"It is in the highest degree regrettablement, to obtain clearance papers for their that international law should have been ships violated in every direction during this war," began Baron von Richthofen. The violation of the neutrality of Luxemburg is justified from the juridical point of view by the tacit consent of the Luxemburg Government, and by the fact that it accepted an indemnity, As to the viointion of Belgian neutrality, this is not the moment to discuss it. The initiated long knew that the Belgian Government fad delivered up its country, and had chosen to take sides in case of a Franco-German war. Belgium has no right to complain of her fate, whatever formu that fate may have taken."

In-reply to an inquiry what the Imperial Chancellor meant by saying that Germany was doing wrong by her invasion of Belgium, Baron von Richthoren said: "The explana tion is very simple. The Chancellor was well aware of the doings of the Belgian Govern- ment, but he hoped at that moment to induce Belgium to come to an understanding, and his regret was merely expressed by way of preparing the future."

The first indictment charges a spiracy to defraud the United States by causing collectors of customs, by means of false statements, to make untrue records.

The conspiracy, the indictrcent reads, was formed on August 1st last to cause the stearaship Berwind and other steam ships to be chartered in the name of the Hamburg-American Line and loaded with coal and other supplies, and cleared with the purpose of having them go to various places at sea to meet with aid deliver the cargoes to other ships belong ing to a foreign nation.

The phrase quoted last is considered Significant, marking as it does the only reference through the indictments to the alleged meetings of the chartered vessels with the German cruisers in mid-ocean.

CAUBE FALSE RECORDS TO DE-MADE

To carry out the plan mentioned, the indictment charges that the defendants unlawfully, wilfully, corruptly and feloniously conspired falsely and incor- rectly to state and to have stated to collectors of customs of the United States, by means of false manifests, verified on oath, the kinds of articles carried and their value."

In furtherance of the alleged con- spiracy, the indictment adds that Koetter on August 5th, 1914, asked John H. Got of the Gans Steamship line, to clear the
