"Unsustainable either in point o(
law or upon principles of international
equity" is the British reply to tha
American protest against the blockade
of neutral ports, with an invitation to
Biibmit to international arbitration
any cases in which the United States
is dissatisfied with the action of Brit-
ish prize courts.
Great Britain's reply is embodied in
two notes, one supplemental. With
the notes was made public also the
correspondence over the American
steamer Neches, seized by the British
while en route from Rotterdam to the
United States with goods ol German
origin. All the correspondence aggre-
gates 7,000 words.
Changed conditions of warfare, the
British note contends, require a new
application of the principles of inter-
national law. The advent of the sub-
marine, the airship and the alleged
atrocities by German troops in Bel-
gium are cited as justification for the
exercise of extreme measures. The
blockade is justified on the conten
tion that the universally recognized
fundamental principle of a blockade
is that a belligerent is entitled to cut
off "by effective means the ^sea-borne
commerce of his enemy.'
Policy To Be Continued.
The note reiterates that Great Brit-
gin will continue to apply the orders
complained of although not without
every effort to avoid embarrassment
to neutrals and observes that the
American statistics show that any loss
in trade with Germany and Austria
has been more than overbalanced by
the increase of other industrial activ-
ities due to the war.
In the general reply to the American
representations against the orde™
council Sir i'.dward lirey, the foreign
minister, addressing Ambassador 1age,
besins by expressing the hope that lie
mav be able to convince the adminis-
tration in Washington "that the measuies
we have announced are not only reason-
_uip and necessary in themselves but
Constitute no more than an adaptation
of the old principles f ^ockade to the
peculiar circumstances witn which we
ire confronted."

An afternoon gown of messaline silk,
pictured here, is one of many that the
amateur seamstress may undertake
with assurance that success is easy.
The summer afternoon dress is about
the most satisfying of all the clothes
wherewithal we are clothed and any
number of them have been designed
(of the lovely fabrics made for wear
in the good old summer time) that are
easy to make.
In the dress pictured the skirt is
straight and short and full. It has a
high waist line with a smocked or
shirred panel at the front and single
box plaits disposing of tho fullness at
the sides and back. Two knife-plaited
' ruffles extend about the skirt near
the bottom and at the hip line, but
they terminate at the front panel on
each side.
A loose, plain blouse of chiffon in
the same color as the dress with
Dutch neck has a narrow knife plait-
ing of the messaline festooned across
the front. A short jacket of the mes-
saline is decorated with small buttons
and these and the odd sleeves with
turnback cuffs, are forceful little Items
in the very good style of this gown.
The sleeves are full and confined near
the shoulder with a band of narrow \
knife plaiting.
A frill of lace about the neck and a ,
long tie of narrow ribbon with border j
of white complete the dress. I
Summer afternoon gowns of voile, |
or crepe, and tine lingerie gowns are
very smart, worn with bright colored ,
coatees of taffeta or crope or a nies- |
saline silk lined with thin satin. The 1
surplice waist appears in many varia- j
tions in afternoon gowns. A com- j
bination of the eton jacket and sur-
plice waist effect is novel; the sur- i
plice ending in sash ends at the back.
A blouse and girdle cut in one is one
of the happiest suggestions for the
' afternoon gown. To pick out the un-
usual and at the same time the simple
effects for afternoon dresses Is to be
sure of success in style.
The three-tiered skirt in which the
flounces are set together is another
good idea for the afternoon dress. It
is worn with a soft chiffon blouse and
made high waisted or given that ef-
fect by a very wide girdle. Made of
one of the thin materials and worn
with a coatee of taffeta this is a cos-
| tume both economical and smart.
Some Fads of the Late Summer
The manufacture of the humble
clothespin is a considerable industry
in the mountains of Pennsylvania,
where hardwood is still being cut in
large quantities. In the hardwood
mills in central Pennsylvania the
clothespin form a valuable by-product,
the waste from maple and ash lumber
being used to manufacture the little
Implement of domesticity. Largo
quantities of American clothespins
have been shipped yearly to Germany,
Austria and other foreign countries.
Manufacturers state that, due to the
war, the greater portion of their for-
eign trade has been discontinued. The
trade slump has been felt in the Penn-
sylvania mountains, where the clothes-
pin makers are not working as steadily
as usual.
Native Pennsylvanians are employed
exclusively in the clothespin industry,
and they earn fairly good wages, most
of the operatives working by the
piece.
It takes a aozen or more rapid oper-
ations to turn a piece of hardwood into
a clothespin, which 1s ready to be
shipped from the mountains to the
New York broker, who distributes tho
smooth slit pin throughout the world
Strips from boards are conveyed from
the hardwood mill to the pin mill,
where the strips are cut into small
cubes. The cubes are soaked or
steamed in the upper room of the mill
and then thrown into chutes leading to
the turning machines. Girls run the
turning machines, which eat up thou-
sands of the little blocks hourly.
The girls must be nimble of linger,
for it is necessary to keep the feeding
' canal tight with blocks in order to
| prevent the pieces of wood from flying
| about. The machinery in a clothespin
I mill vibrates tremendously, the noise
in the mill being deafening.
j From the turning machines the lit-
I tie blocks go to the slotting machines,
i which are also run by girls, although,
! occasionally, boys art put on them
when girls are not to be had. These
machines are as noisy, but not as dus-
ty, as the turning machines. So dust
absorbers are 'ound in the clothespin
mills and the gears of the machines
are not protected. As the blocks are
wet when they are put through the
machines the saw dust does not fly, the
dust in the mills arising from accumu-
lated sawdust which has dried out.
From the slotting machines the pins
go into driers. When they are thor-
oughly dried the little sticks are con-
veyed to polishing drums and rapidly
revolved in soapstone, which gives
them their marketable smoothness.
From the polishing drums they are
I taken to a washer, where the soap-
! stone is cleaned off. and they go again
to a drier. From the drier they are
! conveyed to the packing room, where
i girls with quick lingers, pieceworkers,
pack them in boxes of 500, the girls
receiving cue cent a box for their
work, tile packers averaging 160 boxes

In some mills, the culls, sorted out
by the packers, are saved and mar-
keted in the United States. The
clothespin market varies, the factory
getting anywhere from 45 to 75 cents
a box for its product. One factory
ships three carloads of clothespins
weekly to the New York brokers.
The machinery used was Invented
by a Pennsylvanian, who revolution-
ized the clothespin industry, and de-
veloped into the "Clothespin King.
He started the first rapid-fire clothes-
pin mills in the vicinity of Kane, Pa.,
putting to profitable use much wood
which otherwise would have been
burned as waste.

But Smokers Will Wonder How That

M. Maeterlinck is among those who
have freed themselves from the band-
age of tobacco by means of a curious
artifice. According to his biographer,
M. Gerard Harry, "without the help
of tobacco he seemed incapable of re-
ceiving inspiration or crystallizing It
in words. If he has not overcome the
need, lie has outflanked it. Smokfng.
he noticed, had lost its virtue as a
stimulant, and instead of rousing tho
brain to activity, as at first, had come
to disturb Its functions; so now, In
lieu of ordinary tobacco, he fills his
bowl with a denlcotinized preparation,
tasteless indeed, but harmless. His
pipe is still always alight when the
pen is busy, but it is hardly more now
than a mere subterfuge intended to
cheat and so satisfy an irresistible
mechanical craving."—London Chron-

that is from its mouth to the lake. Of
course it may be that long again, but
owing to the lake it is impossible to
get the exact length without a boat.

in line with the fad for black and
white a wide girdle is made of ribbon
showing alternate stripes of white
satin and black velvet. It is fastened
at the front under a shallow loop of
the ribbon, ornamented by a row of cov-
ered velvet buttons. Such a belt looks
well with black and white striped
skirts or all white. Or it may be
worn with frocks in gay colors where
it serves to tone down the brilliant
but fashionable shades.
A short neck ruff is made of black
satin ribbon having a narrow white
border striped with black. It is sewed
to a band of narrower black satin rib-
bon in full triple box plaits. The edges
of the plaits are caught together to
form the ruche. A how and ends of
plain black satin ribbon finish the
neckpiece which fastens with snap
fasteners at the front.
