today, rendered a decision. declaring that
counties Of the State, and not their court

some time ago by the Common Pleas
Court of Schuyllsill County
, The decision is the result Of test case
instituted by john w Reese, Prothono-
tary of the Common Pleas Court of
Schuylkill County The amount of fees
involved in this particular case was $2S23
representing half of the total fees col
lected by Reese. The other half he
turned over, as provided by the act of
Congress, to the Bureau of immigration

Says German Idea That They Terribly
Nations Is Mistake.

Nations Is Mistake.
London, May 12.-"In International law
has been within the last ten months
more completely disregarded, cast
down and trampled under foot than /
think it ever was within the last four
or five centuries" said Viscount
Bryce, former British ambassador at
Washington, on presiding at a lecture
on international law here.
Apart from the cruelties to the in
nocent population of Belgium, which
has been subjected to worse treat
ment than that which befell com
batants," he continued, "ships not en-
gagged in warlike operations have
been sunk suddenly and their crews
drowned
"The technical legal description of
pirates was that they were enemies
of the human race They are every.
body's enemies alike. They are wild
beasts on sea and a danger not to one
particular nation, but to all mankind
and neutrals will be just as much I'll.
timately involved as are the nations
at war"
Viscount Vryce added that the Ger.
man idea that they terrify nations
was another of the numerous mis-.
takes the Germans had made.
