BRITAIN EXERCISING CAUTION.
Keeking to Avoid Any Clash With the
United States.
London. Aug. 27.-The Daily
Chronicle to-day warns the Kngllsh
government of the danger of longland
becoming embroiled with the United
States over questions of contraband
of war and argues that any estrange
ment between the two countries
would be the extreme of had manage
ment.
"lt must be the guiding principle
of tlie British government," the arti
cle says, "to direct its naval policy so
that we may not become embroiled
with any neutral power. lu nearly
every war of the past two centuries
we Incurred this danger.
"The only really powerful neutral
nation ol' tho present time is tho Uni
ted States. If there is a wise states
manship, we shall remain in perfect,
amity with that power, as with the
Netherlands, which possesses the
great gateway loading to the heart of
Germany.
"The United States has the right to
send cargoes to Rotterdam and will
exercise that right. We mus! lie pre
pared to see neutral American vessels
discharging cargoes in Holland ports.
Many questions are likely to arise re
garding the exclusion of absolute or
conditional contraband - that ls,
things that may be used hy tho Ger
man naval and military forces.
"It has been the British prac tice to
regard as liable to capture any con
traband ca -goes concerning which It
could be proved they had an ulterior
hostile destination. It ls evident
that .his provision presents a real
danger, as the character of a cargo
can only be ascertained by exercising
the right of search, which the United
States has strongly resisted and
WORDS FROM HOME.
Statements that May He Investigated.
Testimony ol' Walhalla Citizens.
When a Walhalla citizen comes to
the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing In far-away places
do not command your conlldence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Donn's Kidney Pills. Such
testimony is convincing. Investiga
tion proves it true. Below is a state
ment of a Walhalla resident. No
stronger proof ol" merit can be had.
J. V. Howland, Main street. Wal
halla. S. C., says: "My kidneys were
disordered, as was shown by too fre
quent passages of the kidney secre
tions. I had backache and pains In
my loins and sides and felt miserable
in every way. Doan's Kidney Pills,
which I got at Dr. Deli's drug store,
soon relieved these troubles and
made nie feel better in every way.
Mj advice to every one having trou
ble from disordered kidneys is to give
Doan's Kidney Pills a trial."

which was the cause of the War o'
1812.
"Picture then, an American ship
approaching the port of Rotterdam
and a British naval officer exercising
the right to search and detaining the
ship on tin- presumption that her
grain cargo is contraband. The cool
est judgment will be needed in such
a case to avoid a dispute and a mis
il nderst a tiding.
"It bas been suggested that wo al
low food ships to enter Dutch ports
on the mero declaration that their
cargoes are not in transit, to the
enemy. Whether such a declaration
would bo auffielen I it ls difficult to
say, but it is evident that the offi
cers of the fleet should have very
definite Instructions on these points
to avoid any estrangements."
COULD STOP EUROPEAN WAR
By Putting Embargo on Exporta of
Grain to Warring Nations.
I
New York, Aug. 27.-Tko United I
States government could stop tho I
European war by placing an embargo |
on food products, it was asserted at j
District Attorney Whitman's "John
Doe" investigation into the increased
cost of living since tiie conflict began, j
Jas. W. Warner, president of the (
New York Produce Exchange, and
George Zabrinski, resident manager
for Minneapolis flour manufacturers,
each said the end of warfare abroad j
must result if America ceased ex
porting to the belligerent,nations.
There ls a big demand for flour in
foreign countries, according to these
witnesses, with a heavy demand, too,
in domestic markets. Mr. Zabrinski
said there is a shortage of 400.000,
000 bushels in the Russian wheat
crop. He declared the United States
could dispose of Its entire flour out
put to France, England, Greece and
Turkey at any reasonable price and
receive payment in gold before the
staple was put aboard steamships.
Not only would war in Europe end
If an embargo was placed on Ameri
can products, Mr. Zabrinski and Mr.
Warner agreed, but normal markets
would be established at home and the
prices here go down.
Mr. Warner said the Grain Export
ers' Association of North America
did not attempt to fix pirces.
R. L. Carl, assistant New York
manager for a Minneapolis milling
company, declared there was no com
bine to fix prices. He believed there
was a possibility of wheat going
higher.
