u. S. Will Not Protect
Packers Case Decision
From The Tribune Burcsu. ]


Washington, Sept. 16.-No surprise
was manifested at the tSate Depart
ment to-day over the news that four
cargoes Of American meat products had
been condemned by tho British prize
courts. It was stated that this gov
eminent could not legally protest, but
would have to wait until the case had
been passed on by the higher courts.
Secretary Lansing intimated to-day
that international practice made II
irregular to interfere in the procedure
of foreign courts.
The cases in question are covered by
the "caveat" sent to the British gov
eminent on July Ia, giving warning
that the United States would insist on
the rights of shippers under the prin-
ciples and rules of international law
as hitherto established, governing neu-
trail trade in time of war, without
council or other municipal legislation
by the British government and will
not recognize the validity of prize
courts proceedings taken under re-
straints imposed by British municipal
law in derogstion Of the rights of
American citizens under international
law"
This notice indicated that the State
Department did not recognize the
legality Of the Order in Council, but
was not intended as Q rejection OF
prize court proceedings when the deei-
sions were based on international Law.
IL, therefore, II is found that the con-
demnations are based on information al

lBy Gable 10 The Tribune. ]

London, Sept. 16.-Joseph King, NJ.
p, said 70 The Tribune to-day:
"If We should lose the war T.,
wouldn't be on account Of conscription
or otherwise, or even lack Of NUM-
tlons. IL would be solely due TO sheer
want Of policy and generalship at the
head Of affairs. What is needed is a
man like President Lincoln, with cour-
age 70 scrap n general II he lost a
battle.
"Some of our leaders continue re-
peating disastrous errors, but no one
takes notice. Consequently, as in the
case Of the awful Dardanelles muddle,
", 60 on sacrificing our best, bravest
young lives 20 individuals mistakes.
"The same want OF thought runs
through the country's finances. We are
paying munition workers, who are
100000 strong, az stated by Asquith
far more money than they
ever received before. Men formerly re-
.eiy.ag 50 a week are now making S25.
They are mostly spending every cent

WORKERS WITH DEATH

In spite Of Ambassador Dumba'
plight advertisements are carried IN
German and Austrian dailies here
warning munition workers that the
death penalty awaits them IL they
return TO the fatherland. These ads
read:
"The Imperial Austro-Hungarian
Embassy herewith Informs Austrian
and Hungarian subjects, and also
subjects of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
that they will be guilty Of a capitai
crime against the military power OF
their country, according to para
graph 1927 of the Austro-Hungarian

mics of the fatherland.
"A punishment of from ten to
twenty years imprisonment, and,

even the death penalty, is fixed by
statute for this crime.

tive country they will be exposed
to the full penalty Of the law"

not reach Germany. We could not
know, Of course, to whom the Danish
buyers would sell their meat, and u
was practically impossible to furnish
proof. The United States notified Eng
land in July that this view of the regu-
lations could not be recognized.
There are a number OF other ship
ments Of packing house products, val
ued at $4,000, 900, being held up by
England, which have never been
brought to the prize court. England
seeks to justify confiscstion Of these
cargoes on the theory of necessity for
reprisal against Germany, the same ex-
PLANTATION which was given by Ger
many for its submarine activities. AS
matter of fact, the effect of these
seizures is to I'M ure and destroy the
neutral trade of this country, with
whom England is ostensibly at
peace. There is absolutely no justin
cation under international law or under
any order In council for any of the
seizures made by Great Britain"

