The Stats Zetun0 In another article on the SUBJ
ect Of British neutrality says that Englishmen can
not see that their neural frontier imposes the duty
upon them OF not assisting any OF tine belgerent
parties in any shape or manner. individually they
do not acknowledge such duty, and their govern
ment Is blind enough not to see the most Migrant
cases. 1t has declined to prosecute the pilot who
for $1,000 plotted the French men-ofwar Into the
North Sea, and permits English vessels 10 provide
the blockading French feet in the Baltic with coal.
Count Paixao openly stated In the Corps LGglslatif
that France had imported 1000 Chassepots from
England, and we are informed that several hun.
dred thousands Of guns have founu their way
from England into France. This is peradious
breach OF neutrality Nobody questions that guns
and ammunition are "contraband." And England
has not even the excuse now which she claimed In
the Alabama case. Since that time the laws In
gard to the conduct or neutras ha been changed,
and while 1t may have been difficult then for the
government to bring forward direct proofs OF
breach Of neutrality on the part Of an English sub
ject 1t is now very eaey matter. because the bur-
den OF the proof lies with the suspected party Ger

an influential Western German paper-the
Anzefger des Westerns which charges the great

the journal adds:--"We Germans need In this gigan
