Protest Made Vk ith The British

AMERICAN SHIl'PEKS AI.EE<iE I NVM ESS\R\ m.I.AVS OVER SOME OTHER \ \TIO\S WASHINGTON, Jan. 23—(UP)— United Statefl' official protests at British activities on the high seas took a stronger, even an angry pitch, today. The British government was ncffused <if tlisciirmnaiing against American ships. This government protested thav American ships were being detained by British contraband control officials at Gibraltar three times as long as Italiain ships carrying similar cargoes and that, in some cases, Amnrican ships were being forced, contrary to the American neutrality law, to proceed to belligerent polls. Tt demanded "immediate correction" of the situation and requested a reply from Great Britain to that ef- j feet. The protest was reminiscent of the controversies of 1915 and 1916 over similar British activities before th.United States entered the World Wm Until recent weeks most of this government's diplomatic notes have been directed to the totalitarian powers now at war with Britain an I Prance. During the past month, American official impatience has been increasng over what is considered high-handed British interference with American shi[>e, cargoes and mail on the high seas The new protmt was handed to British Ambassador Lord Lothian Baturday by Assistant Secretary o f State Adolph A. Berle in the form of an aide memoire- a written memorandum to remind the Ambassador of what he had been told orally l.i

MANY POINTERS ARE GAINED THROUGH ATTEND VNEE \T PI RIM E MEETINGS

Putnam county road men. attending the road school at Purdue University, yesterday heard Allien J. Wedeking. of Dale, former member of the Indiana State Highway Cryumlaalon and now vice president of the Indiana Automobile Taxpayers' League, decry what he said is a threat to take a part of the income from gasoline tax and vehicle license tax to pay a part of the cost of public relief. Asserting the vehicle and gasoline tax totals represent $31 per capita, Wedeking said, “To the extent this money is diverted, just to that extent the motorists aren't getting what they are paying for.” Indiana newspapers were praised by Marc G Waggoner of the State Highway Department for their cooperation In reporting public information on road conditions and other tacts concerning Hooeier roads. Howard Atcheson of Srottsburg, state highway commissioner, reported the commission spent during the last fiscal year >1,765,656 for construction and maintenance of 410 mlli« of elate highway routes through 79 cities, each with a population of more than 3.500. ‘'This,'’ he said, “represents an average maintenance expenditure of approximately $1 ooo a mile, or nearly

Greencastle."

Very rare are the Fragrant Sumac j and the English Locust (or BeanTrefoil tree, or Golden Chain) found at Cammack's. The collection pre“nts leaves of the quince, and Lawlence Crump, father of Miss Evelyn, rails attention to the scarcity of] this tree, once a common growth in] our yards. These leaved were found I at I-ee Well’s, south Indiana street. At Forest Hill cemetery there is aj European Mountain Ash. not at all j common. There is also one in North- ! wood. The only known specimen • of the Yellow Dogwood in Putnam j county is at the Hazlett plaee, south ■ of Russellville. The Hazlett home also contributed leaves from two other trees uncommon here—the Rhoden- j *' dron and the Mountain Laurel. The Cammack arboretum contributed leaves from the very rare Fou“-

Winged Silver Bell.

At the former John Crawley place several miles south of Greencastle grow two of the rare Paulownia, and there is one specimen in Cloverdale— none elsewhere around here, Mr. Crump says. It is suggestive of the common Catalpa. At the Russel Shannon home there is a Weeping White Mulberry. At Cammack's is the only specimen in the country of the Spanish Walnut. On the lawn al the Harry Wells’ homo is a Pecn.i Nut, and at the same place is a Weeping White Birch. In the Stoess<*l yard is an American White or Gray Birch. There are other birches growing in the city, quite a varity of

species.

Specimens were found at I-ee Wells’ of Die Quaking Aspen and also the Large Tooth Aspen. There are two specimans of the Bald Cypress in the |
