WILSON TO THE
WARNING POWERS
His DisapprovaI of the Dropping
of Bombs.
ON THE UNF FORTIFIED CITIES
President Notified U. 8. Represen.
tatives In Europe To Carefully
Convey His Views To
Warning Nations.

Washington, ID. C.-President VII
son has communicated unoficially to
the diplomatic representatives of the
United States in the belligerent coun-
tries OF Europe his ~dlsapproval of at
tacks by bombs from air craft dropped
on unforti6ed cities occupied by non
combatants.
The President was careful not to
take the matter up officially, and did
not even make his communication
through the State Department, but
personally addressed the American am
bassadors abroad. The President
took this course, it just became known,
nearly two months ago. The facts
came to light through the publication
of a report that the President had dis
cussed the matter with European diplo-
mats here. This, however, was de-
MED by some of the prominent diplo-
mats mentioned in connection with 1t,
including the German Ambassador.
Just how the American diplomats
abroad were to convey President VIII
sons feeling in the matter to the
foreign governments has not been dis
closed, as White House officials, de-
clined to discuss the subject.
1t is believed here, however, that
the President called attention to the
article in The Hague convention of
1907, to which all the principal bel
ligerents were signatory, which pro-
vides for notice of "a hours before
b~ombardment or atatck In order that
non-combatants may remove them
selves from the danger zone.
1t is not believed that the Presi-
dent mentioned any specific violation,
but expressed his views on the general
subject Of aerial attacks. Through
unofficial character of the communica-
ton 1t vas intended by the President
to bring about a better understanding
about aerial warfare without actually
involving the American government in
the matter.
It is supposed that the American
diplomats used their good offices, con
s%equently. in a personal way with the
belligerent governments, without per-
haps ever mentioning the fact that
they were doing 80 at the request, of
the President. as such methods of OBJ
tanning u desired end are not unusual
in diplomacy.
