SEES CHANGE IN WAR LAWS
James Bryne, New York, Addresses
Virginia Lawyers

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va.
Aug. 7-"Probable Changes in ths
Laws of War was the title Of tho
address of James Bryne, of New Iori
before the Virginia State Bar AS
sociation yesterday morning. Mr.
Bryne treated his subject from law
ycr's standpoint, without leading tt
any beligcrent. He evoked applause
with the statement. II have perfect
confidence that so long as President
Wilson is at the helm, whatever oW
Government should do will be done
and done calmly, considerably anC
courterously.
He dwelt on the decisions Of the
United States Supreme Court in the
Bermuda, Springhok and PeterhoI
cases, which held that the Govern,
ment of the United States had tho
right to seize neutral ships, as we'll as
their cargocs destined to neutral
ports, il it could be shown that the
voyage to neutral port was part o.!
a continuous voyage to Il Confederat"
port. OF these decisions, he, said,
Great Britain had already reminded
the United States. Nearly all the
European nations protested at the
time against these decisions, but
Great Britain. did not protest. and IN
the South African war maintained the
same doctrine against shipments TO
the Beers through Delagoa Bay.
The speaker sketched the ursuc-
cessful attempts of Great Britain at
several Hague conferences to have the
law of contraband repealed. The pro-
liable changes in the law of war, he
said, would be that the law Of con-
traband would disappear and along
with it the right of blockade.
After the announcement OF the
standing committees for the next year
the association adjourned. The an
nual banquet was held last night.

ENGLAND ANXIOUS
London Paper Warns Country OF lis
Peril

London, Aug. THE Morning
Post, in an editorial on the Russian
situation, says:
owe would warn the country that
the situation is serious. Whatever
professional apologists may say, it
is certain that Russia has not fSllen
back from Warsaw for any other rea-
son than the urgent dictates of neces-
sity.
1.-The great enveloping movement
of the German armies on the north Is
not yet over. 1t is at present being
developed.
SITS movement most dangerous
and formidable, and it will take all
the wariness and skill of the grand
duke and the magnificent steadiness
of the Russian infantry to escape the
tolls set for Russia's armies by the
great strategists who direct the Ger
man offensive.
"The cause of the entente powers
at present is on knife-edge. There is
no assurance anywhere save only In
that faith which presses forward
through dangers without looking
to the right hand or the left.
'We are in front of ! situation
where the only safety lies in doing
the very utmost Of which q nation is
capable. 5"

CARRANzA MAKES
PEACE PROPOSAL
i Ms
Note Submitted to Lansing
to be Laid Before
Conference i
SIGNIFICANT MOVE
Armed Intervention, it is Said, VIII
Not be Regarded With Favor b.
Latin America.

Washington, Aug. General Car
rama has submitted to Secretary Of
State Lansing formal offer to enter
into peace negotiations with General
Villa.
The offer was contained in Il brief
submitted to the Secretary of State
by Charles A. Douglas, CarranZa 10
cal attorney with a view of having
it laid before the Pan-A American -Mexi-
can conference.
Although Mf. Lansing declared
that he did not present ii TO the con-
ference, it is regarded as significant
that shortly after the brief reached
Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff Of the
United States army, he was ordered to
the border to confer with Villa, and
that the Pan-American conference ad-
journed without making a final de-
cision on the Mexican policy.
The offer of General CarranZa was
as follows: ANY citizen of Mexico
who, in good faith. has suggestion
TO make for the welfare Of the coun-
try, | and others concerned in the
Government will gladly hear and con-
fer with him.
There has been no time when Villa
or the commanders acting under him
could not have obtained conference
with Obrcgon or our other comman-
ders in military way. We are ready
70 confer with any Mexican element
for the welfare of our common coun-
try, but we must not yield or throw
to the winds the victory which now
enables US to realize the aims Of the
revolution.
When the next meeting Of the con-
ference will be held in New York,
has not been announced. It will de-
pend. it is believed. on how soon the
being made by Gen. Scott, and can
being made General Scott, and can
hear from their. governments as. to the
laid before them by Mr.
Lansing.
Last, but not least, the conferees
at their next meeting will expect Mr..
Lansing after conference with Prcsi-
dent Wilson to have his proportions
in far more definite form than they
have yet appeared.
A question uppermost in the minds
Of the Latin Americans relates to the
course which the United . States is
prepared to follow should the agree
ment among the conferees: fail to OBJ
tain favorable response. from Gene
raj Carranza. Nearly all Of these Dip
lomats now concede that CarranZa,
from military standpoint, is well
prepared to defy the United State. to
the point of inviting armed interven-
ton by the United States. Armed
by the United States,
ne diplomats have been assured their
respective governments, will not be
regarded favorably by Latin Amer
ica.
