who im not nt war ot all, and whoso

such 'iuitlniis ntul to decide In each
instance hither the captive Is or Is
tiot lawful piey that rccouise Is had to a
prize court.
nri.ns von snizuitE.
When a ship belongs to the enemy It Is
almost always lawful to take her. Thete
ato a very few epectlons. A fishing boat
is eNempt. and so Is a. small local trading
vessel, mill a mission ship, and a ship con
veying exchanged ptlsoners of war. Apart
from such trilling nnd fnlrlj obvluitx ex
ceptions, u slilp sailing under the colors
or pass of the enemy may always be
taken either In our own waters or on the
bight se.i. It is when a vessel Hies a
neutral this that difficulties begin. If tho
noutiul Man was holstpd nboard an enemy
ship without a bonntlde sale nnd delivery
to a neuttnl, completed by the payment
of the purchase money, there is no trans
fer of property, ami the enemy ship Is an
enemy ship still.
A Bain, a ship, the undoubted property
of a neutral, may be violating her neu
trality. She may have committed a
breach of blockade. She may havo abso
lute contraband on board goods, that I?
to say. that aro deemed specially ndapted
for warlike purposes. Or she may be
conveying conditional contraband STOods
fit.dej.d conua1 nd bv thr ti!j, a desti
nation. If a i ciitrn: ship Is bound for an
otdln.ti cmutif icl.il poll, a uir-jo not
special! warlike will bi pn-Mmv d not to
be Intend, il to aid n belligerent out to
be intend, il for civil use onl. whet "lis If
the ik-tm.itinu be a military ot nava'
,tf .ttt'ii inc. ise! opposite toncHiMon
"i lie ii..'i" ll
JMoirn' t. t'ie neutral ship may lose
r ihar.Tter by conveying military or
,ivnl officers or carrying a belligerent's
spatches. In such events she Is liable
lUallv with the avowed enemy to be cap
Vrcd anywhere except within the tetrl
jirial waters of a neutral State.
, Thee are a few of the points that may
connected with the eapturo of a ship
-t sea. Hence tho importance of tho
,ule that the matter shall by brought
promptly Into court for adjudication, so
hat tho vessel may be condemned If her
:apture was rightly made, or that re.nl
.utlon may be ordered In the event of
any mistake having been committed Thy
hearing Itseli is necessarily mute unlike
any ordinal y legal proceedings. Dlfter
ence of language, distance and the lm
practlcabilitv of collecting foreign wit
nesses for cross-examination are all fac
tors which help to put anything like nor
mal legal methods out of the ipiestlon.
Accordingly, a series of simple tests
or rule-i have been laid down relating
to tlj ship papers. the character and
.destination of the cargo and the answers
of thu"o on boatd to tho Interrogatories
put to th-m. If these rus havo been
transgiisscd th presumption is agnin.it
the ship and she Is condemned In the
absence of contrary proof in her favor,
which, of course, It is nearly always Im
possible to give. On the oilier hand, If
1 tho rules have not been transgressed the
presumption Is the other wav, suspicions
are disregarded and the captive goes free.
Evni:xcn FOR CONVICTION.
It will be seen that tho ship papers
the books, pa-sen, i hnrter papers, bills
of lading, lettets. and so forth found on
b iarJ aro of the greatest importance if
tho shl, is to be convicted out of her
own mouth." Where the papers make
significant reveUtlons, or where there
Is a discrepancy between tho papers and
the ship's cargo, the evidence against the
ship miiv be even more damning than
that afforded by the character of the
cargo or the statements of her crew. It
is. therefore, one of the first duties of
the e.ipto t secure all the pnpurs and
uriange and number them, and when tltf
prize has ben brought Into pott tie
papers are handed over to tho custody of
the registry of the prlzu court.
As soon .is a ship la condemned It U the
ruoperty of the Crown, und It was as
grantees of the Crown that the captois
.if rich prizes in the old days were en
liiued by tho spoil. The system, however,
worked uufalily to the navy as a whole,
for tne a tual captors w-re ordinal ily

adopted, and it U to be hoped fiat In its

but will oniy provide for their more

Prize court are still suotect only to
their own sovereigns, iielllgerents are
cole Judges in their own cause, and, It
Is not surprising that their decisions havo
often been disputed b neutrals. To
avoid these dltllculties and the necessity
of getting over them by such cumbrous
expedients us, mixed commissions at the
end of a war, various plans for an inter
national court hae been turmulated, and
lu 1WI, at The Hague conference, after
endless discussion, a convention was act
ually frumtd The rule to be applied,
however, remained the subject of such
t'oultlctltig liews that it was not prac
ticable to set up the court.

