Decides to Release SO
Teutons Seized on
American Steamer.
WILL NOT ADMIT
PRINCIPLE WRONG
Contends Enemy Subjects Have
No Right to Protection on
Neutral Ships.

London, May 5.-The British govern
ment has decided to release the thirty
eight Germans and Austrians who were
taken from the American steamship
China, and will issue such orders at
once.
This action was not unexpected, as
il was known that the last American
demand declined 20 admit any form Of
legality in the reasons given by tho
Foreign Office for the detention Of tho
passengers.
The formal document in reply to the
final American note on the subject is
not yet ready, but, according to Lord
Robert Cecil, Minister of War Trade,
il will pc carefully framed so as not to
admit the general right of belligerents
to enjoy the protection OF a neutral
flag. In the present case Great Britain
admits itself in the wrong in regard
70 the facts outlined in the American
remonstrance, but the reply will be
oouched in such terms that no general
precedent is established. and British
doctrines in regard to the seizures OF
individuals Of hostile nationality on
neutral ships will be safeguarded.
The State Department az Washington
has contended that the facts in the
case are similar TO those Of the famous
Trent affair. but while il is not known
what attitude the British reply will
adopt toward this argument. Lord Rob-
ert Cecil gives it as his personal opin.
ion that the two cases present vide
differences.
Germans and Austrisns were re.
moved from the China by the British
auxiliary cruiser Lsurentic on Febru-
airy 10 while the China was on h-r way
from Shanghai to San Francisco. The
United States requested Great Britain
70 release these men. and, being mee
with a declination. sent a second note.
I The attention Of the British authorities
was called TO the fact that the Ger.
mans and Austrians, who were on ths
way to Manila. would have been COM
PEELED 10 transship az Nagasasi. where
England's ally. Janan. could have de.
tanned them. and that, therefore, their
seizure from the China was unneces-
sary. The British authorities charged
that the thirty-eight men were con-
cerned in a plot for a revolution in
India.

London Considers Aban-
doning Several Early
Orders-in-COunciI.
DUE TO DECISIONS
OF PRIZE COURTS
Dutch Steamer AlWina, Seized
with Coal Cargo, Ordered
Restored to Owners.

London, May 5.-As a result Of the
decision in the case of the Swedish
steamer Zamora. Lord Robert Cecil,
Minister OF War Trade, announces tat
his and other departments concerned
with the administration of blockade
measures are considering the possibil-
ity Of being compelled to readjust va
rious orders in council to make them
correspond with the doctrine set forth
by the judicial committee of the Privy
Council.
Lord Robert hints that it may be
necessary TO abandon several earlier
orders under which many seizures we're
made.
The Zamora's cargo OF copper was
held for the prize court last June. and
was later requistloned nv the British
government. The president of the
prize court granted the right Of appeal
to the owners Of the copper. The ju-
dicial committee Of the Privy Council
also granted the appeal and reversed
the decision of the prize court in hold
ing the cargo.

Dutch Steamer Restored.

The prize court ordered to-day the
restoration TO its owners OF the Dutch
steamer Alwina, condemnation OF which
was asked for by the crown on the
ground that when she was seized at Fall
mouth she was returning from supply
ing. or attempting to supply, coal to Ger
man cruisers in the Pacific. The Alwina
left a Welsh port with coal and went
to Teneriffe, and after the battle be-
tween the British and German fleets
off the Falkland Islands she disposed
of her cargo TO a British firm.
The court rules that, while the Al
wilma had been carrying contraband and
had false papers, the fact remained
that her cargo had never been deliv-
cred to the enemy. This being the
case. the vessel was free from LA
bility.
The Alwina is Of Lis gross tons and
is owned IN Rotterdam. No previous
report of her detention has been re-
ceived.

Death Of. DR.. William E. Prescott.

Dr. William E. Prescott died at
his home 10 miles west Of Edgefeld
Monday afternoon. The announce
ment of his death was not unex-
pected, as he has been gradually
nearing the end for the past week.
More than year ago he became
victim Of stomach trouble of a
malignant form and underwent an
operation in Augusta in April,
1915. For time it appeared that
he would regain his health, but sey-
eral months ago the former trouble
re-asserted itself and second ope-
ration became necessary. Ills
strength was too far spent for the
second operation to afford even
temporary relief. Since returning
to his home from the hospital in
Augusta about a fortnight ago, DIR,
Prescott has been steadily declining,
his friends and loved ones being
prepared for the end.
During his entire life Of &c years
Dl. Prescott has been one of the
most prominent and most infuen-
tial citizens of the county. He
graduated in medicine in early
manhood and practiced his profess
sion for several years but gave it up
in order to devote his entire time to
his large farming interests. He
moved to Edgeield in 1889 and
was one of the founders of the oil
mill at this place, deyoting several
years to the management of this
enterprise, the first of the kind
in this section of the State. Find.
ing that his large agricultural in
terests were suffering on account of
his absence, he moved his family
back to his country home. For
many years he also conducted a
large mercantile businessat his home.
In his community life DR.. Pres
colt was above his fellows and was
regarded as tower of strength. lie
was generous and public spirited to
the extent that he bore more than
his share of every burden. In him
the sick and poor and needy found
faithful friend, being generous to a
fault. He was one of the pillars of
Red Hill church, of which be was
member from early life.
The funeral @as>conducted at the
home Tuesday morning at ii
o'clock by Rev. j. T. Littlejohn.
Hundreds of people from adjacent
communities attended the funeral,
their presence expressing the es-
TEEN and affection which they en-
tertained for the departed friend.
