UNCLE SAM KECEITES JIVTJES H'ttUM AKHUAJLT Three Communications From Great Britain and One From Germany Reach State Department Washington, Aug. 2.?TViree notes from Great Britain and one from Berlin, all dealing with the commercial rights of neutrals, were before Secretary Lansing today. The British notes probably will be given to the press for * 1 TTT-.J i OT^ "PU DilCiiliUII yv euiit^uct y mux uiu<g auu the German note the following day. The British note defends efforts of tfce allies to suppress trade between their enemies and neutral countries even by the stoppage of abnormal commerce through neutral countries adjacent to the Teutonic allies. Precedents in international law establish ed by the United States during tne Cirvil -war, and especially in the prac tical blockade of the Bahamas to cut off supplies from tJ.ve Confederate States, are revived to support this assertion of right. There also are citations of decisions by the United States supreme court. 5 L 3 _ j X _ ? Tne note was mit?nuea iu iutrci mc, objection of the lUnited States that previous British notes had dealt only with special cases t?at seemed to jus-1 tify the British action, failing to an-' swer the American contentions that tne whole process of interference with ; neutral commerce violates interna-: tional law. After it had been dispatched to Washington new conditions arose tl-at determined tne British! government to amplify its arguments. One of the conditions was a strong protest against seizure of the American ship Neches Rotteran for New York with Belgian and German goods. This made necessary a defense of the allies' right to cut off Germany's export trade to neutral countries. The second note deals with this issue, and it is understood it contends that an actual blockade of North Sea ports exists and that, regardless of < British orders in council, there is an i inherent rignt m tne uiocActuiiig ers under international law to suppress traffic of this kind. While the controversy is proceeding, unofficial efforts are being made to release for tlie [American markets goods now awaiting export at Rotterdam by proving Belgian origin and American own-1 ership. Thp last note of the series replied j to the American caveat of July 17, saying the United States would be governed only by the principles of international law in dealing with detentions. Tine British foreign office holds that the orders in council comply witlhi the spirit of international iottt t'nrmorh it admitted that a new lo? r* , u^vu^u. ?v ? - application of these principles has been made. British. prize court proceedings pro1 yoked the American communication. The British contend that wfaere international issues we^e pending before the 'United States courts tuat ract nas been recognized by the London government as a reason for deferring diplomatic protests. It is held that the United States government can .not assume that its merchandise ?as suffered permanent injury since there {is always tne ngnt 01 uipiumatu; i-ci view of prize court decisions and even of arbitration under a special treaty between the United States and Great Britain. The German note, * continuing the discussion over the sinking of the American skip William P. Frye by a German commerce raider, deals with the American contention that not only international law, but also the treaty of 1828 between the United States and Prussia, has been violated. The note contends that, while the treaty does confer special privileges and exemptions upon American shipping, these can be met and tfae right still reserved to sink merchant ships on the understanding to compensate owners there for. An answer to the British notes soon will he forthcoming, but predictions are lacking as to the course to be taken in regard to the German note. BEAYERS IS REDUCED. Atlanta Police Chief Disciplined by Commissioners. Atlanta, Aug. e.?James u weavers, chief of police of the Atlanta police department, was found guilty of insubordination and reduced to the rank of captain by the board of police commissioners late today. It was an-1 nounced that t):e charge of inefficiency, also brought against the police &ead, had not been sustained. Disregard of the board's instructions and failure to suppress crime were al- j leged against Beavers. He had been head of the police department since 1911 and attracted wide attention in 1912 when he abolished Atlanta's segregated vice district and established "vice squads" to patrol the city. After Beavers had been deposed, W. M. Mayo, a captain, was elected to! succeed him. Beavers announced late tonight that he would submit a formal refusal of the captaincy to the police board tomorrow, but would not indicate what, if any, other action would be taken. YlCTDf OF BATTLE SNAKE. Little Girl Lives f!4 Hours After She Was Bitten. News and Courier. Walterboro, Aug". 3.?The 2-year-old daughter of Mrs. Annie Garris of Round, this ounty, met with a horrible death yesterday, the result of a rattlesnake bite on Sunday. The cfcild, it seems, was going down a path in some weeds and the snake apparently was lying across the jmth, the child stepping on it. The strike was fair, hit tinig the child in the large toe, and making a deep wound, from wfoich blood was pouring when assistance came. The leg was corded, prolonging the life of the child for twenty-four A f ?

Had this not been done, the doctors state, death would have 'resulted in ten minutes. The snake was a male and the male rattlesnake, unlike tfte female, has no rattles, thus giving no warning of its deadly siriKe. When it was attempted to kill the snake it put up a fierce fight, and two men were required to kill it, and then with considerable danger to themselves. This is the first fata'ity of its kind in the county for several years, and tfte age of the child makes it more sad.
