During that time Governor Tener, who retires from office January 19, has been a citi zen, a neighbor and one who has en tered into matters concerning municipal welfare of Harrisburg. Joining in honoring the retiring Gov ernor were state, county and city of ficials, professional, political and mer cantile leaders, manufacturers, railroad men, newspapermen and men represent ing almost every branch of life in the municipality, it was a most delight tid occasion, and the auest of honor was overwhelmed at the evidence of good will from the people with whom he lias dwelt for the last four years. In the large dining room the dec orator nia le his most artistic endeavor, the big interior being a mass of Amer ican Beauty roses, \labama smiiax. : -aiiiis and American flags, all of which lent themselves admirably to the de-- ornC.t scheme.

The committee had pro vided a song sheet and at the very out set the "Tipperary" song was chant ed with a fervor that was inspiriting, only the "Tiperary" words were •■hanged so that the chorus was sang as follows: "Here is to you. Johnnie Tener— And it's to you we sing. Head and shoulders you stand above us Aud you're every inch a King; You must come back. Johnnie Tener, We unite in that refrain. There s a warm, warm hope in every heart here' You'll be Governor again." During the evening, when the speech making began, a line picture of Gov-1 ernor Tener, which hung on the wail in ' full view of all the diners, was un veiled amidst the hearty cheers of the hundred who were there to do honor to the retiring official.

The Governor Responds Governor Tener responded feelingly, dwelling on the kindnesa and courtesv that had been shown him during his offi cial residence here, and testifying to his appreciation of this evidence of kindness and esteem.

