The country's experience In foreign trntle nnd foreign fiunnoo ns mer chnnt nnd bunker for the world dur ing the Kurnpenn war Is going to he of grent vnlue for more thiin the fnture of our foreign commerce. It has nlrendy hnd vnluahle lesions for the domestic business future. One of the ill-tlnuul-hlnc fentures trf our business situation for several years before the European war was the diminishing element nf whnt Is Called new enterprise. This Is cus tomarlly slcnullzed by activity In the markets for securities denoting nn aggressive exchange of capital ami credit for corpornte eiiiltles nnd oh llgntlnns, accomplishing n ready nb Borptlon of Issues of new securities which mensure the expnnslon of cor pornte endeavor nlrendy established nnd the crentlnn of new corporation. There Is nn good business when new enterprise Is practically In nbeynnce. The Inck of such new enterprise nrdl nnrlly reflects either nn npprnxlmnte exhnullon of capital nvnllnhle for fresh Investment or n piirnlysls of confidence. I'simlly It betokens both, for It Is In periods when conthlence abounds ilint cupltnl Is mot rapidly nccumulated nnd most rapidly In vested, mid Inxesinient of It Is stead ily translated Into the expenditure for expansion Hint raNe business vol nme.s nnd values Into Hie realm of well distributed properlty. The icliillon between good business nnd Hie line-inient of capital has not been umlci'stooil so generally or so siitl'-l'acioiily ns It should be among our people. In coiiseipience we lane lunl III nmny recent jears demoiisii'iilioii- of an iilllliide toward capital which lia- been primarily re sponsible for prolonged seasons when Hade and industry liiogiiNhcil aluiosi liicoiiiireieii-llil In a couniry -o rich lis Hill's, sn eiiergelic, so pleiilifully endowed with wealth creating oppor tunity Perhaps after the lessons of the Kurnpenn war we may deal dlf feienilj with lite contacts between business mill luiiince, especially In re spect to the programmes of politics which lend io affect Hie capital mar kets adeiely. After Hie war Kin ope Is going to hid for Hie free capital of the world. All nations will nnr competitive at trncllons In induce the lnesment of capital. Tor I lie sake of our domes, tic prospect it will not lie possible for us to render the home Investment mnrkot nnnttrnciive by the lslonar.v follies nf Imprnetlcnl dabblers In ex. pcrlmentnl legislation. u tTblcssoni of the European war In this respect were rammed up In the address made last Thursday by Carlos A. Toiwquist of Buenos Ayres nt the New York State Bank ers' convention nt Atlantic City, when ho snld: "The experience of the forogn hnnks In the Argentine Hepuhllc hns exploded the theory that 'trnde follows the flag.' The results obtained there show that trade fol lows cspltnl." Fin added further: "The grent and close relntlons built up by Europe with the Argentine Hepuhllc have been established prin cipally nn the hnsts of mutusl confi dence." This hns the most direct applica tion not only to our International com mercial future hut to our future of domestic expansion. The experience we are getting In our new Inter national relntlons of commerce and finance forcibly Illustrates a domestic need which hns been too little appre ciated. Trnde follows cnpltnl and both nre based on confidence. This Is true not alone of foreign trnde hut of domestic trnde, and If our commer cial experience during the European war teaches us what It should we are going to have less of the politics of disruption for a long time to corns. New enterprise which makes domes tic trade most expansive and most profitable depends on a thrifty accu mulation of capital out of profits and wages, and on Its thrifty Investment, both of which are promoted by con fident expectation that public policy will supply Incentives for the Invest ment of cnpltnl. The political cam paign of this year should accordingly offer n prospect to thrifty Investors, nt a time of extraordinary accumula tion of capltnl, which will assure them of the governmental encouragement of Investment enterprise Instead of the discouragement which promised of late years to hecome permanent. Not a New tiarment for Mr. Hughes. In the composition of his memor able message nf acceptance tp the Re publican nntlonnl convention on Snt urdny. fimtt.r.s E.

His opin ions were not Inspired by the Inci dents of the Inst twenty-two months, nor Improvised to meet the exigencies of n political situation. On both these subjects Mr. Htx.!tr.s wns on record onrs ngo; he Is no new convert to undivided citizenship or to nn Amer ica nrmed for self-protection. In nn address before the Republi can Club of this city on .Innunry 31, 1!M8. Mr. Hrottr.s. then Governor of the Stnte, snld : "V are 1evotd to fhf Intends of riPAC and chorion no pnlley of ETfsslon.

