Berlin Delays Action
on LeelanaW Sinking

Berlin, Aug. g.. No reports are yet
available regarding the cases of the
American steamship Leelanaw and the
British steamers Iberian and Orduna,
sunk or attacked by German sub
marines, and the latest exploit of a
submersible resulting in the capture
of the American shin Pass of Bahama.
The United States is interested chiefly
in the lberian and Leelanaw. Reports
from the submarine commanders are
not expected for ten days.
The German government believes the
Leelanaw case will be a parallel to
that of the American ship William P.
Frye, sunk in the South Atlantic. on
January Is, by the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich.
A second category of maritime cases
also is occupying the attention of the
American Embassy and the German
Foreign Office. These arise from the
action of German warships in the Bal
tic bringing the American ships Port
land and Dunsyre into Swinemunde.
The Portland, an oil-burning craft,
was released after examination, but
she used so much fuel in the extra
"trip that she cannot reach her destina-
uon. Inc fOftland cannot get OIL IN
Germany. The Dunsyre was loaded
with peas and beans A Sheriff
seized her cargo. saying that it be-
longed to Germans.
The Dunsyre, although under Brit
ish register until November, 1914, has
been owned by an American firm in
San Francisco for five years. The
Portland is owned by the Globe Grain
and Milling Company, of Los Angeles.

JAPAN SUPPLIES GOLD
FOR ALLIES MUNITIONS
Europe's Shipments to Sub
Treasury Now Largely Yen.

Washington, Aug THAT Japan is
supplying the Allies with gold for the
purchase Of arms and ammunition in
the United States is believed probable
from the fact that large amounts OF
japanese yen have been included in
the shipments of gold sent 10 New
York by the governments OF the Allies.
The amount of gold bearing the
mintage marks OF the Japanese govern
ment is very large. and yet is no in
dication Of the total amount which
Japan may be supplying, as England,

gold TO be used for the purchase of

and send British minted gold to this

The fact that the yen pave been re-

of special interest. in view of the re-
ports that Germany is flirting" with

GERMANY DESPAIRS
OF RUMANIA'S AID
ReVentlOW Warns That
Nation may Join En-
tente Powers.

/ Berlin, Aug. A warning that moth
: ing can be expected from Rumania is
conveyed to the readers OF the Der.
liner Tages-Zeitung" in an editorial
this morning by Count Ernst Revent-
/ low. His article, which is headed "Ru-
/ mania's Falling Quotation" summarizes
the situation in the following para
graph:
Those friendly relations with Ru-
mania made sacred by tradition, and on
the German side by firm confidence,
can hardly longer be considered as ex-
isting."
Count Reventlow points out Ru-
mania's refusal to permit exports Of
grain or to permit ammunition for the
Turks TO pass through its territory,
although Russia was permitted to
transship munitions TO Serbia He
says it had been hoped that Rumana
would fulfil its treaty obligations, or
preserve at least an upright and well
( wishing neutrality, but that the con-
/ trary came to pass. Rumana's neu-
trality became "malevolent," he asserts,
with a tendency to enter the connlct
on the side of Germany's enemies:
The Importance of Rumania's aid TO
, Germany and Turkey has been greatly
/ lesscned. however, Count Reventlow in
sists. Before Russia's Galician defeat
Rumania would have been a military
factor in cooperation with the Musko-
yites. he says, but that time is past,
ard her military and political value as
an opponent Of Germany is vanishing.
The period when Rumania could be
considered a leading factor in the de-
velopment of the Balkan States has
gone BY, the article declares.

