I AMERICAN NOTE OVERI
SHADOWS OTHER NEWS
When Received in London Last
Week and Read by People
OFFICIALS NOT* SURPRISED
( _____
United States Will Stand by
Her Demands in Matter?
Had Been Looking for
This to Happen
The American note protesting
against the British treatment of Amor
ican commerce and insisting upon an
early improvement, seemed to over
I shadow hi the mind ct the British pub- i
lie today the news from the European
battlefields. While the note caused
no surprise in official circles, it was I
wholly unexpected by the British public,
as there had been virtually no intimation
that any friction had arisen
between the two governments.
Placards posted by the evening papers
were given over exclusively to
the American note and the papers
gave it th hirgest hen -lines the y
have given any news dr."in v the past
month. Consequently, the Briti. h pen
pie regard t! s as o: e ' th - most important
occurrences 0" tlv- whole war.
The United States protest to Great
k Britain against detention of American
cargoes by British warshi; - ca.sfd
little surprise in official circles. For
several months iu got-at in as on the
subject have ber-n in nr i< ' ' e'v.*cen
Ambassador Page and For ign Secretary
Grey, < 11 the American not ? synopsis
of which was published, is regarded
as a summary of the gricVB

i (.in 1 k. U.ik Ill tin ?> l'l U
nection.
The note itself had not ?*cache 1 tr.o ;
foreign office, and imtil it docs no Official
comm. nl L- expected.
The foreign office, hower, li e con
f stantly reiterated its regret at the de i
lay to American ships end high officials
have expressed a desire to oxneditc
examinations of American eargoes
as much as possible umk r the ex
isting trying conditions.
Statements that the delaying of car
goes by the British authorities is held:
responsible for a certain depression in
American trade have created some sur1
prise. Officials expressed the opinion
that Americans holding such views
must fail to take into consideration
the sweeping effect upon American
commerce of the disappearance of
German merchant ships from the sea,
as well as other effects of the war beyond
the control of Great Britain and
her allies. It is believed in London
that the foreign office will make a dc- j
tailed statement as to the activity cf
tlic navy in rV fr.ir;nc sr.rpcctr I cargoes
which will put these contrabar 1
troubles in a dill" :"-nt light. The foreign
office v pcate lly has expressed
its regret that merchants in no way
violating the neutrality should suffer
delay because copper and other articles
declared contraband frequently
have been found id d irrhr coal or
other heavy carg c:-. But at the same
time it take-, the posith n that trans-'
shipments at sea and other sharp prac
tices have mad-; careful inspection ivn
perative. frequently cargoes are so
loaded that an inspection makes neccessary
a complete shifting of virtually
everything in the vessel.
The statement that the American
protest i.-> thoroughly approved by
President Wilson has created much
comment and has added weight to its
effect. There is some disposition in
London, however, to regard it to a
certain extent as a measure to satisfy
insistent demands in Congress.
Particular surprise has been expressed
by officials at the disposition
of certain Americans to hold Cheat
Britain partly responsible for the depression
in cotton.
Officials believe that to be due to
over-production, and not to any action
on the part of the government.
In Washington President Wilson
to American shippers of non-contraband
not to permit contraband articles
to be mixed with their cargoes.
* He said the United States could deal
confidently with the problems of the
British detention of American ships
only if supported by honest manifests
The President's statement followed
a discussion with his cabinet of the
general shipping situation and of the
protest sent to Great Britain against
prolonged detention of American cargoes
and other interferences with
' American trade.
Publication of a synopsis of the
note aroused much interest in official
circles. Many foreign diplomats
made formal inquiry at the State Department
and were promised a memorandum
on the subject. In some quar
tors it was said steps probably would
be taken by other leading nations of
the hemisphere as well as European
neutrals, in support of the American
viewpoint.
The President's comment on the situation
convinced callers that the
jjjjBu \^ashim:.lon government has spoken
firmly of its desire for improvement
in the conditions of neutral commerce
and was prepared to further insist on
its rights. The President declared
that the point of view adopted by the
United States in its note was hardly
debatable as England had adhered to
it in previous wars.
During the cabinet meeting it was
suggested that shippers should be
warned against shipment of double
articles in non-contraband cargoes.
The White House then issued its
suggestion regarding manifests. The
President said the great embarrassment
to the government in dealing
with the whole matter was that some
shippers had concealed contraband un
der a cargo of cotton or other non
contraband. So long as there were
instances of that kind, the President
added, suspicion was cast on every
shipment.
State Department officials said lator
that there were two cases in
which this had occurred and that
Great Britain had used them as a basis
for general search.

LARGEST COTTON CROP ON RECORD.
The Department of Agriculture estimates
the 1014 cotton crop at 1 o,909.000
bales. This is the largest pro!
auction in the history of the cotton in
ilustry. The 191 i crop held the record!
to the present year, with a production
of 1 ">,(190,701 bales. It is estimated
that there is at least two million bales
in the field, much of it deserted by (lis
couraged farmers and which will prob
ably never be gathered.
The 1914 crop also ranks among the
largest, production per area, averaging
208 pounds per acre and reaches
the low water mark in price. The
price officially estimated for the 1914
crop is G cents per pound against an
average price of 12 cents per pound
in 1913 and a production of 128 pound
per acre.

