"the beligerent party is to have the
right to prevent the transportation or
war supplies to his advcrsarics, even
when carried on vessels Of the neu-
tral party; on the other hand the
commerce and navigation Of the neu-
trail party is to be interfered with as
little as possible by the measures
necessary for such prevention and
reasonable compensation is to be paid

which may, nevertheless, ensue from

That, in short, is Germany's argu-
ment based on her Interpretation Of
the treaty, and to that the view Of
the United States is squarely opposed.
Payment for the Frye in the manner
suggested would not affect the ques-
ton of rights under the treaty
A German prize court, on July 10,
held the imperial government for
damages but fixed no amount since
the United States declined to become
a party to the proceeding, demand
ing settlement by diplomacy under
the treaty.

CONDUCTORESS NOW
ON DUTY IN BERLIN

BERLIN, Aug 4.-The art Of
Conducting" a street car through
the crowded thoroughfares of Berlin
is being taught to women i'm five
schools for conductOresses," which
graduate" each week a total of be-
tween 500 and 400 female conductors
to take the, place of men gone to the
war.
Not since the earliest days of the
electric car in Berlin have pupils who
were candidates for positions on the
back platform proved as apt as are
the women who once were considered
as absolutely untitled for this sup
poscdly masculine work. Between
$500 and 5000 women are now en-
ployed and incidentally everyone who
has applied passed the preliminary
examination. A large percentage,
however, cannot stand the strain and
have to seek other work
The women are given a theoretical
course of three days, eight hours a
day, in one of the five schools that
are located in Charlottenburg. Trep-
tow. Iichterfelde. Lichterherg and
Weissensee, suburbs Of Berlin. This
is followed by a longer period Of prac-
teal training, during which they are
accompanied on genuine trips by eX-
perieuced conductors, learn the names
of the streets, and have chance to
put their theoretical training into
Use.
The Berlin public has cc-operated
heartily with the street car authori-
ties i'm its introduction of women on
the cars. There has as yet been no
single case recorded of an insult TO
one Of the female conductors. and it
is rare that passengers have not
choerfully been willing to put up with
"grcennCss' and incNperieuCe.

The World composing room.
The firm has bought one Of the

machines and other modern ma
chlnery which is installed in rooms
81 and 33 Culbertson building.
The installation of this modern and
exclusive law-brief printing cstab-
lishmcnt will be welcomed by the
fraternity, for the reason that ON ac-
count of the congestion Of business in
other printing offices in the city il
has been necessary to send a great
deal of this class of work out of town,
necesstating extra expense and ad-
ditional delay.

shown. Despite a general decrease in
exports of manufactured copper Great
Britain sent Norway 3l7 tons i'm 1915
as against As tons in 1914. Increased
American copper exports to Scandi-
navian countries have been cited by
Great Britain to sustain her conten-
ton.

cases forced to sell cotton to pay off
Ipressing Indebtedness and to secure
adequate food supplies.
Attention is called to the fact that
I the high prices for cotton now pre-
Ivailing in Germany and Russia, about
30 cents a pound, will attract cotton
to those countries in spite of appar-
emily insurmOuntable obstacles, just as
high prices paid for cotton ABROAD
during the civil war made blockade
running a steady business.
Have Market This Year.
There seems to be no question
that ample funds can be obtained to
finance i'm n normal way much
larger volume of cotton than was
taken care of last year and that even
if Germany and Austria Hungary
should be forced to suspend cotton
manufacturing entirely satisfies show
that the mills Of the United States.
Great Britain, Spain, Russia Italy,
Japan, China and India have spindles
sufficient to absorb every bale of cot
ton that is likely to be cultivated.
1T should be noted that the reduc-
tion in American cotton acreage this
year amounts to more than five mil
lion acres and that Egypt and India
have also made radical reductions in
cotton acreage. 1t is probable that
the worlds cotton crop, based on an
average yield an acre, will be about
five million bales less than last year.
Cotton, unlike grain, is com

doubt that If the south will keep cool |
and viii refrain from merely ken |
ing its own position by unwise action,
the present nervousness regarding the
market for the growing crop will soon
disappear.

Even in the face of all the adverse
conditions during the last twelve

has been about what. might have been

The real question is: VIII south
