States American View
With Distinctness
ny HANNIS TAYLOR,
Former United States minIster to Spain,
and noted an authority on
International INV

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May 13.-Hav-
ing been requested to read carefully
the note sent by tho Secretary Of
state to tho American Ambassador Mt
Berlin and to interpret the same in
the light Of existing international law,
do not hesitate to say that. in my
Judgment. 1t states the American case
against Germany with distinctness
which cannot be misunderstood by any
one familiar with the language of
diplomacy.
The crux of the whole matter is this:
II merchant vessel OF a belligerent
Is loaded down with contraband Of
the most dangerous character. the
only penalty she can possibly incur
under existing international law is
capture as prize by the enemy On.
such vessel n neutral passenger has
certainly all the right to protection
guaranteed by international law to
ono of the belllgerent crew. After the
vessel has been made n prize. IT cannot
be destroyed under any circumstances
until the safety of the lives of all on
board, belligerent md neutral. has
been provided for For that simple
reason, II is Impossible for submarines
to be employed lawfully in a capture
of merchant vessels. for the safety OF
whose crews 1t cannot provide before
destruction.
Let me give practical Illustration
drawn from the acts of Admiral
Semmes who did so much to destroy
the merchant marine of the United
States during the Civil War. While
he burned many such ships. after pro-
viding for the safety of the crew, he
never claimed the right OF destruction
unless that could be done. When n
case arose in which he could not pro-
vide for those on board OF n prize. he
invariably released her, requiring only
bond from the captain, payable TO
the Confederate States in the event II
established their Independence
AS Admiral semmes was very
learned international lawyer. he knew
and admitted that prize can never be
destroyed until the lives of all on
board had been first provided for.
That is the great proposition which
has been so clearly defined in the note
of our Secretary of State. That Is the
Issue which Germany must meet under
the law Of nations. which does not and
cannot admit that under any circum-
stances can a submarine destroy on
the high seas an unarmed merchant
vessel. until she has been first made
n prize.
As prize she cannot then be de-
stroyed until the safety of all on board
has been provided for.

point of vantage from the enemy.
In the afternoon strong French at

Neuville were repulsed. with very
heavy losses to the enemy. The viii

Carency. were. however. evacuated
last night. Unfortunately. on this
occasion a number of our brave
men and much material again were
lost.
French attempts to recapture n
section of their trenches which we
took from them northwest of Berry

tiors were again cleared Of all
Frenchmen. 4 number of prison

The army under General Won
