Newspaper Page TextPLAN TO CONDEMN CAPTURED COTTON British Authorities to Confiscate Cargoes?Must Go Carefully. London, July 20.?That a large part of the shipments of American cotton iheld up by England probably will be condemned bv the prize court was in dicated in a ruling today by the government. The ruling, announced by the board of trade, held that when t?e ownership of cotton shipped under the agreement with American exporters passes from the American shipper to an enemy of Great Britain, it will not he purchased by the British government under the terms of the agreement. Premier Asquith touched on the cotton question during the debate in tlie house of commons today on the new vote of credit. "Tie government is not without hope," he said, "that we shall obtain without much delay a more satisfactory and more adequate solution of belligerent rights not unduly to infringe on the trading interests and legitimate susceptibilities of neutral J powers with which we are on terms of perfect amity and with which we do not desire to provoke anything in the nature of an unnecessary gratu itous quarrel." The premier added that no subject "was receiving more watchful and anxious attention from the government but it was a delicate and difficult matter. The ramifications of the cotton trade were so complicated, he said, that a particular line of policy whic'n might appear to present an easy and practical solution would in reality multiply rather than minimize the dirficulties. "Will Contest Baling. Washington, July 20.?Any British prize court decision that would confiscate without payment cotton of 'American ownership destined to a neutral country or even to private consignees in Germany, Austria or Turkey will fce contested by the lUnited States. Since cotton has not been declared contraband of war, the state department hold that it is not subject to confiscation. The British order in councol provides that noncontraband goods of neutral ownership, if destined for Germany and without a pass, must be dis-! charged in a British port, but that the goods if not requisitioned by the British government shall be restored to the owner on suCn terms as the prize court deems just. The same rule annuls trv canoes sent to other than - - ? - -C- ( German ports, but with an eventually enemy destination. These provisions, aside from the" general .principles of international law, state department officials regard as sufficiently safeguarding American owners from confiscation of their goods. It is said at the department and also at the British embassy, however, tfbat there is no record of ships carrying unmixed cargoe% of cotton of American ownership without suspicion of association with contraband ar. r nnHcr /^otpntinn in Great gWUO IIV/HT UilUVl U V Britain. More Ships Held Fp. London, July 20.?From June 18 to June 30 12 ships, one an American, were-taken into Kirkwald by British patrols. Of these only a portion of the cargo of one was ordered discharged for adjudication in a prize court. The figures for July are not available, but unofficial records show a steady diminution in the number of seizures. ZAPATA'S FORCES IX CAPITAL. Iteoccupy Mexico City lVi-fn Carranzistas Leave?IJisr Battlo Brewing-. Washington, July 20.?Dispatches to the state department: from (Mexico City late today announced that Zapata forces reoccupied the capital Sunday folhving r e evacuation by the Carranza army unci- r Gen. Gonzales. Zapata officials were said to have resumed full control of t e city, from which they were driven ten days ago by Gonzales, who now has gone northward with his trcops to meet an advancing Villa force. This unexpected development came as a surprise not only to Washington officials, but to the Mexican agencies. It had been supposed the Zapata army, driven out, was operating along the railroad to Vera Cruz, waiting an oppcriunity to join the Villa column ap proacfcirg from tne north. Xo word has been received o? the thereabout of Gen. Gonzales since he left the capital. Xev:s of a battle near Pachuca. already reached by Villa men, is expected hourly, and already may have occurred. Other reports to the state department ?aid railroad communication between Vera Cruz and Mexico City was suspended "on account of the present military operations," but no details of the operations were disclosed. Sus- j. pension of railroad communication is j viewed here with fears for the hungry j people in Mexico City, as it cuts off food supplies. A state department announcement j tonight said t:at department advices i reported that the Zapata forces oc- j cupied the city on the afternoon of: the 18th and on the 19th appointed some authorities. "They are, therefore " t&e announcement said, "again in full power. How- j over it ic stfitpri that ZaData forces i appear to desire to maintain order. Pacha Pacharo and the conventionalist government have not yet returned." Today in the cabinet the situation was briefly discussed. Some move on the part of the United States in pursuance of President Wilson's recent message to the Mexican factions urging peace is expected soon. Tie Carranza agency here received a dispatch tonight from Vera Cruz, but - - - ' i 1 _ -*/r j it did not menuon tne cnange in ..vica-1 | ico City. Reports from (Vera Cruz tonight said Mexico City again had been Isolated from communication with the j outside world. It was thought likely j tonight that t'ce Zapata commander destroyed the cable to prevent information about operations reaching Gen. Carranza at Vera Cruz. RSEPECT FOR LAW. Greenville Piedmont. If the editor of fie Piedmont were j ofVfld -n-Viot tha mnsit serious defect i UOIVV^U II UUW *W V?v AUW w of the civilization of South Carolina,! he would unhestitatingly and quickly j answer, "Lack of respect for the laws J of God and man." Few of us realize! and respect the majesty of law. Law | as a Wizole whose perfection is destroyed by violation of any part thereof commands the respect of a very small percentage of our population. We are all strong for enforcement of i such parts of the law as meet our approval, but the spirit of obedienqe to all law because it is the law is not abroad in the land. The man who spits on the sidewalk, or wfto exceeds the speed limit or who uses his cut-out is a law-breaker. So is the - I man wno sells liquor, or runs a gain- . bling joint or insists upon private vengeance as a right. Neither class leaves the law perfect. One set of offenses may seem less in degree than the others, hut they are all lawbreak-1 ing. What we need above all things ! is that respect for law which instinct-; ively respects and obeys all law be- j TT'l T | I cause it is tne law. iw? nave ueeu , 'trying to obtain this result in a rather j desultory way by seeking to work i from t'-e bottom up. The Piedmont! is becoming convinced that the better' way is to work from the top down.1 How can you expect the poor devil I - i wno boot-legs liquor to respect the; law against such sales when he sees it'be rich and highly placed driving " their automobiles' at two or three ? times the speed allowed by law? How a can you expect the mob to refrain from ! t lynching when 999 out of every 1,000 12 will physically resent an insult? As \ far as 'the law is concerned, there is a no difference between lynching and personal assault because of an insult, c Both break the law. j All of this is but preliminary to; j comment upon the following editorial \ from The Newberry Herald and News: t "The Greenville Piedmont tas c raised the question as to whether a r ! man who held the position of county ? 'physician, could also hold c1':.e office of c | alderman of the city of Greenville j? j without violating the provision of the | constitution which in', ibits the holding : t of two offices. The Piedmont should; \ ; know that tha: provision of the con-, < istitution was raiher elastic and was to! t j be obeyed or violated as circumstances = i require. Or rather as to who the j" : party is that is holding the two posi-! r tions.
