SHARLOW, „ . Hotary Public. (The Re-Union is dated o n Satur- day, but is printed and mailed on Fri- day afternoon.) NOT WITHOUT PRECEDENT. If military necessity should reqiiire it, neutral vessels found within the limits of \belligerent- ! authority may be seized and destroyed or otherwise -used for military purposes, but- in such eases the owners o f the neutral •vessels must be fully-r.ecoinpensed . The above is. the sect-ion of the law •which'appears in the United States' naval'war code o f 1900, which applies to the seizure o f the Dutch ships. Acting- under it this country has tak- en them, and thereupon Holland has made a vigorous protest, which , by the way, if not entirely prompted and promoted, i s at least industriously aided and abetted 6y the Germans. The latter realize of course that the more ships the United States has on which to send over men, munitions and food the more definitel y will their doom he. sealed, and the mora quickly . Holland has endeavored to carry water, o n both, shoulders,, and is - in rather a ticklish place an d awk- ward predicament. It will in no way suffer, however, by the seizur e o f these ships. - * There i s nothing- ii'ew or strange, unusual or without precedent in svieh seizure. A good authority o n this subject recalls the fact that in tlie war. of 1870 Bismarck improved the opportunity to act under precisely, such .a provision. He not onl y did this, but went further, and declared that \even i n time of x>eace, necessity may render the employment v or de- struction of foreign property ad- missible under the - reservation of in- • demnification.\ There i s ample precedent and indisputable justifica - tion in international law fo r com- mandeering neutral ships within the Juridiction of the country which needs them. This government might have taken ove r the Dutch ships some time ago, hut it waited until such ' jiroeedure became absolutely neces- sary. It needs them now, an d their owners are losing nothing, because they could not \ise the boats, them- selves , and they will now get a dollar for every dollar's worth from, the United States, which government i s certainly good pay. Naturally the Germans are inciting- Holland t o pro- test as long and loudly as possible, but no one believes for a minute that the kaiser would have held'oJD as long under similar circumstances. \to take -tlie initiative land file an affidavit showing that the mail or men whose labor is needed on his farm come within the specifications of tlie provost marshal general. \If farmers whose hands are af- fecte d in this new call, \ says the United States employment service,of flicdepartment of labor, \fail* to, foi^ low this advice , they' should, h'aVe no cause fo r complaint if their men are taken from them at . tlii s critical time.\ ' ' In other words', i t isjip to the.farra- er to show that he needs the man tP help produce food 'more , than , the 'army needs \him for- figlyting. ftyAyt' his affidavits are-satisfactory, lie wil l keep his .help.. ,.,; , \ , ,-,.-, •yg* 35 LOCAL DEMOCRATIC GOSSIP , ^^ By Eugene E.

Despite the fact that'trout brooks are now made torrents of muddy wa- ter , Saturday, the opening of the trout season, will see several fisher- men whipping these streams with their rods i n the hope o£ capturing a few brook trout—the first of tlio season. Most of the experienced • trout fishermen are not planning to begin their season unti l the high water subsides and conditions become more propitious fo r angling fo r these wily little fish. , There are a number i n Watertown however, who pride themselves on being out the first day of the season every year, and.these wil l endeavor to b e on the banks of the trout streams i n this county this spring and summer, lee rovers the Adirondack lakes and ponds at the present time, so that trout fishing i n them will b o de- layed . A report from John M .

Ai>JttTS TiircpT, i\.y\''S- $50 J?IS-.W ASSISTANT FO\. W'VWW' The Deinocratic leaders in a joint ..atement ,coming out o f the legisla- ture have exposed the extravagance of. four year s of Whitman as reflected i n the annual appropriation bill , which- totalle d -^.?79,0'00,000,\ despite the fact.aiia t the legislation chopped Off close.to $1,000,000 fro m the or- iginal estimates made b y 'Governor: Whitman,! The leaders find that the annual appropriation' bill carrie s a total.of.JKJ.O-OO.OOO and when this is added t o the other appropriations, which have already\ been made, or which wills b e ma'de' before th e close o f the present session;'there will be grand tota l of not less than $79,000,-, 000 i n -round • numbers. The $1,- 000,00.0, Which was referred.but not saved by cutting out the governor's tentative appropriation act , tlie re- construction and resurfacing of high- ways has been more than offset by other item s of appropriations, which have sinc o been added. Under the administration of ' Governor Glynn four years ago, the appropriations for the state government were held down to less than $48,000,00 0 and no direct tax. was imposed. The in- crease in four years, with Whitman over Glynn, will therefore b e a t least .^31,000,000. This increase more than equal s the entire cost of the state government ($29,000,000) un- der Governor l-Iughes just te n veal-s ago. •'• V Yard Conductor Also Makes 'Rc.stitii- vtite—.fail Sen'tenee Suspended 'I v ^- - ' -,.
