c0otiHnrd Tho case until the next

Til" thing which most clearly
condemns British action in this
case is the fac" that the Wilhel-
nina cleared from New York for
G'r;n my, with a non contraband
cargo, weeks before thu Britt h
Ord r in C,u Isl, which. by it's
oWn express terms, is not to be
COZ sidered operative As against
any clearance previous. 0 9TH of

on she 10Th Of NJ ,rch, insisted
upon a hearing, the vessel had
then been impounded in Fal,
month Harbor nearly six weeks.
According to the terms of the
British order, fairly interpreted
and squarely applied in this case,
the Wilhelmina should be releas-
ed and permitted to proceed to
points of destination as a ship
not carrying cCntraband, and not
coming within the time limit of
the declaration of that form of
blockade which the allies have
since made. Even after waving
this point and accepting naval
might as the arbiter of neutral
right IN time of war, we are still
in position to say that abstract
justice. entirely apart from all
considerations of blockade, would
decree a speedy hearing, to re-
suit either in remuneration of
the owners and consigners, or
in the release Of their property
and the permission to return it
to the port of departure. Such
riding of neutral rights in
British courts as we'll as British
seas can only increase that re-
action in the opinion of this coun-
try. which some Eastern Journ.
ais are already deploring. Globe
