These international war agree ment* or law*, rt-cognixe* the right of a beligvrant nation to «top a neutral vewael when at sea and ex amine the cargo. If the cargo con tains what is termed contraband good* consigned to an enemy nation, ■uch vessel may I m - seized and tak«-n tn a home port, or If thia i* impracti cable. after taking the crew and passenger* from the vessel, the same may lie destroyed. But if no contra band good* are found in the cargo, the neutral vessel must lie permit ted t<> continue it* voyage unmolest ed. Also, if the vessel, which is s merchantman unarmed of course, •hall belong to an enemy nation, it must not be destroyed until the passenger* ant! crew are remove«! from the ship and the nation de stroying the same brcom«-* rr«(»i>n- •ible for the value of any and all neutral good* destroyed. Germany, in her submarine war fare. ha* ignored these international rules of war. In the case of the Ixisitania. she had a light to atop the ship, search for contraband good* and. to either take the ship to home port or, after removing th«- IMuwimger* and crew, sink the vewwl. But this the German submarine did not do. Without warning, the tor pedo was fir««! am! the big ship sent to the bottom, resulting in great loss of life. Because more than 100 of the lost were American*, the United Slate*, of a right, sent a vigorous proteat to the (German government. If the submarine war vessel had been in existence when the inter national rule* of war at sea were agreed to, no doubt rule* would have h«-«-n adopte«! governing that feature of maralime warfare.

IDLE MONEY DOES NOT GIVE PROSPERITY Report« say that our Iwlancw of trade with foreign countries amount* to a round billion of dollars in our favor. That it to say. we aril * billion of dollars more stuff to tho*e countries than we buy from them. Bank reports from all over the country tell of immense sum* of money lying idle in their vaults. If we consider iioth these fact*, one would think we should be having the moat flourishing time* in our history. But a cloaer examination gives the explanation.

It means that it is not being actively employ««! in trade, industries or improvement*. In the northwest we feel it because of the stagnation in the lumber in dustry and in railroad building.
