Redress Open to Shippers for Loss By Blockade Says Senator Stone
Senator Stone of Missouri warned last night that the French British blockade harms American commerce. He supported indemnifying shippers for losses due to detention and passage denial to German and Austro-Hungarian ports, likening the blockade to Napoleonic measures and urging neutral nations to oppose belligerent overreach. Senator Hitchcock urged united neutrals to defend neutrals and push for greater regard for neutral rights in international law.

Help the Stomach Digest Your Food
When the stomach fails to digest and distribute that which is eaten, the bowels become clogged with waste and refuse that ferments and generates poisons that are gradually forced into the blood, causing distress and illness. A mild, gentle laxative that does not gripe or cramp is Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, offered by druggists at fifty cents a bottle. A free trial bottle may be obtained by writing to Dr W B Caldwell, 452 Washington St, Monticello, Texas.
