President Wilson's advisers that an

ThcAe charges are:

To bring about the adoption Of q
submarine policy based on the rccog-
nlxed basis Of international law. Il was

Mr.. Wilson holds, hia advisers de-
clare. that Ii was far more important
10 obtain protection for human life
than II was to arrange for protection
FOR dollars, and II was for this reason
that he proceeded with such vigor
rainst Germany. Attention II called