Cabinet Prevails In Objections
to Proposed Programme

Petrograd, Sept. 16-The Russian
Doums was prorogued to-day until mid
November, President Rodzianko an
nouncing an imperial order authorizing
the propagation, which had been trans
mitted through Premier Goremykin.
The session lasted but three minutes.
There was muttering from a section
OF the Laborite and Radical Deputies OF
at is q crime" as the imperial message
was read by the Vice-President, but the
Constitutional Democrats maintained
silence.
All the Deputies Immediately left the
hall, only Deputy Kerensky, a Laborite,
who shouted, Down with all traitors"
attempting to speak. The leaders OF
the Douma decided there should be no
debate.
The Deputies as they left the cham
Der and gathered in private party con
ferences appeared generally cheerful.
II is pointed out that the Emperor
reserved the right 20 recall the Donna
before November IA if he wished.
Differences Of opinion between the
Cabinet and the DOuma have been
clearly defined since the formation
early this month Of a majority in the
Douma Of Liberal and Progressive ele
ments. The new majority put forward
programme of important reforms, and
il was reported that the Cabinet might
resign. Premier Goremykin went TO the
field headquarters of Emperor Nicholas
10 discuss the situation, and on his re-
turn to Petrograd il was said the gov
eminent regarded the programme Of
the Liberals as untimely.

Believed Simply Talking.

II is necessary to be fair TO Ger
many. Her crime against humanity IN
the Lusitania incident was hideous, but
Il WAS not a crime against the United
States particularly. So far she was
not fiouting American statesmen or the
American government; she was rot
taking advantage of the patience OF
strong man. She had every reason to
believe that the Wilson administ'a-
ton was simply talking; she had ev'ry
reason to believe that its purpose to
act. II 1t had one at any time, was
paralyzed by It's fear Of political cir
cpmstances Germany was not defy
ing America; she was simply acting
ON the facts as she saw them, and she
saw them not too incorrectly
But the American people, who could
not know the facts, were convinced
Germany was simply humiliating TINS
country. with complete disregard for
it's words, spoken in good faith. The
American people believed that the ad-
r,inistration actually meant what II
said-meant it to the extent OF hght-
ing to uphold its words. 1t could not
know what the Democratic politicians
and the German propagandists we're
doing in Washington. 1t could not see
the panic behind the superhcially nrm
words of the various notes. All 1t could
see was a Germany riding roughshod
over this country, and it began to get
mad.
Under the constrsint Of this new
popular sentiment Mr.. Wilson sent his
deliberately unfriendly" note. But
why should Germany believe that TINS
WAS a more sincere warning than the
"strict accountability" note? Not be-
lieving It, the Germans went on TO the
Arabic. This seemed to the whole
country a final demonstration OF Ger
man arrogance. or German contempt
for American policy. But was it? Was
there any reason why the German gov
eminent should now accept the words
of the American note? Could it know
that popular feeling had shifted?
BernstorfR did know Knowing, he
instantly addressed TO Washington his
appeal. He realized that the country
was done with words and that the ad
ministrstion would have to go with the
country. But it would take time TO
make Berlin feel this, and before the
time was allowed came the Arabic
note. Again popular feeling became
aroused. This seemed the final step,
the penultimste proof of German in
sincerity, Of German purpose TO bubble
and continue. But was il or was II not
the proof that Berlin had not yet walked
up TO the fact that the attitude of the
administration was no longer deter
mined by Democratic politicians and
pro German propagandists, but by pa
triotic public sentiment?

British Deny Favoritism
in Prize Court Hearings

London, Sept. 16.-The government
denied to-day that it had any intention
to discriminate against the American
State Department foreign trade ad-
visers in favor Of representatives of
private interest; in securing the release
of goods Of German or Austrian origin
consigned to the United States from
neutral ports.
The government here points out that
its policy how is to order the release of
any such goods on the production of
proof that they either were paid for in
actual cash before March 1 or that the
American owners will ultimately be
compelled to pay for them. Acting on
this policy, the government will release
cargoes as quickly as the required
proofs are presented, without distinc-
ton between private representatives
and the State Departments foreign
trade advisers, II is stated.
Inquiry in American diplomatic cir
cles here to-day showed that private
interests profiting by concessions from
the British government, most OF which
have been the result Of the labors of
the American consulate and embassy
here, produce the required proof with
out delay and without troubling to lay
their case before the British authori-
ties through the usual diplomatic
channels.
These representatives either send
their proofs to the Foreign Office or
take them direct to the Procurator Cen
eral Of the prize court or the Admi-
rally marshal, and speedy release Of
the cargocs usually follows. One of the
chief complaints of both official and
private representatives OF American
importers is the slowness with which

weeks, but has been delayed pending

eminent on the illegality Of the orders