On October 11, irx7, Governor Hrciiir.s delivered nn address nt the dedicntlon nf the monument In this city to General Franz Sinr.i.. In the pourse nf this he spoke of the con tributions made to American prog ress by men of German nativity nnd drscent. But nine years ngn, when hjphennted ' citizenship presented no acute problem to the nntlnn, Mr. Ilrniirs. In closing his remarks, used lliese words; 'This Is our rommon country. What 'Ver the aliode nf our ancestors, this Is our home and will be the home of our children, nnd In our love frir our Institutions, and In our desire to main tain the standard" of civic conduct RhU-h are easi-ntlal to their perpetuity, we recnsTilne no difference In race or creed we stand united, a contented people rejoicing In the privileges and determined to meet the responsibilities of American rltlienshlp," These extracts from speeches made before Kurnpenn wnr hnd brought the problem of prepnreduess nnd the menace of divided nlleglance to the ncnte stage (hey hnve reached since August, 1014, make manifest the Americanism nf Mr. HrmiKs, nnd dlsplny him wen ring the robe of patriotism, not ns n new gnrnient, but ns h garh familiar to him throughout the whole period nf his public service. "Busy on Speech." I'rom Cape May comes the (lash: "Wkscoit busy on speech, preparing address to place Wilson in nomina tion," Cape May Is New Jersey's nearest In Washington; on Its south ern lip n light, liH.fi feet nboe menu blL'h water, flnshes every thirty sec onds, Caiie May city has a beach and a boardwalk, canning factories nnd summer boarders numerous ns the sands. It Is in the books ns "ilm only port nf refuge smith nf Sandy Hook on the New Jersey coast," Somewhere, near that port of refuge Hie lion, John W. Wkscoit lias In terned himself, with n barrel of Ink, a mountain of paper and his self lllllng fountain mind, Mount Wescott Is in n stale of violent eruplloii, In mind's eye we see the New Jersey Attorney-General'M uiigusi Henri'--there In the ncccssihle, .seclusion of Capo May (sen "Vacation Micro 'Mini") pacing the sandy bench nnd gazing out over the wine dark sea; there at Jersey's ultimate aspiring reneh fnr Washington, Nafoi.miv on the Klbaii strand, planning new con ipiests and the resuscitation of de ferred umhlllnns, "It Is believed," etherenl wnves transmit the plenslnu news, "the speech, will be pn different lines from the one that nominated Wrtaon at Baltimore." It will be swept by ocean breezes, charged with life giving O7.one, shot through with the fog piercing flashes of Cape Wescott's lofty beacon. There will be In It no Chtcngoan hehetudlnoslty, no Bnltl morenn platltudlnnslty. It will put a new snap and sparkle Into St. Louis's midriff satisfying beverage ; It will snlt the Inland air. Bosoms Democratic and brains of non-Democratic intelli gence alike await, palpitant with ex pectation, the rolling periods of Wood rovlan praise. We had placed, It must be very frankly confessed, less trust than hope In reports that Mr. Wkscott would make the speech. We never believed for a moment thnt Governor FiKi.nra'a earth keeping declamation would be preferred to the Judge's skyscrnplng oratorical flight. But we protest with no consciousness of Insincerity we had expected the unique candidate himself to sound the keynote, write the platform, "preside over the deliberations of the august assemblage," nominate and elect him self. But Judge Wkscott will do It better. Incomparably better than Mr. Wilson could, and we are glad to believe that to his coat lnpel the honor Is pinned fast. The speech will not be lost upon the folks back home In .Tcrseyland. my (Martink's) Jerseyland, looking abend to a Senatorial primary In which the State's Attorney-Genernl Is setting the pace. Loises In the Skagerak Fight. Although the German Admlrnlty hns now admitted the sinking of the buttle cruiser I.utznw nnd the smnll cruiser nostoek In the Skngerak fight, in addition to the bnttleshlp Pom mcrn. the cruisers Wiesbaden, Killing nnd Frnuenlob. nnd five destroyers previously reported, a doubt must still exist concerning the number and de scription of vessels