Tho spot on which 150 Continental sol
diers wore killed on September SO, 1JT7, was
unmarked for forty years, save for pile
of stones heaped over their graves. On
September 20, 1817, tho Republican Artiller
ists, aided by many cltizeitb of Chester
and Delaware Counties, erected a monu
ment to mark the spot.
Un that occasion Major Isaac D.
Uaruard dellevered an historic account
of tho event and Rev. David Jones, then
Si years ago, also gave u vhld account
of the massacre and Ills narrow escape.
He was chiplaln of the regiment and
was at Paoll on tho eventful night.
Twenty-three acres wero purchased by
the military organisations of Chester and
Delaware Counties, and for years the
grounds were used for military drills and
parades. L'ach year, until the Civil War,
the event was appropriately celebrated.
The binall marble shaft, erected In 1517,
was, however, much battered and de
spoiled by vandals and relic hunters and
during the Cull War tho monument and
grounds were greatly neglected, ilut on
September 20, 1S77, a larger and better
monument was erected neir the old one.
This memorable anniversary celebra
tion and raising of funds for the new
monument was largely due to the ener
getic efforts of the lato Doctor J. Ii.
Wood, of West Chester. The new monu
ment bears the same inscriptions as Un
original shaft, erected In 1517.
After the battle of Ilrandywine, Gen
eral Washington feeling that ono more
effort, at least, should be made to pre
vent the occupation of Philadelphia by
tho Hritlsh army of General Howe, after
retreating to Chester, massed his
forces and took up a position Iti tho
Chester valley, and on the IGth of Sep
tember marched to near Goshen Meet
ing House to give battle.
A terrible rainstorm ruined the powder
of the Continental army, und they were
forced to give up the fight, although a
skirmish had taken place and several men
wero killed. It was then, as the Urltlsh

CITY'S WORK MUCH HELPED
BY NEW MOTOR APPARATUS
Introduction of New Equipment
Under Mayor Dlnnkenburg.
One ot the principal achievements of
tho Ulnnkenburg administration has been
the adoption of motor-driven lire appa
ratus, motor-driven police vehicles and
automobiles for prompt and efficient con
duct of the city's affairs In other bu
teatis, notably in supervision of highways
and tho water system.
A report made public by City Controller
Walton today shows that, Instead ot the
11 cars in city service at the beginning
of tho piestnt administration, there are
now 71 motor-driven vehicles devoted to
city woil:.
Thirty-two of these cars have been pur
chased for the fire bureau of the city.
Tho standard of the city's ilre-fighting
force,' nototlously antiquated with Its
horse-drnwn apparatus at tho beginning I
of tho Ulaukonburg administration. Is i
now Improved by tho Installation of the
modern gasollne-drlven equipment.
Additional protection has heen afforded
agalnn lire that will ultimately bear an !
Influence on insuranco rates. One big
modern aerial hook and ladder truck,
propelled by gasoline power, cost $11,100
Compared to this present-day flre-tlghtlng '
cnslno this apparatus In tho department ,
at the beginning of the Rlankenburg ad- '
ministration was of pigmy proportions.
In the Rurcau of Police ten motor- ,
drivi n rnrs havo been purchased fur
patrol wagon duty In tho outlying se, -
tlous. Thes-o greatly facilitate the regu
lar visits of the police lleuteuantsof the
distant districts to police headquarters in
the Cltv Hall.

may have takon moro upon horsclf than
was warranted nnd may hnve Judged tho
case not to 'bo a fit ono for the hospital
