U. S. SHIPPERS TO E THE MORXiyG OR EG OX TAX. TUESDAY. NOVE31BER 9, 1915. IGNQR BLOGKAD E America to Back AH Claims for Seizure by British. L Course !s Problem. DELAY IN REPLY EXPECTED Acw Controversy Is Likely to Arise on What Articles Shall Be In eluded. In Contraband List. Few Expect Rupture. WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. President Wilson and Secretary Lansing today read American ana British press com ment on the latest note sent by the Cnited States to Great Britain, and awaited the effect of the document upon jaritish treatment of neutral over seas trade. So far as American Bninners ar con cerned. however, the dispatch of the Jiute mams a turning point of vast im portance, for henceforth the United States is to consider the British blockade as ineffecti ve and Innnprn. tive and all cargoes of non-contraband gooas destined for Germany or through neutral countries to the enemies of Great Britain would be viewed by this Government as immune from detention. Claims presented by Americans for de tentions or seizures of such goods will be supported by the diplomatic ma chinery of the United States to the luuesi extent. Britain' Course Problem. Speculation in official quarters today iu wnai ureat Britain's course mouia oe was varied. Some officials pointed out that if Great "Britain aban doned all pretense of blockade and ap plied the lawe of contraband, the forth coming American note on the pro priety of including various articles in the contraband list would be especially pertinent to the controversy. On the other hand, if the blockade is made legal so far as German coasts are con cerned, the American Government will continue to insist that legitimate trade with the neutral countries must not be interfered with. ' What American officials express par ticular concern about in connection with the alleged illegal practices of Great Britain is the large trade they say Great Britain herself is carrying on with, neutral ports from which American exporters are barred. One Phase Deemed Indefensible. It is this feature of the situation which officials regard as most serious and indefensible. They say if Great Britain held her own shippers to a normal trade witV. neutral countries, the application of rigid measures to American traders might be less offen sive, though the aspects of law would not be affected. In allied diplomatic quarters here the note was not commented upon offi cially, but uniformity of view was no ticeable. The British opinion as re flected in official quarters was that the United States was figuring on technical grounds and failed to take into consideration the altered circum stances of present war and the enlarged facilities for rapid communication by rail between Dutch and Danish ports for example, and German cities. French I and Russian officials pointed out that their governments were in sympathy with the attitude of their ally. Great Britain, and that while the British Foreign Office was conducting the ne gotiations, this did not mean their gov ernments were any the less interested. Acute Controversy Not Expected. Among all of the allied diplomats the view prevailed that the controversy would not become acute, it being point ed out that even if a deadlock wao reached in the negotiations, the Bryan peace treaties still were available for a year's investigation of the points in dispute. These pacts have been rati fied between the United States and all of the allies. In German quarters the arguments in the American note were commended as sound and justified by international law. German officials, however, said they were much more interested in what measures the United States would take to obtain acquiescence to its ex pressed views. In view of the length of the note, an answer from Great Britain is not ex pected for at least a month. CHOLERA TOLL IS HEAVY Scourge Fatalities Among Armenians in Tabriz Put at 100 Daily. NEW YORK. Nov. 8. Cholera has added its terrors to the burdens of Armenian refugees who fled the Tigris and Euphrates valleys to Tabriz, ac cording to meager advices received here today by the Presbyterian board of foreign missions. One hundred a day Is now the average mortalitv from the scourge in Tabris alone, the advices state. Urmiah. the recent fighting guard of Kurds and native Christians, also is afflicted, the board announced. Tiflis. Russia, is similarly in the grip of an epidemic which has already caused 700 deaths. It is thought likely that these deaths were due to cholera, also, although the nature of the disease is not designated in advices.

Ganauno, Mex ican Consul here, said tonight that one of the deserters had informed him that General Villa, while greatlv denressed. went to Cananea with the avowed pur pose of getting drunk.

(Special.) Two Tacopia clubwomen, acting as a committee for the Monday Civic Club, are going to Drave the wilds of the so called "night rider" district of Pa cific County, on North River, to find out for the ciub the real facts about conditions pictured to the club by Mrs. Margaret Ross, who declares her sons are innocently suffering solitary con finement in jail. . The Monday Civic is one of the best known women's clubs of the city. Mrs. Ross appeared before it this afternoon and reduced many of the . women to prolonged tears by her portrayal of her wrongs and her denunciation of Pa cific County officials. "As a woman and a mother. I am oing to see those boys." spoke up Mrs. T. J. Hamilton, president of the Sunshine Society. Acting upon a sug gestion of Governor Lister that the women interested in 'the case send a committee to Pacific County to inves tigate the entire case, the club then appointed Mrs. Hamilton and Rev. Ab bie E. Danforth as a committee to act. Asked afterward if thev wer not afraid to go into the wilds on their quest for information. Mrs. Hamilton saia. "i am not afraid of anything," and Mrs. Danforth laughingly replied, '"I do not know what fear is." w e will investigate the guilt or innocence of these boys, but investi gating the officials whom Mrs. Ross accuses of corruption is out of our line," said Mrs. Danforth. I expect to consult a lawver In rn. gard to the best method of procedure and I will follow Mrs. Ross' own sug gestion of hearing all sides of the story." M' "Y.

Adv, Mention of Xame as Presidential Candidate Never Encouraged by ex-Senator and Friends Pre- . diet He Will Forbid Use. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. 'Wash ington, Nov. s. Whether or not ex Senator Elihu Root was eliminated as a Republican Presidential possibility when the voters of New. York over whelmingly rejected the new constitu tion, is a popular topic of discussion among Eastern politicians, with a 'pre ponderance of belief that the rejection of the constitution dealt the Root boom a vital blow. Regardless of the division of opinion on that score, however. It is agreed universally that Mr. Root would have been a much more potent factor in the Republican Presidential contest next year had the constitution, which he fathered, been adopted by the people of his state. It is but fair to Mr. Root to say that he has never yet been an avowed can didate for the Republican nomination. For months admirers have been urging him to announce his candidacy, and failing In that, they have urged him at least to declare himself a receptive can didate, in order that they may have something on which to build up an organization. But as yet Mr. Root has rerusea to be drawn Into the contest. and the Root boom, if such it may be termed, is nothing more than the clamor of a large number of New York Republicans who want to make him the favorite son of the state, aided and abetted by friends in some of the other states naving no favorite sons. Air. Koot took great pride In the new constitution, which was drafted after months of effort, by a convention over wnicn he presided. Had that con stitution been adopted, and Mr. Root's long Mmmen work been indorsed by the voters, it is quite possible, and by some believed probable, that Mr. Root would at least have formally assented to the use of his name in the Presiden tial contest But Mr. Root and the new constitu tion were intimately associated in the minds of the New York voters, and many of the criticisms made of the constitution were criticisms of Mr. Root. Being a rather sensitive, and in some ways a timid man, Mr. Root doubtless felt bitterly the defeat of the constitution, and some of his intimate friends believe that he will now re fuse to sanction the use of his name for the Presidential nomination.

If you must have your meat every day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with, salts occasionally, says a noted author ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid neys in their efforts to expel it from the blood.