lost by the Ger mnns. As the sinking of the bnttle cnilser I.utzow and the third clnss cruiser Rostock was concealed "for military rensons." to quote from the intest report of the Admiralty, what assurance can there be thnt the whole story of losses Is now told? The first report of the battle, which wns officially published on June 3. limited losses to the battleship Pom mern and the cruiser Wlesbnden, while the small cruiser Frauenlob nnd "some torpedo boats" were said to be "missing." The bulletin of vic tory ended with the statement : "The High Seas fleet returned to-dny (Thursday) Into our port." This was not true. At least one bnttle cruiser of the Perffllnger type (20,000 tons, mnln battery of eight 12 Inch guns) nnd the Rostock, a swift light cruiser of about 5.000 tons, were unnecountcd fnr. If the Germnn Admlrnlty de llberntely falsified Its report of .Tune H credulity will bnlk nt accepting ns tlnnl the bulletin of June 8. which adds these two ships to the previous list of losses. On the night nf June 2 the nrltlh Admlrnlty In a seennd bulletin as serted that either the Perffllnger nr the I.utzow wns blown up during the action; thnt the other bnttle cruiser "was seen to be disabled nnd to have stopped"; nnd Hint still nnotber Ger mnn battle cruiser "wns observed to be seriously dnmnged." It wns added thnt n light cruiser of the Rostock lpe hnd been sunk, together with six destroyers nnd n submarine, the last of which wns rnmmed. The Rrltlsh Admiralty wns pnrtly rlcht In Its estimate nf German bnttle cruiser Insscs, nnd It Is tn be noted Hint ns to two of the enemj's ships the nfll clnl report merely stated thnt they were put out of net Ion. The "drend nought bnttleshlp" declared to have been' "blown up In nn nttnek by de stroyers" mny hnve been the Pom mern, which was not n dreadnought but a modern vessel (10000S1 of the Peutschlnnd clnss (ia.000 tons, bnt- lories of four 11 Inch and fourteen 0.7 Inch guns). The British also expressed a belief In their second bulletin that n dread nought bnttleshlp of the Knlser clnss (2l,oi)0 tons, mnln bnttery nf ten 12 Inch guns) hnd been sunk "by gun tire." The form of the statement Im plied n doubt In their own minds, it hns never been assorted by the Rrltlsh Admlrnlty thnt the Germnn dread nought battleship Westfnlen nf the Nnssnu clnss (is.ono tnns, mnln bnt tery of twelve 11 Inch gunsl wns de stroyed. Although a report thnt she wns sunk Is persistent, the German Admlrnlty hns made no statement one way or the other. The British In their flrst bulletin of the tight announced thnj the bnttle cruisers Queen Mnry, Indefnllgnble nnd Invincible hihI Hie armored cruisers Defence nnd Black Prince had been sunk, and that the ar mored cruiser Warrior had boon nbnn tinned In u sinking condition by her crew. Apparently I hey enncented nothing for "military rensons," nnd hnve nnt hnd lo revise their list of losses In any essentlnl particular. We know now thnt the Skngerak light was not n grent victory for either side. If nny victory nt nil, Certainly If the Rrltlsh Meet suffered n dumng Ing blow nnd run for Its base It would be sound tactics for the Ger mnn High Sens fleet tn come out again. But It Is undergoing repairs by admission of the Admlrnlty, and under cover, fnr the navy yards are to be closed for two months. The Near City Kellow. It mny he that (lie apparent whim sicality of Imputing to suburbanites a certain flnlcnlneKs or aversion to the strenuous In life conceals something serious. This thought Is aroused by the hnrdy Insistence nf n resident of a suburb thnt his fellow commu ters are getting to point where they are "Just too nice to live"; the point! being determined by their objection to his live stock, Including a songful peacock, crowing roosters nnd neigh ing ponies. Were It not for forbidding town ordinances he would add to his renr yard symphony the "braying of a pntlent Jncknss," the grunts of well fed pigs. Must nil thnt tradition hns moulded Into belief be surrendered like an out worn creed? Is the Intangible unfix able? Where was formed the flrst society for the suppression of unnec essary noises?

