storage or other dues. costs and expenses
in advance of u judicial determination
of the validity OF the seizure of vessel
or cargo.
Instances of such treatment of vessels
may be found in the cases of the detcn-
ton OF the steamer Neches last May,
the Ogeechee. which was seized last
April, and the Antilla, which was seized
in February last and subjected to a
prolonged detention. In the case OF the
last mentioned ship 1t appears, how
ever. that the cost of discharsing was
borne by the British Government.
uO) Detentions of vessels proceeding
from European ports:
The steamer Ogeechee, which left
Bremen April 3 last for the United
States, was detained at Sharpness and
compelled to discharge its entire cargo,
which consisted of approximately 200
shipments Of goods urgently needed by
American citizens. In most II not all
cases 1t appears thar ownership OF these
goods at the time Of the seizure had
passed to American consignees, In
many instances American citizens had
contracted for the sale of the goods
consigned to them and were prevented
from carrying out their contracts,
The release Of shipments on the vessel
had been allowed on the production
of proofs OF American ownership OF
goods prior to March II, 1915, Ameri-
can consignees In order to avoid loss
have e%ndeavored to comply with the re-
Quirements in the presentation OF
proofs.
The steamer Neches. which sailed
from Rotterdam to the United States,
was brought to London and compelled.
in June last, to discharge cargo on
the ground. apparently. that the goods
originated partly In Belgium, Thu vessel
was detained about n month, and after
having been damaged to the extent Of
approximately $500 as a result Of a
collision with another vessel while under
the control Of the British Admiralty, and
after having been involved In litigation
growing out Of such collision, was al
lowed to proceed.

BITS ABOUT THE GARDEN

Too much fertilizer deveiopes a
weak but rapid growth.
Save the tin cans and make holes
in the bottoms; fill with water and
set in the soil at the roots of the
plants. Fill with water once or
twice every day and this will keep
the roots moist.
Carnations and pinks should be
layered early this month and seeds
of early perennials sown for early
blooming next spring. For late bloom
ing in border, sow seeds of calen'
dula, alyssum, portula.ca, gilia, YER
bena, etc.
Always stir the soil about plants
before watering, water in the even
ing and next day rake the soil to
prevent baking. For insects apply
clear water, dashing with a syringe
from different points, wetting both
top and underside Of the foliage.
The grevillia, or silk oak, is as de
corative as a palm, and is readily
grown from seed. Pot the plants
for window garden, and keep growing
thriftily. 1t is always beautiful.

WITH YOUR PEPPER SEEDS

When using green or red sweet
peppers save the seeds, which you
find in large numbers inside the
shell. Dry these on a plate and put
them In wide necked bottle. They
are delicious for giving zest to soups
gravies, sauces, salad dressing and
the like.
