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.

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.

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

hours. 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.
