RIGHTS Of PASSENGERS
ARE BEING DISCUSSED
International Lawyers Asked What
Becomes Of Neutral Voyagers if
Liner Is Taken as Prize.

Concern for the fate of the passen-
gers of the Lusitania and other liners
making a dash across the Atlantic at
this time, when they are liable to cap
ture. has flooded the State Department
and authorities on international law
with inquiries as to what belligerent
vessel would do with the passengers
one of these liners was taken as a war
prize.
The proposition is stated something
like this: Suppose a British steamer
with a large number of passengers
aboard was captured by German YES
sci; that the German vessel was pur-
sued, and, as military necessity. to
avoid the British steamer falling again
into the hands of the British, it became
advisable to sink the ship. what would
happen to the passengers?
1t is conceded that the passengers
would be taken off the captured vessel
before it would be sunk, but with the
German ship pursued and unable to
make a home port. the question arises
would she be justified in sailing the high
seas for any length of time with these
passengers aboard, regarding whose fate
many relatives and friends would be
anxious?
Would Be Forced to Leave.
II the capturing vessel made for a
neutral port to land the passengers she
would be forced to leave again within
twenty-four hours and could take aboard
only sufficient coal to take her to the next
port she wished to make. Then as soon
as she left the neutral port and got out
three miles she would be liable to attack
from the pursuing enemy.
Attorneys who have for years made a
close study of international law and are
considered experts on the subject say
there is nothing in the code to govern
procedure on this point. State Depart
ment officials refuse to discuss the sub
ject.
Students of international law say that
the capturing vessel would not want to
sail for any length of time carrying a
considerable number of passengers, for
they would have to be fed and would en-
cumber the crew for action. They say
there is no question but that If the vessel
was unable to make a home port where
passengers of hostile nation would be
held as prisoners Of war, and II of a
neutral nation be treated as aliens. she
would proceed to an American Or other
neutral port, and disembark the passen-
gers.

Infection and Insect Bites Dangerous.
Mosquitoes, flies and other insects,
which breed quickly in garbage pals,
ponds Of stagnant water, barns, musty
places, etc., are carriers of disease.
Every time they bite you, they inject
poison into your system from which
some dread disease may result. Get a
bottle of Sloan's Liniment. 1t is anti
septic and few drops will neutralize
the infection caused by insect bites or
rusty nails. Sloan's Liniment disin-
