ADDENDUM
The grounds upon which the decision is put render unnecessary the discussion of some other interesting questions suggested.
As to the exception to Interrogatory Twentieth, brushing aside all technical points, I am satisfied that the withheld answer relates to matters irrelevant to the issues here. It certainly cannot be expected, in war time that an American court will ask for the disclosure of information deemed confidential by the British Admiralty nor can I see any good reason for delaying a decree until some future date when the information may be forthcoming; for it seems to me that no matter what other general advices of the Admiralty may have been given prior to May 7, 1915, the result of this case must be the same.
