Back Goes Duty on Sugar.

Legislation repeating the free sugar
clause of the Underwood tariff law be-
fore May /, the date on which the pro
vision would become effective, with a
resultant annual loss of S40,000000 of
revenue, virtually was assured yesterday
as a result of the action of the House
Democratic caucus Thursday night.
The proposed legislation was decided
upon by vote of "a to 20 after vigor-
GUS fight against it led by Representative
Heating of Colorado, who denounced the
action as a reputation of party doctrine.
Ten Democrats declined, because of other
pledges or convictions, to be bound by
the caucus decision.
Democratic leaders were preparing yes
terday to carry out the caucus action
through a bill prepared by Majority
Leader Kitchin, which will be one way
of meeting the expense of national de-
Tense. Other ways suggested are
through the income tax and excise tax
on special articles and war munitions.

warning, or of merchant ships armed
against submarines.
The view is held by officials Of the
government that the United States could
give the warning simply in recognition
that international law as 10 submarine
warfare is in course of change; that since
there are strong arguments on both the
German and allied sides, and neither be-
ing willing to yield while the war is in
progress, the only thing for Americans
to do is to stay out of the line Of fire.
A solemn warning by this government,
coupled with the direction for neutral
citizens to have the assurance that guns
mounted for defense would not be used
after warning from a submarine would
have its effect. 1t is doubt
ed, however, that such warning would
entirely remove the risk of this govern
meut's being involved by submarine at
tacks during the rest of the war.

from England direct refusal to adopt

TAKES
UP NEW DEMANDS
Lansing Discusses Situation with Presi-
dent Before Regular Meeting
of Aids.

Washington, Feb. l9.--The submarine
situation with its new developments was
discussed at yesterdays cabinet meeting.
Secretary Lansing went to the White
House before the cabinet assembled and
discussed the question with the president
at some length
1t was indicated yesterday that Aus
tria, too, will be notified OF the assur-
ances which the cnted States is asking
for the future so that the position OF
this government may be fully and uni
formly known to the Germanic allies.
A long dispatch from Ambassador
Bernstorif was on its way to Berlin yes
terday explaining that in its negotiations
with Germany over submarine warfare
the United States will accept nothing
short of a complete agreement covering
all points for which it has contended as
to assurances that the warfare in the flu
ture viii be conducted in accordance with
the established principles of information
al law.
It is understood that the ambassador
informed his government that the United
States considers Germany's declaration
Of its intention to sink armed merchant
ships without warning after Feb. 20, in
with the assurances given in
the Arabic case.
1t was said that he told the Berlin
foreign Office that Secretary Lansing has
him that the United States de-
,ires the German declaration regarding /
armed merchant ships to be modified and I
hat the tentative communication de-
igned to end the Lusitania case viii not |
,e formally accepted by this country I'M
ii assurances regarding the future con-
luct of German submarine warfare is
,iven.
In Teutonic diplomatic circles it was
tated that the Berlin foreign office would
lot modify the declaration OF intention
0 sink armed ships or inform this coun-
nv that previous assurances were bind
ng unless Great Britain should give as
urances that submarine defense arma-
nent would not be fired upon.

tain from what the British ambassador
has told the secretary that England will
not yield her rights under international
law
The reason for the anticipated refusal
by Great Britain to subscribe to the adj
ministration's proposals of Jan IS for a
change in submarine warfare are histor-
ic. The reason why the United States
cannot declare its proposals effective is
the recognized principle that any act by
a neutral changing the conditions of war
fare TO the benefit of any one belligerent
is an unfriendly act.

To Warn Armed Ships Be-

Attack
WILL INSIST ALLIES
FIRST GIVE PLEDGE
That Merchantmen Will Not
Use Their Guns Against
Submarines

Washington, Feb. l9-"What Englan'
decides" is to-day crux in the relation
between the United States and Germany
The international situation has devei
oped in such a way as in part to tak'
control of the future out of the hands o.
this government.
/ Count Won Bernstorff has informally
announced to Secretary Lansing that
Germany will never agree to warn armed
passenger ships whose guns are TO be
used for defense against submarines
When the Berlin government has official
ly confirmed this statement the United
States will ask from England the pledge
that her passenger ships, though armed,
will not use their guns. If England re-
fuses. as the intimation is she viii, the
United States will have TO seek another
course for the protection of its citizens
at sea.
What this course will be the state de-
partment is not yet discussing. The
United States might warn its citizens to
STAY off armed liners. Ii all travellers
did so the difficulty would be solved, but
il is presumed that the government
would not. in giving such warning, an
nounce the withdrawal of its protection
10 citizens who did choose to take the
risk. ANY such warning on the subject
would be a tacit recognition of Ger
many's right to sink armed vessels with
out warning in accordance with the Ger
man admiralty instructions effective on
March I. Against any such warning Is
the view that a neutral would thus be
subscribing to policy Of weakening
neutral rights and responsibilities under
law.
Such a warning to Americans by this
would be all that Germany
wants. If the United States continued

