C%0NTRABAND OF WAR.

What Can Be Seized and What Cannot
by Warning Nations.
Whether a ship which leaves port
while the nation whose flag it flies is
at peace is liable to seizure at sea bv
an enemy which declares war before
the ship has made it's port is a puz.
cling question.
Many Steamship men believed that a
ship leaving port under the conditions
stated was safe until it reached its
port. This view, however, is a mis-.
taken one, according to Professor
George w. Kirchwey of Columbia uni.
versity, n of the foremost authorities
on international law in this country.
"A declaration of war takes effect
all over the world at the moment OF
declaration" said Professor Kirchwey.
LAS soon as a nation has declared wal
1t may seize any ship on the sea fly
ing the flag of an enemy, whether or
not that ship left port before the dec.
laration of war was made.
"Similarly a vessel flying a neutral
flag, but carrying contraband of war,
Is liable to be contiscated and seized
rs a prize by a belligerent power at
any time after the declaration of war,
whether the vessel left port before. or
after war was declared.
"Contraband of war is a vague term.
Arms, ammunition, uniforms and other
material of war are cOntraband per
Sc. Wheat, foodstuffs or supplies Of
any kind which are destined to re-
lieve a besieged city or to support an
army are %contraband. Food supplies
intended for the peaceful inhabitants
of a country at war are not regarded
as c%ontraband, according to the GUS
tom Of recent years. But the warning
nation usually makes its own deini.

Things the Children Like to Read
ENGLISH BOY SCOUTS.

Sir Robert Baden-Powell has appeal
ed to the British public to provide
100000 endowment for the boy
scout movement. He has received
$325,OOO toward the desired total. In
writing of the boy scout movement
Sir Robert says: Very good work lies
possible to it, especially in the slulns
of our great Industrial centers, where
thousands of the poorer class boys are
never given Il chance to start fair in
the race for life, but are left to drift
into unemployableness and misery
without a hand to help them. Yet they
are human and could be made into
good citizens and valuable assets to
the nation in their thousands We're a
little trouble taken to help them"

But Mike had no standing with the

meanor and seldom spoke, but when
he did his words seemed to weigh u
ton. The public defender was appoint
ed, and the citizens congratulated them
selves that justice thereafter would be
provided for accused persons as we'll
as for the state.
The first person to come before the
court was Mike Conover himself. A
robbery had been committed in the
town involving the loss of a watch
and about $40 in currency. 1t had &C.

s%ailant, who soon released his hold.
When Hardness arrived at home he
found that he had been relieved of a
gold watch and chain and the money
which he had carried in his vest pocket.
He reported the matter to the police,
who advised him to say nothing about
the matter for the present. They were
engaged in ferreting out other crimi-
n%alities, and it would aid them if the
criminal supposed that Hardness had
pocketed his loss without reporting it.
a few days after this Mary Doolan

finding her at home, sat down in the

the watch found. Hardness without
hesitation identified it as his property.
The bills he had lost We're not found,
but they could not have been identified

Mike was arrested. and the public

SPRING EMBROIDERlES.
A Long Distance Guess at What May
Be Worn,

what type Of embroidery will prevail
for spring, voiles are confidently men,
toned. The new voiles will be eX-
~ceptiona!ly fine, soft and sheer, in
keeping with the indicated vogue for
dainty embroidery patterns.
Soft finished, fine materials on the
batiste order, under various new
names. will also be in high favor, and
there will be novel cloths in p%rofusion.
In designs it is believed that fllet
effects suggesting the fillet patterns
now fashionable in laces will have
an excellent position. Dainty demi-

CANNING TOMATOES.
Here 10 About the Best Way to Pre-
pare Them,

The best way to can tomatoes whole,
says n noted housewife, is simply to
pack them, without pceling, INFO wide
mouthed Jars. Half fill the jars with
cold water, put the jars into a large
saucepan or washboiler with water
to reach halfway up the jars. Bring
the water to boiling point, boil half an
hour, take out the jars, fill them to
overlooking with boiling water and
seal.
In this way you will get all the value
from the tomatoes. You can do this
after dinner, and you can do it while
washing your dishes. This is a partic-
ularly nice way for those who pick the
fruit from their own vines as it ripens.
In Il short time you will have IL good
ly stock on hand for u rainy day, and
a can opened in winter will give you
the full, fresh flavor of tomatoes from
the vines.

DELICIOUS SALADS.
Vegetable Combinations That May Be
DaintiIy Sewed.

A delicious combination salad is the
following: Shred fresh, crisp lettuce
and on it arrange thin slices of beets
and the whites of hard boiled eggs
chopped fine. Add finely chopped CHER
kins and a little minced onion. Serve
with m%ayonnaise dressing which is fla
vored with mustard.
Whatever sort of combination salad
you make, prepare it daintily. Garnish
1t with slices of hard boiled eggs or
minced white and yolk Of hard boiled
egg, olives, parsley, slices of pickles,
slices Of ripe tomato, nut meats or
cheese balls.
Have the lettuce with which it is
served always crisp and chilled. Then,
no matter what sort of vegetables you
utilize, the salad resulting will be
worth eating.

himself out Of this his first case as
public defender. Mike assured him
that he was perfectly innocent. He
mad gone out to work very early one
morning and came upon a gold watch
and chain lying ION the sidewalk. He
picked them up and took them. home
after his days work, showing them
to his wife and asking her what to do
about it. Bridget said that the owner
of The watch had doubtless dropped it
unawares and would advertise it in a
loss notice tackled to a tree or in the
town paper, which would be issued in
a few days. He had better be on the
lookout for such notice. But nothing
appeared on the trees or in the paper,
and Bridget told Mike when he went
to work on the day Of his arrest that
she would try to find the wner
The public defender listened to this
statement with supreme contempt. In
the first place he did not believe it,
In the second he could not prove it,
and in the third he proposed to show
his ingenuity in getting his client off.
He asked Mike how much money he
had, and Mike said that Bridget was
his banker and he believed she had
something like 5000 in a stocking. The
defender told him to bring it to him.
mike" he said. "your story would
snever go down with a jury. We must
prove an alibi." Mike didn't know
what an alibi was, but he produced
the 5000.
At the trial the prisoner was aston
ished to learn that on the night Of the
robbery he was in a town fifty miles
distant and at midnight was drinking
in the Alhalnbra saloon with several
witnesses who swore to the statement.
The defendant made a strong case,
and the prosecutor was much troubled
to disprove the alibi. He talked all
day to gain time and during the night
paid one of the defendants witnesses
$40 to swear that he had been mis-
taken in the man. This broke down
the statements of the other witnesses
for the defense. and the facts We're so
conclusive against the prisoner that he
was convicted without the Jurors leav-
ing their seats.
"Michael COnover, stand up said
the Judge. "Have you anything to say
why sentence should not be passed
upon you?"
II have" said a voice, and a man
in clerical garb came forward and ask
ed to be sworn. Then he said:
Bridget C%onover, the prisoners wife,
came to me recently to be confessed.
She told me that her husband had
found a watch and chain and asked me
what he should do to find the owner"
Here was evidence that even the
public prosecutor did not think of re-
butting. Mike received a new trial and
was acquitted by the jury that had
convicted him and went forth a free
man.
