BERLIN, Jan. 29.--In answer to
American criticism Of submarine war

reasons for believing not only that
such warfare is justified, but that

dition is imposed in regard to enemy
vessels. The inference, therefore to
be drawn is that the attacker needs
no such pretense or excuse as dan
ger to justify him in sinking his OPP
.ponent's ships.
As regards the rights OF passengers
the writer declares that they are not
touched upon in any international
agreement until the London Declara-
ton in Article so says. "Avant Ia de-
struction (of the ship) les personnes
uui Sc trouvent a bord devront etre
misses en- surete." Before the de-
struction Of the ship the persons who
are on board shall, OF must, be re-
moved to safety.)
On the word "devront," Professor
Niebeyer lays the greatest stress OF
his argument. He declares that the
French have but the n word de
voir," to cover both must and shall.
He elects to translate deyront as shall
and maintaining that II must" had
been meant the form "dolvent" would
have been used.
On the assumption. therefore, that
Article so was intended to read that
passengers shall be placed in safety,
