Undersea Craft to Save
European Babies Feast
bic, Says Committee.
FRANCES EMBARGO
GIVES BIRTH TO IDEA
Vessel Would Carry No War
Equipment; Just Dive to
Avoid Detention.

Picture a submarine loaded with con-
densed milk seooting along underneath
the troubled, war-scsrred surface OF the
Atlantic, taking food to the starving
babies in Germany, Austria-hungary
and Russian Poland.
Impossible! you say.
II depends upon the point OF view
Some one in that nebulous group often
called influential people" has suggest
ed this under-sea method Of transpor-
tation to the Citizens Committee for
Food Shipments, Of which DR.. Edmund
Won mach is chairman. And the COM
mittee has issued statement on TINS
most surprising, but upon investlga-
ton perfectly feasible offer"
The submarine would carry no war
eduipmont Of any kind" says the state
,neuf. but would be used solely for
commercial purposes As the United
States does not admit that the BLOCK
ade Of Germany exists, no conlpiica-
ton over clearance papers would arise
The submarine would merely submerge
to avoid capture and detention. AS
condensed milk is not contr4band, no
loss would result, even If the boat were
captured. Although the committee mas
taken this suggestion under ADVISE
ment. il hopes tina. IL viii not be nee
essary TO resort 10 such an expensive
eXpcdicnt.
After hearing that the French gov
crnment had given fat refusal to the
request, through Secretary Lansing, Tor
unhampered transit o.. milk supplies,
/ tho committee had this TO say:
/ we believe that Frances refusal 20
authorize shipments OF mlk under
American Red Cross supervision TO the
babies OF the Central Empires is based
on a misconception. Military reasons,
which are advanced by France, do MT
touch the case. The one important
: fact is that there is not enough milk
in Europe. Ii 100000 babies should
die OF starvation, it would not assist
I the military operations Of the Allies
or lessen Germany's military chances
} Il is. IN short. not question OF pro,
Allies or pro-German, but or the good
| old American principle OF babies
America Is unitedly pro-babies, and %
/ are England and presumably France.
) The suggestion has been made tnat
We buy milk in Switzerland or Holland.
| nj ortGndtely1 tne ENRllsH iiiIt"is n"
/ thorities have forbidden both these
countries 20 feed the German babies,
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars
worth of Swiss condensed milk reaches

ported again at an enormous cost. mol
/ land also sends us her surplus milk.
( On the Nicuw Amsterdam, due here to-
morrow, there is enough milk TO OPP
crate abroad twenty goodslzed milk
depots for 900 babies each for one
week"
One cheerful result OF the French
refusal, the committee adds, has been
the germ of the submarine idea. A
new petition based upon official hg-
ures and study OF European dalry,
conditions by American agricultural
authorities, will be presented TO the
State Department this week

ment. to the effect that the negroes
had been hired by Mrs. Mohr to do the
shooting, and given out another stale
ment. absolving Mrs. Mohr from any
connection with, the crime. This was
also denied, Attorney General Rice say

Imprisonment.

ton for new trial on the ground that
evidence favorable 20 the defendant
had been discovered during the closing
arguments 20 the jury.
This evidence, he declared. would
contradict the testimony OF Charles D.
Etchison, chief witness of the state
who swore that Price murdered his
wife for her fortune by throwing her
from cliff and striking her on the
head with a rock.
Stay of sentence was granted until
next Wednesday, when arguments will
