DENOUNCE USE
Of SUBMARINES
American Society of Interna-

bIes Should Not Be Per-
mitted to Destroy Ships,

! Washington, April 2S.--Submarin'
warfare upon commerce was de-
nouneed by an array of prominen
jurists today before the American
Society OF International Law. Con.
GLIDING a two-day program Of adj
dresses ON questions relating to the
European war, most Of the speakers
earnestly favored restricting the use
of the submarine and other new wal
agencies to established legal bounds
rather than modification of the inter-
national code in their favor
prof james $. Reeves, of the Uni
versity Of Michigan, criticized alleged
changes In the American position re-
garding armed merchantmen.
Prof. Raleigh Miner, Of the Univer-
sity Of Virginia, presented at longth
his conclusion that submarines should
be prevented by law from warrlng
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 he mainly
confined to belligerent waters, with
limited use on the high seas.
Everett +. Wheeler, Of New York
an authority on admiralty law, assert
ed that International law had been
largely swept aside in the war. ITS
fabric" he said, 'is almost as ruined
as the great cathedral at Rheims. 1t
ls not now an active working code.
We must not concedc ono iot from the
principles Of international law, In the
interest of humanity. We want
something In the future more power
full than mere scraps of paper--an
court with police power
capable OF enforcing It's deerees
Professor Reeves declared Il was
outside the bounds of possibility than
an American submarine crew would
ever sink an enemy lnsltania. He
criticized the administration for an
alleged change of front regarding
armed merchantmen questions

Columbus, n. NJ, April 2S.--Thc
largest force OF troops which has left
Columbus since the initial command
crossed the border six weeks ago. is
encamped tonight on the frontier, fif-
teen miles west of here The troops
consisting of more than a regiment of
cavalry, are preparing to cross the
line into Mexico at daybreak tomor-
row.
Reason for Order Unknown.
The soldiers left Columbus upon or
ders of Gen. J. j. Pershing. expcdi-
tionafy commander, and it was stated
at military headquarters here tonight
that no reasons had been outlined in
the order Pewons In constant touch
with the border situation offered va
.rious solutions. One belief expressed
was that General Pershing feels that
his shortened line of communication.
which extends from Columbus to san
Antonio. u distance OF about 325
miles, is in need of further strength
ening. Another was that the eXpedi-
tionary commander fears that one of
the stipulations in the conference be-
tween Generals Scott, Funston and
Obregon will be that no more Ameri-
can troops shall cross the boundary
and is anticipating such an agree
ment by bringing his command to a
strength that will enable it to cope
with any emergency.
Generals May Visit Columbus.
II was reported here that Major
Generals Scott and Funston will come
to Columbus during one Of the inter-
walls OF the conference. II was point
ed out that II is probable that tie de-
partmental commander and chief of
staff may desire TO make an inspcc-
tion of the expeditionary base to as
slst them In the redispostion of the
troops.
Active preparations for continuing

Some apprehension was aroused to-

that four trainloads OF CarranZa SOL

drawn from tho district, were being
reconeentrated near Guerrero. The
ostensible purpose Of the movement

MEET TF1E
LABOR USES UNIQUE METHOD
q TO POPULARIZE AN IDEA.
Union Stamps Are Going to Tell tn,
Us Story.

Organized labor, operating through
the Labor Center Association in New
York City, is sending to labor unions
throughout the country over 5,OOO,-
600 stamps, each. meant to carry a
special publicity message.
Z The. stamps areE to be affixed to
letters after the manner of Red Cross
stamps and stamps advertising ma
tional expositions. Each stamp car
ries the slogan, "For the Eight Hour
Day--A Movement Nearer to JUS
tice.p "A portion of the stamps de-
sign shows a, day. split into eight
hour periods, one for work, one for
sleep and one for recreation.
1t is. the plan to distribute the
stamps to all friends of the eight
hour movement, whether employers,
union members, or sympathizers. Be
sides sending them out on letters, I'M
ion members receiving them are asked
to paste them on mirrors in the shops,
on literature distributed to workmen,
and on bills and letters that go di-
rectly to business men.
The idea of using the eight-hour
stamps in nationwide publicity cam
paign was worked out after the In
dustrial Relations Commission had de-
veloped the fact that the Rockefeller
interests were paying Ivy Lee $4,000
per year to act as the Rockefeller
press agent. 1t was suggested that or
gained labor had concentrated its en-.
erg1es so completely on wage fights
that it had neglected the educational
opportunities such as organized cap.
ital employed with great skill.
A stamp by the use of which every
union member could constitute him
self "an Ivey Lee of the labor cause
as the result.
Children will be asked to paste
the stamps on their lesson papers with
this note to their school teachers
Teacher, teach us these truths"
Members Of church congregations
will be asked to send stamp to the
priest or preacher suggesting as a ser.
mon: Nearer to Justice-the Eight.
Hour Day."
Organizations, societies, and pub
lie officials who express sympathy
with the eight-hour cause are to be
supplied with large quantities for ust

REVENUES INCREASED
UNDER NEW RATES

Washington, March 14.-Revenues
OF forty-three railroads operating east

Ohio and Potomac increased by about
$3,8O0O00 during the month of .Octo-
Der, 1915, under the new rates au-
thorized by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the per cent, case.
In an estimate made public today the
commission says this increase is made
by taking the traffic actually handled
in October and applying both the old
and new rates.
On freight traffic the increase was
about $2,700000 and on passenger
about $4,000.