S. Officials Not Al together Satisfied With Answer to American Protest NOTE COUCHED IN FRIENDLY TONE But Long Diplomatic Correspondence Conceding Principles of American Case Will Not Meet Complaints of Exports and Shippers H}i Associated Prrss t Washington, Jan. 11. —The United States government, it became known to day, is not altogether satisfied with the note of Sir Edward Grey giving Great Britain's preliminary reply to Presi dent Wilson's protest concerning the treatment of American commerce by the French fleet. While gratified that «ieiat Britain admits the justice of practically all the principles of international law chef in tile American note, officials reiterated to day that the chief difficulty had been England's neglect to make her actual practice square witlu the pre viously accepted rules of international law. It is realized by officials here that a long diplomatic correspondence con ceding the principles of the American case l>"t not actually carrying them into practice will not meet the complaints of American exporters and shippers and although England's, supplementary an swer is expecteu to give a more detail ed s:atcmenl of her position, officials plan to take up vigorously all individ ual cases which may meanwhile arise. Friendly Ton e of British Note Officials ate keenly appreciative of the friendly tone of the British note and of the promises it makes for re dress in case of unwarranted injury to American commerce. They point out, however, that the note in its citation of statistics had not taken up one of the J chief points of the American argu i men t. The Hi itisii statistics wore brought | forward !o argue that American com merce with neutral countries had not suftered as seriously as had been repre sentei, but administration officials here 1 contend that one of the chief purposes ! of the American protest was to prevent I depletion ot American commerce bv continuation of British practices. The American note, they said, was framed | with the very idea of forestalling de ; striiction of American trade. Figures Cited Misleading Figures cited in the British note, in the view of officials here, are mislead : injr because much of the non-contraband j goods which ordinarily go direct to Ger ! many and Austria lias really been j shipped to neutral countries because of | the scarcity of ships that would dare j risk passage through mine tiekls of Ger j man ports. Similarly, the desire of Germany all < 1 I Austria to us all surplus production has | deprived contiguous countries of many | raw materials, which they now are colli pellcd to import from the United States. Such increases in total exports from the United States, officials here say, would conceal the real injury to | some American industries because of their apparent growth in trade with j individual countries. • Detaining of Many American Ships England's statement that out of 773 | ships which proceeded from the United I States to neutral countries in Europe | since the outbreak of the war. only 45 j had had cargoes placed in the prize j courts, while only 8 of the ships them j selves had gotten into the courts was | regarded by officials and diplomats here j as proving that the bulk of American ' i ommerce was of legitimate character j and had yielded only 45 doubtful cases, i There is no mention made in the British j note, on the other hand, of the large I number of American ships which were | detained, some of them for two weeks. : tor extended examination. In the next communication which the I United States will send to England as I a rejoinder the British view that ship? must be taken into ports for examina j tion instead of being searched 011 the I high seas is expected to be vigorously ] disputed. There is some doubt, not in ! frequently expressed here among offl -1 cials, of whether the practice of the British fleet practically blockading the I high seas instead of Herman ports them ! selves is not contrary to the funda ! mental principles of the law. Inspection of Cargoes i It is not unlikely that when the American reply is finally seut, the State Department will give out statistics showing when anil where American ] ships have been detained. It is admit ted at thp State Department that the action of some American exporters and ship masters has place'.! the British in 1 possession of a strong argument in fa ! vor of its present position. But with I the recent arrangements for having out | going cargoes loaded under the inspec tion of treasury officials and with the 1 system of licenses which the British note states has been arranged to insare rubber and perhaps wool exported from ! America from reaching Germany and Austria, officials are inclined to be lieve that the way soon will be open for a complete satisfactory understand ing between the two governments in regard to the treatment of neutral ship ping, and they are encourage'l in that belief by the frank and responsive tone 1 of the British note. Great Britain's Reply Washington, .lan. 11.—Great Bri tain's reply to President Wilson's pro tect against interference with Ameri -1 can shipping was given out by the iState Department last night. The main contentions of Kngland are as fo'lows: '"The British Government concur in 1 the prin<\ }le enunciated by the United . States that a belligerent should not in terfere in trade between neutrals un | less necessary to protect the belliger- I eni's safety." i "Much misconception exists as to j the extent to which we have interfered with trade. The adverse effect upon certain industries is due to diminished j purchasing |*>wer of France, Germany land the United Kingdom." The heavy increase in copper ship ments to neutral European countries 13 The Easiest Way To End Dandruff I There is one sure way that never fails to remove dnmlrutY completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or fout more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it, no matter ho# much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the sculp will stop in stantly, and your hair will be Huffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get. liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. —Adv. pointed out. and "the presumption is very strong that the bulk of copper has been intended for the use of a bellig erent who cannot import it direct." It is admitted "that foodstuffs shouM not be detained without pre sumption that they are intended for the enemy, though we cannot give an uncon ditional undertaking in view of the de parture of those against whom we are fighting from hitherto accepted rules of civilization." From August -I to January 3 there were 773 ships sailing from the United •States to European ports. Cargoes of forty-five were brought before the Prize Court, but only eight ships themselves have been trated likewise, and one of these lias been released. Rubber and Cotton Shipments '"lt is essential that w'bere there is ground for suspecting the presence of contraband, vessels should be brought into port for examination." It is declared that rubber has been Shipped under another designation t.o escape notice and that "we have beeu warned that copper will be concealed in bales of cotton." "We are confronted with the grow ing danger that neutral countries con tiguous to the enemy will become, on a scale ihitherto unprecedented, a base of supplies for the armed soldiers of our enemies." The change in policy by the United States in prohibiting publication of manifests till thirty days after depar ture of vessels "has made it necessary to examine and detain more ships than would have beeu the case if the former practice had continued." "His '.Majesty's government won id gladly enter into an arrangement by which mistakes can be avoided and j reparation secured promptly." England's Debt of Gratitude London. Jan. 11, 11'.57 P. M.—The i London afternoon papers commenting i on the reply of Foreign Secretary Grey to the American note concerning un warranted interference with America s shipping, are unanimous in calling at tention to Great Britain's debt of grat titude to the United States and her re sire to repay it iby interfering with American trade as little as is necessary I to secure the safety of this country and | >her allies. Tiiie papers take the ground that the I Foreign Secretary's facts and figures, unless they can 'be explained or re butted. prove that enormous supplies I necessary to the prosecution of the I war have reached the enemy under cov- I er of neutral trade. The "Westminster | Gazette '' says: "A belligerent is guarding his ov\n j iuterests. No obligation rests upon a i neutral to help a belligerent or to pre i vent the embarkation of contraband. 1 We do not wish to throw the slightest ! responsibility on the United States but ; in dealing with a friendly neutral we : can in a variety of ways consult his 1 convenience and the people of the I'uii ; ed States may be assured that we wid I do Whatever possible to mitigate the state of war to tlicm. ( loser co opera- I riou between t»he two governments will i have good results.'' What Every Briton Will Approve ! The "Pall Mail Gazette" says: ■'Foreign Secretary Grey's reply was I just what every Briton will approve : who warmly desires the friendship of j iho United States, but who also is de j torinined that no legitimate weapon shall be sheatned which can 'be used ; to bring the war to a speedy anil sue j cessful conclusion." The "Globe" expresses the opinion j rhat Sir Edward Grey's "frank and I friendly reply goes- in some directions ! even further toward meeting the wishes j of file United States than some of us | think. ' The "Globe" suggests that I the principal trouble over the question of contraband has arisen through the change in the American practice and j the present prohibition of t'he publ>ca j tion of manifests until thirty •' ( after the vessels have left Amen an | ports. In this connection the paper | says: "If the consequent detention is In convenient anil injurious to American trade tlhe \ merit an government has t.ia | remedy in its own hands." American Shippers Discuss Beply London, Jan. 11, 2.12 P. M. The opinion prevails among American ship | ping agents in London that Washing ton will answer the British preliminary reply to the American shipping note, because of what they term its cxparte nature. While Great Britain ma le it : clearer that no reply was expected tin- I til she had given her own final answer which probably will be within a fort night. American shippers believe there arc certain phases of the preliminary i note which require explanation. "The failure of the British reply to j explain that copper and other Ameri can exports to neutral countries prob ably were forwarded in large quanti ties to Kussia is looked upon as an im portant omission. Another point dwelt upon bv shipping agents is the fart ■ that Great Britain has not taken into the account the cutting off of the Gcr | man exports to neutral countries, whi.'h of necessity must buy from the United ; States goods which cannot b P had from , Germany or England. Considerable comment has been aroused by the fact that both the Amer ican note an I the British response touched upon the chief grievance of I shippers—the great delay in determin i ing whether cargoes detained are con traband. Agents of American Arms whioh have suffered from this condition | feel that the actual statements of the i annoyances and delays which shippers have endured would hasten an aldju't : ment of differences more effectively than general statements without de tails of specific cases.
