U. S. Insists International Law
Principles Govern Sub
marine Warfare.
AMBASSADOR BERNSTORFF
INFORMS HIS GOVERNMENT
Austria Also May Be Notifed-As-
surances Sought by Germany.
Cabinet Discusses Situation.

The submarine situation, with
its new developments, was dis
cussed at today's cabinet meet
ing. Secretary Lansing went to
the White House before the cabi-
net assembled and discussed the
question with the President also
at some length.
1t was indicated today that
Austria, too, will be notified of
the assurances which the United
States is asking for the future, SO
that the position of this govern
ment may be fully and uniformly
known to the Germanic allies.
Dispatch on Way to Berlin.
A long dispatch from Ambas-
sador Bernstorff was on its wav
to Berlin today explaining that
in its negotiations with Germany
over submarine warfare the
United States will accept nothing
short of complete agreement
covering all points for which it
has contended as to assurance
that the warfare in the future will
be conducted in accordance with
the established principles of inter-
national law.
It is understood that the ambassador
informed his government that the
United States considers Germany's dec
laration Of Its intention to sink armed
merchant ships without warning after
February 20 inconsistsnt with the as
surances given In the Arabic case. It
was said that he told the Berlin for
eign once that Secretary Lansing has
informed him that the United States
desires the German declaration regard
fed and that the tentative communica-
tion designed to end the Lusftanfa
case will not be formally accepted by
this country until assurances regard
ing the 1uture cOnQuct OF herman SUD-
marine warfare Is given.
Berlin Seeks Assurances.
In Teutonic diplomatic circles it was
stated that the Berlin foreign office
would not modify the declaration of in
tention to sink armed ships or inform
this country. that previous assurances
were binding unless Great Britain
should give assurances that a sub
marine which warns a British ship
carrying defense armament would not
be fired upon.
Secretary Lansing said the United
States considered the announcement Of
the new German-AuStrian naval policy
inconsistent with assurances previously
given and that the United States cCnsid-
cred a merchant ship with defensive arm
ament and one without guns at all in the
same class Assurances were wanted. he
said. to extend immunity from liners to
all merchant ships.
Oficfals today declined to say exactly
what the State Department would re-
gard as defensive armament. This
question will enter into future negotia-
tions regarding the conduct of sub
in Teutonic quarters that under prevail
ing conditions a merchant ship could
not use any armament for defensive
purposes that could not also be used
for offensive purposes.
It was suggested at the State De-
partment that if a merchant ship. In
response to a warning shot from sub
marine, fees. is bombarded during

there is no need to seek a conclusion;
1t finds itself. The summing up of the
situation is that upon the clearly
marked issues as between the candi-
dates, there Is no reason why any pro-
fessed Republican. any thoughtful Pro
gressive or any principled Democrat
should not, and every reason why ev-
cry patriotic Republican should vote
for Mr.. Hughes for President.
Such advice from such a source
should make a deep impression upon
the american electorate. 1t certainly
is not given through any prejudice
against Mr.. Wilson, for its author
would naturally be predisposed in ia
vor of the President. Nor does it come
from any lack of knowledge Of Mr..
Wilson's methods and intent. The in
timacy of the two men has been too
long and too close to admit of any lack
Of knowledge on Mr.. Harvey's part
The man who. as Mr.. Wilson's friend
first started the movement for him for
President, now, after test Of Mr..
Wilson in the White House. advises
the American people to vote for Mr..
Hughes. There should be no hesitancy
on the part of the voters to follow this
advice.

gest possibility of Mr.. Wilson or Mr..
Hughes melting or inviting war with
any European or Asiatic Power, and
| therefore there is no fair issue between
them on this question.
There are three elements that are in
volved in the answers to these two
! questions, those of military and indus
trial preparedness, government by and
for the people and national honor and
opportunity. SO far as all Of these are
concerned. the answer is the same:
Mr. Hughes is the man who should be
chosen from each and every standpoint
both as the representative Of the Re-
publican party and as Tn individual.
The best interests Of the country are
to be served by his election
Mr.. Harvey calls attention to the fact
that the utter absence of self-seeking
on the part of NJ Hughes throughout
his entire career, confirms the belief
that he does, in fact, from the very ma
ture of his being, stand for america
first"
On the other hand, no less surely
and most disappointingly, happenings
of the past two years eliminating in
the betrayal of his country for the
qualification of personal ambition,
Prove incontestably that Mr.. Wilson
stands for Wilson first. That is Mr..
Earvey's opinion. In his judgment

HARVEY REDHOT
FOR HUGHES
EspousaI by Distinguished Edi-
tor of the Cause of the Re- (
publican Candidate a
Significant Campaign
Feature.
ORIGINAL WILSON BOOSTER.

He Takes This Action Not Because HI
Is the Victim of Insratitude But Be.
cause Wilson Stands for Wilson First
and Col. Harvey Cannot Assist in
the Betrayal of His Country for the
Qualification of Personal Additional
Democrats Patriotic Stand.
The avowal of the cause of Mr..
Hughes by Colonel George Harvey is
one Of the distinct features of the
present campaign. 1t would be sig.
nificant in itself that a man of his
prestige, who had always trained with
the Democratic party, had espoused
the cause Of the Republican candi-
date. But in Mr.. Harvey's case the
significance Is very much greater, as
well as the Importance of the event.
He has been not only Democrat,
but a Wilson Democrat. Moreover,
he was the first man of prominence
to advocate the election of Woodrow
Wilson as President, and for many
years one of the closest friends and
advisers of the present occupant of
the White House. Mr. Harvey not
only proposed Mr.. Wilson for the
Presidency, but as early as 1910 in
terested United States Senator Smith.
Democratic leader Of New Jersey.
In Mr.. Wilson, and this resulted in
the Wilson nomination and election
as Governor of New Jersey.
Mr.. Harvey not only comes out for
Mr.. Hughes. but gives very intelligent
reasons for his action in the current
number of his ''North American Re-
view." In his judgment there are two
vital questions to be answered before
election. One is, which of the two
great parties at this particular juncture
In our progress as a nation is the bet
ter equipped and the more likely to
render the highest public service? The
other is, which of the two designated
leaders is the more certain to preserve.
protect and defend the Constitution of
the United Strtes? Such an issue as the
Democrats claim. that Mr.. Wilson has
kept us out of war and therefore is en-
titled to reelection, is brushed aside as
that has no proper place in
the mind of the voter of this year. In
Mr.. Harvey's judgment, only the most
insane partisan would venture to sug-
