Declaration of London Withdrawn For Broader Maritime Policy
MUST PROVE DESTINATION
Cargoes Will Be Regarded As for Enemies Unless It Is Proven Other Wise-Will Observe International visions Made Public.

Paris, July 8.-The French govern ment, following the example of Great Britain has abandoned the declaration of London as an interpretation of maritime international law. A de- $ cree to that effect appears in this mornings official journal.
 A memorandum accompanying the decree says that the rules of the Lon don declaration were adopted by the Entente Allies at the beginning of the war as being the most expedient but that experience has shown that they did not give the results expected, either in securing to belligerents a full exercise of rights or affording adequate guarantee to neutrals. Con- sequently, the memorandum contin- ues, circumstances obliged the Allies to modify the rules of the declaration. But these successive notifications lead to false interpretations of the allies motives therefore they decided 1t were better to return to the ori- ginal rules of international law as generally accepted.
 In doing so, the memorandum con- cludes, the Allies declare so1emn1y they will continue to observe the principles rigidly, respecting lives and property of neutrals and being ready to make compensation for any unjus- tiiable damage caused to bonafide merchants.

 At a meeting of the committee this morning, in conjunction with President Morris Bush of the Chamber of Com merce, a resolution Was unanimously adopted instructing me to communicate with you and ascertain just what ex- pert engineering assistance was avail able at the hands of the national govern ment: and 1 will be very glad for you to take this matter up at your earliest convenience and advise me what cooper alton you can secure for us in working out this problem. I presume that the government would instruct Engineer Lit tie of Tuscaloosa, who has such wide and extensive knowledge of the river, to ccllaborate with us, and no doubt you could secure from the department of good roads such expert assistance as is avail able in connection with the highway, and maybe get such department as would have jurisdiction to furnish us an ex- ing and constructing of the electric rail- road.
 We all know that the Warrior river improvement is the child of your genius and life's work, and feel sure that you will do everything in your power to help this great city and county to reap the benefits of the costly improvements which the government has made in bring ing navigation so near our doors.
 Thanking you in anticipation, and with kindest personal regards I am, yours very truly, JOHN W. SHELBY, Chairman Warrior River Committed ,
