PORTUGAL AND GREAT BRITAIN.
The seizure by the Portuguese government of the Ger
man merchantmen interned in its harbors may or may not
be an official act calculated to precipitate a declaration of
war which will mean Portugal's active participation in
the European conflict,
expected, for Portugal and Great Britain are bound by
centuries of friendship to do wliat they can to assist each
other in times of trouble. As far back as 1294 the Portu
guese king. Diniz, negotiated a commercial treaty with
England which was the means of increasing the foreign J
trade of both countries. Trade continued with varying,
activity until 1352, when Pedro I induced Edward III of
England to issue a proclamation in favor of Portuguese
traders, and the next year a Portuguese envoy signed a
covenant with the merchants of England guaranteeing
mutual good faith in all commercial dealings. In addition
to this early commercial intercourse, a Portuguese king,
Ferdinand, appealed to John of Gaunt, ayIio through his
marriage with a Castilian princess claimed the crown of
Castile, to assist him in resisting an invasion headed by
Henry of Castile. Out of this grew a political alliance be
tween Portugal and England which resulted in Richard II
of England sending an armed force to Lisbon, and even
betrothing his cousin. Prince Edward, to Beatrice, only
daughter of Ferdinand, and heiress to the throne, but they
were never married.
Again, in 1385, John of Gaunt led 5000 English sol
diers in support of the Portuguese against the Castilians,
who were overwhelmed and gave up, and hv the treaty of
Windsor the alliance between England and Portugal avus
confirmed and extended. In 1387 a daughter of John of
Gaunt married the Portuguese king, John I, and - relations
between the tAvo countries became even closer. Through
out the fifteenth century they had the friendliest of com
mercial relations, and during the period of Portuguese
expansion Avhieh culminated in the apparently sudden col
lapse of 1578-80, England made no attempt to challenge
Portugal's right to the land she acquired by conquest and
discovery. For a time Prance Avas the active ally of Por
tugal, but in May, 1063, Charles II of England married
Catherine of Braganza, sister of Alphonso VI of Portugal.
Her dowry Avas $2,500.000 and Bombay and Tangier,
which were ceded to the British government. During the
150 years that folloAved 1703, Great Britain maintained a
high duty on Avinés from countries other than Portugal,
and in return Portugal bought textiles of English mer
chants. thus sealing the alliance in a Avav which has not
been forgotten. Time and again Great Britain has sent
troops to help the Portuguese, particularly in their nu
merous Avars against Spain. At one time Portuguese and
British troops fought a small battle iu South Africa, but
the dispute was soon settled, and during the Boer Avar
Portugal stretched her neutrality proclamation in favor
of England and Avas fined by a board of arbitration which
met in Switzerland and listened to the protests of other
powers.
Thus for over fiOO years Great Britain and Portugal
lia\ r e lived on friendly terms, helping each other AAdien
necessary, and profiting by the trade which grew out of
their friendship. There can be little doubt that had Por
tugal had her house in order in August, 1914, slio Avould
have done more than extend promises to Great Britain.
As it is, she can he of no great assistance—at least not
enough to count for much in the final struggle, but it can
not be said of her that she is ungrateful in her attitude to
ward Great Britain, and that, no doubt, is the chief aim
of the Portuguese diplomats.
At any rate, it was to have been
THE SIEGEL CASE.
On being released from prison last Thursday morning,
Henry Siegel, the New York merchant, who was convicted
November 23,1914, on a charge of obtaining credit on false
statements and accepting deposits as a banker when he
knew he was insolvent, was immediately rearrested, v It is
stated that there are thirteen indictments still hanging
over his head. Siegel contends that he was convicted on
evidence which was given only after the state of New
York had agreed to abstain from further prosecution, but
the prosecuting attorney calls attention to the fact that if
the grand jury indicts there is nothing for the prosecutor
to do but proceed as directed. Thus the matter hangs fire
and Mr. Siegel is out on $25,000 bail.
The merchant, however, pleads for a chance to go back
to work with the understanding that he mil repay every
cent of which he defrauded houses with which he dealt
and depositors in the bank which was run in connection
with his department store. In arguing for his immediate
release he says :
The time is moat opportune for mo to get back Into business again. There
is no doubt about my being able to get the money to start again. Already I
have had several offers. One of them Ib to take over the management of the
Siegel-Cboper store in Chicago. Other offers have come to me from New York,
and still another has been made right here in Rochester. I intend to spend a
week looking over the ground on my. way back to New York and Chicago.
This shows plainly that there are many persons who
have confidence in his ability as a merchant. Before his
present trouble he was rated a« among the foremost men
in his line in the United States, and he says that he has
added to his other qualifications a new respect for other
people's money which will greatly enhance his ability as a
business man. On this ground there are no doubt many
among his creditors who .would like to see him have an op
portunity to make good his promise to repay every cent
lie was accused of stealing. But at the same time there is
another aspect of the question. The success of the whole
venture is dependent on his health and ability to get
credit in the face of previous abuses of it. Should he fail
there would be a great cry raised against favoritism in
state courts. Why, it will be asked, should not the burg
lar who steals $20 be allowed to work until he can repay
his victim 1 This question presents itself without any per
sonal reference to the convicted merchant. It is purely
abstract, but it involves the so-called blindness of justice,
and, more important still, it involves the stability of the
people's faith in their law courts.

Timmy Graytail Has Plenty

Timmy Graytail stayed In his warm

however, he was good and tired of
his tree hole, and was more than
ready to race down the tree, trunk

Timmy to stay shut up tight In a
