to seize these shipments on the theory
that tho amount of products being
shipped to Denmark in these neutral
ships is in excess OF quantities re-
ceived prior to the declaration of war.
These neutral countries received large
quantities of these products through
German ports prior to the war and
through other sources Of supply which
the war shut of. That these countries
want more of our products than be-
fore furnished no justification for such
seizure.

representatives of American packing
firms here, as well as those immediate

British Prize Court Action Said
to Be Based on Ameri-
can Precedents.
PACKERS WILL FIGHT
DECISION TO THE LAST
Declared Action Favorable to Them
Would Have Nullified Blockade
of German Ports.

LONDON, September 17-London gen.
orally approves of the decision of the
British prize court, which has ordered
that American cargoes worth several
millions of dollars shall revert to the
crown, and il is declared that the judg
ment of Sir Samuel Evans was largely
influenced by precedents fixed by United
States courts during the civil war. AL
though the British public approves of
the permanent seizure of American car
goes, representatives of American pack
ers most affected by the prize court de-
cision already are making preparations
to contest the ruling.
The Times in an editorial, consider
ing the prize court judgment, whether
measured by the amount of property at
stake or by the consequences, either
national or political. as one which will
be memorable i'll the history OF jurls-
prudence, says:
"The result, if adverse to American
shippers. may be said to be a compli-
ment to American Jurisprudence. as the
judgment was Influenced very much by
the decision of the United States courts
during the civil war, and the preced-
ents most in point were the judgments
of Chief Justice Chase and his col
leagues in regard to British cargoes.
Contentious Rejected.
Fortunately Sir Samuel Evans, in a
careful and able judgment, rejected
contentious which, if adopted, would
have reduced to notification the block
ade of German ports, and saw his way
to arrive at a decision which will main
tain and strengthen the efficacy of our
sea power.
1T may be that In the opinion of in
ternational lawyers he has expanded
somewhat the doctrine of continuous
voyage. His decision is probably the
most advanced point to which that doc
trine has been carried. But he could
not help taking note of the modern
conditions of trade, which have enor-
mously facilitated for the continental
states the importation of contraband.
His decision is in accordance with
the spirit of the authorities of the time
of Lord Stowell and Justice Story. 1t
is only fair and proper, however, to ad-
NIT that the law which he had to eX-
plain and apply is in far from salts
factory state"

Chicago Meat Packers
Will Lose $15,0O0,000
if Order Is Sustained

CHICAGO, September 17-If the con-
fiscation of American meat cargoes or-N
dered in London is upheld on appeal
from the British prize court. Chicago
packers will lose approximately S15,-
100000, at which the shipments were
valued. The packers, however, have
not yet given up the fight.
Attorneys Henry Veeder, C. ]. Faulk-
ner, jr., and II. W. Borcers, represent
ing Swift & Co., Armour & Co. and
Morris & Co, have given out the fol-
lowing joint statement concerning the
decision of the British prize court:
''Englands confiscation of s2.50O,0O0
worth of American meat products as
announced in the brief press dispatches
today, is not justified by the facts or
any principle of international law. II
can only be construed as another
step in England's policy to interfere
with the trade of American citizens
with the citizens of neutral countries.
All these shipments We're destined to
neutral countries, and the ships papers
at the time of their seizure clearly
showed such fact. They were not
destined to or for the enemy of Great
Britain, and upon trial of the case no
evidence showing they were destined
to such enemy of Great Britain was ad-
duced and none could have been. This
makes necessary further presentation
OF stronger protests to the Department
of State for an equitable adjustment
OF the claims.
Compliance With Regulations.
Prior to the time of the seizure of
these shipments every effort was made
10 comply with every regulation and
restriction made by the various orders
in council issued by the government
of Great Britain placed upon such shin
clearly in violation of the principle. of
international law. and concerninn
which orders our State Department
notified the government of Great
Britain that this government would moi
recognize any prize court decision
based upon orders in council or upon
any rules or regulations other th,n
the recognized principles of interna
tional law. Notwithstanding the fact
of compliance with every order issued
by them, whether reasonable or other
wise, American goods were seized ana
taken into English ports and held
there for many months before oppor-
tunity was given to present the claims
in the prize courts.
Seizures Unwarranted.
From the start these seizures have
been arbitrary and unwarranted and
in spite of vigorous protests of our
State Department to the representa-
tives of Great Britain.

patches that the court bases its right

Will Fight Further.

1t is known that the packers, in the
event of losing in the privy council
will turn further appeals into diplo-
matte channels, with an international
commission as a possible court of final
appeal. The packers contend that as
the orders in council of last March
We're not in force when the ships were
seized, the seizures occurring last Oc-
tober, it is not even incumbent upon
them to prove that the cargoes were
not destined for a nation at war with
Great Britain. and they expect this con-
tention would be upheld by an interna
tional tribunal.
