RULES TO BE STRONGER
Premier Says Conflict VIII Give Birth
to Statutes that Will Govern.
Strife Called Trade War.

The immutability- OF international law
was the theme Of speakers at the closing
banquet. of the tenth annual meeting Of
the American Society Of International
Law at the ShOreham last night. Fred
eric r. coudert, noted exponent Of in
ternational law, was postmaster. More
than 100 members attended the closing
session.
Secretary OF State Lansing, the princi-
pal speaker. asserted that the principles
Of international law were immutable.
The present strife in Europe" he
said, has shaken International law to
Its foundation. With the coming Of peace
70 a gar-torn world, the application Of
the principles will give new rules that
viii govern"
Only in he abstract did the Secretary
touch upon the Issue threatening the
diplomatic relations Of the United States
and Germany. He said: The invention
OF internal combustion is directly re-
sponsible for the departures In naval
warfare. This invention Is comparable
only with the invention Of gunpowder."
Mr.. Coudert, in introducing the frst
speaker. declared that with the end of
the European war will come the age Of
reconciliation, of brotherhood of man."
and that when that time comes there will
be little need Of international law or
politics.
A War for Trade.
mo one aware OF the origin OF the
present war can doubt that il Is a war
for trade. trade routes and possession of
markets, in which resources and industry
play important roles was the assertion

to Germany. Who viii control the

said International law was coupled close.

was more potential than life.

sophistry can make 1t so. International

BRITISH TOMMY
LACKS TRAINING
Is Not Equal of the Dashing
Fighter of Yore; Off
GERS Are Green.

Berlin. Germany, June IA German
army surgeon who has been at the
front since the beginning Of the war
writes;
The English Tommy Atkins who
cooIly smoked a cigaret on the oper-
ating table when his shattered limbs
were patched up or smputated and
never answered questions is a thing Of
the past. The new Tommy is only
substitute. but this Characterization OF
the present British soldiers iS not
meant as a reflection upon him. II IS
impossible TO transform men who DO
not possess military quautes from A
long line OF heritage into brilliant
fighters by a simple command and
few weeks Of training
The new Tommy Atkins is muci
different from the old one He lacks
dash and chicness. The ngntng Falue
of these poorly trained working men,
clerks and farmers who have no milf
rarv experience cannot be compdr ca
with that Of the brilliant English sol
diers who fought IN Belgium at ths
beginning Of the war

10 be made OF hickory
The new Tommies, although brave 4
are very much softer. They often cry /
when We bandaga their wounds, and /
