BRITISH SEIZE MEAT
FOUR cAReoEs, WORTH MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS, CONDEMNED.
Products Owned by American Packers
Are Declared Forfeited to the
Crown by Tribunal.

London, Sept 18.-Chicago packers
were defeated in the British prize court
when that tribunal handed down a de-
cision on Thursday confiscating to the
crown large American cargoes taken
from merchantmen The prize court
held that these cargoes were ultimate
ly destined for Germany, to be used by
that country for her army and navy.
The firms whose contentious were
overruled by the court were Armour
& Co, Swift & Co., Nelson Morris &
Co. and the Schwartzschild-S ulzberger
company.
At the conclusion of its decision the
court granted leave to appeal, provid-
ed $4,000 security was posted as Sc
curity for the costs of further pro-
ceedings.
The judgment was delivered by Sir
Samuel T. Evans. president of the
court II involves the cargoes of the
Norwegian steamships Kim. Alfred
Nobel. Observation-Disclosures and Frid-
land
All the goods on these vessels, con-
sisting principally of American meat
products. are confiscated, with the ex-
ception of small portion which the
court released to claimants.
The meat cargoes, shipped for the
most part by the great American pack
ing companies and valued by them at
SIS 100000. were found by the presi-
dent to be destined, except for some
small items, not for consumption in
Denmark, but for delivery in Germany.

TERRIFIC BATTLE is FOUGHT
Field Marshal Won HIndenburg Now

Moscow-Czar Loses Important Rail
Lines-Defenders Are Routed.

Berlin, Sept. 21.-Vilna, the great
railroad and industrial center of north
western Russia, has fallen before the
German drive, which has taken 10
great cities and fortresses since the
capture of Warsaw, capital of Poland.
The goal upon which the eyes of
General Won Hindenburg and all Ger
many has been set since Warsaw was
entered, was captured Sunday by the
forces of General Won Eichhorn.
which have been fighting stubbornly
eastward since their capture of
Kovno three weeks ago. The most
desperate Russian resistance encoun-
tered in the entire German offensive
has been crushed, and Germany now
holds the key to the vital railroad sys-
tenn of Russia.
The coveted lateral railway from
Rovno in the south to Riga in the
moth, with lines extending from Wilma
to Petrograd, Moscow, Odessa and
through the very heart of Russia is
now controlled by German forces.
The capture of Wilma, town of 170,-
900 population, and one of the manu-
featuring centers Of Russia, is the sew
enteenth similar success attained
since the German drive, which started
on May 2 against Przemysl, has
crossed into German soil near Warsaw
and the Lublin-Cholm line in southern
Poland.
The actual capture of Vinla, though
predicted as imminent since the fall
of Brest-Litovsk several weeks ago.
appears to have been accomplished at
last by desperate rush of General
Won Eichhorn's forces, aided by a
simultaneous offensive by Generals
Won Scholz and Won Gallwitz and
Prince Leopold of Bavaria, conquerer
of Warsaw:
The official announcement that the
Russians were routed completely at
the fall of the city leads to the as
sumption that though their losses in
men killed and wounded were great,
no body of troops was surrounded aud
captured.

U. S. HITS SEA POLICY
WILSON AND LANSING CON-
PLETE NOTE TO ENGLAND.
Call Ship Seizures Illegal and Acts
Unfriendly-Denounced as In
justified by World Law.

Washington, Sept. 20.-President
Wilson and Secretary Of State Lam
sing conferred at length on Friday
on the completed note of this govern
ment to Great Britain and on tho
phases of the controversy with Ger
many over the sinking of the Arabic.
The points of the new note to Great
Britain. as obtained from officials who
have had part in putting it into pres
ent form, are:
That as the United States has re-
peatedly and consistently denied spe-
officially every one of the justifications
set up by Sir Edward Grey, the British
minister for foreign affairs. and Lord
Crewe, his assistant, this government
cannot fail to regard the persistent OPP
preston of American commerce as I'M
friendly.
That Great Britain acted illegally
when she took cases of seizure and de-
tention out of the domain Of diplomacy
and made them merely matters for
the British prize courts.
That the argument by Great Britain
for such action is indefensible, because
it is based on the order in council,
which is itself an illegal policy.
That the establishment of a block
ade under the order in council which
pretends to include neutral ports, is
not justified by international law on
the mere suspicion that neutral ports
may be made the basis for unneutral
acts.
That the contention of Great Britain
that cargoes may be seized and de-
tanned on suspicion alone, without any
assertion of reasonable proof. is abso-
lutely untenable under any form of
recognized law of nations.
That the United States has hereto
fore given Great Britain notice that it
would not tolerate acts such as in the
packers case, which were based on
the illegal withdrawal of questions of
seizure and detention from the cate
CORY of diplomatic questions. The
United States has in fact filed its
caveat, putting Great Britain on no
tice.
1t is stated that there is in the note
no suggestion of the ultimatum of a re
mand for a definite answer from
Great Britain within any specified
time.

German Submarine.

Washington. Sept. 1S.-The case of
the Allan liner Hesperian. which was
destroyed by an explosion about two
weeks ago near Fastnet, has become
practically closed incident at the
state department Secretary Lansing
received the report of the German ad-
miFalty In this case on Thursday, and
the department is disposed to accept
the German explanation. The main
point in the admiralty report is that
the vessel could not have been de-
stroyed by German torpedo. for the
reason that the reports from subma-
rines at the time of the accident show
that none of them was in that locality.
