N C[URE TELLS
Of CONDITIONS
ACROSS WATER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

THE HAGUE, April 18.-(Via Lon
don. samuel S. Mcclure, of New
York, has arrived here after three
months tour of Germany, Belgium,
Poland, Austria Hungary and Turkey,
during which he met in the countries
visited, high personages in all the gov
ernments and discussed with them
various phases of the war.
Mr.. Mcclure says he made it a point
to investigate the milk situation in
Germany. He qualities the milk re-
ports as ludicrously untrue. Far from
being true, he says, German babies
were never in better health and infant
mortality at the present time is lower
than ever before in the history of the
country. The same thing is true with
regard to school children and the peo-
pie generally, because health condi-
tions are now more closely watched
by the government.
Voluminous government statistics
from twenty five of the large cities in
Germany secured by Mr.. Mcclure show
that the infant mortality was 10 per
cent less in 1915 than in 1914. For Ber-
lin 1t was II per cent less. The last
quarter of 1915 shows a record low
figure for infant mortality in Berlin,
of II per cent, compared with 1876 per
cent for the third quarter of 1914
Mr.. Mcclure also made special
study of Germany's submarine policy,
in which he obtained an exact and
authoritative statement which defends
Germanys standpoint. The statement
says:
First-1n using her submarine weap-
ons, Germany distinguishes between
hostile and neutral ships. Enemy men,
of-war are torpedoed without warning
Arizona republican., 1916-04-19

Armed enemy merchantmen are con-
sidered warships. This is done for the
reason that their commanders re-
ceived orders, published in the Ger
man memorandum of February s, to
open fire on every German submarine
on sight, even before an hostile act
has been committed. This makes i'm
possible a warning from a submarine.
Enemy merchantmen who are sunk
without warning in the war zones
that is the waters around the British
Isles, mentioned in the proclamation OF
February 4, 1915. Exception is MADE,
however for enemy passenger steam
ers Oiners) which, for the reasons OF
humanity, are not sunk even in the war
zone without warning and only after
removing the passengers and crew.
"Second-Regarding neutral ships.
Germany respects both the rights OF
neutrals and the principles of humanity
that is, neutral merchantmen are
sunk only if they carry contraband and
cannot be brought into port by prize
crew No neutral ship sunk without
, previously determining her identity
and only after arranging for the safety
of passengers and crew. This applies
also to neutral ships in the war zone
"Third-Germany takes into consid-
Grafton the principles of humanity, in
asmuch as she never sinks enemy pas
senger steamers Qiners) without warn
ing. AS a portion of the enemy pas
senger steamers, however, are armed.
and as the English admiralty orders,
which were found on British ships, as
published in the German memorandum
of February 8, which give every rea-
son to expect that they will use their
armament for offensive purposes. 1t
I is possible a naval fight may occur
between such armed passenger boats
and the German naval forces. For this
reason it is advisable for neutral pas
sengers to avoid travelling on armed
boats. s:asz
"Foutrh-In order to maintain inter-
national passenger traffic of vessels

tering into negotiations with neutral
governments and designated as a safe

marked neutral steamers, which would

favor of the senate amendment, Sen

Wilson had told him earlier in the

means of recruiting the proposed vol

as surprise to senators on both sides
