Settlement of Case of
Wilhelmina and Car
go Announced by the
Counsel for Owners
AMBASSADORS TO
CHOOSE REFEREE

New York, April 13.-The case Of the
American steamship wilhelmina, loaded
with foodstuffs for Germany and detained
since February at Falmouth. England,
has been settled, counsel for the owners
Of the cargo announced today. The Brit
ish government is to buy the cargo and
compensate its owners for loss of antic-
ipated profits IN Germany. Announce
ment to this effect was made by Norvin
r. Lindheim and Charles M. Towne,
counsel for the W. L. Green Commission
Co. of St. Louis. who owned the cargo.
Referee Fixes Amount
Messrs. Lindheim and Towne said that
the amount to be paid their clients was
to be fixed by a referee who would be
chosen by Ambassador Page and Sir Ed
ward Grey. An agreement with the Brit
ish government providing for the pur-
chase of the cargo and the payment of
anticipated profits had been made on be-
half of their clients, the lawyer said, and
thus the prize court proceedings under
which the Wilhelmina has been detained
are brought to an end
In the statement Messrs. Lindheim and
Towne attribute the settlement to the
unpublished Order-in-Councn Of March

seize and requisition any cargo, whether
neutral or not, upon payment of charges.

they had the right under international
law to make it, Messrs. Lindheim ami
Towne thus review the final proceedings
in the settlement
ION April the English prime minister
handed a note to the American anbas-
sador Offering fully TO compensate and
indemnify the owners and providing that
the prize court proceedings should be
stayed The note pointed out that con-
ditions had now changed SO as to render
the test case that would otherwise have
been presented by the Wilnelmna purely
academic.
in part:
The situation has, however, mate
rally changed by the issue of order in
council of March II, 1915, and the meas
ures taken hereunder which prevent
further supplies being sent from America
to Germany whether contraband or not.
In these circumstances there is no longer
any object in continuing the judicial pro-
ceedings in the case of the Wilhelmna.'
The owners have always maintained
that they had an absolute right under
universally acknowledged principles of in
ternational law to seek the German civil
ian market with the foodstuffs cargo of
the Wilhelrina and dispose thereof to
non-combatant consumers at the best
profit obtainable there This right they
were eager to establish in the prize court.
1.-THE final action of the British govern
ment is virtually an admission of the
substantial justice of this contention.
The action of the British government
which modifies the procedure of its own
courts involving an abrogation of prin-
ciples not heretofore disputed in the law
OF nations. left to the owners no other
course but to accept the terms proposed
by Great Britain.

Uzsok Pass the Key

Two gateways into Hungary still
remain barred despite the tremendous
hanmering by the Russian forces and
as the Beskid pass is the less import
ant of the two further advance into
Hungary hangs upon the possession of
Uzsok pass, where the invaders are
meeting with the most stubborn oppo,
sition. Several days ago the Russians
captured a position which gave them
command Of a road leading to the ear
of Uzsok. The importance Of the Car
pathians operations is indicated by
the half-hearted actions reported from
the other sections on the long eastern
front, where even the counter often
sive in East Galicia, which evidently
was planned to divert the Russian
efforts from the passes seems to have
been prosecuted with little energy.
German Reinforcements
The people Of the Dual Monarchy
are said to be greatly cheered by the
number of German reinforcements
passing through Budapest on the way
to the Carpathian front to take part
in the operations which are now be-
lieved to be in charge of the German
general staff
The whole campaign in the East
pivots on Ezsok pass, where the Aus
tro-German forces are in such great
strength that the efforts of the Rus
slams to reach the HUNGARIAN Plains
are likely to be prolonged.
In the West. the French apparently
are satisfied with their recent sue
cesses between Meuse and the Lorraine
frontier and claim only to have come
in contact with the German entansle-
ments in the region Official German
reports assert that determined attacks
