Washington Asks Powers to Agree on
Rules for Submarine Warfare.


Washington, Jan. 31.-A suggestion
that all the belligerent countries sub
scribe to a declaration of principles
governing attacks on merchant YES
sells and forbidding the arming of
such vessels has been made by the
United States in an effort to estab-
lish in international law a general
policy disposing of many of the vexa-
tious problems arising from the de-
velopment of submarine warfare.
Identical notes have gone forward
asking the various countries at war
to say specifically whether they are
willing to join in such an agreement.
The declaration of principles would
provide:
That noncombatants may expect
protection under the rules of in
ternational law and the principles of
humanity when travelling on merchant
ships
That warning must be given before
a merchantmen is attacked.
That belligerent-owned merchant
ships must obey warnings to stop.
That merchantmen shall not be
fired on except in case of resistance
or flight.
That no merchantmen shall be
sunk except where it is impossible
to supply prize crew, or until pas
sengers and crew are placed in safety.
The note voices a warning that this
government is considering adoption of
a policy under which all armed mer-
chantmen that enter ports of the
United States in future shall be con-
sidered war vessels. subject to the
established regulations governing in
ternment

the American protest to Great Britain
against interference with nedtral

surances that drafts are secure in the
mails"
The United States declares that par

BARS BIZARRE COSTUMES.
Employers Don't Want Girls in Zebra
Hose and Knee Skirts.

To the credit of the working girls
of Charleston, they are modest, neat
and attractive dressers. It is only
once in a while that one sees girl in
zebra hose, high skirts, and with a
transparent, filmy waist, cut below
zero, and she doesn't hold her place
for any great length of time. But it
has been quite different in Philadel-
phia this summer and the girls were
becoming so extreme in their bizarre
attire as to provoke a general protest
from employers in that city.
Business men of Philadelphia are
organizing a rebellion against CO.
quetry of costume during hours of
employment. They say that powder
ed noses, elaborately puffed hair,
shoulder showing shirt waists, abbre-
waited skirts and zebra-striped stock
ings are not helpful to transaction of
business in a big Office.
One of the first big corporations to
speak it's mind is the Bell Telephone
company, which employs more than
2,400 young women.
1--WE object to our girls coming to
work with their noses powdered and
their cheeks painted the color of
fresh roses," said an official of this
company today. ''The practice of
painting and powdering, not to men
ton the wearing of knee-length skirts
and abbreviated shirt waists, has
come to be a source of much concern
to this company, and we have de-
cided to stamp out the practice as
much as possible.
t'If we see one of our employees
coming to work dolled up like a
chorus girl she is either sent home
or requested to wash her face. We
have sent a good many home.'
The head of a large addressing
company was just as emphatic in de-
claring that he desired no girls in his
employ who rouge their cheeks, pen
Gil their eyebrows and paint their
lips.
eve have no objection to our
young women employees making
themselves as attractive as possible,
but they must do so within reason
during business hours. They must
not come to the Office clad as though
they were going to Dance" he said.

the thirty peace treaties negotiated
during the first two years of the ad-
ministration with nations exercising
authority over 1,300,000,000 of peo-
pie, or three-fourths of the world.
In addition to the thirty nations
which have signed treaties, three
others with combined population of
more than 100,O0O,000 have endors
ed the principle embodied in the
treaty plan, so that today there are
less than five nations with any con-
siderable population which have de-
clined to approve of this plan, and
three of these have been prevented
by controversies still unsettled.
These thirty treaties contain three
provisions new to treaty making.
First: They cover all questions of
every kind and character and pro-
vide that such disputes, when they
defy diplomatic settlement, shall be
submitted to an international tribu-
nal for investigation and report. Sec
ond: A years time shall be allowed
for Investigation and report, during
which there shall be no resort to
force. Third: The parties reserve
the right to Independent action at
the conclusion of the investigation.
1t is believed that these provisions
will, by insuring time for anger to
subside, opportunity for questions of
fact to be separated from questions
of honor, and chance for the peace
forces of the world to operate, make
war between the contracting parties
remote possibility. These treaties,
not only give this nation primacy in
the matter of world peace, but they
insure a peace at home which will
enable our nation to work out it's
domestic problems and set an exam
pie worthy of emulation by the rest
of the world.
When did any party, in so short
time, present and complete so re-
markable a programme for the ad-
vancement Of the nations welfare?
IS it possible that a party which has
thus justified public confidence can
be rebuked by the people to whose
interests it has dedicated itself?-W.

CIRCULARS OR NEWSPAPERS.
Comparison Of Cost and Value of
Two Forms of Advertising.

The Greenville Piedmont says:
How often in the lobby of the post
Office we see in the waste baskets un-
opened envelopes containing adver-
tising matter in the forms of book
lets or printed sheets. Finding them
in their boxes the receivers have
been somewhat annoyed, and have
not even taken the trouble to open
and look at them, but have thrown
them aside as soon as possible.
Did you ever think of the loss in
volved there for some advertiser?
First the proportionate cost of ad
writing, then the printing and bind
ing of the booklet or pamphlet it.
self, the cost of the envelopes, the
time in addressing, and finally the
postage. All this goes for nothing,
and instead of looking over the mat
ter and feeling in any way an i'm
pulse to investigate further the re-
cipient really feels little huffy that
the humble circular was not more
important piece of mail.
Would it not be better to use the
money spent thus in ad writing,
printing, binding, addressing and
postage, in good frst-class newspa-
per advertising?
In newspaper the matter at
least usually comes under the eye of
the reader while he is scanning the
news items. Very rarely is it that
we see a newspaper thrown into the
waste basket without perusal, es-
pecially if it is paper that has been
subscribed for. The same advertis-
ing that is thrown carelessly aside,
in circular by reing placed on the
page of a daily weekly newspaper
is assured of getting outside the
postoffice and it stands less chance
of being chucked into the desk

flee or home of the one to whom ad-
dressed.
John Lee Mahin, Chicago adver-
tising expert, says that if merchants
would use the same advertising copy
which is contained in circular and
put it in their local paper they would
get a greater circulation at less ex-
pense. The article that quotes him
goes on to say that if some merchant
would put the same careful thought
into their newspaper ads that is en-
ployed in writing a circular letter
they would get still more for their
money.
Isn't it worth thinking about at
least, Mr.. Advertiser?
