sustained by American shippers OF con-
traband articles in American vessels
although the right lawfully to deta'n
such cargoes and compensate the own
ers at a later date was reserved
There is a question also in the minds
of officials here whether the treaty
would not give American owners the
right to recover damages for the loss
of their goods aboard the vessels OF
Germany's enemies.
Obligated to Remove Passengers.
One of the interesting phases of the
Frye note, however, which was pointed
out by officials as likely to have an I'M
portant bearing on the subject OF SUD
marine attacks on belligerent craft, was
the statement regarding the obligations of
commanders to remove passengers 10

Under the provisions of this treaty
Germany once objected to the enforce
ment of the per cent discount clause IN
which goods carried in American bottoms
were to be given a rebate. Similarly
Germany claimed favored-nation treat
ment in case the reciprocity act with Ca
NADIA had been proclaimed or any other
reciprocity treaties negotiated subse-

Guarantees American Shipping.
Under its provisions some officials
thought the United States could claim
the right to ship contraband OF any
character in it's own vessels to Brit
ish ports. as the treaty guarantees to
the vessels of the United States and
Germany, should either country be
neutral in a war in which the other
is engaged, the right TO navigate
freely to and from the ports and on
the coasts of the belligerent parties.
This also, it Is contended, would pre-
vent the operation of the recently pro
claimed war zone around Great Britain
and Ireland against any American yes
sells, and render Germany fully liable
for damages resulting from any sub
marine attacks on American vessels.

Nine. Mountford Says Misinterpre-

SONS NEW SUIT SAVED
BY FATHERS SHOTGUN
Crandal Mackey, Jr., Held Up at
Gate of Home by Chicken-Steal-
ing Highwaymen.

crandal Mackey. jr.. postmaster of
Rosslyn. Va. was held up last night
by two highwaymen as he was about
to enter the gate of the Mackey home,
near Rosslyn. The men were fright
ened away, however, by Crandal Mac
key. sr. who came running out of the
house with a double barrel shotgun,
and by the postmaster himself, who
fired revolver after them.
The highwaymen, it appeared later,
had attempted to steal sonic of the
Mackey chickens and turned on Gran
dal Mackey. jr. as better game when
he unexpectedly arrived on the scene.
Crandal Mackey, jr., according to
the statement of his father last night
had been in Georgetown where he
purchased a suit of clothes. He was
bringing it home in a suit case. He
had passed safely through the noto-
rious Dead Mans Hollow and was
steering straight for the Mackey home
with a thirty-eight- -caliber revolver in
his hand cleared for action.
Relaxes His Vigilance.
Having passed safely all of the no
torious danger points, young MI
Mackey had reached the easterly gate
of the Mackey home, which gate is
about fifty yards from the chicken
house. and had relaxed his vigilant
watch through the dark when he was
given "a thump i'll the back and Il hand
began closing. around his throat. A'
this moment another figure sill
houetted in the darkness blazed away
with a revolver of some description,
but not before young Mr.. MackeE mao
gurgled Hey there" as the mana
tiShtened on his throat.
The shot brought the Rosslyn house,
holders on their front porches. and
Crandall Mackey. sr.. ran to his bed
room, procured a double barreled shot
gun loaded with buckshot, which, he
said, he always keeps there. and pro-
ceeded in the direction from Whlch the
shot came. But when the Would-be
highwaymen saw the lights gllmmer
as the house doors in the nelghoorhooa
began to open, and saw the resiaen's
turning out, they departed hastilS tot
unknown parts, each IN an opposile
direction leaving only as a clue nm

Winter Manuring.

[Alvin Keyser. Colorado station.l
The question frequently arises.
SHOULD manure be spread thinly over
the land in winter when it is hauled or
should it be dumped in piles to be scat
tered in the spring." The answer to
the question is largely one Of location.
In a great deal of western territory
the winters are dry. with dry. very
windy springs. Where such conditions
normally prevail scattering manure
broadcast on the land during the win
ter means that the manure will dry out
and frequently be blown away by the
first heavy spring windstOrm.

standpoint of saving the manure II

CARE OF ORCHARDS.

Valuable work in the control of or
chard insect pests may be accomplish

stronger washes may be used than
when the trees are in foliage. Many
insects of the orchard spend the win

ENROLMENT SHOWS
STATES PROSPERITY

No better index to the economic
conditions in the state can be found
than in the attendance at the higher
educational institutions. A decrease
in enrolment invariably accompan-
les periods of financial depression.
The reason is obvious. Many stu
dents are dependent upon their own
resources and must necessarily earn
what they can during the sumner
months to carry them through the
college year. Parents, too, are con-
stantly influenced by economic con-
ditions and when business is below
normal, many are unable to give
the needed financial aid to sons and
daughters who may wish to attend
college.
1t is therefore significant that the
University of Montana is one of the
few state universities in the Union
which this year is enjoying an in
crease in enrolment. Reports from
the east, the west and from the
south, show that the majority of the
higher schools have this year expert
enced decrease in attendance.
-Four hundred ninety-twO stu
dents are now enrolled at the Uni
versity of Montana. This is 100
more than were registered at this
time last year. This number in
cludes only those who are attending
classes every day and does not in
clude short-course students, cores
pondence study students or those
undergraduates who are not in resi-
dence at Missoula.
No better proof of the prosperity
evident in Montana today can be
found than in the increase in enroll
ment at the university.

COUNTY JOURNALISM BETTER.

"The young man who contem-
plates a newspaper career and de-
cides to remain in Montana to enter
the rural field is much wiser than
the youth who breaks ties and hur-
ries away to New York City to enter
metropolitan journalism
Such is the opinion of Mark Sulli-
van, editor of Golfers Weekly, who
was a Missoula visitor this week.
Mr.. Sullivan accompanied by Men,
dill Mccormick of the Chicago Tri-
bune, are in the Montana Clear
water country, IS miles northeast
of Missoula, on an elk hunting trip.
1T is strange that so many young
men fail to appreciate the opportu-
mites in country newspaper work, {"
said Mr.. Sullivan. 81 know of no
man whose position l regard with
greater esteem or whose influence
can be used to a greater good, than
that of the country editor. His life
is a life of service and if successful,
must necessarily be a happy one.
Getty journalism has it's advant-
ages, of course, but the field is
crowded and the pace which is set
is a rapid one. l would urge the
young men of this state who intend
to prepare themselves for news
paper work to cherish the ambition
of becoming editors of their own
newspapers right here in Montana.
1t is the wisest course"
Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. Mccormick
will return to Missoula about Oct.
IL, and will Immediately go to
Spokane and Portland enroute to
San Francisco.
