Slavery Originated lit the East.. ...
-' Absolute slavery seems to have ap
peared in the eastern colonies some
what earlier than in the southern, for
slavery existed in New York in 1628,
In New Jersey in 1628, in Massachu
setts in 1630, in Connecticut in 1631
and in Delaware in 1636. There was
a statutory recognition of slavery in
Massachusetts in 1641, which was con
siderably ahead ot such recognition
of slavery in Virginia or Maryland.
Bayberry Shrub.
- The plant from which the bayberry
candle is made is the shrub Myrcla
cerlfera, a plant which is common in
New England, and especially along the
ooast of Maine. The bayberry shrub
Is not closely related to the Myrcla
acrls, or West India bay, from the
leaves of which bay rum is obtained
by distillation.

Germany Is Closed to
All lraffie by Allies
Washington, D. C. By the "un
limited blockade", of their enemies,
the allies hope to cut off their trade
with the, world, which prior to the
war was valued as follows:
Germany, $4,800,000,000.
Austria-Hungary, $1,200,000,000.
Turkey, $276,000,000.
The trade of these countries with
the United States during the last year
of peace was valued at :
Germany, $635,000,000.
Austria-Hungary, $51,000,000.
Turkey,t$12,263,000.
London If the combined fleets of
Great Britain and France can prevent
it no commodities of any kind except
those now on the seas shall henceforth,
until the conclusion of the war, reach
or leave the shores of Germany.
This is England's answer to Ger
many's submarine blockade and it is to
be effective forthwith.
Premier Asquith, reading ' from a
prepared statement, made this an
nouncement in the house of commons
Tuesday afternoon at a session which
will be historic, studiously avoiding
the terms "blockade and. "contra
band" for these words occur nowhere
in the prepared statement the pre-1
mier explained that after this day the
allies considered themselves justified
in attempting, and would attempt, to
detain and take into port ships car
rying goods of presumed enemy destin
ation, ownership or origin."
The premier emphasized, however,
that vessels and cargoes so seized were
not necessarily liable to confiscation
and begged the patience of neutral
countries in the face of a step through
which they were likely to suffer. He
added that in making such a step the
allies had done so in self defense.
'We are quite prepared," he went on,
'to submit to the arbitrament of neu
tral opinion and still more to the ver
dict of impartial history, that in the
circumstances in which we have been
placed we have been moderate; we
have been restrained; ., we have ab
stained from things that we were pro
voked and attempted to do, and we
have adopted a policy which .commends
itself to reason, to common sense and
to justice."
Every member of the house not at
the front in khaki or unavoidably
detained was in his seat to hear the
prime minister's speech and there was
frequent cheering. The galleries were
packed. When the premier concluded
his set statements and, turning to the
speaker, said, "That, sir, is our re
ply, there was a tremendous outburst.
Curiously, the German reply to the
American note seeming to solve the
situation growing out of Germany's
declaration of a naval war zone, was
handed to Ambassador Gerard at Ber
lin and Premier Asquith, in his speech
said that Great Britain and her allies
were carefully considering the Amer
lean note to them on the same subject.
That the British government had re
jected the proposal, he declared, was
"quite untrue.
Protestants, Catholics and
Jews Sign Peace Letter
New York The Church Peace Un
ion, founded a year ago by Andrew
Carnegie, through its secretary, the
Rev. Frederick Lynch, made public
here a message which the union has
addressed to "the churches and clergy
of America," cautioning ministers
and church people against partisanship
in discussing the European war, and
protesting against the present agita
tion for increased armaments. This
is said.to be the first time in church
history that Catholics and Protestants
have joined in signing a common letter
addressed to the churches. The Feace
Union's letter is signed, by Cardinal
Gibbons of Baltimore, and Archbishop
Glennon, of St. Louis. The president
of the union is the Right Rev. David
H. Greer, Protestant Episcopal Bishop
of New York.
At the first meeting of the Church
Peace Union on February 10, 1914, it
was announced that Mr. Carnegie had
made it an endowment of $2,000,000,
its aim being the furtherance of the
cause of international peace through
the united efforts of all religious bod
ies. Twenty-nine prominent clergy
men and churchmen, representing all
denominations, includnig Jewish or
ganizations, were appointed trustees.
It is these men who have signed the
message in question. Following is one
of the Btriking paragraphs in the let
ter:
'Partisanship is adding fuel to Area
of passion which already are too hot.
Clergymen should allay prejudice, not
intensify it. Each of the waning na
tions believes in the justice of its

American army surgeons are con

They are so sharp pointed that when
