ton but that those who attend viii

Of prize procedure T"ese prize pro
ceedings Will be Instituted before

comprise the settlement Of the Qnes-
ton whether tne destruction Of the

within Il e meaning Of article 49 of t.
declaration of London; whether the
property sunk was liable to capture
and whether, or to what extent, hdem-

Must Prove Their Case.
"In the trial the owners of sip and
cargo would be at liberty, pursuant to
article "a, paragraph Of the declara-
ton OF London, to adduce proof that
the cargo Of wheat had an innocent
destination and did not, therefore, have
the character of contraband. If sac;
proof is not adduced the German gov
ernment would not be liable for any
compensation whatever, according to
the general principles of international
law.
"However, tie legal situation, is
somewhat different in the light of the
special stipulations applicable to the
relations between Germany and the
United States. since article 13, of tie
Prussian-American treaty of friend
ship and commerce of July II, 1872,
taken in connection with article II, Of
the Prussian-American treaty Of COM
merce and navigation of May 1, 1928,
provides that contraband belonging to
the subjects or citizens of either party
can not be confiscated by the other in
any case, but only detained or used in
consideration of payment of the full
value of the same.
con the ground O. this treaty stip-
ulation w, ich is, as matter Of course,
binding on the German prize court, the
American owners Of slip and cargo
would receive compensation even if
the court should declare the cargo Of
wheat to be contraband. Nevertheless.
the approaching prize proceedings are
not rendered superfuous since the
component prize court must examine
irto the legality Of tie capture and de-
struction and also pronounce upon the
standing of the claimants and +ae
amount of indemnity.
