II shall have to use some very plain
language. 1t did not come upon us as
q surprise that war has been carried
on by Germany with systematic viola
ton of all the conventions and regu.
lations under which, by international
agreement, it was thought to mitigate
warfare. She has now taken a further
step by organizing an undersea cam
paign Of piracy and pillage.
"Can we-here l address myself to
neutrals-sit quiet as though we were
still under the protection Of the rules
of civilized warfare? l think we can

the German theory Of blockade and
asked:
where is the German fleet?"
It had been seen on he sea only
twice since the wal began, he said,
and the object in both cases was
murder and wholesale destruction OF
property and undefended towns"
"The plain truth is that h German
is not blockading, cannot block
ade, and v will blockade the Eng
lish shore" the premier continued.

France and Great Britain, however,
will not involve risks to neutral yes.

There is no form Of economic pressure

VIII Prevent Shipments In or Out
of Germany.
POLICY OF ALLIES Is ANNOUNCED.

Premier Asquith Tells the World that
He Proposes to Stop All Shipping to
Germany, and that Although Neutral
Vessels Will be Arrested, as to What
Will Be Done With Them and Their
carsoes Remains for Further De-
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-03-02

Tor the Sa1ety OF the crews Ol Ller-
chant vessels, whether neutral or
enemy an obligation on every belliger-
ent.
1T is upon this basis that all pre-
yious discussions Of the law for regu-
lating warfare at sea have proceeded.
A German submarine, however, fulfillS
none of these obligations; she enjoys
no local command Of the waters in
which she operates; she does not take
her captures within the jurisdiction OF
a prize court; she carries no prize
crew which can be put on board a
prize; she uses no effective means or
discriminating between a neutral and
an enemy vessel; she does not receive
on board for safety the crew n pas
Sengers of the vessel she sinks; her
methods of warfare are therefore en-
tirely outside the scope Of any inter-
national instruments regulating ope-
rations against commerce in time OF
war. The German declaration substi-
tutes indiscriminate destruction for
regulated capture. Germany is adopt
ing those methods against peaceful
traders and non-combatant crews with
the avowed object Of preventing COM
modities of all kinds, including food
for the civilian population, from reach
ing or leaving the British Isles or
northern France.
Her opponents are therefore driven
to frame retaliatory measures in order
in their turn to prevent commodities
of any kind from reaching or leaving
Germany.
These measures will, however, be
enforced by the British n French
governments without risk to neutral
ships or to neutral OF non-combatant
life and in strict observance OF the
dictates of humanity. The British and
French governments will therefore,
hold themselves free to detain and
take into port ships carrying goods of
presumed enemy destination, owner
ship or origin. 1t is not intended to
confscate such vessels or cargoeS I'M
less they would otherwise be liable to
condemnation. The treatment of YES
sells which sailed before this date will
not be affected.
That is u reply"
The reading of the statement was
interrupted frequently with loud APP
plause.
Admiral Lord Charles Bresford in
vited the premier to state whether
Germans who engaged in submarine
attacks or raids on unfortiied towns
and were captured, would be tried for
murder. Mr.. Asquith declined to give
any definite assurance, but said:
No doubt the government will
take into serious consideration what is
the status under international law of
persons engaged in this campaign"
Referring again to the submarine
warfare, the premier said:
Il may say that the suggestion
which has been put forth from Ger
man quarters that we have rejected
certain proposals or suggestions made
to two powers by the United States is
untrue. All we have stated to the
United States so far is that we have
taken this matter into careful consid-
Grafton, in consultation with our al
lies.

1T STANDS ALONE
S'The Messiah" Is Pronounced
Greatest OratOriO Extant.
Was Sung First in Dublin, Ire
land, April IL, 1912.

THE Messiah" Handel's great ora
torio which will be sung at the audi
torium tomorrow night by a chorus of
$50 voices of the Topeka Musical Art
society, is universally accepted as the
greatest oratorio ever written. 1t has
been produced hundreds of times in
England and America since its first
presentation in Dublin, Ireland, April
IL. 1742. Its most elaborate presenta-
ton was in London some years ago
when it was sung by a chorus of 400
voices. For the past IT years it has
been sung by the Swedish chorus at
Lindsborg, Kan, numbering some 500
voices.
THE Messiah represents the ma
ture thought of its author. Handel
wrote it in 8 days at the age of 81
1t is said that while directing its first
presentation in Dublin he was most OF
the time in tears and more than once
was almost overcome with emotion.
The oratorio is in three parts and is
the life of Christ in inspiring music
The first deals with the world-longing
for a Messiah and a prophecy of His
coming; the second with His birth,
sufferings and exaltation; the third
with mans immortality and his final
victory over death.
The first presentation was given for
the benefit of prisoners in the Dublin
jail who had been incarcerated for
debt, as mark of the authors appre-
clation of the reception that had been
accorded him in Dublin, where he was
visiting at the time. An advertise
ment of the forthcoming presentation
requested ladies to come without
hoops" and the men to leave their
swords at home, so as to increase the
charity by making room for more
company. At the presentation in Lon
don year later King George, patron
and intimate friend of Handel, was
SO affected by the great "hallelujah
chorus" that he and the queen arose,
the audience with them, and remained
standing until the last note of the
chorus had died away. Thirty-three
other presentations of the oratorio
were made during Handlers life.
Handel died at a ripe age, after a
blindness of several years. He was
one of the most prolific composers
that ever lived, his total works num-
bering nearly fifty.
Seats are selling at a rapid rate for
the presentation of THE Messiah to-
morrow night. The stage and boxes
are being arranged today by a force
of carpenters and the last full rehear
sal will take place tomorrow after
noon. The performance will begin
promptly at o'clock Thursday night.
Seats on sale at Guilds.
