But Little Naval Strength.
On paper Venezuela's naval strength
looks quite formidable in the number
of ships; but their total tonnage does
not approximate that of the Geldor-
land. Venezuela has no guns aboard
the ships larger than a six-p0under

to do with the letter at this time. It
is explained that because OF the fact
that certain general increase In freight
rates are to become effective August

positive action became necessary. In
conclusion the letter says:
This association stands for a
square real for the carriers. 1t believes
that their property rights should be
protected the same as the property
rights Of individuals" but we are I'M
alterably opposed to any policy OF the
carriers which has for its purpose the
ignoring of our courts, and the plac-
ing of themselves above laws Of the
land. II they expect the protection
OF the laws and the courts. they must
show a wholesome regard for the law
and respect the DEGREES Of the courts.
II the railroads deliberately ignore
this solemn mandate of the courts and
continue an unlawful manner to bur.
den trade and commerce among the
states by continually increasing rates
the question arises: Is there no power
in the land sufficiently strong to reach
railroad companies that reeklessly
brush aside the decree OF our courts?"
This association believes that you.

strict enforcement OF the law. see to

Germantown was fought. It's thick

Ia soldiers, who, giving way to the

A dozen attempts were made to
capture the house, but the British re-
pulsed them all and the diversion was
Of Invaluable advantage to the sorely
