Submarine Activity Considered.

Much consideration has been given
by the naval conferences to the newly
developed activity of submarines.
1t is frankly admitted by these naval
officers that the old form Of blockade
by warships close to an enemy coast
passed with the investment of Santiago
in the Spanish-American war. Accord
ingly, in the message of inquiry to
Great Britain and France asking for an
explanation Of their recent declaration
of an embargo, the United States con-
ceded that the activity of submarines
might make physically impossible q
close blockade of an enemy coast, and
suggested that if the declaration OF
the allies were to be construed as a
legal blockade, some radius Of ac-
tivity" be announced.
This principle of a radius of action"
or AREA of operations for b1ockad-
ing fleet was the subject of much dis
cussion at the international naval con-
ference at London in 1909, and the
declaration which followed contained
the following rule:
THE seizure of neutral vessels for
violation of blockade may be made only
within the radius of action Of the ships Of
war assigned to maintain an effective
blockade"

Remote Seas Never Included.

'The radius of action of blockad-
ing naval force may extend somewhat
far, but as 1t depends on the number Of
ships contributing to the effectiveness
of the blockade, and is always limited
by the condition of effectiveness. 1t will
never reach remote seas upon which
merchant vessels sail which are. per-
haps, destined for blockaded ports. but
whose destination may be contingent
on the changes which circumstances
may produce in the blockade during
their voyage.
ITO sum up, the idea of radius Of ac-
tion, joined to that of effectiveness
that is to say, including the zone of
operations of the blockading forces-al-
lows the belligerent to exercise in an
effective manner the right of blockade,
which is admitted to be his, and. on the
other hand, it saves neutrals from ex
posure to the inconvenience of block
ade at a great distance, while it leaves
them free to run the risks to which
they knowingly expose themselves by
approa ching points to which access is
forbidden by the belligerents.

Interpretation Of the Rule.

An explanation Of this was given at
the conference, which, a recent publica-
ton of the United States Naval War Col
lege states. has been universally ac-
cepted" as Interpreting the rule. The
commentary, which is pointed to as ex-
planning the American attitude, follows, in
part:
1T does not seem possible to assign
limits to the radius Of action in definite
and unvarying figures, any more than it
is possible to fix beforehand invariably
the number of ships necessary to assure
the effectiveness of any blockade.
These points must be determined ac-
cording to circumstances in each par
ticular case of a blockade. 1t Is evident
that a blockade will not be established
in the same way on defenseless coast
and on a coast possessing all modern
means Of defense. There would be no
question in the latter case of applying
a rule such as that which formerly re-
quired that ships should be stationary
and sufficiently close to the blockaded
places the position would be too danger
Gus for the ships Of the blockading force
which, besides,- now possess more power
full means enabling them to watch ef-
fectively much wider zone than formerly.

when the automobile in which they
were riding yesterday afternoon was
hit a glancing blow b. another car,
throwing their machine against a tele-

driver of the other car put on all power
and fed.
At a narrow turn in the road a car
came UP behind DR.. Van Ingen's and
tried to pass it. 1t skidded, and its
rear wheel struck the front one of the
Bliss car, making it swerve from the
road. IT landed with a crash against
the telegraph pole. The driver of tac
other machine gave one frightened
glance behind and then opened wide
the throttle and disappeared.

Ingen and Mrs. Bliss into his car and
buried to the Nassau Hospital. BY
the time he arrived there the physician
had revived sufficiently to direct what
New York physicians should be called
in consultation on mis- case.
Specialists, on their arrival, decided
that it would be safe to move the in
jured man to his home in Manhattan.
DR.. Van InGen was taken there in a
Nassau Hospital ambulance. Mrs
Bliss was able to return to her home
