to blame. The United States Government
claimed damages for losses caused by a
dozen vessels, but the Court of Arbitration
hold England liable, unanimously, only in
the case of one vessel. This is plain evil
neutrality during the war in the United

can case presented at Geneva We cheerful
ly consent to pay the sum awarded as tend
ing to obviate similar difficulties in the
future"