The critic of his neighboring commuters calls them "nenr city fellows"; hut we have been taught that the fur ther from being a city fellow a cltb ren Is the more of the heroic there ts In him in respect nf physical endur ance, Htirlculnr nnd otherwise, nnd if thnt were so, It would seem to follow thnt a near city fellow would yet ex cel In such respect a whole city fel low. It would seem, we say; yet there mny be the rub: It mny be that the commuter, the near city fellow, Is detached from nil similarity to the entire urbnnlle and to the perfect countryman. Seeing little of the city hut his office, the strolls between there and the tube or ferry, he Is unlnured to those horrid hazards which develop In whole city men tem erity which develops Into the courage of fntsllsm. ennhllng them to meet even Jnnltnrs nnd step lively auto crnts unnfrnld. But the commuter? In this the month nf his sweetest ecstasy, though he takes so late n trnln as the 4:28, If spry, or the 4:42, he does not go to Hit milking bnm, the truck garden, the unsprnyed orchard to toughen, to nc quire strenuoiisncss.

THE MOTOR'S VOICE. A Frenehsiaa's laqalry lata the Warnings of the Devil Wagon. M. MiraffO recently laid before the Academy of Sciences In Paris his ob servations on the various horns with which motor cars are equipped. It I". evidently a complex study. Noise, not musical sound, Is , the especial glory of the automobile horn, and no other Instrument ts so beautifully adapted to display the terror and the "grnndeur" of cacophony. Noise, however, defeats Its own pur pose by shocking the nerves. It Is wiser to offer less noise and thereby less shock. It Is a fallacy, says the French writer, to suppose that nolss produces safety to the public. Manu facturers, seemingly, srs governed by this notion, Ineffective as It has proved; to them it appears that in order to arouse the public's attention noise Is stl that Is neede'd. Experience does not support this view. The peoplo are accustomed to noise, and one noise, more or less, falls tn arouse their attention. The case Is different with musical sounds. In most musical notes the fundamen tal or grnvest tone is present In suffi cient Intensity to Impress Its character on the whole. M. Marnge thinks therefore thnt motor cars should be equipped with a horn that has two notes, a fundamental grave tone, and a sharp, warning high note, With characteristic French regard for the comfort of living, he adds that the grave or musical tone should be used In cities, since It does not reach fsr and does not fatigue the citizen. Here Is a practical and philanthropic Idea to be recorded In the Interest of the public. The effect nf noUe In un dermining vitality nnd nerves has never been so accurately defined, M. Marnge'a rule Is good sense and obedience to musical law. For In the dally use of our ears nur object Is to disentangle from the whole mass of sound thet may reach us the parts coming from sources that may Inter est us at the moment. Undoubtedly It Interests ns nt the moment to know that a man I" tilting at us In a SO horse-poer touring car. But we nre sometimes deaf to the plgllke squeal nf his horn. According to M, Ioubet, nvho In the tievur Keirntiflqur nf May wrote a criticism of M. Mnragc's study, the power to disentangle from the mass of sound the sources that may Interest us nt the moment Is diminished by the circumstances of nur city life. The repetition nf famjllar street noises dulls the ear and has the effect of s'.nwIiiK our peiceptlon nf sound. He calls this the law of psychnloidcal habit It lias Wen the cause of many accidents. This truth Is one of which nil motorists are aware. "Is there nn automobillst," he neks, "who hn. not verified this fact for ' li.mself, who has not observed psycho- Im:lcal deafness In the pedestrian who fnl' seems to hear the horn at the """".r"1 7" ,h' T, " ,". "i W r"1 " "' old nni1 """ the deaf, whether younn or nld. those who take dons out for walks nnd hne the care of children n the streets, have long been nwnre ' ''il terror that stalks the sttcet .. Apparently M, Loubei m o.- . a on the distinction evtwico sinnuls i made by Lord Itnylelgh In hi" ' Theory They may be clnsed ns musltal Htnl unmusical, the former for comcnlfiice may be c.illcd notes and the latter noises. The extreme cases will raise no difficulty; every on knows the difference between the i lln'" of " Piano nnd the squeaking f a motor born. But It Is not easy t draw the line of separation In the clamor that readies across the streets of crowded cities. A myriad of sound Influences go to develop and form this clamor. In two different ways, hut each equally effective, n horn with a low and i high note performs the ultimate I function of sound, which la to be I heard. WOMEN'S VOTES.

To Tin Km tor or the Srs Mr. Miss I ,,,, ,.,, m,k(, ,, Matc.m(.n, ns to the aim of that organization, iWilrh Is to force the passage of a na tional suffrage amendment 11 what rlht do the women of the Congressional l'nlon take upon them selves to decide the polltlral fate of all (he women of this country? The great majority of American women do not want the vote, l.ess than in prr cent of them nsk for It, n statement frequently made by antl-suf-fiagists, and strenuously denied h. suffragists until latel, when Mi.

