president OF George Washington Uni
|yersity. and to the Digest of 1nterna-
tional Law" by John Bassett Moore, as
authorities.
News dispatches in regard to the con-
voy appeared to show that although
the Arabic had gone out OF harbor un-
der convoy, the destroyere which had
acted in this capacity had turned back
before the ship actually was attacked
voying ships were still in sight, and
If so. whether that would qualify the
nature OF the offense of the German
naval commander were questions which
officials did not care to pass upon in
advance.
Takes Character Of Convoy.
A search for presidents shows that
Stockton's authorities deal with the
question of convoy of neutral vessels.
but the principle is laid down that
merchant ship partakes of the char
acter of her convoy Incidentally. 1t
developed today that the United States
has a treaty with Prussia Of 1855. re-
vived in 1928. and held to be still in
force with Germany, which shows a
mutual right of protection and con-
voy to each others vessels against
common enemy. John Bassett Moore's
authorities also deal largely with con-
voys of neutral ships. but he also lays
down the principle that merchant
vessel partakes of the character of its
convoy.
The attack on the Arabic caused general
surprise in Washington, particularly in
view of the fact that no hint has come
from Germany that her naval command
| ers would continue torpedoing ships with
| out warning and despite frequent reitera-
ton in German circles here that in the
| future warning would be given. Of1cials
had hoped that the already tense situa-
ton between Germany and the United
States would be no further aggravat ted.
No reply has been received to the last
note of the United States to Germany,
| sent just a month ago tomorrow, in which
| the United States warned Germany
against repetition of attacks such as that
| of the Lustania.
Will Not Take Up Claims.
The decision of the United States
government to refuse all claims for life
and property lost aboard ships tor
pedoed with due warning was made
clear yesterday afternoon when it be-
| came known that a claim in the case
! OF John Wall, a muleteer. killed when
the Armenian was sunk, would not be
taken up by the State Department.
The State Department holds that
there can be no legal claim in cases
like that of the Armenian where ample
warning was given and the ship refus-
ed to obey when subjected to shell fire.
The Arabic and Lusitania cases, if it
is true that the Arabic was not warn
ed, are therefore regarded as different
from that of the Armenian.

One authority said there l is always an outbreak of murder after an execution.

CHARGE GERMANS
 VIOLATED TREATY

Paris, August 9.-(5:45 p. m.)-A report of the Belgian committee Investigating violation of international law. issued to- day by the Belgian legation here, alleges violations ythe Germans of article 52 of the fourth The Hague convention.
 Examples cited cover alleged German attempts, first by offering wages as high as 20 marks (about s5) day, and finally by force. to compel Belgian civilians to
 work in arsenals, on railways used for military purposes and in wire factories. The report gives details of alleged viola tions at Luttre. Malines and Swedehem and quotes the text of an order declared to have been signed by Lieutenant Gen oral Count Von Westarf, the German commander at Ghent, dated June 10, in part as follows:
 ''The attitude of certain factories which under the pretext of patriotism. relying on The Hague convention. refuse to work for the German army proves that among the population there is an inclination to raise difficulties for the administration of the German army. In this connection, inform you that will suppress such maneuvers by all means in my power.
