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

complished in nny other way, the
Htoppiug of the Hiipplv mnv in the

"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

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guides woro withdrawn from tho wag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.

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
