a sprinkling cart coming down the

"yVhen my three sons were come to
an age when they were commencing 70

an account book and told to consider

mately derived from the principle OF

that she is doing only what the United

the present war,
1t is admitted here that the British
arguments are for the most part able
and ingenious particularly in their APP
pllcaton of United States procedure
in the civil war and American prize
court decisions in the civil war cases
to the defence Of practices against
which the United States is now COM

markedly different from the Brit!s
notes Of last winter on tho same and
related subjects in that they are al

tain little OF the cNtrtucous matter OF
former notes
1t is believed here that tho British
authorities have At least come to un-
derstand something u' the American

ment's reading Of the law. with a de-

$1,000 RING STOLEN
In OSTEND RECOVERED
Mrs. Helen Y. Engel Learns
Through Belgian Police Of
Thief's Arrest.

Mrs. Helen V. Engel, 5i5 West liith
street. wife of Louis Engel. a cigar
manufacturer. was notified yesterday
through the New York police that a
diamond ring valued at $4,000, which
was stolen from her year ago In
Ostend. Belgium. had been recovered.
The notification came from Ernest
Goddefroy, Commissioner OF Police Of
Ostend, who has been driven by the
German occupation OF Belgium to con-
duct his operations from the compara-
tive safety OF Hull. England. He wrote
Commissioner Woods that the ring.
stolen by a young German from the
hotel in Ostend. where Mrs. Engel left
1t while bathing. had been recovered
and the thief arrested,
The Belgian police official did not
know Mrs. Engels address. so Lieut..
Grant Williams OF the missing persons
bureau began n search OF the city. After
calling up several Mrs. Engels, the
owner of the ring was found. and she
described it satisfactorily as gold
ring set with three large diamonds. Mrs
Engel wrote the Commissioner at Hull
yesterday. saying her offer OF a 5000 re-
ward still held good.
He says | can get my ring by writ
ing or going to Hull" she said. I'D
rather write than take chance with
the submarines. I've had enough war.
| was in Ostend on July is. when the
ring was lost, and went to Carlsbad on
July 20, after leaving my name with
the Ostend police. Then the war caught
me and had to ride in cattle trains
and troop trains to get to Paris. and
from there to Havre. There stayed

DAYS before she sailed. and even then |

that 1t is my ring. but don't want II
