VOLUME! xxxI. UNITED -STATES8 ROE in Note to Great Britain 4 Blockade "inefective, i Washington, Nov. 7.-The United States in its latest note to Great Britain, made public here today, cov ering exhaustively British interference with American trade since the begin ning of the European war, declares that the socalled blockade instituted by the allies against enemy countries on March I is "ineffective, Illegal and indefensible." Notice is served that the American government "can not submit to the curtailment of its neutral rights," and it can not "with complacence suiller further subordina tion of its rights andl interests." Abassador Page to whoin the note was sent by special messenger for delivery to the London foreign ofice, was instructed by Secretary Lansing "to impress most earnestly" upol the British government that the United States "must insist that the relations betweeni it and I his majesty's govern ment be governed, not by a policy of expediency but by those established rules of international conduct to which Great Britain in the Ipast has held the United, States to account when the latter nation was a belligerent engag ed in a struggle for national exist ence." Declaring the United States "un hesitatingly assumes" the task of championing the integrity of neutral rights, the note proclaims that the American government ,will devote its energies to the task, exercising always an importial altitude. The note, nearly 15,000 words in length, was made public by agreement between the State department and the Iireisi foreign oflce. It carries with it a vol uminiouis appendix, giving the text of tle American naval instrue tions issued in 1862 and a su mmary anid table showing hundreds of v'essels detaiicl 1w nridsh un --' s ince lhe beginning of the lresent war.

"I ireal ize the~ ineflicilhey of the National Guard il time of war," sayvs i'. Nicholis. "This inem1ciency is largely (1u1 to the fact thlat it is hard'( 31n1d take the proper inlter'es in mill tar'y affairs.

"Miy idlea would be to verutire the National Guard in all the~ States to drill at 'least once a week and to pay thern for their uwrvices a r'eamsonale amount, basing this payment uponil the anmount paid to -tihe r'egular' arm~y and1( letting tile ofilcers receive their pra rata shiare just as the privates tio. In addition to" this, tile government should futrnish adegua te accommoda tions for each company, and equip these armor'ies so as to make it pleas ant for the 1110n to take an interest in their work. In other wvords, my idea is to bring the National Guard in close touch with the regular army and to let the continental army vir tually take the place of the Natioiial LAUREN CTS BRITISH POLICY -overing Interference Says legal, and IndefensIble" shown that the methods sought to be employed by Great Britain to obtain and use evidence of enemy destination of cargoes bound for neutral ports and to impose a contraband character upon such cargoes are without justi fication; that the blockade, upon which such methods are partly found ed, is ineffective, illegal and Inde fensible; that the judicial procedure offered as a means of reparation for an international injury is inherently defective for the purpose; and that in many cases jurisdiction is asserted in violation of the law of nations. The United States, therefore, can not slibmit to the curtailment of its neutral rights by these measuires, which are adimittedly retaillatory. and therefore illegal, in conception and in nature, and intended to punxii tlie eneni es of Great Britain for alleged illegalities oil their part.- The United States might not. be in a position to object to t hem if its interests and the interests of all neutrals were un affeced by thei, bit, being affected, it can not with comilacence suffer fiorther silborldinai lon of its right s and interests to the iulea that the excep tional geographic position of the one mlies of (reat Britain require or Jttstify' oppressive and illegal practices. "'The government of the 'nlited States, thberefore, desi res fo impress most earnestly upon his majesty's government that it. 'must insist that the relations between it and his mia jesty's government be governed, not by a policy of expediency. but by those established rules of Interna lonal conduct upon which (reat Brit in in the past. has held tbe United States to account when the latter na lion was a belligerent, engaged in a itruiggle for national existence.

As it now stands, I believe that the two months' plan for the continen tal army is a good Idea, but it would b~e unjust for a man to have to gIve this time to the service unless lie was' paid for hiIs time, for a great many men wvho have the interest of the ser vice at heart andl who would make siplendid soldiers, can not afford to lose time withlout pay.

This is a flue eelcry weather. Con tinue blanching by pulling soil up around the plants every ten days.' 'Planting time is here, and if you have not ordered your fruit trees do so at once. The first orders are filled from the best trees. Prune all varieties of muscadine grapes before the first of December so that they will not be mijred by bleed ing. How Many have a supply of winter apples in the cellar? By a proper so lection of varieties it is possible for every farm home in the South. Few appreciate the value of the Souihern winter sllish, the cushaw. It keeps through wiinter in ordinary storage anld rivals the sweet potato for plies and other table uses. The harvesting pecans. wait lintil practically all the birs have opened and gather lie entire crop at once. T lie nu1t1,s shouldihe driled and ready for market in three weeks. (Grape vineyards plant a year ago will need trellising this fall or winter. Use two wires for bunch grapes and three for museadines, spacing wires two feet apart on the posts. Reniier that fall and carly win ler are the best. fimlles for Its to set fruit trees. Roots will have time to heejme firmly set in the soil before sprinug andI trees will be iore resistant to stmintiler droutis.

At 9 o'clock the surrounding omumunity wasti star'tled by a fusIllade of itistol shots from the vicinity of the mills, accomipanied by the blowIng of distress calls ont the mill whistles and a general bediatm of noises from the throats of seemingly several hundred people. The sheriff and others resptond 0(1 to the call, but as yet little pro gress has been made in arriving at the facts in the situation.
