ship was indicted for some petty
crime in the old corntv court
which was presided over by
three justices of the peace, and
who appeared at the bar of the
court having two of those old

around his neck. The chairman
of court observed them and di.

"The defendant having come

into the hip pockets of his pants,
as others had done successfully.
From one examiner to another

Hope More to Defer Than
Avoid Ultimate Hostilities.


Copenhagen, Feb. 1O.-Via
London, Feb. Little hope or
expectation pervails in Berlin
that war with the United States
is avoidable, or that a modus
vivendi reconciling the policies
of the two Governments can be
found.
There now is a desire on the
part of the authorities and a
vast bulk Of the people to
avoid actual hostilities in any
way consistent with the general
lines of the present submarine
policy, but only in such a way.
Accordingly, instructions were
given, so the Associated Press
has been reliably informed, to
submarine commanders before
they started on their February
mission, to take the safe side
when neutral vessels, particu-
larly American, were in
question, whenever possible.
Enemy merchantmen, when
recognized as such, were or
dered to be sunk at sight, but
neutral merchantmen were to
be warned when such action,
in their judgement, was con-
sistent with the object of the
campaign and the safety of their
own ships.
1t is realized, however, that
after the prompt and resolute
stand taken by President Wilson
these orders could only be
palliative and only defer, not
avoid. and ultimate break. AL
so, that if President Wilson
stood by his announcement that
the destruction of American
lives or ships would be regarded
Gs an act of hostility, as casus
belli must come sooner on &C
count of the number of Ameri.
cans on enemy ships. More
over, there was the discretion
