No Americans Aboard So the Act
Was of No Diplomatic
Significance.

Washington, April 2S.-Ambassador
Gerard, in advising the state depart

to confer with Emperr William at
army headquarters, said he had not
been Informed of the purpose of the
conference. The belief prevailed
here, however that the Emperor de.

his views for the benefit of President
Wilson.
Diplomats, especially those attach

ambassador and emperor as holding a
certain degree of hopefulness.
Reconsideration was given the sub
marine issue at today's cabinet meet.
ing-the first held in week-but
Secretary Lansing was able to give
only the most meagre information on
the subject. In view OF the activity
OF German government officials and
heir apparent intention to reach de-
cision as quickly as possible, the
president is disposed not to instruct
Ambassador Gerard to press for a re.
ply to the American demand at once
The question will not be allowed to
drag along many more days, how.
ever, it was said today.
The attack by submarine on the
British merchantmen, Industry, re.
ported today, and the placing of the
crew in open boats 1870 miles from
shore, created an unfavorable impress
sion on officials, although there were
no Americans On board, and, there
fore, the United States is not directly
concerned. Germany has admitted
that it is only proper to place pas
sengers and crews of attacked yes
sells in open boats when they are near
shore and the weather is good.
Optimism regarding the ultimate
outcome of the situation was appar'
en- in German circles following the
receipt by the German embassy OF
dispatches from Berlin described as
indicating that Germany would at.
tempt to meet the American demands.

Stormy Debates Over Place of
Submersible in Modern
Warfare.

Washington, April 2S-Submarine
warfare upon commerce was denOunc-
ed by an array of prominent jurists
today, before the American Society
of International Law, concluding a
tw0-day program of addresses on
questions relating TO the European
war. Most Of the speakers earnestly
favored restricting the use of the
submarines and the other new war
agencies to established legal bounds,
rather than modification Of the inter
national code in their favor.
The tenth annual meeting of the So
ciety will close tomorrow, with bus
mess meeting and a banquet at night,
at which Secretary Lansing, Judge
George Gray, David Hill and Prof.
George w. Kirchwey of New York
will deliver addresses. Reelection of
Elihu Root as president is expected.
Present and future conduct of sub
marine warlare was the principal
topic OF d lively discussion this after
noon.
Prof. Jesse S. Reeves, of the Uni
versity of Michigan. criticized alleged
changes in the American position re-
garding armed merchantmen. Sever.
al administration officials, including
Assistant Secretary of State Phillips,
and Solicitor General David were in
the audience.
Prevented by Law.
Prof. Raleigh C. Miner, Of the Uni
versity Of Virginia, presented at
length his conclusions that submar-
ines should be prevented by law from
warning upon commerce.
Admitting that submarines and
mines have legitimate use in mod
ern warfare, Prof. Amos S. Hershey,
of the Indiana university, said their
use should be mainly or substantially
for defensive purposes and be mainly
confined to belligerent waters, with
limited use on high seas.
Prof. Hershey and Everett P.
Wheeler of New York, an authority
on admiralty law, advocated forma-
ton of an international high court
after the war. to regulate use of the
submarines and mines.
Swept Aside.
Mr.. Wheeler asserted that interna'
tional law had been largely swept
aside in the war. ''Its fabric" he
said, "is almost as ruined as the
great cathedral at Rheims. We want
something in the future more power
full than mere scraps of paper-an in
ternational court with police power
capable of enforcing it's DEGREES"
Prof. Reeves declared it was out
side the possibility that an American
submarine would ever sink an enemy
ship like the Lusitania
Prof. Carl F. Geiser Of Oberlin uni
versity, while declaring his support
of President Wilson in the controver.
sy with Germany, suggested that an
cient international rules, restricting
submarines be extended.
Can you expect \nation, fighting
for it's very existence, to have the
submarine and not use it?' he asked.
He suggested classification of YES
sells and cargoes and prohibiting wo,
men and children from travelling on
vess./; carrying munitions.

the running Of trains to and from

file even imagined this was their pur-
pose. About 600 of them, however,
took possession of the general post
Office in Sackville street. There the
900 men remained until night and
still hold forth.
The raid was beyond the power OF
the police to deal with. All of the
Lancers appeared on the scene, but
after two or three Of the men had
been wounded they withdrew. Since
then the Sinn.Feiners in the posttflice
have been left alone, and they have
hoisted the flag of the Irish Republic
over the building.
The Countess Markivicz, the sister
of an Irish baron, in volunteer uni
form, was a prominent figure in the

During Monday officers and men in
khaki and individuals were shot at
in the streets.
No evening newspapers appeared
in Dublin Monday and no morning
papers were published Tuesday.

Romance Is Spoiled.

There is O mound of earth in st.
Paul's church, at New York, that is
overgrown with long, coarse grass and
looks like an unkempt, unmarked
grave. Groups of young women from
Office buildings gather in that quiet
part of the churchyard every day at
the noon hour to eat their lunches.
Among these regular frequenters of
the place there has been much specula-
ton as to the meaning of this new
grave and why 1t should be so neg
lected. All sorts of romantic. stories
have been woven aboutSit blythe i'm
aginative tales of family feuds, disap-
pointed love and the like. Yesterday
q workman wheeled barrow up to
this mound and began shoveling some
of it in to cart it away. There was eS-
citement Immediately among the
luncheon parties. "Whose tomb is
this?" asked one of the lunchers,
breathlessly. The man looked puzzled
for q moment and then grinned. "This
amt no grave, MISS" he answered.
'This is just heap Of mold that we
use to fill up any place that caves in"
And thus a romance was spoiled

Removing Dents From Furniture.

When wood Is badly dented or
scratched, it is often a problem to
know how to get rid of the marks.
This is quite easy If the following
plan is adopted: First of all, fold a
piece of blotting paper at least four
times; then saturate with water,
finally allowing the superfuous mois-
ture to drip away. Now heat fiat
iron until 1t is about the warmth re-
quired for laundry work. Place the
damp blotting paper over the dent and
press firmly with the iron. AS soon
as the paper dries examine the mark.
It will then be found that the cavity
has filled up to a surprising extent.
Where the dent Is very deep a second,
or even q third, application on the
lines indicated might be tried. Sooner
or later even serious depressions can
be drawn up, and most people who
have not tried this plan will be sur
prised at the result of the treatment.

swered until the reputation of the

At one of these Independence day BAN
quets held at Stelle's tavern in the

There has been put to work on the
