Law Controlling Forbidden
Shipments.

LONDON, 4 :5S pm, July Gin the
continuation today Of the hearing in the
cases of the four Scandinav Wan ships
carrying meat cargoes from the United
States. Solicitor General Smith put before
the court his view of the law controlling
shipments Of absolute contraband by neu-
trails to neutral ports. The solicitor gen.
eral claimed that the liability of the
cargoes to be captured arose as soon
as 1t was shown that they were des-
tined for the territory of a nation at
war with Great Britain or for that
nations armed forces.
1t was impossible to resist the in
ference. the solicitor general con-
tinued, that the goods in question were
intended by the shippers to be forward
ed into Germany. and that they had
gesorted to every artifice to conceal the
destination and deceive the belligerents.
The fact that the food was consigned
to order" he commended, was further
evidence that it was intended for a hos
tile power.
