IARMY MAN MUST TELL

Garrison Orders Explanation from
Capt. Mitchell-Brother Officers
Support His Statements.

Secretary of War Garrison NcSter-
day instructed Brig. Gen. Scott. Chief
of Staff of the army. to call upon
Capt. William Mitchell. of the genera
staff. to explain statements made be-
fore the Washington Society of En-
gineerS at the Cosmos Club Tuesday
might concerning United States I'M
preparedness for war.
Capt. Mitchells statements were
published exclusively in The Herald
yesterday morning and created wide
spread comment in military circles
ment that it would take the United
army of 1000. 900 trained and equip
ped men in the field. and that In that
time any one of four or five other
nations could capture and hold the
Atlantic seaboard is recognized as n
well -esta blished fact among military
men.
Capt. Mitchell. it is stated. believed
he was discussing we'll known facts
before a closed meeting in a private
club, and his friends say he had no
idea his remarks would be published.
In fact. it is said Capt. Mitchell felt as
though he was talking in private to a
number of personal friends in address
ing the Engineer Society and the idea
that he was violating military cti-
Quette probably did not occur to him.
The Herald received an invitation to
have a representative at the meeting
and the reporter who quoted Capt
Mitchell believed the meeting was pub

in the enemy territory. In the peculiar
circumstances of the present struggle,
where the forces of the enemy COM
prise so large a portion of the popula-
ton. and where there is so little evil
tinguished from government account.
it is most reasonable that the burden
of proof should rest upon the claim
ant.
The most difficult questions in con-
neCtion with conditional contra band
arise with reference to the shipment
of fOodstuffs. No country has main
tanned more stoutly than Great Britain
in modern times the principle that a
belligerent should abstain from inter
ference with the foodstuffs intended
for the civil population. The circum-
stances of the present struggle are
causing his majesty's government some
anxiety as to whether the existing
rules with regard to conditional con-
ira band. framed as they were with the
object of protecting 50 far as possible
the supplies which were intended for
the civil population. are effective for
the purpose, or suitable to the condi-
tfonS present. The principle which l
have indicated above is one which his
maiesty's government have constantly
had to uphold against the opposition
of continental powers. In the absence
of some certainty that the rule would
be respected by both parties to this
conflict. we feel great doubt whether il

il is there stated that a number of
American cargOeS have been seized

not specify any particular seizures as

"ReIy on British Courts.


1T is the common experience OF every
war that neutrals whose attempts to en-
by belligerent are wont to have re-
diplomatic remonstranC"s should he made
on their behalf and that redress should
be obtained for them in this way. When
an effective mode OF redress is open 10
them in the courts of a civilized country
by which they can obtain adequate sat
isfaction for any invasion OF their rights
which is contrary to the law of nations.
the only course which is consistent with
sound principle is that they should be
referred to that mode OF redress. and
that no diplomatic action should be taken
until their legal remedies have been eN-
hausted. and they are in a position to
show prima facic denial Of justice.
THE course adopted by his majestys
government during the American civil
was in strict accordance with this
principle. In spite of remonstrauccs from
many quarters. they placed full reliance
on the American prize courts to grant
redress TO the parties interested in cases
Of alleged wrongful capture by American
ships of war. and put forward no claims
until the opportunities for redress in
those courts had been exhausted. The
same course was adopted in the Spanish
American war. when all British subjects
who complained of captures or deten-
tons of their ships were referred to the
prize courts for relief.
particular attention is directed in
your eXcellency's note to the policy we
