The Dacia Case
lcoNTINUED FROM PAGE oNE1

a formal statement issued by the Brit
Iish embassy at Washington.
The British government for the first
time uses the word Capture" with
reference to disputed cases. Hereto
fore the embassy has been at some
pains to explain that vessels have been
merely detained"
The embassy statement leaves no
room for doubt that the British gov
ernment challenges the validity Of the
Dacia's American registration and that
the ship will be captured. The en-
bassy statement follows:
"In connection with the transfer Of
the Dacia from the German to the
American flag, the British govern
ment, while anxious to avoid causing
loss to the shippers of her cargo, have
found it impossible to agree that the
transfer in the circumstances in which
i il has been effected, is valid in ac
cordance with the accepted principles
of international law. If, therefore,
the Dacia should proceed to sea and
should be captured the British govern
ment will find themselves obliged ia
bring the ship (apart from the cargo)
before the prize court
ut is stated that the cargo of The
Dacia is to consist solely of cotton
owned by American citizens. If this
is so and if the vessel should be cap
tured, the British government will
guarantee either to purchase the car
go at the price which would have
/ been realized by the shippers if the
cargo had reached its foreign desti-
nation, or, if preferred, they will un-
dertake to forward the cotton to Rot
terdam without further expense to the
shippers
The treasury department today is
sued war risk insurance on the car
go of cotton on the Dacia. No in
surance was obtainable from the gov
ernment on the hull of the vessel

average of So on a bale of cotton.
Mr.. Kempner said.
at may surprise some of you to
know that the highest freight rates
for any service are now demanded by
owners of American vessels" said
Mr.. Kempner, "and it is by no means
unusual for some shipowners to de
mand for the hire of vessel worth
100000 a rental Of $4,000 per
month.
"Whether the solution of our diff
ficulties lies in a government owned
merchant marine, l am not prepared
to say, but | am prepared to affirm
that the lessons of commerce in this
war teach US that in times of peace
every advantage should be given to
vessels flying the American flag"

decline of 2 cents a dozen in the price
Of fresh local ranch case count eggs

Chicago, Jan. 22.-According to a
cable received on the Board of Trade
yesterday, Germany is to make large
purchases of corn in the United States
and Argentina The German empire
is said to be financing an organiza
tion already effected, and, as it is to
meet the requirements of the hold
ers of the yellow cereal in this coun
try, there will be no trouble in buy
ing the grain, as the supplies Of corn
are the largest ever held in the Chi
cago market or in the visible supply
of the United States.
In the minds of some of the more
conservative men in the grain trade
here, there will be difficulty in land
ing safely grain bought here for ship
ment to Germany. 1t was believed III
some circles that because of the small
supply of breadstuffs now reported in
the German empire that the navy Of
that country will attempt to open a
sea lane through which to take food
stuffs in circuitous route.

New York, Jan. 22.-Investors tool
the bit in their teeth today and rar
away with quotations in broadening

more effect than teaspoonful OF
water on dry sponge.

held of the railroad issues, gained
IL; Union Pacific rose more than a
point, and Great Northern preferred
