are to be considered contraband of war
only If ii can be shown at the time OF
their seizure that they are destined for

that il was not sufficient that foodstuffs

government as one of the great integral
parts OF its argument, and the modiica.

in reserve would, If accepted, throw in

cally the burden OF proving that the con-

dict would always be within the power
OF the OBTAINING nation, since IL could
define for its own satisfaction what con-

modification Of the Salisbury rule is the
most unsatisfactory feature of the Brit

international law which neither the

CURRENT COMMENT
The Death of Judge James [. Martin.

The Death of Judge James 1. Martin
The sudden death of James L. Martin
of Brattleboro, United States district
and circuit Judge, at Montpelier, this
morning, as noted elsewhere in this pa
per, will profoundly shock the people OF
Vermont. The public had no intimation
that the distinguished lawyer and jurist
| had any physical weakness, and for this
reason the shock will be greater.
Mr.. Martin was Vermont product,
typical in many ways. The son of a
farmer in poor circumstances, he made
his own way in life, paid for his own
schooling, by manual labor of various
kinds, and gradually put himself in a
commanding position in his chosen pro-
fession.
A legislator of long service, speak
Ell OF the House for three terms, a
state official, attorney of his own coun-
ty, he was made in 1898 United States
district attorney by President Mckin-
ley and reeapointed by President Roose
welt and Taft. Perhaps he was best
known in Rutland for his, prosecution of
Charles w. Mussey and Marvin A. Me-
Clure for the looting of the Merchants
National bank, Is years ago.
As United States judge he won ma
tion-wide reputation for the ability with
which he presided in the famous cases
against the sugar trust, first civil and
then criminal prosecution against its
employees and officers.
As prosecuting officer he was vigor-
GUS in plea, keen in cross examination
Nothing seemed to escape him when he
was presiding as judge in any CASE

PAID SECRETARIES.
Vermont Boards of Trade Should Have
Them, SAYS Secretary Taylor.

James P. Taylor, secretary of the
Greater Vermont association, has begun
systematic efforts to have the various
boards of trade in Vermont employ paid
secretaries, the idea being that a com,
munity may increase its efficiency if the
boards OF trade or other organizations
within their borders viii pay trained
men to give whole or part of their time
in behalf Of the objects for which the or
ganization stands. The project is to put
all commercial organizations on a bus
mess basis TO the end that the civic and
commercial interests of the community
will be served the same as county agri-
cultural interests are served by the coun-
ty advisors.
The Rutland Business Men association,
in response 70 a letter from Mr.. Taylor,
had meeting last week and voted TO APP
point a committee TO consider the ad-
visibility of having a paid secretary.
Colleges and schools are now turning
cut young men with special training for
work as commercial secretaries, and il is
possible for Vermont 10 secure some Of
the graduates az moderate salary az
first. One Of these institutions is the
Tuck School OF Administration and FL
nance at Dartmouth college, and some of
them viii be seeking positions with com
mercial organizations the coming season.
Bellows Pals has already taken mp the
paid secretary proposition and has par
italy raised the money 10 pay Professor
Alfred l.. Smith OF the department OF
commerce Of the Tuck school to be at the
head Of the boosting department Of the
local board Of trade. He will give the
town two and oneshalf DAYS and two
evenings a week. lie Is accepting this
post also that he can use the information
obtained while doing the work as the
foundation for his work at college. The
students may take part in the work at

BATTLE IN AIR
TO drive OFF
ENGLISH FLYERS

BERLIN. Oct l3.-Lieutsnant Won
ScAeele described here. today. some
Sensational battles In the air that were
fought BY him and First Lieutenant
Weese Of Karlsruhe At the western
front. He said:
while nyins in the direction Of
Bapaume. 1t o'clock in the morning.
We met voisin biplan4. near Havrin-
court. The French machine moved In
an easterly direction At great speed
and was about $500 feet above u. but
we took up the pursuit at once. Near
Cambria We were surprised BY an
Euglish biplane Of the Bristol type.
which started to attack us. fired IS
shots from our machine gun and some
Of them must have hit the English
airship. rs 1t stopped its attack and
started to flee In the direction Of
Arras. AZ the British machine was
very much faster than ours We had
to give up the pursuit
South Of Cambria We discovered
another English biplAne and near Pc
rome We caught up with this machine.
The fight began at distance Of about
$50 to 200 feet. After I had fired
about Is shots q lever Of my machine
gun broke and had to continue the
fire with my carbine. The battle
lasted IL minutes. but the faster Eng.
fish aeroplane gained on US and fin
ally got away.
Near st. Quentin. First Lieutenant
Weese, my pilot, noticed that some Of
our batteries were firing at an aero
plane which We could not see. Gid
ing down about 5000 feet We discover
ed Voisin biplane. Our pursuit
was successful. because near Peronne
we were able to attack the enemy's
machine. I had succeeded in repair
ing my disabled machine gun % far
that I could fire 325 shots.
Shortly before 8 o'clock We forced
our opponent to land, two kilometers
south Of Bapaume. Two minutes later
we landed almost ON the same spot
and captured the inmates OF the con-
quered aeroplane. The pilot. Corpal
Judge of the Royal Flying Corps, was
unhurt, but the observer, Lieutenant
Larker Of the Royal Lancaster Regi-
ment, had been struck by four bull
lets. The officer was unconscious
when he was lifted from the wreck Of
his machine and died a few hours Ia
ter.
AN examination Of the captured bi.
plane showed that it was hit no less
than 80 times. The French-built ma
chine bore German markings. to dis
guise it, and was manned by English
aviators.
