The Hague Correspondence Of
The Associated Press THE large
number of foreign avators who day
after day come tumbIing out Of q
cloudy sky into the territory of the
Netherlands have drawn attention to
the absolute lack OF Legislation regard
ing shipwrecked aviators.
International law and the law Of
various nations have regulated th1
rights Of foreign men OF war who are
forced TO seek a temporary refuge into
a neutral port. The foreign warsliu
may repair the damages it has SUFFERED
and it may take on board sufficient coal
to sail TO the next home port. If
German cruiser should suddenly ar-
rive in a Dutch harhor she would be
given coal enough to reach Emden. the
nearest German port A British ship
would be sent 20 HarwiCu All this is
generally understood as an establish
ed rule Of war But when a foreign
aviator, through lack of gasoline is
obliged 10 land upon neutral territory
he is iuterned for tine rest of the
war Apparently he does mot come
under the class OF the warships, fer
in that case he would obtain few
cans of Oil and would be given a chance
10 fly home. In the same way II the
flying machine were given equal rights
with the varship, a broken machine
might stay upon neutral ground 10 or
der to get repaired before ir once more
took to the open sky. In times to come
all this may be regulated. bot 40 the
present time a number of aviatof7
walk around in Dutch sud Danish ana
Swiss fortresses and express thsH
opinion Of a rule which TO them seems
entirely unfair.
When an aviator lands In the ssA
and he is picked up by neutral hsa-
ing or merchant vessel he may 60
home freely. If, however. he is picked
up by torpedo boat Of neutral ma
ton, that neutral nation is obliged 70

rule, however. only counts for ava
