As a matter of fact, plans for the pro- tection of all the principal coal de- pots on the PaCific as well as on thal' Atlantic had been prepared in peace times, and the necessary guns and troops required of these plans assigned to their sev- eral positions So although ample protection has been provided for all the country's important coal depots, it has oy accomplished expeditiously and quiet- ly without attracting much atte The heaviest and most modern ord- nance in the country has been post ed in carefully selected posi guarding the various coaling st s and coal ports, and they are in charge of some of the best artillery- men in the Canadian service, Ample magazines of ammunition have been supplied and forces of in- fantry detailed to support the bat- teries, and altogether nothing has been left undone to guard the coal depots from attack The coastal coal depots, east and west, have, in fact, been quietly transformed into strong uefensive positions armed with powerful guns, GUARD © GIRL SMOTHERED IN WHEAT Climbed Into Bin and Was Drawn In- to Spout.

No Cause to Fear Stoppage of Coal or Foodstuffs--No International Regulation to Prevent, Export of Goods. Ottawa, Aug. 14 The question has been raised in various parts 'of Canada as to what effect the war con- ditions in Canada and United States neutrality will have upon the in- terchange of commodities between these countries. The fear is expres sed 'by many that there will be a ces- sation of the export from the United States of such materials as are gen- erally regarded as contraband. .of war. It is contended, for instance, that if the United States should vide Canada, a belligerent. nati with coal, then the former country would be contravening = the condi tions of neutrality. The same con- tention is made-in connection: with food stuffs, and fear is expreased that in consequence the price of coal and other commodities will rise. The contention is not upheld .by authorities in international' law at the capital. There is no international regulation, treaty or agreement in connection with the conditions of neutrality which will prevent an- thracite coal or any other kind of coal being brought inte Canada from the United States. The same applies to foodstuffs and other ex- ports The government of a npetitral state is under no obligation to prevent the shipment from its territory of goods even if they be guns and rifles. Capture during transportation is the only penalty. According to eminent authorities the only manner in which a nation itself may be guilty of contravention of the laws of neutrality is, first, by the construction and equipment within its boundaries of war vessels for the use of a belligerent, and sec- ond, by the enlistment of soldiery for service in a foreign army. For the transport of ~ontraband to a bel- ligerent nation only the individual exporting of material is responsible, and the only penalty is the confis- cation of the goods. It will be seen then that the risk of capture is one of the strongest factors entering io- to the question of contraband. In the case of the United States and Can- ada the risk of capture by land trans- portation, 'especially across an in- definite boundary line, is very re- mote , In the declaration of neutrality is- sued by President Wilson of the United States on August 5th no m tion was made of the export ot commodities in the list of actigus upon which the United States will impose a penalty as being dn.
