tain" the president in the Tampico

Makeshif Merchant Marine of

the London naval conference In 1909.
at which the representatives Of 10
naval powers were present, the pre-
vious practice was sanctioned and
the following rule adopted: The
transfer of an enemy vessel to a
neutral flag, effected after the open
ing of hostilities, Is void unless II is
proved that such transfer was not
made to evade the consequences
which the enemy character Of the
vessel would involve"
Though the results Of this confer
ence were never ratified by the ma
lions. yet this rule represents the
practice OF the nations hitherto. From
It the conclusion Is clear that the
belligerents would not be bound to
recognise the transfer made under
these conditions. An English or Ger
man vessel so transferred, II met
upon the high seas by man-of-war
Of the other would be liable to cap
ture and the purpose Of the law would
be thereby defeated. Should the
United States buy the vessels from
the belligerents, they would be safe
from capture as vessels Of the Unit
ed States itself, but there IL grave
doubt whether the validity or such q
transfer should be recognized by the
opposing belligerent.
In the passage of the law, and still
more In the purchase Of vessels from
the belligerents, the United States
would not be living up to the highest
ideals of neutral duty, for she would
be facilitating an act which the law
of nations has long frowned upon;
the attainment Of merchant marine
under such conditions Is not to our
credit and will not be to our profit In
the long run. The only justification
OF the step will lie In the general &C.
quiescence on the part OF the bel
ligerents because Of the worldwide
arrangement Of trade and the need Of
each and every belligerent for the
products Of this country.

Calling in the Subordinates

While Mr.. Bryan, the secretary Of
state, was talking to rs or 80 newspa-
per correspondents in his once. he
half reclined against HIS big mahog-

ference an intimate and familiar air.
The conversation, however. was slight
|ly disturbed by terrific hubbub In
the anteroom.
One after another. chiefs Of divi-
sions and chief clerks came bounding
into the anteroom as II they were IN
pursuit Of their last hope of salvation.
One OF Mr.. Rryan's secretaries, anx-
ious to maintain quiet In the outer
room while the great diplomat COM
municated to the journalists the NOV
ing truths about Mexico and other
foreign countries. asked all the sub
ordinates to explain their haste and
hubbub.
'Mr. Bryan sent for u.s." they re-
piled In unison. and out Of breath. "He
wants us right away"
They were 80 insistent that the
secretary went into the sanctum. Aft
.er surveying the situation carefully,
he approached Mr.. Bryan, and let this
diplomatic whisper fall against the
diplomatic eardrum:
