NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-The five Ameri-
can athletes who made a successful tour on
track and field In Sweden last month
were not among the passengers on the
steamship KristianiafJord. Of the Norwe-
gian American Line. which has arrived
here. The athletes are James "Ted" Mer-
edith. Andy Ward, Joe Loomls, Fred Muir
ray and Robert Simpson.
Fred Ruben, of the Amateur Athletic
Union, arranged for the athletes to return
home on the Kristianlafjord. The steam
ship officials said the athletes were not
listed and could not account for their fall

over their absence and has sent a cable

The State line also looked good. The

| .atest Order-in-COunCil
Doesn't Change Blockade

Washington, July s.-Examination OF
the new British order-in-council at the
State Department to-day failed TO re-
veal any marked change in the pro-
cedure followed since the beginning OF
the war by the Allies in dealing with
neutral commerce.
There is apparently no such wide OK
tension of the existing blockade as has
been threatened. Many practices
against which the United States has
vigorously protested, however, are spe-
cifcally reauthorized. In a sense the
order may be regarded as an advance
answer to the reply now being pre-
pared at the State Department TO the
long British memorandum on neutral
trade restrictions.
Officials believe the new order, aban-
doning completely the Declaration Of
London. is an endeavor 10 put on a
legal basis the more or less irregular
measures adopted TO stop commerce
with enemy countries. The recent de-
cision of the British courts in the case
OF the steamship Zamora threatened TO
settle all proceedings under the old
orders.
Greatest Importance is attached 20
the presumption Of enemy destination
Of cargoes Of contraband. which the
United States has contended is against
the belligerent power seeking to con-
fscate.
The principle Of continuous voyage,
adopted in the British order as warrant
for the seizure of cargoes destined for
a belligerent from a neutral through
an intermediate neutral port, has been
discussed by London and Washington,
so far without agreement.
Another issue which may now be set
tied is the asserted right Of belliger-
ent TO capture and confiscate blockade
runner after the completion Of her
cruise. The United States has never
recognized this principle.
Assertion of the right 10 confscate a
cargo more than half Of which is con-
traband also is in dispute.

on the brink Of rupture, and no rup-
ture had come. There had been a
score Of opportunities, had any power
wished 10 make any. Germany seemed
TO be with us for peace.
Optimism in England.
A wave of optimism passed over the
mind of the British government and
the House of Commons. Although
abroad the increase in armaments was
proceeding with constant acceleration,
and although a capital tax of $780,
100000 had been levied by Germany and
the alarm bell was ringing for those
who had ears 10 hear, the struggle TO
obtain the necessary supplies for the
British feet was never more prolonged
or more severe than in the early
months Of 1914. II also seemed that
the prospect of personal good will and
respect which had grown up between
the principal peoples on both sides was
playing a useful part In the future,
and some looked forward 10 a wider
combination in which Great Britain and
Germany, without prejudice and ire
spective Of friendships and alliances,
might bring together two opposing
ious nations solid assurances of safety
and fair play. Care, however. still
was taken Of the fleets and they lacked
little that money could buy.
German ministers, no doubt, were
sincerely anxious TO be friends with
England; it was their interest and
their inclination. More, It was accord
ing TO their instructions, for, in truth,
policy was behind policy.
Deep Purposes of Germany.
Deep purposes Of the German nation
underlay the German Foreign Office.
The soul Of Germany was surrendered
10 the General staff. Somewhere in
that immense organism after the
Agadir incident an intention had been
formed TO keep England out Of it,"
and diplomatic persons methods had
been chosen and directed 10 that end.
And somewhere, too, in what we have
learned 10 know so well as main head
quarters trained elligences were
peering at each other over intermina-
Bile ledgers and calculations, ready to
say: "Alls ready: the hour has come:
move all that the highest will gra-
ciously consent to-
Early in July. for the first time in
some years, a British battle squadron
visited Kiel for famous regatta. The
finest ships of two navies lay side by
side. surrounded by liners. yachts and
pleasure craft of every kind. Undue
curiosity regarding technical mat
ters was banned by mutual agreement.
There were races. banquets and
speeches. There was sunshine, and
there was the Emperor. The officers
and the men fraternized and enter
tanned each other afoat and ashore.
Together they strolled arm in arm
through the hospital or the town or
dned with all good will at mess in the
wardroom. Together they stood bare
headed at the funeral Of German Of
ficer who was killed flying in an Eng
lish seaplane.
The sinister hypothesis seemed very
far away. yet il was now 70 leap into
reality. The great ships parted with
all the pomp Of a naval salutation;
they were met again amid the mists of
the North Sea. matched in quarrel
which cannot end until the terrible
Judgment has been decreed.