Is Suggestion Made at the
Investigation into

ALL THE FACTS
Would Have Evidence Gath
cred in All Parts Of
New England

Boston, Feb. l0.-At the resumption
yesterday of the investigation of Nes
England milk rates by the interstate
commerce commission, II, X. Smith, rep
resenting the Dairymen's Association OF
Connecticut, asked Chairman c. c, Mo
Chord to conduct hearings in each OF the
six states.
He based this request on the conten-
ton that the farmers suffered from lack
of organization and that the commission
could obtain information only by going
into the proper districts.
Chairman McChord took the matter
under adyisement.
Henry l.. Hall, milk agent of the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad, was examined by
Attorney General Henry C. Atwill Of
Massachusetts,, regarding the attitude of
his company toward the so-called Saun-
ders act passed by the Massachusetts
legislature last year and which prohibits
the leasing of milk cars to wholesale
dealers. Mr.. Hall said that under the
act the Boston & Maine railroad, which
brings more than half the milk into Bos-
ton, had been obliged to operate more
cars. he denied that there was any an
tagonism by the road toward shippers
Mr.. Hall stated that every can of milk
shipped from point outside OF Massa-
chusetts into Boston would have to come
either by baggage or under a 6OO-ean
rate. He admitted that health regula-
tions prevented shipments by baggage in
the summer without icing.
1t also developed that shipments from
n. H., for instance, under the I
600-can rate, which provides icing, would I
cost 500, while under the leased-car sys-
TEN it would be possible to ship 1850 T

SPORTING GOSSIP
FROM MANY FIELDS

In the midst of the great European
war the idea of international sport and
competition viii not down. The advo-
Gates of these games are constantly adj
vaneing plans for such meetings, to take
place during hostlities or Immediately
following the declaration of peace. 1t is
repeatedly pointed out that such friend
| ~ engagements in the realms C>'sport
win either help in bringing about peace
or act as a balm for the bitterness en-
genered by the conflict.
! An example of these frequent efforts is
shown in plans for an international sport
meeting after the war to be held in Hol-
land, the land of international meetings.
This interesting idea is put forward in
one of the leading Dutch newspapers by
a sport enthusiast. The writer argues
that when peace comes economic neces-
sity viii soon draw the present beliger-
ents together again and prepare the way
for international sport. which will in its
turn react favorably oil the relations Of
those now engaged in so bitter a strug-
gle with gun and bayonet.
Such international sport meetings,
however, he points out, call for diplo-
matte and careful preparation. One can
not, for instance, expect to see a foot
ball match, Germany versus Britain, in
Berlin in the first post-w season. Hence
Hollands opportunity to perform a deli
cate task, with the support OF America /
and other neutrals, by making that coun-

once representatives Of the present bel
ligerents had met on a Dutch playing
field the process would develop OF itself
very quickly, leading to q full restora
ton Of the valuable international sport.
To any pessimist inclined to ask
whether the warning nations will have
any men to spare for sport after the
present slaughter. the writer points out
that football is still being played week

More Opposition to waterpower Bill.

Serious opposition is developing in the
Senate to the passage of the Shields
waterpower bill The debate on this
| days, and the end is not vet in sight.
The administration, following the lead of
! former Secretary of War Garrison to
whom the bill was submitted for com
ment, has announced that it will not de-
clare its position till the bill comes to
the White House for signature Mean
while, the conservationists are denounc-
ing the measure as being out OF harmony
with the conservation policies of Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Taft, and they are
having read into the record messages of
the past.
Several senators Thursday offered
amendments looking towards strength
ening the bill by giving the federal gov
eminent compensation for the WATERPROOF
er leased from the government, limiting
term of the leases to private capital, and
providing that at the end of the lease
the government may buy back the plant
at cost, without paying for unearned in
crement.
Meanwhile the House is marking time
On LHe AuhHsOH Dill, Wflcn Is tine cOun-
