Remarkable Photograph Shouting
End of a Battle of Dreodnouphts

The most remarkable ,photograph I'm the
history of the world was made during the
last moments of the doomed German
cruiser Bluecher. just a few minutes be
fore il completely capsized and sank fol-
lowing the first battle between dread
naughts.
Despite the fact that German dirigibles
hovered overhead. dropping bombs. the
British cruiser Arethusa stood by to res
cue such of the crew as might be found
floating in tho water after the Arethusa
had fired the torpedo which settled the
Bleucher's fate. Having converted the
great cruiser into a floating mass of junk
its decks an inferno, the British battle
cruisers left 1t to the mosquito" fleet and
continued the pursuit of the other Ger
man battle cruisers which had been
caught in the North Sea, evidently bent
upon another raid upon the English coast.
The photograph OF the dying Bluecher
was made by an officer from the deck
of the Arethusa a few seconds after that
vessel had discharged the fatal torpedo.
With hundreds of it's heroic crew dead
and wounded, while hundreds more calmly
faced death, the Bluecher after floating
for a brief time on itB side, keel out of
water. turned deliberately over. For a
space OF perhaps ten minutes IL floated

Kansas Loses Case
Involving Taking
Liquor Into State

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Kir-
meyer liquor case, one of the first i'm.
portance to the prohibition laws Of Kan
sas, was decided in the supreme court
today against the state.
1t was alleged that after receivers had
been appointed to oust various wholesale
liquor dealers from doing business in
Leavenworth, Kan. NJ. Kirmeyer went
across the river into Missouri, estab-
lished warehouse there, and continued
TO. deliver beer in Kansas. The Kansas
supreme court held that his removal was
a mere device to evade the Kansas LIQUOR
law and that the trade was not interest ate
commerce "in good faith"
The supreme court held that Kirmeyer
was entitled. under previous decisions OF
the court. to protection for his trade as
Interstate commerce and dismissed an in
junction issued by the Kansas supreme
court.
Justice McReynolds stated in the opiu-
ion that the kirmeyer case arose before
the passage OF tho Webb-Kenyon law pro
hibiting shipments from wet TO dry fer
ritory' and that neither its construction
nor application was involved or would
be passed upon. Advocates Of the Webb
KENYON law claim that measure would
apply to such cases now.

The British ambassador. on in

fact after he had delivered the Anglo
French communication concerning
reprisals and. the holding up Of neu-
trail shipping to and from Germany
Text of Note.
Following is the full text OF the British
note with which that presented by the
French ambassador is practically identi-
call
Germany has declared that the En-
glish channel, the north and west coasts
OF France and the waters around the
British Isles are a war area and has Off
cially notified that all enemy ships found
in that area viii be destroyed and that
neutral vessels may be exposed to danger,
This is In effect claim TO torpedo at
sight without regard TO the safety Of tho
crew or passengers 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 attack
can only be delivered by submarine
agency.
Law of Nations.
"The law and custom OF nations in re-
gard TO attacks on commerce have always
presumed that the first duty Of the captor
OF a merchant vessel is to bring 1t before
a prize court where II may be tried where
the regularity OF the shipper may be chal-
lenged and where neutrals may recover
their cargoes. The sinking OF prizes is in
itself questionable act TO be resorted
to in only extraordinary circumstances
and after provision has been made for the
safety Of all the crew or passengers
III there are passengers on board. the
for discriminating between
neutral and enemy vessels and between
neutral and enemy caTgoes obviously rests
with the attacking shipper, whose duty Il
Ii to verify the status and character of
the vessel and cargo and to preserve all
papers before sinking or even capturing Il.
So also is the humane duty Of providing
for the safety of the crews of merchant
vessels, whether neutral or enemy, an
obligation upon every belligerent.
Basis of Discussion.
1T is upon this basis that ali previous
discussions Of the law for regulating war
are at sea have proceeded. A German |

hese obligations; II enjoys no local /
ommand OF the waters in which It oper-
