the privilege of representing the whole

putting men through the third degree
In respect of whore they stand with

That's the reason we are submit

in performance, then we are ready to
be partners with them and go ahead:
but IL they do not, they will have TO
go through a period OF probation,
when we will allow them 10 sit by us,
but will insist that they be instructed
by our precept and by our example
And when we shall show them that the
only dignity they can get, the only

U. S. MAY DIsARM LINERS
Washington Asks Powers to Agree on
Set Of 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 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 beIIigerent-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 warning that this
government is considering adoption of
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.
