He Got the Horse.

A wet Sunday is trying time for
small boys and girls, and still more so
for their parents. On one such day
little Donald was very fidgety.
First, he asked his mother II he
could play with his bricks.
"Oh. not" was the shocked reply
you don't play with bricks on Sun
day."
In turn his trumpet, his drum and
bail were also banned. The little chap
was silent for short time. then he
asked for his horse.

papers It was arranged to have some of
the speediest torpedo-boat destroyers
in the navy stationed in the Narrows
off Quarantine and in the sound of
Whitestone. Cables were laid and at
tached to buoy, from which direct
connection could be made with one
of the destroyers on guard at either
station. SO that It would be possible
to telephone direct from the custom

any minute during the day or night
Private telephones we're also placed

to get into instant communication

The efficacy of this supervision was
tested when the steamship Pathfinder,

but even then the captain refused to
stop until solid shot was fired across
his bows. He thereupon decided to
take no chances on what might hap
pen next and returned as ordered
to the Quarantine station, where he
was detained until proper clearance
was produced. Several other boats
have been stopped In like manner.
The vigilance of the neutrality
squad" as Mr.. Malone's army OF
husky watchers has come to be known
among the harbor folk, is evidenced
by several incidents. Two one-time
United States torpedo boats. the Por.

speed of from twenty-four to twenty
six knots, had been condemned by

New York.-New York is a neutral

New York.-New York is a neutral
port.
1t is neutral despite the presence
here of vessels of all nations.
These vessels are free to come and
go as long as they observe the neutral
ity laws of the United States.
Dudley Field Malone, collector OF
the port, is charged with the respon-
sibility for the enforcement Of these
laws.
Mr.. Malone has been without prece-
dent to guide him. No other collector
of this port ever had to deal with a
situation like that created by the war
in Europe.
From the outset he has been de-
termined, so far as his district is con-
cerned, to prevent any act on the
part of any of the belligerents which
would compromise the neutrality OF
this country as defined in President
Wilson's proclamation, says the New
York Herald.
The need for prompt and vigorous
action was emphasized by the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm episode. The records
of the custom house show that this
vessel cleared in proper manner.
The authorities had no legal right to
detain it.
Becomes Commerce Destroyer.
Yet the facility with which the
Kronprinz Wilhelm was transformed
from peaceful merchant vessel to
a commerce destroyer as soon as 1t
was on the high seas caused the gov
eminent to turn its attention to the
activities which became manifest on
board other steamships that were in
the harbor.
Mr.. Malone Immediately organized
q neutrality bureau, consisting of
about a hundred customs officials
These men were assigned to various
piers and stations where vigilance
seemed necessary.
Each man was held to strict &C.
countability, but Mr. Malone set them
a splendid example, for night after
night he was out in the harbor, in
wind, rain or cold, either on d torpedo
boat destroyer or one of the govern
ment's fast launches which have been
assigned to neutrality duty.
The formalities attending the clear
ance of a vessel were made more
strict, q closer inspection of the load
ing of cargoes was instituted, and to

John refused to go and was handed

they had reached the police station
did he make himself known. Then
Tom bought two boxes of cigars for
the police officers to quiet their
laughter and said he would buy every
man a drink if they had not already
closed the saloons.

Farm Deposits Instead Of Loana

Farm Deposits Instead Of Loans.
One trouble with us in the South is
that we think too much about bank
as being a place to get money in,
instead of as place to put money in;
and it would be better, as Doctor But
Ter recently suggested, if we said that
it is "a rural banking system" that
we need rather than rural credit
system-for it must embody the de-
post and saving feature as we'll as the
credit and borrowing feature.-From

The Neutrality picks its way along

them than telephone bell rings aft.
Lieut.. George NJ. Lowry answers the
call and returns with message for

from the Office of Mr.. Malone. The
destroyers have steam up and are
ready to make a dash If the occasion
should arise.
Beyond the Narrows, in Gravesend
bay, in what has been designated by
the harbor authorities as the loading
ground for explosives. several ships
are taking on dynamite, tri-nitro

make you shudder at the mere thought
of what might happen if one of the
boxes carelessly swung from the light
er alongside should slip from the
block and tackle and fall to the deck.
All barges carrying explosives arc
required by the municipal ordinance
to fly two large red flags, one at the
bow and one at the stern, and at
night to display two red lanterns.

flag flying or other indication of the
dangerous cargo they were transport
ing. The attention of the neutrality
squad" was called by Mr.. Malone to
this carelessness.
The customs guards are also forced
to keep rigid watch to see that no
explosives are loaded on passenger
ships. 1t is likewise part of their
duty, under the law, to prevent ship
pers from loading goods under false
classification.
In enforcing neutrality Mr.. Malone
has not lost sight Of the fact that
the motive of patriotism which impels
all aliens in the United States to
want to be of utmost service to their
respective countries is perfectly un.
derstandable, but it has been his con-
slant purpose to compel the repre-
sentatives of all nations to realize
that they can only serve the cause
of their governments by keeping
within the limits and prohibitions of
our neutrality laws.