As to any fear of these women politically one has only to recall their threats in the past, as, for Instance, when they "blacklisted" nine Senators end nine Representatives as a revenge for disappointments In Congress The Senators selected were: Lodge of Massa chusetts, Hoot of New York, Brandegee of Connecticut, Clarke of Arkansas.

CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY. I,aw and Public Sentiment Against Of flee to Reward Party Service. To tub Kditor or The Son Sir: The selection of Mr. HuKhes ns the candidate of the Republican party Is of the utmost significance In Its relation to campaign publicity and Its Importance to the na tional defence. The American people nre willing to prepare their navy and army for the national defence, hut the State Department and the diplomatic service, Its first line, demand equal attention. The heads of the State. Navy and War departments should not be selected on account of past or anticipated political service. Party organltatlon under our party government requires recognition of service, hut let such recognition not Infringe upon the national defence. The campaign publicity moirment hnd Its origin In the Presidential election of 1(04, The agitation over contributions of corporations led to an Investigation In the Htate of New York by a legislative committee of which Mr. Hughes was the counsel. Governor Hughes In his first message to the New York Legislature aid: There la nn better wav nf putting an n4 tn bribery and corruption than by em pelting full publlilty as tn campaign e pemllturea, and this was the Infant of the legislation taut year. From the statement tiled after the last election the public has Warned of the large amount that ar needed fnr legitimate usaa during a cam paign, and party nrganltatlona have se cured from heir managera an account nf the manner It which the money (ntrumed tn them was spent The value of this leglalatlon la principally found In the meana provided for the acrutlny of the statemenla flld, and the provision permit ting private Individuals to Institute a legal Inquiry for this purpnus la a very Impor tant advance toward the dulred end. The efforts to secure a provision for the enforcement of the Kederal law sim ilar to that In the New York publicity statute to which Governor Hughes re ferred as "a very Important advance toward the desired end" have been un availing, Mr. Hughes's election would undoubtedly enable us to carry out all the purpree of campaign publicity. Our organization has never ceased tn Insist that one of the chief purposes of campaign publicity legislation Is to pre. vent, as far as may he possible through publlrity, the purchase and sale of puh lie oftlces la recognition of campaign obligations, whether of nomination or election. Campaign publicity haa there fore n distinct and Important relation to the national defence. Army corps and battleships are not entrusted tn Inex- ferlenced commanders as rewards fnr slltlcnl contributions or party service, The responsibilities of our Government as a vtnrld Power have demonstrated the need nf training and experience In the State Department nnd the diplomatic service, which together constitute the first line of national dr-feme. The pending Presidential election Is the second to h held under the opera tion of campaign publicity laws. It mny be assumed the public sentiment will, as In 1 91 1, require a faithful nbservance of ilini-s laws nn the part of rampaign committees, national, Congressional and State, of all political parties, hut It re main to b seen how far the spirit nf the law was nh-erved at the nominating convention nr will be by the Incoming Administration, whichever paity may be successful. It Is to be hoped that the bartering of the great places for political service nr for rampaign contributions will hereafter nnt again be tolerated as biting been chiefly In compliance with exigencies of personal or party ad vantage.

