Dec. 1. —There is one point in Sir John French's dispatch published yesterday upon which the London news papers failed to comment, although it throw* a strong light upon what has' been the subject of heated controversy.! Sir John's references to Genera! Raw linson show plainly that the British at tempt to relieve Antwerp was not eou tined to the landing of the naval bri gade. Evidently a strong British force as sisted in the retreat of the Belgian, army from Antwerp, and General Kan linson. who commanded it, was not un der tie orders of General French, but of Loi>i Kitchener, from whom he re ceived his instruction direct. General j Rawlinson's force was only under Gen : era! French's orders until about Oc tober 15. These facts dispose entirely of the theory that Winston Churchill.. Firs: Lord of the Admiralty, solely was responsible for the measures taken to assist Antwerp. Yesterday was the fortieth birthday of Mr. Churchill, and the newspapers, except a few of those antagonistic to him, paid a tribute to his remarkable career. The seventieth birthday of the . Queen Mother Alexandra is being cele , brated to-day. PENNSYLVANIA MASONS TO HELP BROTHKRS IX EUROPE Philadelphia. Deo.

HARRISBPRG STAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVEN I Nil. DECEMBER 1. 1914. U. S. CONTRABAND ORDER APPROVED BY GERMANS; PARTIALITY IS CLAIMED; !

He also aavs ; that the I'nited States will be able I to demonstrate, by such a practical pal j icy, indubitably that its neutrality is loyal. The statement credited to Ambassa dor Gerard is undoubtedly the view ex pressed bv the I'nited States in its reply to Germany's protest that Eng land and France were violating the declaration of London with regard to what was contraband. The reply stated that the United States withdrew its suggestion, made to the belligerent countries, that the dec laration of London t>e adopted as n temporary code of naval warfare in the use of the present war and this was done because of the unwillingness of some of the belligerents to adopt the declaration of London without mod ification.' The I'nited States government. . therefore, the reply went on to say. would insist that its rights and its du • ties and tnose of its citizens in the present war be defined by the existing rules of international law and the treaties of the I'nitel States with the belligerents. It also said that the Unit ed States government would reserve the right to enter a demand or protest in every case where its rights and duties are violated or their free exercise hin j dered.
