sador Gerard, applying to the north
and west coasts of France.
There is no precedent in dealing
with the question, because heretofore
submarines have played no important
part in warfare and all of the rules
of International law are framed with
special reference to ordinary ships.
The ordinary practices in taking prizes
and dealing with the merchantships
of an enemy which it is not feasible
to take as prizes are clearly set out
and established by long usage. The
merchantmen must be halted,
boarded and either made a prize or
sunk. But in the latter case, crew
and passengers must be taken off.
Grave Concern Expressed
While it was noted that the procla-
nation was directed against "enemy
ships and applies to neutral ships
only when the attacks "were meant
for enemy ships" through suspicion
of misuse of neutral flags, officials eX-
pressed grave concern over the inn
piled threat to sink merchant vessels
probably without warning or taking
off noncombatant passengers and
crews.
During consideration of the subject
by the State Department American
mariners probably will be expected to
heed the German warning and enter
forbidden waters only at their own
risk, precisely what they have been
doing in the North Sea since notices
several months ago from both the
British and German governments, that
owing to the planting of mines, it
would be regarded as within the war
zone.

Rheuma

rheumatism is a dangerous disease; !;
because of its shifting nature 1t often
strikes the heart and proves fatal.
Anyone with even n taint of rheuma-
tism ought to drive it out as soon as
possible.
rheumatism is caused by sluggish.
worn-out or overworked kidneys,
which become clogged and fail to
eliminate the impurities from the sys-
tenn.
Rheuma acts promptly and directly
upon the kidneys: 1t cleanses them: it
absolutely renovates and leaves them
in perfect condition, able to do the
work nature intended they should do.
