CHANGE Of POLICY IS INSISTED UPON United States "Unhesitatingly As sumes',' Task of Championing Cause of Neutral Rights. Washington, D. C. The United States in its latest note to Great Brit ain made public here Monday, cover ing exhaustively British interference with American trade since the begin ning of the European war, declares that the so-called blockade instituted by the allies against enemy countries on March 11 is "ineffective, Illegal and Indefensible." Notice is served that the American government "cannot submit to the curtailment of its neutral rights and it cannot with complacence suffer further subordination of its rights and in terests." - Ambassador Page, to whom the note was sent by special messenger for de livery to the London Foreign office, was instructed by Secretary Lansing "to impress most earnestly" upon the British government that the United States "must insist that the relations between it and His Majesty's govern ment be governed, not by a policy of expediency, but by those established rules of 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 of neutral rights, the note proclaims that the American government will 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, giving the text of naval instructions issued in 1862 and a summary and- table showing hundreds of vessels detained by British authorities since the beginning of the present war. The body of the note is divided into 35 points, dealing with all phases of the contraband question, seizures and detentions, prior to, as well as after the so-called blockade was Instituted, and announces that a separate commun ication will be sent soon dealing par ticularly with the "propriety and right of the the British government to include in their list of contraband ot war certain articles which have been so Included." Lord Kitchener Goes to Eastern field of War, Daily Globe Seized London "Lord Kitchener, at the request of his colleagues, has left England for a short viBit to the east ern theater of war. This announcement, made after a cabinet council an unusual meeting for Saturday and a long audience which Premier Asquith had with the king, set at rest rumors current as to the war secretary's present intentions. Almost simultaneously with the an nouncement of Lord Kitchener's pro posed visit to the east, the authorities seized the printing plant of the Lon don Globe, together with late issues. This is the first action of the kind taken by the authorities since the out break of the war against a daily paper in the United Kingdom. Some week ly papers, both in England and Ire land, including the Labor Leader, were similarly treated some time ago, but the Labor Leader, after a secret trial of the case, was allowed to re sume publication. - The Globe, while one of the oldest papers published in the country and long considered a staid and conserva tive organ, has latterly lost that char acter and has been chiefly noted for its violent attacks on public men during the administration of the liberal gov ernment. It has been one of the gov ernment a bitterest opponents and has, since the war, attacked virtually all of the members of the government. Hindu Invasion Is Feared. San Francisco That a recent decis ion of the United States Supreme court, In which It was decided that a band of Russians could not be kept out of the country because there was no work for them in the place for which they were bound, would open the doors to a Hindu invasion of California and the United States, is the opinion ex pressed by John L. McNab, ex-United States district attorney here. Accord ing to Mr. McNab, Federal judges of this district will have to accept in their future rulings the new principle. Woman Defies Officials. Chicago Mrs. Scott burand, wealthy owner ot a prise dairy herd, Monday threatened to shoot any state official who came to her farm to harm any of her cattle.

London The board of trade figures for October show an increase In im port ot 16,413,000 (82,065,000), Exports increased 3,867,000 (116,- B3o,000). The principal increases in imports were: Food, 3,000,000; chemicala and drugs, 1,000,000; raw materials, 8,000,000, of which cotton from America contributed 3,000,000. SUBMARINE SINKS ITALIAN LINER; 150 LIVES ARE REPORTED LOST Rome, via Paris The Italian liner Ancona was sunk Wednesday by a large submarine flying the Austrian colors. She carried 422 passengers and 160 in the crew. It is reported that 160 lives have been lost Two hundred and seventy survivors, some of them wounded, have been landed at Bizerta. New York The Ancona sailed from New York for Naples on October 17. She had on board 1245 Italian reserv ists and 'a general cargo. She arrived at Naples on October 29 and was due to sail from Naples for New York at once. She had a gross tonnaere of 8210. was 482 feet in length and 68 feet beams. All of her officers, engine-room force and members of the crew were aliens who shipped from Italy. For several months before Italy's entrance in the war the Ancona was engaged in carrying home Italian re servists from this country and supplies for the Italian government. On one of her trips from New York to Naples late in August last year the Ancona was stopped by the British at Gibral tar and 24 Germans and one Austrian were taken off the ship. Late last summer the Ancona left here for Italy with 76,000 bushels of wheat, 2000 tons of hay and 600 horses for the Italian government. On the same voyage she carried 800 Italians in the steerage who went back be cause, it was said at the time.- they could not get work in the New York subway. , William Hartfleld, general manager' of the Italian line, characterized the sinking of the Ancona as "an unneces sary crime" and "absolute murder." He immediately cabled the Naples office of his firm, asking for all infor mation regarding the disaster. Although he had no list of her pas sengers, Mr. Hartfleld said the Ancona on her last few voyages to this country had carried 800 or 400 passengers, among them several American citizens, in the first cabin and in the steerage. Most of her passenger list, Mr. Hart field said, "had been made up of women and children." He believed she carried a large number of women and children on her present voyage. lhe Ancona, at no time, said Mr. Hartfleld, carried guns or munitions of war, because it was against the rules of the company to carry munitions on the same vessel with passengers. The Ancona has been in the Italian line service for six yearB and with her cargo was valued at more than $1,- 000,000. - Hindu Pamphlet Containing Bryan Ideas Barred From Mails to India San Fancisco A pamphlet in Hindu containing extracts from William J. Bryan's "British Rule in India," was excluded Wednesday from the United States mails to India at the request of the British government, according to an announcement by Ram Chandra, editor of the Hindu Gadar, published here. The pamphlet is made up of 16 pages, containing extracts from Mr. Bryan's book, and is entitled "Anean di Gawahl," which in English means British Rule in India." After sending copies to India from San Francisco, Ram Chandra received a formal notice from Postmaster Fay. 1 nave to inform you," said the no tice, "that the' government of Idnia has prohibited the importation into British India of any copy of the pamphlet entitled 'Angan di Gawahl.' published by Yugantar, San Farncisco, whatever may be the language in which the pamphlet referred to may be printed. "Under theBe circumstaneos it will be necessary for this office to decline to accept for mailing to British India copies of the pamphlet referred to." Mr. Bryan's book, an arraignment of the British government of India, is based on personal investigation made on hiaour around the world several years ago. Mr. Bryan charges that the British, with the aid of native Princes, have been exploiting the peo ple to the extent of driving countless numbers of Hindus Into famine every year. Possibility of War Rules. Omaha In an address at the Uni versity Club Wednesday Senator Hitch cock advocated the development of na tional defense along practical and ef fective lines. "Preparations should be made, not because war is probable, but because it is possible. Five days before the breaking out of the Euro pean war," he declared, "99 out of 100 persons would have declared it im possible. "Yet." said he, "it came and it aroused the American people to the fact that war is possible, even to nations that try to avoid it." Shanghai Governor Slain. Shanghai Admiral Tseng Ju Cheng, governor of the Shanghai district, was assassinated Wednesday. His secre tary, who was with him at the time, was seriously wounded. Tseng Ju Cheng, who was a member of the mon archist party, with his private secre tary, was motoring to the Japanese consulate to attend the coronation re- cepiton when at the Garden Bridge two revolutionists fired 18 shots at them from automatic pistols. Tseng Ju Cheng waa immediately taken to a hospital, but died shorlty afterwrd. Cxar Expects 6-Year War.

The favorable turn of the weather Is welcomed by Oregon and Washington onion growers, who have no fear now of the long keeping of their product. The market at the moment ia quiet, but the prospects for the future could hardly be brighter. The smallness of the Eastern crop, which is shown by official returns, is the cause of the un derlying strength of values and leads growers to believe that the best prices in recent years will be realized before the season is over. The government's estimate on the acreage, yield and production of onions this year gives this season's acreage in Ohio as a little over one-third of that of 1914 with a yield of one-fourth per acre compared with the previous year. The total Ohio production this year is estimated about 883,000 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, New York and Michigan outputs run from one-half to three-fourths of last year. Six of the seven Western and Pa cific Coast onion states have an in crease. The productions of onions this year in the 12 important onion-growing states is estimated at 18,801,709 bushels, as compared with 21,901,014 bushels in 1914, a decrease of 87 per cent. The states Included in this esti mate are Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, Washing ton, Oregon and California. Prune Advance Sudden. The prune market of the Northwest has had a sudden and sharp advance, but at a time when it does this section but little good. Not only is the 1915 pack out of first hands, but practically all out of second hands, as well. The course of the market, which is due solely to the export demand, has been a great surprise to the trade. Prune dealers and packers had anti cipated a slow demand because of the war, and consequenlty low prices. In stead of this, the business has assumed very large proportions and prices are advancing at a rapid rate. It is esti mated that the trade in the United States, since the season opened, has been 50 per cent larger than ever be fore in the corresponding period. ' Barley In Flurry. Portland The barley market sud denly developed Into the strongest feature of the grain trade this week. Bids at the exchange were raised to the highest points of the season, but the advance did not tempt holders to let go. The trade has come to a real ization that barley supplies remaining in the Northwest are not heavy, and this has prompted a good deal of spec ulation in the country. There ia ex port demand, for this cereal, but it is figured that the prices now ruling here are above export value. Spuda Bring Good Price. Tacoma Netted gem potatoes from Eastern Washington will be demanding $20 a ton this week. The commodity now is wholesaling at $18 and the busi- neea ia reported unusually brisk. The presence of buyers in the fields in that section of the state has caused fanners to hold on to their crops and it ia rather difficult to get the tubers, according to commission men. The quality of the spuds is said to be the beet known in years and with the demand increasing regularly It is thought the prices will reach more than $25 this winter. Moderate Trade In Hop Market, Portland Several hop sales were announced this week, but the beet price reported wu 10 cents, which the Seavey Hop company paid to a local dealer for 104 bales. THOUSANDS OF "WETS" MARCH IN CHICAGO'S SUNDAY PROTEST PARADE Chicago Forty-one thousand three hundred and eighty-six persons, by actual count, paraded the streets of Chicago Sunday in protest against the enforcement of the Sunday-closing law. - ' ..... It had been announced that more than 100,000 persons had been pledged to parade. The day was perfect and returns indicate that the liquor forces turned out their extreme strength They fell nearly 40,000 short of the McKinley prosperity parade, the larg est in the city's, history, when more than 80,000 persons passed the review ing Btand. , - There was strict order in the great parade and also among the more than three-quarters of a million spectators lining the line of march. The city furnished a small force of mounted po lice, although this was done grudging ly, as the parade was looked upon by the officials as anarchistic in its pur pose and as a public protest against enforcement of the law. But the mounted police and patrolmen handled the situation admirably. There was little drunkenness, at least before and during the parade. The managers of the demonstration saw explicitly to that, ;:, ... After the parade was over, however, there were many celebrations at which the regulations were modified or re moved altogether. The demonstration was overwhelm ingly foreign in its make-up. Of the thousands of banners, few were in the English language. Banners proclaim ing the virtues of personal liberty and home rule were borne by untersteut zungvereins and geselscbaf ts and maen nerchors by the score. The sections were led by former German-Austran army men, who executed the goose step as they passed the reviewing stand. There were many cheers for the Kaiser, although the promoters frowned severely on this part 01 the demonstration. The marchers were grouped by races, and many wore the brilliant cos tumes of their native lands. Along side were automobiles and ' wagons bearing the women of the same races, in the gaily-colored gowns of their own lands. Japan's New Emperor Eaters Ancient Capital in Great State Kioto, Japan A churchlike hush enveloped Kioto, the ancient capital of the empire, when Emperor Yoshihito and a gorgeous cortege -made -their stately entry into the city at 2 o'clock Sunday. A similar scene never was witnessed in the Western world. ,- The emperor and the imperial shrine were silently worshipped by . his sub jects. The cortege was regarded as a sacred, mystic and religious proces sion. : ; ' '"" - Although a desire to avoid accident was a controlling factor, one of the chief reasons for imposing silence up on the multitude was a wish to main tain reverence for the monarch aa he arrived in the city at sacred coronation rites. -, The Japanese viewpoint found ex pression when the master of ceremon ies said to the Americans and other foreigners who were assigned to vant age points In the palace grounds: "When the shrine and the emperor pass, please remove your hats and bow, but do not cheer." A gray Autumn day added to the solemnity of the scene when the pro cession entered the palace grounds In a purely Japanese setting. Hundreds, bent 'with years, stood with soldiers, reservists and thousands of delegates from the societies of the empire. The - cortege was an exact representation of the one which passed through Tokio. t The shrine, hidden behind curtains of purple, gold and red, borne on the shoulders of yellow- kimonoed villagers, was preceded by priests afoot and followed by the em peror in the royal golden coach. Holland Interns U-Boat. London The Amsterdam correspond ent of the Exchange Telegraph com-. pany says that a German submarine which stranded near Terschelling, has been interned with its crew by the Dutch government. , The German submarine U-8 .Was towed into Terschelling by a Dutch life-boat on November 4, after the un- der-water boat had stranded and had made signals of distress.

Scientific investiga tion has shown that there are far more customers who do not care for that kind ot sociability than who do, and now the vast majority of salesmen on the road make it a special point never to call on a customer with a breath that smells of alcohol.- Those who do not mind it are not repelled by a cleau breath; and those who do mind It are saved from something that disgusts them." :- ' - The last two sentences could be re written to advantage, but they state an important fact: booze and business do not mix.
