Cargo Of American
Wheat is Released

LONDON. Nov. 23.-A British naval
prize court today ordered the release OF
cargo of wheat consigned to Rotter-
dam by Muir & Co. OF New York. The
shipment was seized on the British
steamship Miramichi. in the Mersey, af-
ter the outbreak of hostilities.
The court held that as the cargo had
left an American port before war vas

therefore was not liable to seizure.
The court ruled. however. that a British
ship carrying an enemy's cargo was liable
to seizure anywhere in war time
