Prof. James W. Garner of the Univer- sity of Tilinols sald German authorities were among those who had most vigor- ounly defended the right of a neutral nation to sell munitions to a belligerent. “The practice has uniformly been in accordance with the rule which recog- | nizes an entire consistency between the |#al, of arms and the obligations of neutrality,” sald Mr, Garner. ‘‘The as- sertion that Germany prohibited sale and exportation of arms to Spain during the Spanish-American war {5 without found- ation.” That munition traffic presents extraor-| dinary and preposterous snoralies was stated by Prof. Philllp Marshall Brown of Princeton university, citing the neu- not war supplies. “The Interests of neutrals,” said Prof. Brown, “when they clash with the press- ing necessities of belligerents sink into relative insignificance, The United States is being made to r o that neutrals must in some instances either endure conaiderable Interference with their in- terests or else fight “Belligerent (nterests take precedence over neutral Interests. It is impossible for a neutral In varylng fortunes of war to remaln friends of both belliger- ents, It cannot observe a ‘benevolent’ neutrality and remain truly neutral, Ignominfous neutrality will be treated with just contempt as the refuge of & timid, selfish people.” Action of Germany in selling quanti- ties of arms to Great Britain during the Boer war, although Ger.oan popular opinion was wit, the Boers, was cited by Charles 8, Brand of l.ew York as an inconsistency of the present German dis- approval trade. the of American munitions The Store for Shiffwalsts" Presents a Showing of Many New Blouse Styles N --Styles for Saturday-~ -<The newest creations of world known designers; Blouse fashions that are dainty, delicate shadings and colors, soft appealing fabrics. ~«These styles are wanted by women who desire the Choicest of Clothes.
