every other reason which had been given for the arming of peaceful trading ships.
 under the present circumstances, therefore, the reasons on account of which armed merchantmen were ad- m1tted on the same basis as peaceful trading ships exist no longer. Fur thermore, it is a recognized principle Cf international law that when the reason for the existence of a law ceases the law itself is abolished. In the present case this means that the non-admission of armed merchant men does not imply a change of in ternational law, made by a one-sided declaration of one or some few of the parties concerned, but is simply the application of recognized principles Of international law"

 IRRITATING"- G"-KNIGUT
At Close of War Other Countries May Decide They Conflict With Their
 Interests Admiral Says,

Washington, Feb. 29.-The United States is maintaining more policies ir- ritating to other countries than any other nation in the world, Rear Ad- miral Knight, president of the Navy War college, told the house naval committee today, in support of his recommendation that no time be lost in building the strongest navy in the world. To defend the Monroe Doc urine and control the Panama Canal, maintain an open door in China and enforce Asiatic exclusion, he said. the fleet should be equal to or greater than Great Britain's
 Other world events, the admiral de- clared, made it seem possible that at the close of the European War various foreign powers, believing that these American policies conflict with their interests, might declare they would not longer accept them. He declined to discuss the considerations other than avoWed national policies that moved him to believe the peace of the nation was in peril from outside at tack and that the peril was growing as the end of the War a broad grows nearer
 Admiral Knights statements were drawn out by Representative Galloway, who insisted he could see no danger to justify race for naval supremacy.
 Are we in any way menaced ?" he demanded.
 Tn my opinion, we are" said Ad- miral Knight.
 How ?"
 II wish to be excused from answer ing that question:"
 'I would like to find somebody who would answer it, said Representative Galloway. "Is the date of 1925 set for completing this great fleet the date when this thing will break?"
 I don't believe it will break at all If we prepare now" said the admiral.

Too Crowded for Dead to Fall.

From behind us the French artil- lery fired into the German masses, the German shells flying over our heads toward the Douaumont sec ton. Then our machine guns, placed in batteries every five yards, began to play and we saw the dead in groups upright, where there was not room to fall. From Moncourt I fol- lowed the supply road to F'leury, where I took the light railway toward Verdun. The heavy guns near Douaumont and Damloup were firing fast as they could be loaded. When we passed between the two points the air pressure, produced by the con- tinuous discharges, was so terrific that blood rushed from our ears and our lungs almost ceased working"
