session of the prize court, according to
an announcement by the foreign Of
flee. Securities have not yet been de-
clared absolute contra band. but it is pos
sible that they will soon be placed on the

will be continued on the ground that
under the orders in council these secu-
rites establish credit for hostile bel

held up.
The authorities here declare that in
nocent ownership can be easily proved
by reference to the banks which hold
any of the detained securities. and that
therefore nothing in the nature of a

its present worth. If every one would
send only a small amount-say %
