U. S. CONTRABAND ORDER ]
APPROVED BY GERMANS;
PARIIALlTY IS CLAIMED

Berlin, Via London, Dee. 1, 5.sl A.
N.-The statement of the American
Ambassador, James W. Gerard, regard.
ing contraoand is generally reprinted in
the German press. The s.Kreux Zei-
tnng sac that no objection can be
raised 10 the standpoint taken. which
Is thoroughly objective aud eompre-
hensive.
Count Ernest Won Rsyentlow, in the
fages Zeitung,' finds the American
standpoint technically correct, but a..
gaes that such shipments whereby only
the allies benefit and which constantly
strengthen the military effort directed
against 6ermany actually work out in
practice as support of one beligerent
to the detriment OF another and iu n
way are contrary to the spirit of neu,
trslity. he makes the suggestion that
the American government use the
weight of its authority in London TO 50.
cure the delivery of such supplies to
Germany and its allies. He also Saws
that the United States will be able
to demonstrate, by such n practical pol.
icy, indaeitsbly that its neutrality is
loyal,
The statement credited to Ambassa-
ldor Gerard is undoubtedly the view ex-
pressed by the United States in its
reply to Germsny's protest that Eng
land and France were violating the
declaration of London with regard to
| what was contrabsnd.
The reply stated that the United
| States withdrew its suggestion. made to
the beligerent countries, that the des.
lsration of London be adopted as q
temporary code of naval warfare in
the use of the present war and this
was done because OF the unwilingness
of some of the belligerents to adopt
the declaration Of London without mod
iticatiou.
The United States government
therefore, the reply went on to say,
would insist that its rights and its du-
ties and those of its citizens in the
present war be defined by the existing 9
rules of international law and the
treaties of the United States with the
helligereRts. II also said that the Unit
ed States government would reserve the
/ right 10 enter a demand or protest in
every case where its rights and duties
are violated or their free exercise him

ment to rid ourselves of this system of distributing seeds. | think it is one of the greatest humbugs that was ever palmed off on an unsuspectinp public.
 On the other hand it can be said that thousands of small farmers from one side of the country to the other received, use and appreciate these free seed packages, and actually miss them and often write for them, if not re- ceived on time. It can not be said then that the custom is totally a fail ure. The main trouble is with the de- partment itself in sending out trash instead of seeds. There is nothing necessary except for the department to quit the custom of sending out trash if necessary and send out the very best seeds obtainable. even though the quantity and variety be much reduced.
