Washington, I). C. — The United
States In Its latest note to Great Brit­
ain malic public here Monday, cover­
ing exhauatively British interference
with American trade since the begin­
ning o f the European war, declares
that the so-called blockade instituted
by the eilien against enemy countries
on March 11 it “ inelfectlve, illegal
and indefensible.”
N otice is served that the American
government “ cannot submit to the
curtailment o f its neutral rights and it
cannot with complacence suffer further
subordination o f its rights and in­
terests. ”
Ambassador Page, to whom the note
waa sent by special messenger for de­
livery to the Ixmdon Foreign office,
was instructed by Secretary I.arising
“ to impress most earnestly” upon the
British government that the United
States “ must insist that the relations
between it and His M ajesty’s govern­
ment be governed, not by a policy o f
expediency, but by tboee established
rules o f international conduct to which
Great Britain in the past has held the
United States to account when the lat­
ter nation was a belligerent engaged
in a struggle for national existence.”
Declaring the United States "un-
hesitatingly
assumes” the task of
championing the integrity o f neutral
rights, the note proclaims that the
American government w ill devote its
energies to the task, exercising al­
ways an impatrial attitude.
' The note, nearly 16,000 words long,
was made public by agreement be­
tween the State department and the
British Foreign office. It carries with
it a voluminous appendix, g ivin g the
text o f naval instructions issued in
1862 and a summary and table showing
hundreds o f vessels detained by British
authorities since the beginning o f the
present war.
The body o f the note is divided into
36 points, dealing with all phases of
the contraband question, seixures and
detentions, prior to, as well as after
the so-called blockade was instituted,
and announces that a separate commun­
ication w ill be sent soon dealing par­
ticularly with the
“ propriety and
right o f the the British government to
include in their list o f contraband of
war certain articles which have been
so included.”
Uathe your face for several minutes
with reslnol soap and hot water, then
apply a little reslnol ointment very
gently. I.ot this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with reslnol aoap and
more hot water, finish with a dash of
cold water to close the pores. Do this
once or twice a day. and you will be
astonished to find how quickly the
healing reslnol medication soothes
and cleansen tho pores, removes pim­
ples and blackheads, and leaves the
complexion clear and velvety.

A IK HOUSE LEADER
WILL OPPOSE DEfENSE PROGRAM
II!
Washington, D. C .— Representative
Claude Kitchen, Democratic leader of
the house, told
President
Wilson
Wednesday, after a long conference
with him, that he could not support
the administration’s program for Na­
tional defense and that he would op­
pose the program in a personal capa­
city only and not as a m ajority leader.
Mr. Kitchen was with the President
more than an hour, during which Mr.
Wilson outlined to him the army and
navy plans for the next seesion o f con­
gress and for the next five years, and
sought to influence the m ajority leader
to be in harmony with them.
“ A ll 1 can say,” said Representa­
tive Kitchen, as he le ft the White
House, “ is that I very much regret
that 1 cannot support the President’s
National defense program. The plana
do not meet with my convictions, par­
ticularly with reference to the navy.
1 shall make it a clear exposition o f
my views as soon aa congress convenes,
in a speech in the house,” he replied.
“ O f course, I shall not attempt to op­
pose the program as the m ajority
leader, but merely in my personal ca­
pacity.”
Mr. Kitchen said he thought it prob­
able that the m ajority would favor the
defense program.

The market at the moment is quiet,
but the prospects fo r the future could
hardly be brighter.
The smallness of
the Eastern crop, which is shown by
official returns, ia the cause o f the un­
derlying strength o f values and leads
growers to believe that the beat prices

The governm ent’s estim ate on the
acreage, yield and production o f onions
this year gives this season’s acreage
in Ohio as a little over one-third of
that o f 1914 with a yield o f one-fourth
per acre compared with the previous
year. The total Ohio production this
year is estimated about 383,000 bush­
els, compared with over 8.600,000
bushels in 1914. According to the re­
port, all other Middle Western and
Eastern onion producing states have
greatly decreased productions, partic­
ularly Indiana, which has about one-
fifth.
Massachusetts, N ew York and
Michigan outputs run from one-half to
three-fourths o f last year.
S i* o f the seven Western and Pa­

year in the 12 important onion-grow­
ing states is estimated at 13,801,709

bushels in 1914, a decrease o f 37 per
