but also goods ownod by tho ene
mies) of the Allies or exported from their
territory.
That is trade between Germany and
Austria and Turkej and the rest of tho
world will even be Impossible by ship
ments of goods In and out through neu
tral countries, ll is generally helloed
that the ltrltisli and French lleets him
In a position to nialto thit most .sweep
ing prohibition of trade with their
enemies absolutely effective.
In the llrltlsh and French notes An
nouncing this determination on the part
of the Allies there Is not even an at
tempt to rest this pulley upon any prin
ciples of International Ian.
The entire burden of tho argument of
the notes U taken up with a demon
stration of how Germany has violated
nil International law. lntnrnatlon.il
agreements and even the laws of hu
manity In her proposals under the war
sconn decree.
It Is apparently the Intention of tho
allied Governments to justify their new
Iolicy by the lateet German policy. Just
as Sir Kdward Grey notltlud tho United
Htates In a recent note that Great
lirltaln could not be expected to remain
Itound by tho rules of International law
and provisions of warfare If her enemy
continued to disregard them.
The llrltlsh Indictment of the German
war zone operations is an echo In less
restrained lauguaxu of much that was
contained In the American note of pro
test to German, but Just as tho United
Ktates In that note refused to admit
what Great Tlrltalu to dolus to Ger
many as Justification of tho proposed
German naval operations, so with regard
to the Allies' new policy It Is Improbable
that this Government will permit Gor
many'a operations to stand as Its Justi
fication. The American policy Is to bare
nothing to do nltli the charges of the
belligerents against one another, hot to
stand Arm In Insistence upon American
tights, based on this (lorernment'i un
derstanding of International Ian.
HnsU of the Protc.it.
The basis of this Government's pro
test now NcoiiiK llkoly to lo the charge
that the allied Governments are propos
ing an unwarranted Interference with
the right of neutrale to trade with a
belllgeicnl In articles of non-contraband
and in the case of the neutral countries
adjacent to tho Allies' enemies with the
right of neutrals to trade with another.
Vhllu officials here have not yet had
time to study this new notice or reach
any final conclusions regarding It cer
tain consideration Involved have al
ready made themselves apparent.
It nas pointed out that the nen pol
icy of the Allies necks to obtain for
them all the advantages of a blockade
without any of Its responsibilities.
The Imposition of u blockade upon
Germany, Austria and Turkey Is no:
desired by the Allies because of the
grave dangers of euch a course by
on of mines and submarines and also
because of the vast number of whips
that would be required to mnKe such
blockades of the three e.nemv countries
effective.
What they have chosen In preference
to the blockade, according to the view
here, is to make all goods destined
to the onvmy contraband, whatever
their nnture, and at the same time de
claring their puipose to seize all goods
emanating from enemy countries.
The United Htate.s has already pro
tested to Great llrllnlti against Its ex
pansion nf the application of the rule
regarding contraband, particularly with
reierencis to goods ehlppcd via neutral
countries, over which there has been
ft great deal of friction.
An Astern va I Ion.
Tha new policy agra-ntes this bltua
t!im, Furtliermore, the burden of proof
regarding Innocence us to destina
tion Is thrown upon the, captured. The
captor, who under International law
heretofore turn borne thl. burden, Is
relieved.
The only consoling facta In the an
nouncement of the Allies' policy of re
taliation, a compared to the German
operations resporotlble for it, are the
umuronces given that the property
rights of neutrals -will be respected, ex
cept aa regnrds gooda ordinarily sub
ject to confiscation, and that there will
be full regard for neutral and non
combatant liven.
The basis of the Amorlcan protest lo
Germany was th law of humunlty and
the "strict accountability' to which Ger
many would be held by this Govern
ment, the American note declared, was
with reference to the destruction of
American life or property under the
wnr r.one decree
With reference to Germany, however,
the Government has been enjoying the
hope that no Ameilcan vessel or lives
would actua'ly lie destroyed, whercaw
with regard to tho Allies' policy it Is an
aesuied certainty that American trade
will suffer to a vast iimount
It was pointed out here to-day that
though tho United Slates will undimb'.
edly lodge a protest against the ne.v
imllcy, the net result will be that Ann-il-can
and other neutral Interests will
HUffnr the full elfects of It.
Them Is no doubt hern that the al
lied Government are fully prepared to
make polite replies to the protest i.f
neutrals and continue the policy Just as
long as they have sutllclent forces to
to so.
Puree Vol Kxnecteil.
That the United State will nnl at
tempt to Use foiie to ellfoue Its pro
le"t Is accepted ns a certainty here so
(hut the country will be pt.io.n ally cum
rxiled for the piesent to stiff e. the loi-ses

Doing business quickly
over L. B. counter-hights
Another advantage of Libiary Bureau counter
hight tiles they help you do business
quickly.
In addition to ample counter top, they provide
plenty of room below for filing and storage.
Here, within reach, you can have all the infor
mation needed when a customer comes in. No
chasing around after records that you should
have at hand. No calling to clerks to find out
where's this or that.
Again --L. B. counter-hight units give you
counter top, tiling space, more floor space. They
are built according to the system which gets the
most out of your office equipment that's L. B.
If you look upou your counters as so much
'waste space," we'd like to show you how to
utilize it.
