British Seek to Expedite
Organization and Work
of Their Prize Courts

British embassy officials are in con-
slant communication with the State De-
partment with a view to expediting the
organization Of English prize courts and
simplifying the machinery for their
operation. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, British
ambassador, called at the department in
this connection. it is understood.
The British government is anxious to
have the courts begin sittings. SO that
neutral commerce, which may be part of
the cargo Of prizes, may be restored
promptly to its legal owners, and the
American government shares in the
British desire for simplicity and ex-
petition.
In case Of capture at sea, according
to international law, it becomes the first
duty Of the captor to convey the prize
to port Of its own or one Of its allies
for adjudication by special tribunals
which may sit in the ports or territory
of a belligerent or in those of an ally,
but not in neutral ports.
The function Of these courts is solely
to determine whether the capture was
legally made. and in arriving at decisions
the st1pulations of treaties are obliga-
tory upon the nations which have agreed
to them and prize courts bound to re-
spect these treaties in settling con-
troversies between the subjects or citi-
zens of signatory powers.
The second Hague peace conference
provided for a tribunal Of appeal in
prize cases.

ing Cruise Charged,

Because of unmentioned violations of
the naval regulations committee during
the recent cruise in European waters
three midshipmen at the Naval Academy
ut Annapolis have been dropped from the
rolls Of the navy. Capt Fullam. super
Intendent Of the Naval Academy, who
was in command Of the naval midship-
mems practice squadron. reported the
matter to the Navy Department He
said that the young men were amenable
to trial by court-martial for their alleged
misconduct. but in view Of their youth
and inexperience he recommended that
they be allowed to resign from the navy
IN order to avert the possible stigma OF
dismissal.
Secretary Daniels approved the recon-
mendation and the three midshipmen &C
cepted the situation and rendered their
designations. Mr.. Daniels declined to dis
close the nature of the alleged misbe-
havior Of the midshipmen.

Trick Learned From Beers.
Wounded men in the hospitals Of
Boulogne related to the Express cor
respondent there incidents of the fight
ing between the British and Germans.
One Of the men, he says. told OF q
trick which the British learned in the
Boer war, and which worked very well
against the Germans. The story Of the
incident follows:
1.-THE enemy before sending their in
fantry against our positions. opened a
hot artillery fire. Our artillery re-
piled at first warmly, and then gun
after gun of the British batteries went
silent.
What's up now?' I asked a COM
rade. There were q few minutes more
OF artillery nrlne from the Germans
and then their infantry came on in
solid formation. We received them
with rifle fire. Still they came on and
still we moved them down. They
were getting closer. and we could
plainly see the dense masses moving.
Then SUDDENLY the whole of our artil-
lery opened fire.
You see they had not been silenced
at all, and 1t was a trick to draw the
Germans on. They went down in whole
fields, for our guns got them in open
ground and, of course. they soon had
enough. 1t was impossible for those
behind to come up past the dead"
