Judgment of Neutrality Board is Awaited Before Government Frames Its Reply to Great Britain. AVASHIXGTOX, March 20. After a prolonged discussion Friday by Prcs't Wilson and the cabinet of the British order In council, blockade in the abstract and concrete, and rights of American citizens to deal freely with neutrals and to belligerents, it was asserted that no reply or communication to the allies in whole or in part had been formulated. CMlieials repeated significantly Friday that the main question is whether or not there is a blockade, and they hold a blockade, and especially the present "blockade" is a question of fact and not of law. To determine this government'! future attitude on the modern blockade it is necessary to pet the judgment of the neutrality board of which James Hrown Scott, a former member of The Hague council, is chairman. Wih him on tho board are expert naval otficers. In the meantime, however, the navy views of the blockade aro being discussed daily between experts of the navy department and of the state department. Is Question of Tact. "It is manifest," said an official Friday who will have a great deal to do with the formulation of the reply to Crcat Britain, "that the present blockade, alleged or actual, cannot be eemsidcrcd from any international view point of modern times. We therefore must not begin with law but first determine what is the extent and effectiveness of the new British constitution. When we know that, we will be able te say whether or not cordons of cruisers can operate from the English channel all around the globe with any degree of justiticatinn. If we are able to say to C.reat Britain that this is not a blockade then we liave created a main issue to which she will be expected to give a positive answer." Bart of the time the cabinet meeting was taken up by statements made by Mr. lledtield, secretary of commerce, giving the amount of trade In the beginning of the war. It was apparently on this statement that the report became current after the cabinet meeting that some of the cabinet numbers entertain the view that the United States would not bo very hard hit after all. as even under the order in council the United States will still be able to deal freely with France, Knglaml and Itussia. Wilson lias Xo Bower. ! The paper was formulated by Counselor Lansing and in part follows: ; "Neither tho president nor any: executive in tho United States possess '.lie le-al authority to interfere in. any way with trade between the pro- ; pic of this country and the territory i of a belligerent. There is no actof congress conferring such authority; or prohibiting tratlie of this sort with , K;opean nations, although in tli1 c ase of n-dgliboring Ann rican republics cor.gr ss has Iven the president power to proclaim an embargo on arms and ammunition when in Ins judgment it would tend to prevent civil strife. "Fur the government of the United States itself to sell to a belligerent nation would be an unnatural act but for a prrvato individual to sell to a belligerent any product of the United States is neither unlawful nor unneutral, nor within the power of the executive to prevent or control. "The fotagofng remarks, however, do not apply to the outfitting or furnishing of v, cs-ds in America:; ports or of military expeditions on American soil in aid of a belligerent. These acts are prohlbted by the neutrality laws of the Fnited States. "Pepartmcnt of state. October 15, IM I." HODGE srBMAUINE. HALIFAX. N. X., March le.

Dealers in Cancelled Ones Belligerent Nations Doing Profitable Business Rising Prices. NEW YORK, March 19. According to the Berliner Tageblatt, the European war has raided greatly the value of postage stamp collections, and dealers in cancelled stamps from the belligerent countries are doing a very profitable business. There is a frenzied demand for stamps at present, and every postage stamp collector is making a special effort to get stamps of those countries engaged in the war. Stamps which have been used since the war started are rising in price in the market. Iiclglan Stamps I'xliausted. The pretty stain n of Belgium, containing the portrait of King Albert and the little perforated coupon below containing the inscription, "Xot delivered on Sunday," now are no longer to be had. Collectors all over the world made a bid for them and high prices were given for these stamps. The small quantities in Belgian postotlices, which were seized by the German government, were sold quickly, the greater portion of them going to dealers in cancelled stamps. They were replaced with stamps of the Gert man empire of thrc, live, 10 and 20 pfennig value, also stamped in black ink with their equivalent value in French coin, three, live, 10 and 2 3 centimes. Rod Cross Stamps. Germany has not issued any lied Cross stamps, but Belgium and Franco have issued them in large lots. The French stamp contains a little emllcm of the lied Cress. A 10 centimes stamp printed in red costs 15 centimes. The French Moroccan stamps are similar. Belgian Bed Cross stamps liave an especially neat design, for which the post office charges double the value. Austria, Hungary and Bosnia have issued special war stamps designed for charitable purposes. For collectors these stamps are not of grat value, though they were immediately sought after for a time simply to complete collections. The Belgian Tc-stoffieo administration, whoso headquarters at present is in Havre, has 'ssucd Bed Cross stamp. One series is worth mentioning. It represents Belgium's heroic defer -e, while the B. Igian i!air is seen he.d aloft above a bittalion of Belgian soldiers. The stamps of th belligerent countries now in use will increase n value, fir with the coming of peace no doubt b.jundarv lines will be materially changed and new stamp issued, so thct the so-called "war stamps" will in the future form a unique and valuable collection.
