OWNERS SENT
 CEC|L|E BACK They Justify Such Action In Reply To Libel Suits Filled for
 Big Damages.

BOSTON, Dec. 28.-The steamer Kronprinzessin Cecilie, the treasure ship which carried back to American shores with $11.OOO,OOO during a voy- age from New York to Europe last summer because of fear of capture by belligerent war vessels, acted un- der direct orders from the Managing Board of the North German Lloyd Line. according to papers filed in the federal court today. These pa pers constitute the answers of the owners of the steamship to three li- bels filed as a result of the failure to complete the voyage.
 The Cecilie, carrying $11,000.000 in gold and silver bullion and 1,048 pas sengers, sailed from New York on July 2S. Three days later she chang ed her course and headed back to America, arriving at Bar Harbor, Me, on the morning of Aug. 4. She Is now interned at this port, having been transferred from the Maine port recently.
 Justifying the termination of the voyage, the papers filed today as sert:
 "A state of war existed between Germany, France and Russia before the date on which she could have ar rived in due course at Plymouth or Cherbourg, and even if she could have eluded the watchfulness of the French cruisers upon her arrival at Cherbourg would have been seized by the French authorities. In such circumstances it was impossible to reach Bremerhaven, her port of final destination by passing through the English Channel and running the gauntlet of both French and British fleets. The only other course open to the steamship was to make direct ly for Bremerhaven, in which case the specie consigned to France and England would have been seized by the German government"
 Regarding the libel of the Guar anty Trust Company of New York, consignor of $5,000,000 of the bull lion. claiming damages of $1.O4O,467, the answer asserts that, under the maritime laws of the United tates and Germany, the captain had the right to protect his cargo and his ship from capture. It says also that the bill of lading under which the gold was shipped provided that the steam ship should be at liberty to put into a port of refuge.
 In it's answer to the libel of Char les w. Rantoul of New York, pas senger, the company states that Ran toul's ticket provided for transporta- tion to Cherbourg, and that it was impossible to reach that port before Aug. 1, when the war declaration against Russia was made. Further. the company asserts, he demanded and accepted repayment of his pass. age money, and thus cancelled all ob- legations.
 The company declares that any rights possessed by Maurice Hann- senns, a Belgian passenger, who claimed damages of $200,O00, are sus- pended until the close of the war, and that it is forbidden by law to pay any claims or obligations to any rep resentative of a belligerent power.

STUDYING THE CROWDS FROM A WINDOW

There Is much of the serious in life. and it Is my province to see much of it, there is still much free dem from care
 Many people are making the best of their time with pleasure. you never visit place of amusement you do not see crowds enjoying themselves laughing and making merry. They need the light and funny things 10 dl- gest the labors healthfullv.
 An old German gardener once said :: 'I quit my work early so l can meet other faces on the way home, it makes me happier to know that there are other laborers though they use dlt- ferent tools
 He worked hard and he wanted no greater pleasure than to look in the faces of mankind and to know he worked among them, this was one or Birmingham first gardeners and ns was known as Just the Dutchman. If this was expressed as we meet our fellow workman every day work would seem less a burden to some.

These characters that play beneath the windows in their daily errands of life have hopes and disappointments we cannot know with a passing glance. Their conditions and influences affect the community, their environments are either menace or a credit to your welfare and mine. This scene passing before our eyes every day is a com mrnity dependent upon the energies and industry and kindliness of the world in which they live.
 Looking down upon them from the window is only a panorama that pre- sents itself every day, and with it we have the opportunity to get out with the people and make a part of that life by mingling with the world. Max ing that world and yourself better for the contact
 There are so many people in the throngs that only need encouragement. the hand of a kindly person, and 1t Is so easy to give this little if you have that nature
 Not one of us that looks into an anguished face cannot find some spark of light to give if we only think. We are so apt to think It is mebody else's job and pass on to our own af- fairs.

 Washington, D. C., August IS.
 The President today issued the following statement:
 "To my fellow countrymen: It is requested that American citizens confne their speech to 8 spirit of strict neutrality, which is defined as the spirit of mpartialty, in the the European situation
 He declared that the spirit of the nation is determined largely by what indiiduals of society say and do. He explained that the people of the United States were drawn from many na- tions, chiefly those at war, and there would naturally be a great variety of sympathy and desire for certain nations to triumph.
 He showed how easy it would be to excite passion and divide the nation into hostile camps of opinion. Such division he said would prove fatal to our peace of mind and might stand in the way of duty as one great nation at peace, offering impartial me- diation.
