BRYCE ETALKSOF
WORLD TRADE lI
Less Governments Meddle
in Business the Better For
People, He Says
DENIES WAR DUE
TO FINANCES

WILLIAMSBURG. Aug. e.-Th<
less executive governments have TO
do with business and international
finance the better for their peoples,
Viscount James Bryce said in his
third public address before the In
stitute of Politics at williams Cob
lege last night. He was discussing
International trade and questioned
the value of direct governmental aid
to commercial interests.
Speaking of the connection be-
tween finance and war, Lord Bryce
declared:
Money can exercise as much
illegitimate influence in democracies
as elsewhere. In some of them it
can buy the press, perhaps also a
section of legislators. Where the
standard of public virtue is high,
those who want to get something
from a government will seek not to
bribe, but will. to use a current ex-
preston, try to get at the press,
while also seeking TO induce infiu-
ential constituents to put pressure
on their members and members to
put pressure on ministers the object
in view being represented as a pub
lie interest, whereas il Is really the
interest of a small group. When the
standard is low, the group will ap-
proach the private secretaries of a
minister or even a minister himself.
That wars are made by financiers
is not generally true. but they have
great hand in negotiations and in
fixing the lines Of policy, and they
sometimes turn 1t in directions not
favorable to true national interests.
Governments musts of course, con-
suit financiers, and may often not
only profit by their advice. but make
use Of them A consortium Of banks
such as has been set up for China
may prevent-and 1 think 1t does
prevent-evils which would arise il
each national group intrigued for it's
own interest. There are upright men
valuable 10 a nation in high finance
as in other professions. You know.
them in America and we know them
in England. They have their sphere
Of action necessary to the world. But
wherever large transactions involv-
ing governments arise the danger
signal for watchfulness should. be
raised"

FAIR PRIzESFOR
FANCY PIECES
Every Encouragement is
Given Even Children to
Show Handiwork
EXHIBIT
TO BE BEST EVER

The handicraft of either real old
persons, or the coming generations
are always Of great interest, not
alone to their friends and near rela-
tives, and a credit to themselves, but
also to those who do not know them,
but are willing to give due credit
when they see something that is
clever and reflects ambition, skill
and patience.
Among the thousands of prem
iums offered by the Delaware State
Fair this year as in other years, fhe
children's department is one that al
ways provides an attractive display
and is usually the center of an ad-
miring-sometimes criticizing crowd.
This year the usual premiums for
various kinds of fancy work and
.serviceable articles are offered and
in addition there are cash prizes for
girls, giving them an opportunity to
show what kind of knitters and sew
ers they are. In former years it used
to be the grandmothers and mothers
who were the livliest knitters, but
in this generation with the fancy
sweaters and shaWas and wraps that
are considered the very latest style
in their garment-nearly every girl
who has the time can be found
knitting.
The department for this and also
for the other premiums is divided
into two classes--those for children
under z wears and the sacond eoc-
ton by children from 13 to 16
years. No exhibit will be considered
that does not bear the age of the
competitor.
Five special and new sets OF
premiums are offered under the head
Of Miscellaneous. The first is two
premiums for Tam 'Shanters made
OF any material, embroidered in silk.
cotton or wool or trimmed with hand
made wool flowers.
The second is for wool embroidery
on a garment The garment need
not have been made by a child, but
II so. the more credit will be award
ed it.
Another is for wool or silk and
wool embroidery on dress accessories
such as vests, collars and cuffs.
Then there are premiums FOR
scarfs made of light wooden (such as
wool Jersey or silk. and finished
with chochet. embroidery or both.
The fifth special contest is for
samples of sewing, showing different
stitches and manner Of putting on
buttons, hooks, eyes. tapes etc.

Attorney-General's Office
Finds Statue to Cover
Libel on Schooner
3-MILE ZONE
is ABANDONED

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Aug. g.
The dry boundaries OF the United
states have been set twelve miles out
at sea. The old three-mile zone.
bordering which booze-running craft
might scurry unmolested, has be-
come a thing Of the past.
That decision was reached by the
United States Attorney Generals
Office in giving authorization to
United States Attorney William
Hayward. of New York, to bring libel
proceedings against the British
schooner Henry L. Marshall seized
by Coast Guard men of the Jersey
shore.
For in searching for the law. and
in determining how far the law
would reach, the Attorney Generals
office came to the conclusion that
liquor. cargo carrying would be sub
ject to actions under sections Of the
revised statutes dealing with snug
Cling and the transfer Of contraband
goods at sea within twelve miles Of
shore.
The decision OF the Government to
press the case against the Britisher
came after some hours Of doubt and
only after Mr.. Hayward had laid his
case fully before Acting Attorney
General Goff and they had gone over
the evidence in a thorough discus
sion.
Then It was announced that Mr..
Hayward's investigation had shown
that the schooner had violated both
the Volstead and the custom laws

will put an end to the hopes OF those
American citizens who were still
hoping THAI real booze may yet be
brought into the country. The three

OF joke. now appears to have been
a sad joke.
Acting Attorney General Con.
until receipt OF Mr.. Hayward's rec
ord Of evidence in the Marshall case
appeared to be in doubt as to the
grounds for the seizure. and even
expressed the opinion informally that
the action Of the Coast Guard cap
tain appeared to have been OF
doubtful legality" Later facts. how
ever. changed his attitude and he
said it now seems clearly establish
ed that the schooner was a violator
and liable TO penalties OF the GUS
toms and prohibition laws. Forfeit
ure Of the vessel is likely. Col Con

Mr.. Con- said he withdrew his
summons to District Attorney Hay

nection with the case when the latter

Although the chief violations al

Marshall were in the jurisdiction OF
the District Attorneys for New Jer-
sey and Brooklyn. acting Attorney

whose district the schooner is now
