EIGHT CARGOES OF MEAT SEiZEil BY COURT Americans Who Produced This Meat Will Lose Large Amounts MILLION VALUES ARE FORFEITED TO CROWD Though Nominal Destinati Was Copenhagen, German Army Real One. The British prize court condemned the greater part of the American pro/limt c- 4*i\%*?% * 1?%.v t !M\ <w? ^ r r ?... \iuv I/O iv* I llli IX IC ( V.cl I ^ VM' I) I J UUI steamships. The products, valued at several million dollars, are declared forfeited to the crown. The judgment was delivered by Sir Samuel T. lOvans, president of the court. It involves the cargoes of the Norwegian steamships Kim, Aifred Nobel, Bjornsljernc Bjornson and Fridland. All of the goods, consisting principally of American meat products, are confiscated except a small proportion which the court released to claimants. The case has l>oon pending for several months. The steamships were seized last November, and although efforts were made by the American owners to obtain an early trial the British authorities set the hearing for Juno. The hearing closed last month and judgment was reserved. In a lengthy judment Sir Samuel said it was plain these ships were carrying goods to Copenhagen when captured, more than 13 times the amount of goods which under normal circumstances would have been taken to that port. Intended for Germany. That fact gave practical and overwhelming assurance that the goods were intended for Germany, although, of course, it did not prove conclusively that there were destined for any enemy of Great Britain. One circumstance throwing light or, the real destination of the goods, Sir Samuel said, was that the exportation of lard by one American company alone to Copenhagen in three weeks after the outbreak of the war was 2C times more than in periods of peace. As to tins of canned meats, he said, it had not been shown that they had been sent to Denmark in any great quantity before the war, but hundred of tins were on the way when the vessels were captured. These tins, it seemed, could not have been meant for any persons other than German solfliArc Referring to the consignments of rubber, described as gum, the president said; t T)enounces Subterfuges. *' "I have come to the conclusion that gum is not a true commercial description for rubber and that it was used I in the ship's manifest in order to | avoid the difficulty which would result in its capture by a belligerent.) Any concealment of this sort will.j while I sit in the prize court, weigh heavily against those who adopt such courses. ".Neutrals are expected to conduct their neutral trade during the war without false papers and with candor, and belligerents are entitled to expect from neutrals a frank course of conduct." Sir Samuel allowed one claim of a Danish manufacturer for a quantity of rubber, which he said had been shippod in good faith for use in his factory. Another claim was disallowed. Valued at $175,000,000. The meat cargoes shipped by the great American packing companies and valued by them at $175,000,000, were found by the president to be destined, except for some small items, for dpi ivf'W in flo ? !> * T I ? 4U..4 (, v-v.

To rule otherwise, Sir Samuel said, would he to allow one's eyes to he blinded h\ theories and technicalities. '1 iii? court disavowed 1G claims, in eluding those of the Morris, Armour Hammond, Swift and Sulzberger com panics. It allowed eight claims in eluding that of tjie Cudahy company of Chicago. The ethers were Da nisi consignees. Sir Samuel gave leave to appeal fixing security for the costs at $25,00( divisible among the appellants.

Washington.?Germany does not in- 3 tend to facilitate the exportation of dyestuffs to this country as long a^s the United States makes no effort to move shipments of cotton and foodsuffs to Germany, according to unofficial intimations received by the foreign trade advisers of the state department today. Under the Hritish order in council neither cotton nor foodstuffs can be shipped from this country to Germany, and according to the best information obtainable |( here, there is not much prospect of a change in the present situation any time in the near future. The I-lerlin government lias hinted that in the care of an extreme emergency some dvcsiuffs might be permitted to come through. Just what would be considered an extreme emergency is not known in Washington. There is no attempt to conceal the real situation :n this country. Many textile mills have already been forced to shut down on account of the order in council and many others will be compelled to do so unless the Aemri can government can find a way to secure a modification of the blockade.^ An investigation by American consular officers at Rotterdam shows, it is said, that only 24 tons of dyestuffs are on the docks there awaiting sfiinment. These came frem Belgium and are of Crcrman origin, and consigned to a Boston firm. A New York delegation representing the dyestuffs interest in this coun- , try called on the foreign trade advii&rs today , but it is said nothing new developed from the conference. o i To Prevent Blood Poisoning ipply it ooct the wonderful old reliable DR.