VAST RICHES YET
TO BE DEVELOPED
Large Resources of United
States Emphasized by the
War.
ALASKA TREASURE STORE
Immense Tracts of Desert and
Swamp Line Yet Unused.
Washington, Jan 4?With the great
nations of Europe wasting their
wealth and their resurces with freehanded
disregard and this country being
forced to depend more and more
upon its own capital, agricultural and
mineral resources, the question of our
undeveloped stores take on an interest
such as it never before has had.
| In this connection the National Geographic
Society has prepared a statement
which says:
''In addition to the wonderful agricultural
and mineral development
which already has taken place in the
united Mates, and which makes this
country outrank any other in the world
?n the value of her crops and the product
of her mines, we have vast undeveloped
resources. We have more
coal, more petroleum, more*phosphate
and more copper than any other
country. Our coal reserves reach such
an ovt rwhclming total as to make the |
combined coal reserves of the next six
;r atest producing nations?all of
whom are at war?dwindle into insignificance.
Zinc, lead silver, timber,
salt, iron ore and other staples of
commerce are hero in undeveloped
. bundancc. Alaska is the greatest of
otir unexploited treasure troves.
The Wealth of Alaska.
"The largest body of unused and nog
lcctcd land in the United States is
Alaska. It is now nearly a century
since we purchased Lkis territory, and
it contains today less than 40,000
white inhabitants, less than 1,000 for
each year it has been in our possession.
The purchase was made as a
means of protection against possible
aggression 01 a lorcign nation and
without hope that it would bo even
self supporting-. In the intervening* 40
years we have given it little more i
than the most casual concern; yet its
mines,-fisheries and fur alone have ad
ded to our wealth the grand sum of
$500,000,000. Individual fortunes
have been made in that country larger
than the price paid to Russia for
the whole territory.
"Its waters are teeming rich with
sVinn and fish. How rich we know,
because they have been proved. But
how rich its lands are in gold and!
copper, coal and oil, iron and zinc, no1
one knows. The prospector has gone!
far enough, however, to tell us that
no other section of our land today |
makes so rich a mineral promise. And
in agriculture the government itself
has demonstrated that Alaska will pro
duco in abundance all that can be
raised in the Scandinavian countries,
(Sitka has cooler . ummers and warmer
winters than Washington, D. C.)
the hardy cereals and vegetables, the
meats and the berries off which nine
million people live in Norway, Sweden'
and Finland. It has been estimated
that there are 50,000,000 acres of this
land thai will nv - ?
uuiiK o iui u peo|
j)!o as sturdy as those of New If.<gland.
Alaska can be made sclf-su taining
ag ricultura 11 y.
''It is a territory one-fifth the size
of the United States containing less
than 1,000 miles of anything that can
he called a wagon road. It has a few
inconsiderable stretches of railroad
which terminate either in the wilderi
ncss or at a private industry.
Vast Acres Idle.
"Alaska does not by ar.y means com
prise all of our undeveloped resources.
Vast stretches of the Great American
Desert still remain to be reclaimed
j for fruit, grain, vegetables and graz,
ing land. Millions of acres of coal
lands are in store ready to be open'
ed as the need for their riches arises.
Southwestern oil fields arc storing
^ vast quantities of petroleum for fut
tnre use. Innumerable water powers
throughout the Middle West and West
are waiting to be harnesses. Our vast
' deposits of phosphate rock, embracing
millions of acres and containing
* billions of tons of phosphate, undoubt1
edly form the world's greatest sup'
ply. These deposits run for hundreds
^ of miles through Wyoming, Utah,
^ Montana and Idaho. In 1010 the
1 United States produced 52 per cent
of the world's - -j
... ? {/iiua^liakC output.
"A discovery of a deposit of potash
within the United States was
^ made some time ago, though little has
j been (Ionic in the way of its development.
The Department of the Interr
" ior has expressed the hope that this
supply would for some time at least
make the farmers of this country independent
of foreign sources. It lies,
however, still undeveloped. Germany
up to now, has had a world monopoly
of potash."
MORE PRISONERS PARDONED.
Governor Blease grants Clemency to
Fifty Five Prisoners in the State
Penitentiary and on State
Farms.
Governor Blease last Wednesday
granted clemency to 55 state prisoners.
Twenty-eight were serving terms
for homicide, seventeen having sentenced
originally to life imprisonment
Sixteen full pardons 24 paroles and 15
commutations are included in the list.
The release of the forty men pardoned
or paroled reduces the number
of prisoners in the State penitentiary
at state farms and in the county convict
camp t(? 149. Governor Blease
now lias exercised clemency in 1,544
cases during his term of office, which
will have been four years in January.
Two hundred and eight prisoners had
received clemency since Thanksgiving
eve. The Governor acted unon 101
cases at that .time and on eight others
Christmas eve. Clemency was exercised
in 444 cases Monday.
One murderer was pardoned last
week and seven paroled. Nine others
serving life terms received commutatations,
making their sentence either
five or ten years. Of eleven men convicted
of manslaughter, one was pardoned,
six were paroled and four received
rommutationss.
Governor Blease signed the clemcnce
grants so that the prisoners released
might reach their homes by
Now Year's day.
Of interest were the full pardons
granted Robert Wilson, Horace Finch
and W. R. Belcher, sentenced last
November to three years each for the
attack on the Spartanburg jail, in
which a negro suspected of criminal
assault was confined, 'flic negro subsequently
was acquitted.
Peace Impossible Till World is Organized.
'
The way of universal peace, according
to Hamilton Holt, editor and peace
advocate, who was the principal speak
or at a dinner of the Intercollegiate
Socialist society last night, is impossible
until the world is politically organized.
Mr. Holt advocated an immemdiate
world campaign with a view of drawing
up a code of international rules.
He proposed that the United States
and England be the first to band together
in the organization and form
a league of peace, having disarmament
as its purpose.
