the proposed orders has been pointed
: OIL 18th the intimation that the block
aue, white accomplishing the same
purpose would have more warrant II
International law and usage than the
orders in council"
however, while the orders in coun
cil'' have been burden upon Ameri'
can commerce as well as that OF other
neutral countries, cargoes of ships
held up under them have not been
confiscated. That will be the case
with attempts to evade an actual
blockade. England will find plenty of
legal warrant for the proposed block
ade in the course of the United States
during the war between the states.
1t is pretty well settled under interna-
tional law that England will have
the right to enforce blockade of Ger
many and to coniscate the property
Of neutrals, which try to break the
blockade.
The leading case, in which the
rights of neutrals is discussed, is the
celebrated case of The Peterhof, de-
cided by the supreme court of the
United States in 1866 and reported in
5 Wallace %. In this case the high.
est court of the land decided that
while goods bound from Europe to
Mexico, which were destined to be
taken from Mexico to the Southern
Confederacy, were not subject to con-
6scation, as violating the blockade,
nevertheless such Of the goods az were
contraband Of war we're subject to !
confscation as contraband. Also that
innocent goods in the same cargo were
subject to confscation as contraband
II they were owned by the owner Of
the contraband goods, because the
contraband articles "contaminate the
whole cargo belonging to the same
owners"
Under the holding in this case goods
shipped from the United States in
neutral vessel to some neutral port In
europe. but destined TO 90 from that
port to Berlin by rail, would not be
subject to contiscation for attempting
70 break the blockade, but suca gsods
IN the cargo as were cOntraDand OF
war would be subject to conAscation
he such ana any kHAocent gUeds WOaia
likewise, under the conditions men,
toned above, be subjected to c6nfsca-
ton. The only question that can
arise between this country and Eng
land touching the legality Of the pro-
posed blockade is whether the vessel
and cargo are breaking the blockade
If they go from neutral port to neutral
port, but the ultimate destination OF
the goods is to a belligerent by inland
transit from the neutral port Of arrival.
Some authorities answer this inquiry
in the affirmative, although, as cited
above, the leading case in this coun-
tyE that of The Peterhoff, makes an
swer IN the negative. It is upon this
me AeiHt that there is likely to be
eng diplomatic discussion between
'Ae two countries.
With the record that it made in the
sixties, the replies that were sent then
70 protesting neutrals, the government
n the United States is pretty effec-
snally estopped from controverting the
principle of the blockade except upon
he one point stated.

Copenhagen, Dec. 2S.-Denmark

Foodstuffs and fuel are becoming
scarce and the government has beer

Rye bread, the usual bread of the
country, has since December J., beer

will soon be raised to 20 per cent.

THE PARKING OF VEHICLES.

II has only been in recent yearl
that attention has been given the
parking of automobiles and other
vehicles in towns and cities. Tho
old.fashioned way was to come t1
town and drive your rig or auto at
or near the side of the street without
much regard as to how much room
you were substracting from the width
of the street.
There has been d onstant improve
ment in recent years. The man who
takes up unnecessary room with his
vehicle is Irowned down as NUS
ance, and is soon instructed how to
improve his manners.
Besides, it's an evidence of inherent
sClfishness. A man who by nature
has "a regard for the rights of others
would not utilize his property in :,
way to inconvenience others; nor
would he impair the orderly appear ,

merly employed as scout by the Cleve-
land club. and now precedent OF the
Atlanta club, for s1,629. Attorneys
representing Frank denied the 1urls-
diction of the commission in the case,
ewing to the debt being of a personal
nature. The attorneys also clalii,
that Frank admits having contracted
the debt. but that he had compromise
| It for lesser amount than accorded

commission ruled, however, that Il
was justified in assuming jurisdlcaon

parties if one or both were identified

The majority opinion then holds

CAUSE OF HIGH
COST OF Living
This Is the Opinion of S. w.
Straus as Expressed to
School Principals.

Syracuse, N. Y, Dec. 29-"The
thriftlessness of the American people
| is, to great extent. responsible fol
the present high cost of living" &C
eording to S. w. Straus, president Of
the American Society for Thrift, who
today addressed the Associated AGA
demic Principals of the State OF New
York at their annual meeting.
Here in America we are not in dan
ger because of the high cost of living.
said Straus, "but we are in danger
| from the fundamental conditions thai
have made the cost of living high. Ar
economic condition which sends food
to price level almost equal to that
which existed at the time of the civil
war is condition which cannot be
viewed with nonchalance. | cannot
state with too much solemnity the fact
that the American people must under
go Il complete reformation on the sub
ject of personal economics.
Let us go down the streets of this
city today and ask the grocer, the
baker, and the butcher the prices of
the commodities they sell. We all
NnOW pTclty We'll WildI tEc ttloWcl
will be. We all know that never be-
fore in the times of peace in America
have the prices of staple products
been as high as they are today. Why?
Lack of thrift. This is the age of
tEriftlessness. The world has gone
mad with it. The waste of lives. prop
erty. and energy across the waters is
digious-unprecede AS this
war goes on, all humanity will have
[ to pay the billiard not only are we
paying the bill here in America today
hut we are going to continue paying
it for years and years. We are not
responsible for the war. thank God
but we are helping to pay for it just
the same.
In America we are wasting $4,000
600 year. just in the careless hand
ling of eggs, $50o0OO,0OO in soil ero-
sion, $2$S, 100000 is loss thru flood
and freshets. We are letting $780,
100000 worth of energy go to waste
ANNUALLY because we do not utilize oul
water power: $659,000,000 in losses tc
crops by insects which could be large
ly prevented by more careful method:
of agriculture, We waste $4,000 ,00C
in loss of livestock due TO preventibls
diseases, and s10000O,O0G more be-
cause of depredatory mammals. Ii
addition to this we might count the
millions and millions of dollars tina,
are wasted through personal eAtrav,
agances
so you will sec that America is
paving an obligation to thriftlessness
that is beyond the ability of the human
mind to comprehend. Is it farfetchet
then to say that we must begin teach
ing thrift in the public schools? This
IS duty we owe posterity.
| Thrift does not mean simply savin;
money and putting it in a bank
Thrift is an attribute Of character
not an adjunct OF the pocketbook. w,
all know that BENJAMIN Franklin wa,
a thrifty man, but we do not know
what amount Of money he had on de
post in the Philadelphia banks in hi
Gay. 1t is as essential that one b,
thrifty of time. thrifty of health. an,
thrifty in all personal habits as to b,
thrifty IN point of money believ,
within the next ilve years thrift will
be taught in the public and private
schools of America"
