DODGING THE BLOCKADE,
In the Prize Court in London the Pre sident, Bir Sampel Evans, under the pro- visions of the Reprisals Order in Coun cil, directed the sale and detention in court of the proceeds of a large number of goode of Austrian and Gorman origin despatched through the parcel post for South America.
Adverse criticism has been made with [reference to our Ministry of Blockade in connection with the supplies of food- stuffs by neutral countries to Germany, There has been a revival of the attacks on the department. in consequence of state- pient by The World.

These Gigures are formidable, and to them must be added considerable quan- tities of other foods that are collected in sunt portions, and taken into Ger many in bulk Agents have purchased eocon in packgin si retail shops, and, by a regular system of extensive buying. have accumulated valuable supplies. La the meantime, the critics pomt oul, the exports to our shares from Holland have diminished. It is urged that the remedy is to stop the raw material from going into neutral countries that supply Ger many, to stop fodder from going to Holland on the assumption that it will feed pattle that will ultimately go to Germany.
It must be borne in mind that goods may go straight into Germany from Holland and Denmark without sea risks, and that Germany will outbid us is price forevery article. The Dutchman with goods for sale has the choice between an easy ani od mrket and a difficult market atower price. The Dutchman is sub ject to the laws of human nature. But, say the critics, if the supply of fodder is conditional upon goods in return, that will compel the bringing of food to this country instead of to Germany. In sentence, they call. for what is termed "a real blockado." This is not the simple course that may appear, as the following statement made by a high authority to a representative of The Daily Telegraph on July 3rd may show.

nany has been notoriously considerable; indeed, it has been a matter of coastant observation for months, it is of course, food pruteed by the outral countries No any of themselves.
Laur articles enumerated weré imported by the neutral Guntries, and is very much to he hoped that the United States will see the way to put pressute upon those countries to prevent the continuance of what is going on. It would be a great mistake to minimise the importance of the quan- ties of fund going in from the neutral. because it is a serious matter, hal, eyca if the figures as stated are accepted, the supplies thus obtained amount to suf Brent to feed 2,500,000 people for a year. Take those figures, and remember that the ponulation of Germany and Austria over 100,000.000. As à antler of fact, something like nine-tenths of the amount of food imported into Germany before the war has been stopped.
With regard tu the comparatively swall parentage still going in, the dif culty of stoppling it has been that it has been produced in the nettia! contries and has not passed through the blockade at all. It has to suggested more than once that it could have been stopped by depriving the neutral countries concerned of all imported food and fodder staffs. The direct action of such a step is not quite certain, because, although the depri vation of imported fodder would no doubt a considerable reduction of the agri- cultural produce of the neutral country, yet it might well be that she would elect to send the whole of her produce into Cer many instead of part to this country, and the net result might be that Germany would be no loser.

these neutral countries would be a very powerful persuasive argument, and might be expected to produce an important change in their attitude towards Geriat trading, bus the difficulty in utilising it up to now has been, that if the fodder stuffs destined for the neutral countries had been put into the Prize Court here the only way they can be dealt with--the Prize Court would certainly have released them unless it could be shown that that fodder was actually destined for Gir
It would be necessary to prove maity: that it was destined to feed animals part of whose produce would, or might, go to Germany. That would not be regarded as evidence of enemy destination, and be British Government would therefore have had the humiliation of being defeated in their own courts, apart from the fact that their attempt to stop the insports con- cerned would have been ultimately in- effective.
"The case of the United States is, of course, entirely different. They are sell- ing their own products, and are entitled to make any condition they like, upoä their sale. They may say to any neutral You shall not have our maize, country,
or other cereals, unless you will under take not to supply this or any article of food to Germany." Blockading opera tions can only proceed according to in ternational law, and that law requires that before goods arrested can be con demned they must be put into the Prize. Court. That makes the real difficulty of taking many of the steps that are so light- ly recommended by critics."
The parcels were seized on neutral ves- els at Kirkwall, and examination reveal- that they contained a variety of
including cutlery, ornamental jewellery, kloves, bone buttons and photographic apparatus. The parcels, it was discover- ed. were sent from various places in enemy Bountries to firme nt. Gothenburg: where the originul labels, were defaced är removed and fresh ones substituted, on which the nations of Bris in Buenos Ayres were placed. and the parcels were then sent through the post as consigned from Gothenburg. The postal censors, however, enme neross letters from the ori ginal consignors to the consignees in. South America, enclosing invoices and in- dicating how the goods were being sent. One such letter from & Bremen firm stated! that they had wireless information that thousands of parcels had gone through in this way.

.**THE OUTCAST.”
The
At the Theatre Royal this evening the Frawley Company will present Outcast, a love story of modern life by Hubert Henry Davies, in which Miss Eva Lang is the dominant figure.
The play met with a splendid reception in Shang, hai, where it was given on six nights, and it is expected that it will prove equally popular in Hongkong. Miss Lang has appeared in the title role on more than
thousand occasions, having taken the leading part in London, New York and on tour, and everywhere her acting has received the highest encomiums from the crities. The story tells how the outcast is taken in hand by a man disappointed in love and for a year is given every- thing but the status of a wife. From a slangy, badly-dressed, recicless creature of the streets she becomes an accomplished and beautiful
wonian. The crisis is reached when her protector wishes to turn again to the woman who previously re- fused his offers of marriage.
