SENATOR M'CUMbER
SEEKS INFORMATION

Washington, Feb. 9.-Senator Nc
Cumber (Rep, N. d. introduced
resolution to have the secretary of
state, IL compatible with public inter
ests, submit to the senate the govern
ment's view of the limitations on the
use of submarines demanded by the
government from Germany as set
forth in the diplomatic correspond
ence
II think 1t is not clear just what
we hold the limitations of submarines
to be in this war;" he said.
AS 1t was on this subject that we
severed relations with Germany we
ought to know as accurately as posi-
BILE just what the government deems
to be an infringement of international
law to the end that we may avoid a
conflict, If possible, and that other ma
tions may be put on their guard as
to what we believe to be gross abuse
of these sub-sea craft"
