ROOT OPPOSED TO
NATIONAL ALLIANCES
Says Christian Church Has Urged
Peace for 19 Centuries With
out Results,

Washington, Dec. 2S.--ln the real
restraint of nations by powerful inter
national tribunals, operating under a
defiitc code of laws, alone lies hopes
of world peace, Elihu Root, former
secretary Of state and senator from
New York, declared tonight in an ad
dress. He was speaking before a
joint session of the subsection on in.
ternational law from the rPan.Ameri-
can Scientific Congress and the Amer.
ican Society of International Law, of
which he is president.
"The Christian Church has been
urging peace and good will among
men for 10 centuries and still there
is war" said Mr.. Root.
ALLIANCES and ententes and skillful
balance of power all lead ultimately
to war. Cancellation, good will, love
of peace, human sympathy, are all in
effective without institutions through
which they can act. Only the pos
sibility of establishing real restraint
by law seems to remain to give effect
to the will for the vast majority of
mankind.
when this war is ended, the civil
lied world will have to determine
whether what We call international
law is to be continued as mere code
of etiquette or is to be real body of
laws imposing obligations much more
definite and inevitable than hereto.

Now, the situation after being dor
mant nearly two weeks, is again be-
ginning TO take on an aspect OF a
crisis, the status Of the negotiations
Of the United States over submarine
warfare against merchantmen. not
with Austria alone, but with the 'Teu-
tonic powers and allies is command
ing attention.
Diplomatic Failure. ~
Although Germany has given ! the
United States assurances that she
will conform to the principle Of visit
and search before attack, the practie-
es against which the United States 50
vigorously contended.. are, being -caa-
ried on now BY her ally; Austria. and
1T has been charged that the Austrf3n
submarines are in some instances fur
inished by Germany,and in others are
lofticered and manned. by the German
navy. Such a situation it is being
pointed out amounts to a defeat. Of
the submarine negotiation with Ger
many.
Lusitania A Factor.
Furthermore, the impasse In the
Lusitania negotiations becomes a fac
tor in the situation. 1t is admitted
that the United States scarcely can
require Austria to conduct submarine
warfare in its relations to the rights
of the neutrals in a manner different
from that permitted to Germany.
The demands Of the United States
upon Austria, in connection with the
Ancona case, is broader. than any
Germa admission, being based upon
the contention that international law,
the Hague conventions, and the DE-
claratio Of London all require warn
ing before sinking a vessel, and in
surance Of the safety of the passen-
gers and crew, even when the vessel
is of belligerent ownership and where
she does not comply with German
ideas of the term liner. '.''~-
To Justify Actions.
Unless the expected note from" that
government should amount to a total
and sudden severence Of diplomatic
relations, it is expected in official
quarters that the Austrian foreign
office will seek to justify its methods.
Expect Note This Week.
The answer of the ilus us:ro4Hungarl-
an government to the American gov
ernments note concerning the sink
ing of the, Italian steamer, Ancona,
is expected this week. Frederick C..
Penfeld, the American ambassador,
had not received the reply up to Mon