THE CASE OF THE ADELA. In No Conrt Was the Question of Treatment of the Malls Ralea. To the Eciron or Tits Bun Sir: Tn rt-plv to my comments on his form of argument .Mr. A. Maurice !xm In an other letfer to The Sun has presented what he calls "precedent and authority." He remarks: t am afraid Mr. Blgelow la nnt aa well Informed on th legal, political and mili tary hlitnry of bis own country at ha ought to baj otherwlie he would not hava asked the question. I did not ask the question which Mr. Low goes to the pains of answering. My only question was the abstract one whether there could be a law auperlor to that of British Interests. Perhaps I ought to know more history lhan 1 do. At any rate, 1 appreciate Mr, Low's well meant efforts tn Improve my mtnd In thnt direction. But a man may he an Ignoramus In every branch nf history and et toe rational. That Is all that Is necessary to puncture Ihe fallacy at which I have aimed. I did not say that there was no prece dent for (treat Britain's Interference with neutral malls. There Is perhaps no wrong for which some precedent may not be found, t called attention to the fact that Mr. Low had not cited any, nnd was attempting to make his point Independently nf precedents, on the principle, apparently, that a neutral has no rights which Oreat Britain Is bound to respect. Nothing In Mr. Low's last Utter bean upon this criticism, except to confirm It. He cites an alleged precedent which la no precedent, and, concludes with the observation! Surely as a good American Mr, Blgelow will admit that a precedent established, set up and enfotce.j by Ihe (Internment of th United Htatet In IMS Is a moat excellent precedent for the Brltlah Gov ernment to follow In I'll. This Is of a ple-e with the reasoning In Mr. Uiw'i first letter. Why does he refer to me as "a good American"? Because he assumes that my mind works the way his does, t take this on the whole as a compliment, hut I protest that I have not the national spirit which he attributes tn me. All the patriotism that I can summon up does not enable me to see that a precedent made In 1562. though It be hy my own Government, Is necessarily good prac tice for the Rrltlsh Government or any Government to-day What Mr. Ixiw tries to Justify In the present methods of the Rrltlsh navy may have been law ful In 1SI: nnd he unlawful In 191. Hut I do not admit that It was lawful In lSfil. I deny the alleged precedent. To he a precedent It must he an Hct of the same kind as the present nets and must have been adjudged by a court or other superior authority nf the t'nlted States to be lawful and proper. Mr. Low- cites the case of the Adela, He represents this vessel carrying merchandise and malls from one Rrltlsh port to another ns being captured by a Federal cruiser and brought to Ke West as a prize of war. and her malls as being detained and examined hy Federal officers The Adela was destined for a hloi kuded port Wal lace, 2fiii). This differentiates her case from the cases under consideration In tlie present war, cases of neutral desti nation, A neutral port cannot be blockaded , that Is, not legally. But as suming that the Adela was destined to n neutral or unblockaded port and that the case was one of the same kind as In the present war, It wan not, so far ns malls were concerned, sanctioned or approved hy either the Judicial or the executive branch of our Government. It lame before the Supreme Court as a case of capture and condemnation. It vn.s subsequently beard by the Anglo American Claims Commission formed under the treaty of Washington (May S, 1-71) on a claim of unlawful cap ture, and the claim was unnnlmousl disallow ed. In ne ther court was any question raised as to the treatment of malls. Hid the British Government and pen pie resign themselves to having their malls opened and searched by n belltger mt" No Such action, so far as It took place, wan discountenanced and stopped hy the Culled States Govern ment. The Adela was captured, Mr. Low says, on July 7, 1H2. Refore the facts wire established In Washington action was taken to prevent the practice which Mr. Low would have us recognize .is n piecedcnt. It was August S, 1S62, when Secretary Seward wrote to Sec tetaty Welles; I am directed hr the President to aak nu tn cive the fnitolng Instructions ex pllcltl in the naval nflk-ere nf the United I..-k- "r r!-H!iic- of forclcn authorities ar- tn tin n.,, ha. on anv pretext, to he broken or p,r e entered M- th-ni. read I In am nnwi .mi h'-rl!) of the t'nlted States; in 1l t-.it" nt Mitin -bine c-inxeying such I pnr.-e, and ,iuli scicl or fastened hy fi-ielfcll suihnrllt. - nil he tn the dis cretion ef the Cnlted state, oHoer tn whom ! thc rai none delivered tu th consul, ' cmiiinn-llns naval oitlcer. or legation, of in- mrriKn ' "V ern mem in rt openeq upon the understanding that -hateer l rnn Unhand er Important as evidence con irrnlne He ihnr.ictcr of a captured vessel wi I he remitted to th- prlne cnurt m- tn the svereury of P ai at Washing ton, or ii, h eeilrrt bxirs er rrces rnar he st niic - forwarded to this Department, tn lb- end that ih proper aiithorltlea nf the foreign Hmernnient may receive the Hine v-hhout delay Tin re was nn provision made for In tercepting Infntmation that might In terest and irinh the enemy Subee iiuenlly the following Instructions were Issued 1'iihll. nulls of anv friendly n- neutral Power illl'v iei nlet or authenticated s. such I found en boa id raptured vessel), shsll not he e,inhcl or opened but h" put as speedily si maj he convenient en the w.iv to their destination (Seward In Welles, Oclnher JI.
