maintaining that it is impossible the

Discussing Germany's promise not
to modest American vessels the Times
correspondent argues that under in

an exception in favor Of Americans,
she must make it apply also to 9TH

Danger to Submarines

Danger to Submarines
Among naval officers it was pointed
out that the threats Of the German proc
larnation against enemy merchantmen
found in the war zones il carried out by
submarines would entail considerable
danger 70 the submarines themselves,
especially if they attempt 70 follow pre-
vious.y recognized rules OF war in board
ing d merchant ship ard taking of its
passengers before destroying the vessel,
The appearance OF submarine, It
was pointed out would mean its in
slant destruction by most OF the big
merchantmen, which carry small guns.
There is no room aboard a submarine
for passengers from merchantmen
and unless small boats are nearby, the
case OF imperative necessity so often
advanced in international law it was
said by naval officers may Develop an
entirely new situation in connection
with submarine warfare.
The LQsitania incident evoked a
speech in the House by Rep. Martin
Of South Dakota. who announced he
favored legislation at this session 10

make i. an offence for the master Of
any foeign vessel, whether beiligerent
or neutral TO fly the American flag
over ship. He said the penalty
should be confiscation of the vessel
and fine for the commander in event
the ship returned 10 American juris-
dicti0n. The state department today
issued a denial Of reports that Am
bassador Page had telegaphed the BIZ
fish government after having secured
the owner Of the cargo Of the Wilhel-
nina would seize all cargOes Of food
stuffs destined TO Germany without
making compensation therefor
The department said this was an
error. as the ambassador had not dis
cussed the matter Of compensation
for such cargoes as may be seized"
The general understanding in eX-
ecutive quarters is that the British
government still intends TO seize all
cargoes Of foodstuss destined to Ger
many, though whether there will be
compensation is not known.
