WILSON'S STAND
NOW EXPLAINED
Stands for International Law
to Avoid International
Anarchy
FEARS FOR THIS NATION

WASHINGTON, March Here
are the two greatest American
questions OF the day:
"shall the United States sub
NIT to the torpedoins without
warning and the safe removal
Of passengers Of unarmed mer-
chant ships Of beIligerent ma
tions9
Shall the United States sub
NIT to the torpedoing, without
warning and the safe removal
OF passengers, Of ARMED mer-
chant ships OF the belIiger-
ents7"
No. says President Wilson. and
his cabinet, because such action
In either case-by Germany Is
against international law.
What is the law-the interna.
tional law-on the subject?
The International law on both
questions is written in the custom
of nations for scores and hundreds
of years. All civilized nations have
respected the custom for so long
that NONE OF THEM-NOT EVEN
GERMANY-denies that such is the
law of nations. THE PROOF OF
THIS. AND THE BINDING MA.
TURE OF 1T is SHOWN BY THE
FACT THAT THE RULES OF
EVERY NAVY IN THE WORLD,
INCLUDING GERMANY'S NAVY,
INSTRUCT OFFICERS IN AC-
CORDANCE WITH THE LAW
THAT MERCHANTMEN SHALL
NOT BE SUNK WITHOUT DUE
WARNING. AND THAT MER-
CHANTMEN HAVE A RIGHT TO
GO ARMED.
President Wilson's contention Is
that America must uphold every In.
ternatlonal law as 1t was made by
civilized nations before the war.
Inasmuch as these laws were
made by all nations, all nations
must first consent to change them.
President Wilson's whole policy
can be summed up briefly as fol-
lows:

Congress In Turmoil
Congress is in a turmoil over the

The administration is confident
its hands will be upheld despite
the recent claim OF Speaker Clark
that the house stood . or 3 TO l in
favor of a warning.
There was little chance OF a

Senators Stone and Kern and
Representative Flood conferred
with the preside mt at the White
House today. The conference last

Vote on Straight Warning
1t was agreed that the test vote

On the contrary, Mr.. Gill in 1910, got

to this bank sieve.

Again, as mayor in 1914, Mr. Gill got
the council TO increase the height As feet,

If he wished to shirk responsibility for
whatever blundcr had been made on the
dam, why did he not veto this additional
cost?
But he spent that money in spite OF
further warning by board of experts.
This left no money with which to seal

For more than a year the dam has
been empty. Dry dams pile up taxes.
