LONDON. March 28. William A. S.
Hewlns and I'arlyoti Uellalrs, Unionist
members of the House of Commons raised
tho iiucstlon of tho effectiveness of the
British blockade and tho difficulties of
enforcing It during a debate in tho House.
Mr. Uellalrs said the dllllcultles had been
largely removed when the United States,
"tho most powciful and most critical neu
tral," came In on the i-lilo of the I'ntente
Allies.
Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of Hlockade,
in reviewing tho steps that had been adopted
in connection with the blockade, empha
sized the atuo of rationing by tin agree
ment with some organization In a neutral
country as more smooth and eftectlc than
compulsory rationing. He said the system
of letters of assurance that had been nr
ranged with tho United States had beet
enormously Important In smoothing over dif
ficulties with that country, enabling the
Government to know exactly what wan
going on concerning exports from tho United
States to neutrals and permitting the United
States without unfairness or lnjustlco to
regulate supplies to these neutrals. Tho
measures adopted had succeeded completely
In stopping overseas Importations into enemy
countries.
Tho question of the home product of bor
der neutrals was a most difficult one. He
said he had arrived at tho conclusion that
the only way to deal with this matter was
by securing agreements with neutrals to
stop or diminish such trade
Tho Blockade Minister went nt great
length Into the dimcultles surrounding any
attempt to compel neutral countries to sever
all trade relations with Germany. The
technical and military position of those
countries had to be consldeied.
Lord Robert said that miracles could be
achieved with the blockade, but ho believed
there was a very great shortage of food In
Germany and a considerable shortage of
other things.
"I cannot 'disregard or disbelieve repeat
ed well authenticated statements of food
riots," said the blockade Minister, "as in
dicating profound discontent on the part
of the German population with tho prevail
ing conditions. I believe the war will only
be won on the battlefield, but when we
come to tho final battlo the effect of tho
blockade will count greatly."
Sir Edward Carson, First Lord of the
Admiralty, characterized as absurd the de
mand that the blockade should be left to
the navy, as suggested in tho Lords by Ad
miral Lord Charles Bercsford. Tho Cabi
net had laid down tho policy and the
Foreign Office by negotiations and the navy
by action had to carry out that policy. Sir
Kdward added that the seizure of every
neutral ship and its cargo would mean
that Great Britain would go to war with
everybody.

They show eight styles of bodies, includ

it Is alleged, has been fleecing street lailway

by fare robbery, will be arialgned befmo
Judgo Shlnn In the Criminal Court at Mays
Landing today. Brinsfleld waiod extia

Tho Delaware man will bo charged with
conspiracy by A. J rurlhton, g "ral man
ager of tho Atlantic City and "horn Hall
way, and two other men, under bail as
members of tho gang, may be permitted to
turn Stato's evidence if he fights the charge
One of these Is TV. J. AVInsor, of Chester,
who posed here as a brother of Brinsfleld,
under the name of JLnddocks. A desiro to
see his aged mother Is said to ha,vc brought
a search for Brinsfleld thrcigh half a dozen
States to Its termination. Detectives were
waiting when he reached home.
The Atlantic City and Shore Line Is one
of the first street railways In the country
systematically to prosecuto thieving con
ductors. An employe sent to prison for six
months for "knocking down" fares was the
first conductor convicted in New Jersey for
that offense.

31 Extra Features
Gears are tested for 50,000 pounds per
tooth. Engines get 10,000-mile tests to
prove that parts do not wear.
The result is a lifetime car.
All Extras Free
All these extras hundreds of them
come free in Mitchell cars. They are paid
for by factory savings. Yet, on this year's
output, they will cost us $4,000,000.
They are here because John W. Bate, the
great efficiency expert, has cut our factory
cost in two. He has built and equipped this
model plant for building this single type.
And nowhere else could a car like this bo
built at our factory cost
You'll Want Them
Come see what Mitchell offers more than
other cars. See the extra features, the added
luxury, the over-strength. After that, cars
without them will seem incomplete.
And see the Bate cantilever springs, which
ride like an aeroplane. In two years not a
single one has broken.
See both sizes. One is $1150, one $1460,
I. p. b. factory. No 'other fine cars' on the
market show such amazing values.
