prise that there appears to be an
endeayor of the allied powers to de-
termine the rule OF action governing
what they regard as a novel situa-
ton" in respect to the use OF sub
marines in time of war, and TO en-
force acceptance of that rule, at least
in part, by warning neutral powers
of the great danger to their sub
marines in waters that may be visited
by belligerent submarines.
In the opinion of the government
OF the United States. the allied
powers have not set forth any cir
cumstances, nor is the government Of
the United States at present aware
of any circumstances concerning the
use of war or merchant submarines,
which would render the existing rules
of International law inapplicable to
them.
In view of this fact. and of the
notice and warning of the allied
powers announced in their memoir
anda under acknowledgment it is
incumbent upon the government of
the United States to notify the gov
ernments of France, Great Britain.
Russia and Japan that, so far as the
treatment of either war or merchant
submarines In American waters Is
concerned, the government of the
United States reserves its liberty OF
action in all respects and will treat
such vessels as, in its opinion, be-
comes the action of power which
may be said to have taken the first
steps toward establishing the prin-
ciples of neutrality, and which for
over a century has maintained those
principles in the traditional spirit
and with the high sense of impair
TALLY in which they were conceived.
I'm order, however, that there
should be no misunderstanding as to
the attitude of the United States, the
government of the United States an
nounces to the allied powers that it
holds 1t to be the duty OF belligerent
powers to distinguish between sub
marines of neutral and belligerent
nationality, and that responsibility
for any conflict that may arise be-
tween belligerent warships and neu.
trail submarines on account of a bel
ligerent to distinguish between these
classes of submarines must rest en-
tirely upon the negligent powers.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE naval expert

duration of submarine operations in
American waters, says:

1.-THE relieving of the crews, how.
ever. is not so easy. They become
worn out quickly under the condi-
lions of submarine navigation. Rest
is absolutely necessary for them.
Finally. the big question is re
pairing the boat itself 1t needs a
station where material is to be found
II cannot be admitted that the Ger
mans have this station at their dis
position without certain complaisance
which can and must be suppressed

spends to two necessities-the forth
coming presidential elections and the
public session of the reichstag to
morrow" says the Journal des
Debats. Severely attacked in the
sessions of the committee and by the
press, the imperial chancellor, that
is, the German government, wants to
reappear as vanquisher. That is why
the session, first fixed for October 4
was successfully adjourned to the
7th and 11th.'
Discussing the American elections
the Journal des Debats says:

more of a pacificist than President
Wilson and desires to traffic In his
