WILL SEARCH VESSELS BUT IS MUCH PLEASED WITH aa>i>m^aiA r> a si pab APOXI Amcnik/Mo ru?n rvn vcnir FlCATION OF CARGOES. Washington Government Notifies Ship* pera That Officer to Supervise Loading Will Be Furnished. London.?Although the foreign office regards with high favor the American government's pl&n of certifying cargoes destined for Europe, it was said that England cannot accept such certification as an absolute guaranty of the nature of the cargo in case cause for suspicion arises after a vessel leaves America. In other words, the right of search, cannot be waived because of the possibility of shifting cargoes at sea. The waiving of the right of search in the opinion of prominent British l officials, would be an invitation for smuggler) to carry contraband to sea in small- boats and transfer it to a ship of certified cargo. The position is precisely the same as that taken by the foreign 'office concerning cer tlfl cation of manifests by British consuls at American ports. The Government constantly is in communication with representatives of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Holland, and it is reported these nations are now taking steps to revise their lists of prohibited exports to correspond with (he British contraband list. That would makg possible a resumption of shipping to neutral European countries from America with delays or danger of seizure. Owing to failure of the London newspapers to discuss the preliminary negotiations between Ambassador Pagd and Foreign Secretary Grey extending over several weeks before the American note was presented, the English public was not well advised concerning the difference which grew up. Even no^ the opinion is quite general, notwithstanding publication Wilson denied iJhgland's right of search. Consequently much of the shook occasioned by the presentation of the American note was due to misapprehension and now is disappearing on account of the calm and friendly attitude of the government. 1 Canal Slides Prove Difficult Washington.?Governor Goethals of the Panama Canal Zone told a house appropriation sub-commitee that the slides in the big waterway had proved much more extensive than was at first thought. At the point where they occurred,-he sa.'d, there is a channel ' 100 feet wide pad 35 feet deep, but shoaling has complicated the situation. He did not discuss the probable effect on plans for sending the American fleet through the canal in March, but said the Zone government was working the dredges 20 hours a day. jby > Turkish Advance Ends In Disaster* London.Two of the three Turkish columns which last week invaded the Russian Caucasus have met with disaster and the troops not killed or captured are in diserderly retreat. Th? Rnsnlnnn ftlstn rfinnrt another victory over the Austrians in - the Uzsok Pass of the Carpathians. Emperor Francis Joseph's army in this region is declared to be In full retreat in a mountain pass deep in snow with Russian cavalry attacking its flank and rear. By forcing this pass, the Russians gain control of some of the most valuable oil flelds in Austria, and thus shut off another Bource of fuel supplies, which the Austro-German armies are said to so much need. While forcing back the Turks and Austrians the Russian troops are holding the line of the Mazurian Lakes in East Prussia; are fighting strenuously to withstand the German offensive in North Poland; are advancing towards Cracow and have crossed Bukowina, which is now virtually in their possession. In North Poland where Russia is confronted with the most serious task, the weather is proving a useful ally. The Germans, according to their accounts, are making only slow prog-1 resa with their offensive operations. ; ;vvvfj:\ ; .

New Orleans.?A three-day celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of peace among English-speaking people was held on the site of the last armed conflict between the United States and Great Britain. The ceremonies opened with the fifing of a salute of 2 guns so timed t'.i il the last gun boomed at 8:20 o'clock, exactly 100 years to the minute, according to historians, that General Jackson finally triumphed over the British on the field of Chalmette near New Orleans. Peace advocates from many parts of the United States and Canada witnessed formal exchange of greetings between a repreaentative or tne .r resident of the United States and an especially appointed envoy of the King of England, watch the unveiling of a monument to General Jaokson and the maneuvers of the Seventh United States Infantry and other regular soldiers transported from Texas City, Texas, for the celebration. The Seventh Infantry composed a part of Jackson's command 100 years ago. The soldiers were in charge of Brig. ' Gen. J. Franklin Bell, commanding officer of the Second Division who is here with 72 other army officers and 2,000 ~men. Sailors also took part in the Chalmette ceremonies and a military parade was commanded by Rear Admiral McLean, who arrived here> on the battleship Rhode Island from , Cera Cruz.

If the Turkish feet Is as sweeping as has been reported officially?the virt- , ual destruction of two Turkish army corps and the repulse of a third?the Turkish menace against the Russians in Trans-Caucasia has been removed. The loss of so many of their best trained officers and men ,it is ?el eved here, will* compel , the Turks to give up any ambition they had of invading their enemy's territories and force them to concentrate/ on the defense of their own country.

Villa promised not to expose the ( American towns to fire for more than eight hours, at the end of which period he promised the Carranza garrisons would have surrendered or would be driven into the United States. ( Half Villa's force passed through Juarez en route to Casas Grandes when the troops will move oveTland into Senora. It was at a 'great sacrifice" to his campaign against Carranza. forces on the Eastern seaboard that he came north, Villa stated, in order to settle the Arizona border difficulty. interest in the Russian invasion of Hungary through Uzsok Pass in the Carpathians, and their rapid advance on Transylvania through Bukowlna simultaneously with their movement toward Cracow. These combined operations are the most gigantic undertaking in the war. In the meantime the Russians are held by the Austro-Germaas in Western Galicia. Field Marshal yon Hindenburg, the German commander in Northern Poland, can move but slowly in his offensive operations against Warsaw because of the muddy roads. Thirty-Day Rate Reduced. Richmond.?The board of directors of the Richmond Federal reserve bank authorized a reduction of onehalf of one per cent in the re discount rate on thirty-day paper. The new ; rate, 4 -2 per cent is effective at once. ' The ottxer rates, 5 per cent for 60 to 90 day paper and 6 per cent for more than 90 days, are unchanged. Governor George Seay said that the reduction was ordered because of the general reduction in discount rates , throughout the country. i ; i Tennessee Liquor Laws.
