THE WEATHER
Many of us are selfish without knowing
It. It Is true that often we do things for
others when actuated only by a desire to
shine n a philanthropic limelight. And
sometimes It happens that the fa,vor which
Wo bestow on one causes unhapplness to
others. Right in, our midst at the present
time several persons in officialdom have been
temporarily thrown out of employment.
The question has been raised generally In
this neighborhood "Were they sacrificed"
to glvo favorite friends jobs? Let us hope
not. It is very difficult to please nearly two
million persons all at the same time. But
It seems that Just about two years ago therg
was no such revolution going on In our
midst. Perhaps It was due to the fact; that
there was no cause for It.
Yes, It was a very pleasant month of
July, despite the normal heat.

After vain efforts to bring up artillery

completely broken In the Delatln section,
20 miles north of Jablonltza pass.
New battles are developing In Volhynla

their two main objectives Lemberg and
the Hungarian plains. All of tho German
reserves that can be spared from the Rus

A new engagement has opened along the

BRITAIN IGNORED
U. S. IN PLANS FOR
TRADE BLACKLIST
Nation Not Taken Into Con

Submit Calmly
"VIOLATION OF RIGHTS"
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN
WASHINGTON, July 19. The United
States will not calmly submit to a British
boycott nnd blacklisting of American mer
chants. Acting Secretary of State Polk
mado this emphatically plain today In dis
cussing tho new British boycott .find" black
list. Ho also explained that, while Great
Britain had made public Its blacklist of
Individuals and firms who aro not to be
permitted to transact business within Brit
ish dominions, bo far It had failed to take
this Government Into its confidence In an
nouncing the program.
Secretary polk said ho was ready to act
now on the unofficial information In his
hands, but that he would wait a "reason
able time" a couplo of days at the out
side for Great Britain to tell this Gov
ernment what It has done and why,
"Wo will make formal Inquiry," said the
acting secretary, "and If we fiend the facts
as already presented, and the principle
Involved, as It now appears to be, wo will
enter a strong and vigorous protest against
this breach of the rights of tho United
States."
Other officials took a similar view of the
situation. They declared that the British
blacklist as already Indicated In the cables
from London, Is such a flagrant violation
of the rights of Americans and an attack
upon American trade 'rights that. If Great
Britain attempts to defend It, as now
seems certain, thl3 Government will be
compelled to consider retaliatory legislation,
although the latter probably will have to
be put over until the short session starting
In December.

laughing nt Saturday night's raid.
Thcto was nn unusual nllenco In that

came out to exhibit In public their humilia

Those Mho went to tho Tenderloin on
what Is known ns "slumming" trips found
tho place and Its residents very contrite.
Many of these visitors had heard of tho
wholesato raid of Saturday.
They looked knowingly nt each other.
Many expressed tho belief that It wao "all

which Is regarded ns "the" place of tho

snapped tho first girl.
"Oh, forget It," said the other.
DRINKING AND SMOKING.
That seemed to be tho sentiment of others
wha sat around tho tables. They drank and
they talked to their escorts, laughing oc
casionally over tho Incident of Saturday,
A waiter, noticing the strangers, sud
denly cut off their beer supply and said In
loud, conscientious tones, "I cannot serve
beer to yer an' yer'll have to take sherry."
The girls smiled knowingly. "All right,"
they said, "bring the sherry and a couple

He told how he arrested her In the Key

to him that last Friday she purchased the
revolver from a pawnbroker at 11th and

It to her husband the next day. He also
