 Text of Statement.
 Here Is the full text of Secretary Lans1ng's statement:
 The Netherlands government have issued a statement relative to tho re- cent action of the government of the United States In putting into it's service for the period of the present war emergency certain privately owned vessels of Netherlands registry lying within the territorial Jurisdiction of the United States. While this ac- ton Is referred to as being indefen- aible from the standpoint of interna- tional law. the statement of the Me- therlands government does not ar que the question of legality. Nor Is this government disposed to do so. The practice of nations and the opinions of Jurists on the right of belligerent to utilize all vessels which come voluntarily and uncondi- Honally within it's jurisdiction are suf- l1c1ently wei known to render citation cf precedent and of authority un- necessary. But, as the Netherlands government themselves suggest, our action must be subjected to finer test than that of mere legality. It matters very little that our act be legal if, as alleged 1t violates tradi- tlonal friendship and is inconsistent with ideals of right and justice.
 Sought Coal Through Friendship.
 ''The Netherlands Government first declared that the very presence of Dutch ships in our ports resulted from our detention of them with an unfriendly hand. While our right to refuse bunkers and cargo license IS conceded, friendship, it is said, should have led to the granting of special privileges in favor of the subjects of a friendly State. Our own supply of bunker coal a seaboard has been in- adequate for our pressing national needs. The cargos which were de- manded were largely of grain, of which our own reserves are all too low. The bunkers, if granted, would have served to carry this grain to the Netherlands where. as events have demonstrated, it was not then needed, and where it would only have served to release equivalent foodstuffs for the enemy. Such action on our part, whatever it's intention, would in fact have been an act beneficial to the en- emy and having no relation to our friendship to the Netherlands The owners Of Dutch ships were, however, unwilling that their ships should per- form any other services than those which 1t was clearly impossible for us, to facilitate, and the ships of this maritime nation accordingly lay idle for many months and until the con- clusion on January 25, 1918, of the temporary shipping agreement which was proposed by the Netherlands Commissioners at London and &C., cepted by the United States as measure to restore to inm ediate &C., tivity that portion of the Netherlands mercantile fleet lying within our wa ters

Weather Might Be Worse.

The recent spell of cold weather hes
been quite severe and has caused mucn
suffering, but 1t might be worse. In
the winter of 1898 the thermometer
registered twenty-eight degrees below
zero, while the snow was from six 10
nine inches deep. Going away back
into the past, the winter of 1855 made
record for continued low tempera'
ture. The cod weather followed an
unusually hot and dry summer and set
in early. The river froze up about tho
first of December and did not thaw
until well into March. Ice formed upon
the river eleven to fifteen inches in
thickness and the young people had a
great time sleighing upon its surface
from the lock to the upper wharf at
the foot of High street. There was no
bridge across the mouth of Benson and
loaded wagons crossed upon the ice
from the west side to the foot of Gin
ton street. The legislature met that
year on the first Monday in December
and did not adjourn until March, and
as many of the members had to travel
by boats to reach their homes, some of
them were two weeks on the road-all
navigable streams being frozen.

Wilson to Call on People
to Respect LaW in Dealing
With Enemy Alien Suspects
tBy Morning journal Special Leased wlrc)

Washington, July 22.-Deeply con-
cerned by manifestations of mob
spirit in widely separated parts of the
land, President Wilson is about to is-
sue statement to his countrymen,
calling upon them to respect the re-
straint of law and order in dealing
with those whom they suspect OF be-
ing enemy aliens.
The presidents pronounccment
probably will take the form of the
open personal statement, similar to
that which he issued at the beginning
of the world war, urging his country
men to observe true neutrality.
The episode which disturbed the
president was the hanging of Robert
p. Prayer at Collinsville, ILL.,, last
April. The incident was discussed in
the German reichstag and it was re-
ported from Amsterdam that Germany
was sending protest through diplo-
matte channels. The state depart
