Thursdays Livestock Market

The live stock market on Thursday
at the Detroit stockyards was con-
Quoted under great difficulty and in
convenience to all concerned, owing
to the lack of yardage space avail
able. Cattle were fairly active and
about steady with last weeks trade.
Calves sold at So for tops Medium
weight lambs, II fat, brought $7.65 to-
ST.75. Heavy lambs were hard to sell
at prices fully so cents per cwt be-
low those paid for best grades.
Hogs we're dull and slow, good
mixed punches selling at $3.50 at the
yards. The packers we're paying 1915
for hogs direct from the country,
weighed into their packing houses.
Indications point to much lower
prices soon.

II VERY government in the
r. world knows that the per-
son and the property of
British subject, wherever located,
must be adequately protected
against injury or wrong.
Failure to accord this protection
invariably results injuriously to
the government through whose
neglect or connivance the wrong
may have been suffered. So in
evitable is the punishment meted
out to those concerned in doing
violence to the rights of British
subject, in the most remote and
inaccessible parts of the world,
that the subjects or citizens of
other foreign countries are on
that account treated with a con-
sideration often denied to the cit
izens of weak governments even
in their home countries.
What is the result of this uh-
varying British policy? The i'm
munity of her subjects from in
jury and wrong in all parts of
the world. Great Britain's repu-
tation has been so thoroughly es-
tablished in this regard that it is
seldom that she is now called up
on to demonstrate anew her adj
less principles upon which it is
based
A Briton, wherever he may be,
therefore, has a conscious assur-
ance at all times that a great
compelling and irresistible force
stands ever ready to protect his
person and his property, or exact
the uttermost in punishment and
in reparation for the violation of

in a measure, of other nations, it
is equally true of none. Where

persons and the property of their
citizens.
Take the case of w. S. Benton,
a British ranch owner in Mexico,
who has been executed by the
Mexican commander of an insur-
gent army. 1t becomes on the
instant one of deep and acute in
ternational concern.
Hundreds of American men and
women have been butchered or
outraged in Mexico Nothing has
been done.

punishment and reparation if
there is injustice or wrong no.
body doubts. The eyes of all the
world are focused upon distressed
and disordered Mexico, and the
constant prayer of humanity is
tnat peace and order may be
quickly restored and thereafter
permanently maintained in that
blood stained and distracted re-
public. And it is there that
Great Britain finds herself com
PEELED to enforce the principles
upon which she and her subjects
have believed themselves secure
in foreign countries.
