U. 5. TO DEFINE
U-B0AT STAND
Government Preparing
Complete Note to Send
TO All Nations.

Washington. March % The United
States soon will make FOR the infor-
nation Of the nations Of the world a
complete statement of its position m
regard 80 the conduct Of submarine
warfare and the armiug of merchant
ships for defensive purposes. II has
not been definitely determined Just
what form the announcement viii take.
but IL De considered not unlikely that
a circular memorandum may be al
dressed 90 the powers.
Whatever the form Of the dcclara-
ton. prepared after careful considera
ton Of all the claims made by both sets
Of European belligCrcnts. n viii serve
20 guide the course Of this government
in future negotiations. The United
States will stand unalterably upon the
principles slread, laid down.
Coming from the most powerful OF
the neutral nations. a. time when all
the other great world powers arc Al
war. the announcement may furnish
the ground work for new Interra-
tional law 10 be developed after the
war. This groundwork will provide for
the use Of submarines IN naval warfare.
Present law row does not take into
consideration tho activities OF subma-
rines or the possibilities Of their use.
Secretary Lansing returned 10 Wash
ing,on to-day after spending r fort
night a. Pinchurst, y. {. During his
absence from the capital he has had
under consideration yoluminOus data
regarding submarines and armed ships.
He gave careful study 20 the intricate
problems involved, and nearly all his
working hours are uudcr.tOo 30 have
been devoted 20 tho subject m an effort
10 reach conclusions just and fair 10
all concerned and which no nation sue
cessfully could challenge.
That definition of defensive arms-
mcnt will occupy a prominent position
IN the declaration, whatever ITS form
is virtually certain.
Limitations OF defensive armament
may be described. and these viii gov
ern merchant ships which enter the
territorial waters Of tho United States.
Part OF tho document also probably
will deal with the raising OF national
flags by submarines which approach
vessels The United states probably
will insist that submarines conform IN
this respect 20 the practices OF cruiser
warfare.
The subject Of contraband and non
contrsband cargo. both in neutral and
in bclligereut ships, also may be dis
cussed, along with various other de-
tails. The United States has interest
in these matters because the rights
ard property Of American citizens are
involved
II is with the view Of clearly setting
forth such rights. under the changed
conditions brought about by submarine
warfare, HAT the new declaration Of
position will be issued

Lloyd George for COmpul-
sorry EnlistmentS, While
Asquith Opposes.
LONDON NEWSPAPERS
AT ODDS ON QUESTION
Times" Favors CONSUMPTION,
While "Chronicle" Sides
with the Premier.

London, March 24.-Rumor in tn.
lobby o. the House Of Commons las.
night was busy with the discussion OF
Z possible Cabinet crisis over the ques-
ton of the enlistment Of married men.
Accordnc 20 some reports, David Lloyd
George desires compulsion for all men
OF military age, while Premier Asquith
is opposed 20 any such measure.
The London morning papers all dis
cuss the recruiting difficulties at great
length. The Times" takes the leading
place as the advocate of universal COM
pulsion. The Chronicle" on the other
side. supports the governments present
position. Il declares:
Many of the loudest critics Of Pre-
mier Asquith's attitude are Tar more
anxious TO overthrow the Prime Mn
ister and destroy the coalition govern
ment than to add men 70 the army
"The Morning POST says: The peo-
pie cannot understand the present state
of affairs, but what they have begun 10
understand is that 50 long a. the
present Premier remains this state OF
things will continue. Nor Is II dlihcu!t
to sec whittier u is tending.
"Thc Times" says: The only possible
remedy for the present muddle IS 10
extend the military service act TO All
men of military age, married and SIN
gle alike. and thus abolish the manifest
unfairntss Of a system which Is neither
voluntary nor compulsory, but blend
Of the least desirable elements OF both.
The main count against the government
at the present time IS that during the
Earl OF Derby's canvass married men
were deliberately induced 10 attest on
the plain understanding that those who
held back would be less favorabiy
treated than those who attcsted.'
I'm connection with reports that DAVID
LLOYD George. the Munitions Minister
is likely 20 appear soon as an advocate
Of universal compulsion, The Times
remarks. significantly:
"No one understands the situation
better than the Minister Of Munitions,
and we doubt very much whether any
solicltude for his own department
would satisfy him TO let recruiting take
it's present chaotic course.
The Daily Chronicle supporting
the governments attitude, says: III
is known that Premier Asquith has re-
fused 20 be party 20 any further OK
tension Of tho compulsory principle
II ia impossible 20 regard compUlsion
AS having so far proved 4 great re-
cruiting success. Its direct addition 20
our forces has been small. On the
other hand, it has quite altered the
feeling with which men regard joining
the army. 4 majority Of the Derby
recruits attested last year in the spirit
OF volunteers. but they receive their
call row in the spirit Of conscrlpts.'

sides; their history identical with the settle.
ment and growth of his home village at the
head OF PenObsc0t hay-one of the scores of
communities strung along our coast from
Eastport to Bridgeport with individual records
that stand each as page in one of the proud
est chapters of New England history.
When IA years old Colcord was left at home
IN Searsport to attend the High school; three
years later he went to college at Orono, the
University Of Maine, there studying civil en-
glneering. He did not graduate, but took to
railroad work in the Maine woods. At this
time American shipping was at its lowest ebb;
the father had lost his ship and had not then
"gone into steam," as later he did. So the
parents came to the Boston neighborhood and
lived in Somerville for the winter. The brother
and sister had come ahead and lodged on In
man street, Cambridge. both working in the
factory of Henry Thayer & Co., on Broadway,
CambridgepO-t, where cousin was foreman.
His favorite haunts were the Cambridge es-
planade. just below Harvard bridge, and the
Boston Public Library. Two of our young
Braithwaite and Edward J. O'Brien, when they
saw Colcord's portrait in the papers. recog.
nized it as that of a quiet, studious youth
whom they often used to see opposite them at
the same table in the Barton -Ticknor room. 1t
was about that time that Alan Seeger. the
young poet now serving in the French army,
and then student at Harvard, was wont to
spend many hours in the same place.
L Before his sister Joined him in Cambridge,
Colcord was lonely and miserable. Then to-
gether they had many good evenings.
The father having taken command Of q
steamer, the mother went to New York to
live. Young Colcord. having placed his first
short story while in the Maine woods, soon
drifted thlther. But on his marriage to the
adopted daughter of Searsport sea captain,
he returned to his home village. Their home
is in his fathers old place, close by the water
one of those big houses that sea captains loved
to build.
Colcord has likable, sympathetic person
ality; figure rather tall and spare; sharp,
strong features, serious and self-contained in
expression; light hair and gray eyes-typically
q New Highlander of the old stock-the SORT
that may appear specifically Unconditional.
but underneath the inbred self-restraint of
his race is nervous and sensitive: the blend Of
Saxon and Celt thst characterizes far more of
the old New England blood than most of US
think.