GERMANY DENIES
BREAKING TREATY
Continued from page

tention is given in the note as Articles
40 and so of the Declaration Of Lon
don, which, it says, were recognized
by the delegates OF all nations, includ-
ing the United States, to be declara-
tive of existing international law.
Declaration Of London Cited.
Germany points out that at the be-
ginning of the war the United States
sought to have the Declaration of Lon
don adopted as the law governing the
present conflict 1t SAYS nothing, how
ever Of the fact that the United States
withdrew this request soon after it was
made.
The sinking Of the William 7. Frye
is justified in the German note on the
ground that the cargo consisted Of
conditional contraband. the destination
of which for the hostile armed forces
was to be presumed under the circum-
stances. and no proof to overcome this
mas DttI u
saws that more than half of the cargo
was contraband, so that the vessel was
liable to contiscatIon.
"The attempt to bring the American
vessel into a German port would have
greatly imperilled the German vessel
in the given situation of the war; the
note says, land, at any rate. would
have practically defeated the success
of her further operations. Thus the
authority for sinking the vessel was
given according 10 the general princi-
pies of international law"
After disposing of the question of
international law in this manner, the
note says that there remains to be ex-
amined only the question of how far
the Prussian-American treaty stipula-
tions modify these principles of inter-
national law. and adds:
Article l3 recites the following
means whereby the bclligcrent party
can prevent the vessels of the neutral
party from carrying var supplies to
his adversary: The detention of the
ship and cargo for such length of time
as the belligerent may think neces-
sary: furthermore, the taking over of
the way stores for his own use, paying
the full value of the same as ascer-
tanned at the place of destination.
The right of sinking is not mem

toned in the treaty and is therefore
neither expressly permitted nor ex-
prcssly prohibited. so that on this
point the treaty stipulations must be
supplemented by the general rules Of
international law. From the meaning
and spirit Of the treaty IL really APP
pears out of the question that II was
intended TO expect Of the bclligerent
that he should permit vessel loaded
with contraband for example, ship
ment of arms and ammunition OF de-
cisive importance for the outcome OF
the war to proceed unhindered to his
enemy when circumstances forbid the
carrying of the contraband into port,
as the general rules OF international
law allow sinking Of the vessel.
THE remaining stipulations of Ar
ticle IL must likewise be considered in
this light. They provide that the cap
tain Of a vessel stopped shall be al
lowed to proceed on his voyage II he
delivers out the contraband to the war
ship which stopped his vessel. Such
delivering out cannot, of course, be con-
sidered when the ensuing ! ). of time
imperils either the warship herself or
the success of other operations. In the
case of the William p. Frye, the Ger
man commander at flrSt tried TO nave
matters settled by the delivery of con-
traband. but convinced himself OF the
impracticability of this attempt, in that
it would expose his ship to attack by
whatever superior force of enemy war
vessels was pursuing him, and was ac-
cordingly obliged to determine upon
the sinking of the Frye. Thus he did
not exceed on this point the limits to
which he was bound by Article IL.
However, Article IL asserts itself
here to the extent that it POUNDS the
obligation to compensate the American
citizens affected, whereas, according to
the general rules of international law,
the belligerent party does not need to
grant compensation FOR a vessel law
fully sunk. For, if by Article 10, the
mere exercise Of right of highways
makes the belligerent liable for com
pensation, this must apply fortiori to
the exercise of the right of sinking"

TAFT'S TO ESTABLISH AN
ARbITRAL COURT AND PEACE
LEAGUE TO PREVENT WARS
Former President Speaker at the Worlds Court
Congress at Cleveland
Fundamental Plan
OF Peace League

Following is former Presi-
dent Taft's idea of what
should be the fundamental
plan of the peace league:
ain the first place it ought tc
provide for the formation Of a
court which would be given juris-
oiction by the consent Of all the
members Of the league to consider
and decide justieiable questions
between them or..,Sany of them
which have not yielded to ne
sotiations according to the prin-
ciples Of international law and
equity SO that the court should be
vested with power, upon the ap-
plication Of any member of the
league, to decide the issue as to
whether the question arising is
justiciabIe.
Second: A Commission Of Con-
Citation for the consideration and
Recommendation Ct solution of
all non justiciabie questions that
may arise between the members Of
the league should be created, and
this commission should have power
to hear evidence, investigate the
causes Of difference, and mediate
between the parties and then make
it's recommendation for a settle
ment.
Third: Conferences should be
held from time to time to agree
upon principles Of international
law, not already established. as
their necessity shall suggest them
selves. When the conclusions Of
the commission shall have been
submitted to the various parties to
the Leaeue%for a reasonable time,
say a year, without calling forth
obiection. it shall be deemed that
they acauiesce in the principles
thus declared.
"Fourth: The members Of the
League shall agree that if any
member Of the League shall begin
war against any other member OF
the League, without first having
submitted the question if founo
| justiciabie to the arbitra court
provided in the Fundamental com
pact, or without having submittea
the question if found non iustiei-
able to the commission Of conciIia-
| ton for it's examination, considera-
ton and recommendation, then the
remaining members Of the league
agree to join in the forcible de-
fence Of the members thus prema-
tureiy attacked
