vented from sailing from New York,
or having sailed. are now tied up, Mt
Halifax for examination. According
to figures compiled here to-day these
ships had they sailed as scheduled,
would have taken from this port. 296,-
600 tons Of cargo. Fourteen OF the
vessels would have carried passengers
and United States mails.
Tho heaviest sufferer has been Hol-
land with 2s ships held up Ten
freight ships of neutral nations, classed
as tramps, also are held here awaiting
orders to sail.
The American line. which now has
its entire fleet OF six passenger ships
in port. has missed eight sailing dates
and all passenger traffic to Europe
other than that carried by vessels OF
tho entente allies and Spain has becn
suspended.
The number Of ships of the entente
allies departing from New York dur
ting the period from February 1 to
March is shown by port records to
he 20 ships less than sailed between
December 20 and January 81.

by prize crew from the German raider

order is final.
The decision, written by Justice Day.
affirms DEGREES by Federal Judge WaddiIl
of Virginia, and upholds the original
ruling by Secretary Lansing that prizes
panied by captor warships have the right
to remain only long enough to make
themselves seaworthy.
American neutrality was violated In
bringing the Appam into Hampton Roads
the court says. and neither the ancient
treaties relied upon by Lieutenant Berg,
the German prize commander. The Hague
conventions nor the declaration Of Lon.
don, entities any belligerent to make
American ports a place for deposit OF

cumstances.
Tho principles of International law

aside. Will not permit the ports of the
United States to be thus used by the
belligerents. If such use were permit
