The Remarkable Growth OF the
Hyde Park Savings Bank.

The fact that the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank is the largest bank in any
country village in the world has come
to be the subject of much comment
on the part of bank managers, not
only in Vermont, but in many Of the
other states of the Union.
"Can it be true?" and If so, show
can it be accounted for?" are the
questions most often raised by those
most interested in Savings Banks.
AS to the first queston-"Can it be
?"-the best answer perhaps is a
statement taken from the official re-
cords which disclose that the number
of depositos and the amount of de-
posts by five year periods since the
organization of the bank in 1889 are
aE f0ll0nc.

London. March 1G 7:10 p. MI
What is assumed to be the attitude
of the German government respect
ing liability for neutral goodson Brit
ish vessels sunk by German subma-
rines Is set forth in an article IN the
Cologne Gazette as telegraphed from
Amsterdam by the correspondent ol
Reuters Telegram company The ar
ticle deals with the rejection by the
prize court at Hamburg of claim Tor
compensation made by the owner OF
neutral goods on a British ship bound
for Norward which was sunk by a
submarine. q.
THE decision of the prize court .
saws the Cologne Gazette, 'ls paseu
on the view that according to the Ger
man prize law, no compensation can
be claimed for innocent neutral goods
on board destroyed enemy vessels
The question is not settled in inter-
national treaties nor even in the Dec
laration of London. There IS there
fore nothing requiring Germany-es-
pecially in view of the fact that owing
20 her geographical position in the ma
val war it is impossible to bring the
enemy's ships into a German prize
court-to pay compensation in such
circumstances.
Were il otherwise, before SINKING
any ship the commander OF German

prehensions lest the damage he was
doing to the enemy by sinking the snip

With much interest the official text
was awaited of the reply from Great
Britain to the war zone and food

ance of practically al the American
suggestions had raised the expecta-
tons Of officials that the allies might
DO likewise, The United States gov
eminent had undertaken to guarantee
that the foodstuffs would be distrib-
uted only to the civilian population of
Germany through the supervision of
authorized American organizations.
While the British order in council
explains some OF the points made in
the note of inquiry from the United
States concerning prohibitions of
commercial intercourse between Cor
many and the United States, the fact
that an additional memorandum, not
yet received here, had been given to
Ambassador Page, left the hope that
dyestuffs would be exempted from
the prohibitions as requested in the
American note and that further de-
tails as to shipments of cotton would
be furnished.
Officials said that no steps would
be taken until the orders provisions
had been studied carefully, but it was
pointed out that the effect on Ameri-
can commerce wa star reaching and
that there was no precedent for Great
Britan's action.
summed up, officials interpreted
the British order as meaning that
without enforcing a blockade on the
German coast itself but by stopping
American ships anywhere on the high
seas. cargoes destined FOR Germany
would be taken into prize courts for
interminable litigation.
This would particularly affect the
shipment of cotton anC other articles
hitherto listed as non-contraband and
would prevent also the Importation
of dyestuffs from Germany, so neces-
sary for American industries.
Perhaps more displeasing TO otfic-
ials thar any other part of the Brit
ish order, however, was its prohlbi-
tions i'm American commerce con-
signed to neutral countries and sus-
pected Of enemy destination. II is
on this point that the United States
has engaged in volumnious CORE
spondence ever since the outbreak Of
hostilities. It constitutes the chief
ground on which the United States
will insist on the freedom of its COM
merce from undue interference.
Officials were undecided as to the
details of the course that would be
pursued by the United states, but It
was thought in some quarters the best
policy for the present would be to
wait an enforcement of the British
order in specific cases. making each
one of these the basis for vigorous
protest.

Washington, March lG.--President
Wilson indicated to callers today that
a strong protest would be made by the
United states government against the
action Of Great Britain and her allies
in subjecting neutral commerce to
the numerous restrictions imposed on
it by the British order in council just
issued
Senator Walsh Of Montana, an au-
thorlty on international law and one
of the administration spokesmen in
defense of the legal side of the ship
purchase bill. talked at length with
the president tonight about the sit
uation. He had come 10 the White
House on another subject but found
the situation produced by the com
mercial blockade uppermost in the
presidents mind
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1915-03-17
Rcgrcts Lack Of Power.

As he left the White House, Sena-
tor Walsh said the British action had
no precedent in law or history and
that an unusually vigorous protest
should be made against 1t. He spoke
of the general regret among senators
now that before the last congress ad-
iourned, power had not been given to
the president TO declare embargoes on
exports from the United States to the
belligerents He added, however, he
had no idea that the president would
call an extra session for that pur-
pose.
Officials who studied the British or
der in council in the text as transmit
ted by Ambassador Page and the Brit
sh embassy found difficulties in i
from the version in the cable dis
patches, but would not indicate
whether they We're of an important
character. Their dspleasure at the
contents Of the order was evident and
they made no effort to conceal their
disappointment at its failure to give
American commerce relief from inter-
ference while in transit to neutral
countries.

Why No Formal Blockade.

1t is believed an explanation is Civ
en- why formal blockade was not in
stituted. Great Britain is believed to
have pointed out that to have done so
would require confiscation Of all car
goes whereas under the present dec
laration the cargoes are sold and the
exporters reimbursed.
The activity Of submarines has
made the maintenance of an effective
blockade near the German coast a
hazardous performance, and officials
regard the order in council as extend
ing the operations Of the blockade to
any point on the high seas. IT was
because Of this, it is believed here,
that Great Britain thought it eXpedi-
ent to conccde point ON the right Of
absolute confiscation which prevails
under an effective blockade,

CarefnI as to Precedent.

It is expected that before the Amer
lean government sends its next com
muncation on the subject to the al
lies, navy officers versed in interna-
tional law will be consulted because
Of the possible effects of protests by
the United States at this time on the
operations Of the American fleet in
case of a future war.
High officials who read the various
notes and the order in council eX-
pressed no formal opinion. That the
United States obtained little satisfac-
ton from its previous protests was
agreed in official quarters and the
practical futility Of further protest
was admitted, unless measures Of re-
taliation are to accompany it.
