MODERN INSTANCE FOR IT

TIE reported refusal OF the Dutch
cabinet Of the offer Of grain supplies
by the Allies for the use OF the Dutch
ships which have been commandeered
is a case OF cutting off the nose to
spite the face. Holland needs the
foodstuffs just as bad as the Allied
governments require the shipping
they have seized. The action OF Hol.
land is not prompted through any SYM
pa,hy with, but wholly through fear
of GERMANY The German government
has no grounds upon which to base
any competent objection to the proce-
dure OF the Allies. If any particular
precedent had been lacking in modern
instance, Germany herself would fur
nish the particular act TO stamp It
with legality. She exercised the same
right In the FraucoPrussian war In
1870 1t is general principle In In
ternational law, pointed out by those
familiar with that law, that neutral
property in belligerent territory
shares the same liability to seizure for
war purposes as property Of citizens
OF that country.
And while it Is not expected for a
moment that Germany would regard
anything as binding on her that had to
do with International or any other
kind of law, 1t will be interesting, as
former President Taft recalls, to the
public mind to be refreshed with the
incident connected with the Franco
Prussian war. In that conflict Count
Bismarck asserted the right OF seizure
against Great Britain. a neutral.

the room an electric vitality, a breezi-
ness hard to describe. Altogether she
was such vision of healthy, unaffect-
ed and smartly gotten-up young wom-
anhood that O'Reilly could only stam-
mer his acknowledgment of the intro
duction, inwardly berating himself for
his awkwardness.
Alvnrado placed an affectionate
hand upon Miss Evans shoulder.
"O'Reilly, this girl has done more for
Cuba than any Of us. She has spent
a small fortune for medical supplies" :"
said he.
"Those poor men must live on quiz
nine," the girl exclaimed. "Anyone
who can bear to take the stun ought
to have all he wants. I've a perfect
passion for giving pills"
O'Reilly liked this girl. He had liked
her the instant she favored him with
her friendly smile, and so, trusting
fatuOusly to his masculine powers of
observation, he tried to analyze her.
He could not guess her age, for an ex-
pensive ladies' tailor can battle the
most discriminating eye. Certainly,
however, she was not old-he had an
idea, that she would tell him her exact
age II he asked her. While he could
not call her beautiful, she was some
thing immensely better-she was alive,
human, interesting, and interested.
The fact that she did not take her

she was also sensible beyond most
women. Yes, that was 1t. Miss No
rine Evans was a perfectly sensible,
unspoiled young person, who showed
the admirable effects Of clean living
and clean thinking coupled with nor
NAL, sturdy constitution. O'Rellly told
himself that here was girl who could
pour tea, nurse sick man, or throw
baseball.
And she was as good as her promise.
She did not interrupt when, during
dinner, .Alvarado led Johnnie to talk
about his latest experience in Cuba,
but, on the contrary, her unfiagging IN
terest induced O'Reilly to address his
talk more often to her than to the doc
tor. He soon discovered chat she un-
derstood the Cuban situation as well
