Taking the west ern roadH n n whole, the argument holds they have, not hew liming rev enue.

LOSS UP TO PRIZE COURT (Continued from l'ngo 1.) military intereHtH, On tho enntrur.v, article Kl of the I'niNkiiiii-Aincricau trenty of duly II, 171I0, expressly reserves to the party ill war the right to Htop thn rn rryiitg of contraband nnd to detain the eoutrahnnd. It fol lows, then, that if it cannot be ac complished in nny other way, the Htoppiug of the Hiipplv mnv in the extreme diihh be effected hv the de struction of tho contraband and of the hhip carrying it. Ah ii matter of course, the obligation of the party at war to pay compensation to the pnrtii'H interested of the neutral con tracting patty reumiiiH in foiee, whatever be the manner of stopping tho supply. Subject lit I'iIac Court "According to general principles of international law, any exercise of" the light of control over trade in contra band in subject to the decision of the prize courts, even though such light mnv be restricted by special treaties. "At the beginning of the present var Germany, pursuant to these principles established by urirc court laws, has cases of the kind under consideration. The tmsti of the Wil liam !'. Krye is likewise subject to the provisions of the I'nissian Americnn treaties, which contain no stipulation as to how the amount of the compensation provided by article III of the treaties cited is to be fixed. "The Gorman government therefore- eomplioH with it treaty obli gations to n full extent when the pruo courts instituted hv it in ac cordance with intonintionnl law pro ceed in pursuance to the treatv slip, illation and thus award the Ameri cans interested an equitable indem nity. Thorn would therefore he no foundation for n claim of the Ameri can government unless the piiso court should not grant indemnity in nceoi dance with the treat ; in such incut, however, the German govciu ineut would not hesitate to iirrtinue for ciiiilable indemnity, notwith standing.

( Cnnllnuod from pugo one) SUM old (Jlasgow's population stared when tho women In neat liluo uniforms began to ring Up the faros, but tho tcRtlmony Is unanimous that the new hnndo did their work effi ciently and courteously. Varloun Diurnal Jemmies predicted that at night drunken inon or rowdlcm would malto troublo for or got gay with tho Hkirted conductors, hut It appeared that they did not do cither. A fnnioiiH London department More put owmon to work to drive Itn dellv ory wngonH, opernto Km elevators and pack Ita goods, until nearly 1000 had taken men's places. The manage ment hnd so mo misgivings alioiit tho delivery wagons. To know London, Its districts and Its Insane labyrinth of streets, Is a special hranrji of hu man attnlnment. Nevertheless It was recorded that tho women drivers "seemed to loarn more rapidly than men" nnd nfter n few days tho men guides woro withdrawn from tho wag ons. Tho only difficulty that occurred had n comic opera flavor. In tho gar age the men, for a time, refused to work with tho women, lmpilry showed thnt this was not a recrud escence of mediaeval prejudice, as you might think, hut something very different. One gentleman explained It. ,,,'lWliy, Rcojiore, you know," says he, "I'm a mnrrleil man nnd I ain't looking for troublo nt home, you know!" w . Women Not So Tlnil at llml of liny In tho sorting nnd packing depart ment of this establishment nearly nil tho men's plnces woro filled with women and the mnnnger observed to his astonishment that tho women did not seem to lm ns tired at tho end of tho day ns the men hnd been. Tho government Itself set nn exam ple. About 200 women took the places of men In the war department, forty displaced men In tho census of fice, nnd about fifty In tho hoard of trade. "Notwithstanding tho num bers who linvti already enlisted," read 0110 nppeal, "there are hundreds If not thousands of men of recrultnblo ago (In the government offices) whose .work ia largely of a routine character, nnd 'whom plneos could well he filled by eduontud women of tho middle class." This met with Iniiut'dlato response and 320 women stopped Into addi tional iijnros that hnd always been filled by men. ' Mnny women, having mine knowl- oiIko of nulomnhlles, wanted to oper nto tnxlcnhs. The slow old home of fice, the dullest corner of the govern ment, dtclliiHil to Issue licenses Wo men never hail run tatcnhs; there fore they never should. At the same time, however, women were oKirat Ing motor vans nnd without apparent difficulty. About 1000 women offeretl them selves to work on farms, and In tho north particularly hundreds of them worn cugnKod In the spring planting. The hoard of agriculture Instituted special farm training for women. TWk (her d'oxcrmucnt .lulls .Im Perhaps the government never thought of the fact that If wonun drove men out of iiiuploxuent thoro would he a lurKor chance of enlist ments nml perhnps it did Hut there Is no doubt this point did not escape the attention of many employers. Those thnt were Interested In helping on enlistments took ndvnningo of It. and so did others t hut hnd an eye singly to tohlr oxpouto accounts. Wo men worked for smaller wngas; If they took men's places, so much to the Mood, luminous was business. Hut the hopeful slan is tit lit so mnny of the women perceive tho complex situation thw) are creating and proxo thnt they are. no children about es sential economic principles. For Instance, u few dah aao there was called tu London h treat confer ence of tliHse and other women to consider tht wholu wnr smien for women scheme. The talk was of the plainest. One woman said flntl) that fur womeu to go to work in the way the government proposed, that Is to mv, uurnndlllanally and on patriotic grounds was not good souse, nor. la the loug run. aooil patriotism. "To work without cohiIIIIoiuj." said , this clear-winded wouisu. "would not help the country, but ouly the great profit-making Interests, which are al ready shamelessly exploiting the need of the nation," and undeniable (net that men pukrt alw,t skate, around. j The conference adopted resolutions making iheae peints: j W'unicii Winko' lietiiiiitiloii of, ludenleiii'o I All women brought Into Industn , uiMMr law gr aervtg should Join la ter nnlona; No WRiaa ahauld wrk for less than a g4tthh UtIm '; Where a nowan do. ihe tame THF AVERAGE" UIFF OF fH AUTO ON THE FIRING- LINE IS 30 DvS Tho awful ilestruitlnn of wnr hn Just been emphnsUed b tho report of an Investlgntlou by 'he Urltlsh wnr office which revonls thnt Tho avorago llfo of an offlror on tho firing lino Is twevonty-thrcu dnys. - m ill ' ,t zrr- --.-r ' The kvcrnge life of a horse on tho firing line Is ten dn8.

Is tho tost worth while? work ns n man she should rccolvo tho same wmhoa; If tho government wants women to work It should giro thorn suitable training and & a week while being trained; In readjustments after tho war,.1 men whoso places hud been taken by women should have tho first claim for employment; and finally, If women are good enough to bo called iiK)ii to help tlej government In time of need they are good enough to bo nlolwed to vole. You see thoy are not to he foolud, these woman. There Is no doubt that the econo mic problems raised by the rapid In troduction of women In industry will bo serious and difficult.
