OTHER NEUTRALS MAY PROTEST TO GREAT BRITAIN COUNTRIES RESIDES UNITED STATES LIKELY TO ACT OVEIl SEIZURES. WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. President Wilson appealed to American shippers of non-contraband goods, such as cotton, not to allow their cargoes to be mixed with contraband articles. The United States government, he an nounced, could deal confidently with the difficulties which had arisen in the treatment of American commerce by Great Britain only If supported by absolutely honest manifest. This statement followed a discus sion by the president with his cabinet of the general shipping situation and of the note dispatched to Great Brit ain protesting at length against the British policy of prolonged detentions of cargoes and other Interference with American trade. Other Neutral May Act AIo. Publication of a synopsis of the note, the tenure of which was con firmed at the White House and state department, aroused much Interest, not only in diplomatic circles, but in congress aijd official quarters 'gener ally. Many diplomats of European and South American countries made formal Inquiry at the state depart ment concerning the note, and a memorandum on the subject was promised them. There was a confident feeling in diplomatic quarters that steps would be taken by other leading nations of this hemisphere, as well as by some European neutrals, to point out to Great Britain their acquiescence in the American point of view. Britain's Own View Reiterated. , From the way the president dls cussed the situation with callers, II was evident that the Washington government had spoken firmly of its desire for an improvement In the con dition of European commerce, and was prepared to Insist further on its rights. The president declared that the theory expounded by the United States in its note was, from the Am erlcnn point of view, hardly debatable na England had adhered In previous wars to the contentions now advanced by the Washington government At the cabinet meeting it was sug Rested that, in order to support the .American government In Its effort to protect cargoes of non-contraband goods, shippers and shipping com pa nics snouid be warned against con cealment of doubtful articles on the same ships. The White House then Issued Its suggestion to American hlp- pers to be careful about the manifests describing their cargoes. The presi dent said the great embarrassment to the government in dealing with the whole matter was that some shippers had concealed contraband In their cargoes of non-contraband articles.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30. Amazing unsanitary conditions in rural schools disclosed in investigation by the Unl ter States public health serlce In eaat tern Tennessee and northern Georgia will result In a nation wide campaign for improved hygiene In the country school houses, it Is announced. Examination of nearly 25,000 per sons, mostly school children, and many school buildings, showed among many other unhealthy conditions, soli pol utlon contributing to hook worm In fectlon. Large numbers of school children examined were suffering from trachoma, a dangerous contagl ous eye disease, which If not treated in time, impairs or even destroys vis ion. Also many physical and mental defects were observed, most of which the health service physician said could be corrected by improving hygiene and early treatment, but which is ne glected will cause needless suffering and hardship In later life. The Investigators foand little or no attention given to sanitation In the construction of the largest number of school buildings visited. Either in location, heating, lighting or ventila tion. seating of pupils, location of blackboards, or sanitary conveniences, they were found wholly inadequate and In several respects positively dan gerous. Drinking water for the children was found to be often derived from shallow wells, or unprotected spring which may cause the spread of dis ease. Open water buckets and com mon tin dippers were used extensive ly In the schools examined. "The necessity of extending to ru ral schools the same sanitary advant ages now enjoyed by urban schools Is therefore obvious," said the health service In a statement Just Issued. "This neglect of sanitary precautions observed in rural communities in un doubtedly due to lack of sanitary knowledge. Instructing the people in the value of sanitation will naturally serve to make them adopt measures such as are now In force in cities for the proper construction and main tenance of school buildings and the regular medical inspection of school children. School hygiene has a great economical value In that It serves to prevent the spread of disease and mnkrs the children now In th school healthier members of the community and of the country nt lurxe." Advice to housewives to buy chick ens undrawn and with their heads and feet still on Is given by the United States department of agriculture In a bulletin Just Issued. An undrawn chicken, It says, shows Its lack of freshness or Its unfitness for food much more clearly than doe a fully dressed bird. A crafty poultry dresser can easily remove certain significant signs of stateness, the department warns. When the feet of a chicken are re moved the housewife loses one of the easiest methods of telling the age of the bird. Young chickens huve smooth, clean feet and shangs. Old birds have rough, scaly legs and but tons or spurs. The head of a chicken that is not fresh will show n green Ish color below the bill, sunken eyes. and a darkening or discoloration on the neck, all of which indicates decay. The department of agriculture has issued a ruling that where fish, olivej or tomatoes are packed In brine, the label should state the net weight of the actual food exclusive of the brine. In the case of tomatoes packed whole in brine the label should be such a to distinguish them from ordinary canned tomatoes. Under another new ruling, pack ages of mixed candies labeled 'all fruit flavors." "assorted fruit fla vors,'' "fruit flavors." etc., are con sidered mlsbranded if the candles contained therein are prepared by the use of both true and artificial fruit flavors, for the reason that such la beling would give the Impression that only true fruit flavors had been used.
