court declines to accept his couten-
tions, and If. after such IA decision
has been upheld on appeal by the ju-
dieial committee of his majesty's x
priyy council, the government Of the
United States considers that there Is
serious ground for holding that the
decision is incorrect and infringes the
rights of their citizens, 1t Is open to
them to contend that It should be
subjected to review by an information
al tribunal"
The celebrated Matamoros cases Of
the civil war then are cited to show
that the supreme court of the United
States held II had the right to re-
verse the decisions of the prize
courts and that there was no doubt
Of the jurisdiction of an international
tribunal to review the decisions or
the prize courts Of the United States
where the parties alleging themselves
aggrieved had prosecuted their ap-
peals to the court of last resort"
If the United States should be dis
satisfied with decisions OF British
prize courts as sustained by the privy
council. the British government Is
prepared to concert with the United
States. 'in order to decide upon the
best way Of applying the principle to
the situation which would then have
arisen

common and yet what is so
priceless. He is in a position,
too, 70 realize the full beauty
Of the world in which God has
placed us. AS familiarity tends
to breed contempt, we, who see
the wonders of nature all about
Us every day, marvel not but
pass on cur way with unseeing
eyes. Shut off from the light
for fifteen years, Mr.. Guiott,
doubtless, knows now what it is
IN the mountains, in the valleys,
in the waters and in the heav-
ems above that can so thrill the
soul Of a painter.
The restoration of his sight
comes to the musician as a re-
ward richly deserved. Robbed
of the one sense which is so es-
sential in meeting the problems
of life, he did not resign him
self to despair and throw him
self a burden upon the charity
of his more fortunate brethren.
With a courage that may have
faltered but did not fail, he ad.
justed himself to the world of
blackness and set himself to
overcome the handicap. How
well he has succeeded the
whole city knows. He has done
his work and done it well, he
has made a home for himself
and the wife and son he had
never seen, and called upon no
man to pity him. Many a man
possessed of all the faculties
nature can bestow, has done
less. Who shall say that in the
recovery of his sight there is
not the hand of a beneficent
providence?

To the American note In the case

Gil, the international invalldity OF
which the government OF the United
States regards as plainly illustrated

ain replied that. while these acts of
the German government continue
tsinking neutral as well as bellger-
ent merchant ships. irrespective Of
destination or origin OF cargo and.
without proper regard OF safety cf
passengers or crew. it seems neither
reasonable nor just that his majes-
tvs government should be pressed Ia
abandon the rights claimed in the
British note and to allow goods from
Germany to pass freely through wa

ships OF war"

dence Of such origin or destination
we are not in practice of OBTAINING

Sir Edwards note closes with the
observation that figures of recent
months show that the increased op-
portunities afforded by the war for
American commerce have more than
compensated for the loss Of the Ger
man and Austrian markets. We shall
continue to apply these measures
with every desire to occasion the least
possible amount of inconvenience to
persons engaged in legitimate com
merce."
In the supplemental note. which is
reply to the American caveat Civ
ing notice that the United States
would not recognize the orders in
council in lieu of international law,
Sir Edward Grey writes he does not
understand to what divergence Of
views as to the principles Of law ap-
plicable in cases before the prize
court the government of the United
States refers for | am not aware OF
any condition existing between the
two countries as to the principles OF
law applicable in cases before such
courts
Prize Court Is Domestic Affair.
Sir Edward compares the rules
governing British prize courts TO the
rules applied BY American courts. re-
ferring especially to the American
case of the Amy Warwick before the
United States supreme court where
1t was held that prize courts are
subject to the instructions of their
own sovereign. In the absence of
such instructions their Jurisdiction
and rules Of decision are to be ascer-
tained by reference to the known
powers Of such tribunals and the
principles by which they are govern
ed under the public law and the
practice of nations It would appear,
therefore. that the principles applied I
by the prize courts of the two coun-
tries are identical"
The supplemental note then pro- |
ceeds with long legal argument to /
demonstrate the practieability of al
prize courts being governed by in
ternatlonal law and at the same time
by municipal law in the form of or
ders-in-council 1t finally comes TO
the case Of the steamer Zamora in |
the present war, In which the British
prize court declared:
"The nations Of the world need not
be apprehenslye orders in council
will emanate from the government Of
this country in such violation of the
acknowledged laws of nations that
II is conceivable that our prize tri-
bunals. holding the law Of nations in
reverence. would feel called upon 10
disregard and refuse obedience to
the provisions OF such orders"
Right OF Arbitration Open.
Sir Edward then points out that
the legality Of the orders In council
or Of the measures taken under them Il
have not yet been brought to deci-
sion in prize court but he reminds
the United States that "it is open to
any United States citizen whose
claim is before the prize court to
contend that any order in counclll
which may affect his claim Is incon-
slstent with the principles Of inter-
national law and IS therefore not
upon the court. II the prize 4

WHO PROFITS SHALL ALSO
PAY

NJ URRENT report has il
VI that the Southern Pacif-
ic company has decided
to abandon its practice of haul
ing the states fish distributing
car Rainbow" free of charge.
Such a decision would seem a
reversion to the narrow, sell
fish policy which character
lied the railroad corporations
in days that are happily in the
past.
The propagation of fish and
game in Oregon means in
creased receipts for the rail-
roads. Not only do we'll stock
ed streams bring an influx of
sportsmen from other states
but they mean frequent fish
ing trips by the home anglers.
The number of fares to Gibbon
and Meacham during a season
here in Umatilla county is not
a small one by any means. II
new fry were not planted each
year, there would be loss of
revenue to the railroads.
The expenses of the game de-
partment are met by the sports
men. If the railroads must be
paid for hauling the car that
distributes the fish fry, either
some money must be with
drawn from other departments
or the cost to the sportsmen
increased. Inasmuch as the
railroads profit directly from
the game resources, they
should gladly contribute some
service in maintaining them.
