COLORADO MILITIA ILL TREATED MINERS. SAY INVESTIGATORS
Scathing Arraignment of State Troops Action Dur ing Recent Strike Is
 Made By Committee

Washington. March LA scathinw arraignment of the Colorado militia for its treatment of striking miners and their families Is made by the congress sional subcommittee which fnvestf- gated conditions in the Colorado coaI mines fin report today. While scor- ing conditions generally in the coal fields and criticixine many of the acts of the mine operators, including alleged violation of state laws, the House com mittec reports no evidence was found of conspiracy i'm restraint of trade to limit the output of the mines, nor conducive proof of the existence of peonage.
 The miners. strike was settled long before the committee completed it's re- port No specific recommendations are made. The committee appeals, however, for arbitration in such situations. It de- clares these disturbances are nation-wide in their importance; that the federal gov ernment is the only power competent to deal with them, and after referring 60 tho testimony of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who disclamed responsibility for Colorado conditions adds:
 Absent owners or directors by their absence from the scene of such disturb ances cannot escape their moral respon-

FARM CREDITS BILL
 HOLDS THE HOUSE IN LATE NIGHT SESSION
Both Houses of Congress Struggling to Clean Up Slate for Adjourn
 ment Thursday

Washington, March 1.--Both houses of Congress worked until q latc hour tonight, administration leaders strain- ing every resource to expedite Iegis- jOurnment Thursday noon.
 Rural credit IegisIatfon as an amend- mcnt to the agricultural appropria ton bill held the House fin session far into the night. The senate, after deyotinG second day to appropriation tangles in the 1I,OOO,OOO Indian supply bill, laid the bill nside this evening for an executive session md to take up gen- eraI calendar bills.
 A compromise on the naval building programme was one of the important developments of the day. Conferees agreed to two submarines of the sea- going type. and 16 coast defense sub marines. The House bill had provided for but one sea- going submarine and II of the coast defense type House conferees yielded to the Senates de- mand for the 16 coast defense vessels, but would not agree to five of the ocean-going type Neither would the House conferees agree to the Senate proposal for a new hospital ship and 2 new gunboat The provision for two battleships was unchanged
 Tomorrow the conference commit tee will meet to further consider sec tions of the bill relating to abolition of the plucling board and establish ment of an advisory board on aeronau- ties.

American note seeking to solve the situation growing out of Germany g declaration of a naval war zone, was hs.nded to Ambassador Gerard at Der lin today and Premier Asquith, in his speech. said that Great Britain and her allies were still considering care fully the American note to them on the same subject. That the British gov ernment had rejected the proposal, he declared, was quite untrue"
 Cost of Warfare
 The tremendous cost of modern war fare, which the premier estimated now at $7,500, 900 daily to the allies alone and likely to grow to $S,600,o00 or more by April was the theme of that part of the address not dealing with the blockade The premier gave these fig ures in asking for a supplementary vote of credit, making total of s1,S10,O00,0ot to prosecute the war to March 31, 1915, which the House unanimously granted
 The entire struggle with Napoleon cost England only about S6,155,000, 00t and the South African war only s1,- 055, 900 900, according to MT. Asquith.
 Before the premier had finished the newspapers were on the streets pro. claiming Our Answer to Germary' il pig letters and it was apparent every where that the entire nation had beer chafing for reprisals against the sink ing of merchant craft by submarines

 DECREASED TROOPS
 ON WESTERN FRONT
French Claim Kaiser Has l.SS0, ,000 Men Opposing the Allies and 2.0s0.000 In the
 FaA.

Paris, March i.---(4stb D. m.) Ut is untrue that the Germans have fewer men on the allies front now than they had in January says an official note issued today
 "Only one German army corps was taken from the allies front, and this was replaced later by other forma- tions. It Is true Field Marshal von Hin- denhurg's offensive was carried out with strong achievements but these were made up of now formations and those taken from sections along the eastern front.
 The German army fought the battle of the Mazurian lakes with reinforce ments of six army corps. The total number of German corps on the east ern front is 80, to which should be added Austrian forces numbering 22.
 "on the French front tho Germans have q army corps. These figures have not varied since December"
 As an army corps consists of 10000 men. the figures of the French govern ment indicate that there are 2.0s0,000 Germans and Austrians on the eastern front and 1,sso,ooo Germans on tho western front

enemy vessel; she does not receive on board for safety the crew and pas sengers of the vessel she sinks; her methods of warfare are therefore en- tirely outside the scope of any inter national instruments regulating opera tions against commerce in time Of war The German declaration substitutes in- discriminate destruction for regulated capture. Germany is adopting those methods against peaceful traders and the noncombatant crews with the avowed object of preventing commod- ities of all kinds. including food for the civilian population, from reaching or leaving the British isles or north ern France.
 Her opponents are therefore driven to frame retaliatory measures in order In their turn to prevent commodities Of any kind from reaching or. leaving Ger many.
 No Risk to Neutrals
 "rhese measures will, however, be enforced by the British and French gov ernments without risk to neutral ships in strict observance of the dictates of humanity. IQe 6rltlSn ana rTencn kOV- ernments will therefore hold them selves free to detain and take into port ships carrying goods of presumed enemy destination, ownership-or origin. It is not intended to confiscate such vessels or cargoes unless they would otherwise be liable to condemnation. The treatment of the vessels which sailed before this date will not be af- fected.
 "That is our reply"
 The reading of the statement was interrupted frequently with loud cheers. Admiral Lord Charles Beresford in- vited the premier to state whether Ger mans who are engaged in submarine attacks or raids on unfortified towns and were captured would be tried for murder MT. Asquith declined to give any definite assurance, but he said; ] "No doubt the government will take ! into serious consideration what is the status under international law of per- sons engaged in this campaign
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-03-02

The premier emphasized, however, that vessels and cargoes so seized were not necessarily liable to confiscation, and begged the patience of neutral countries in a step likely to injure them He added that in taking such a step the allies had done so in self Hefense
 Moderate Under Circumstances
 "we are quite prepared" he went on. ''to submit to the arbitrament of neutral opinion and still more to the verdict of impartial history, that In the circumstances in which we have been placed we have been moderate, , we have been restrained; we have ab- stained from things that we were pro- voked and tempted to do, and we have adopted a policy which ommends it. self to reason, to common sense and to justice"
 Every member of the House not at the front in khaki or unavoidably de- tained was in his seat and there was frequent cheering. The galleries were packed. When the premier concluded his set statement and. turning te tho speaker. said, '"rhat, sir, is our reply" there was tremendous outburst.

Washington, March 1.-Republican senators tonight opened general fight against confirmation of Pres ident Wilson's nominees for the fed cral trade commission and continued it so tenaciously that administration leaders after two hours abandoned the executive session for the night without a vote.

ASOUITH READS PLAN TO HOUSE OF COMMONS
Premier Frequently Interrupted With Cheers by Members of House As He Reads Text of Measures-No Risk to
 Neutral Ships or Noncombatants

London, March 1.-The decision of the British government to adopt re- talistory measures against Germany was set forth in formal statement which Premier Asquith read today in the House of Commons. The premier prefaced the reading with these words: sThe statement declares in sufficiently plain and unmistakable terms the view we take, not only of our rights but of our duties"
 The statement is as follows;
 Germany has declared that ths Eng fish channel, the north and west coasts of France and the waters around the British isles are a war area and has officially notified that all enemy ships found in that area will be destroyed and that neutral vessels may be ex- posed to danger. This is in effect a claim to torepedo at sight, without re- gard to the safety of the crew or pas sengers. any merchant vessel under any flag. As 1t is not in the power of the German admiralty to maintain any surface craft in these waters this at tack can only be delivered by sub marine agency.
 Regarding Captures
 The law and customs of nations in regard to attacks on commerce have always presumed that the first duty of the captor of merchant vessel Is to bring 1t before a prize court where 1t may be tried, where the regularity oi the capture may be challenged and where neutrals may recover their car goes. The sinking of prizes is in it. pelf questionable act to be resorted to only in extraordinary circumstances and after provision has been made fol the safety of all the crew and passen- gers. If there are passengers on board the responsibility of discriminating be- tween neutral and enemy vessels, and between neutral and enemy cargo ob- viously rests with the attacking ship whose duty it is to verify the status end character of the vessel and cargo and to preserve all papers before sink. ing or even capturing it. So also. ii the humane duty of providing tor thu safety of the crews of merchant yes sels. whether neutral or enemy. an ob. iigation on every belligerent.
 Tt is upon this basis that all pre- vious discussions of the law for resu. lating warfare at sea have proceeded A German submarine, however, fulfilli none of these obligations; she en5oyi nc local command of the waters h which sho operates; she does not take her captures within the Jurisdiction oi ! prize court. she carries no p ize cress which can be put on board q prize she uses no effective means of dis. prAn1hatinG between . nsutral apd ez
