URGES SENATE TO
PROTECT PROPERTY
OF ENLISTED MEN

I Secretary of War Baker today
urged protection OF the property
rights OF American soldiers while they
! are abroad fighting the nations bat
/ ties He urged a Senate subcommittee
/ to report favorabIy on the soldiers
/ and sailors civil rights bill.
Baker met Unexpectedly stiff oppo-
sitoin from Senator Reed OF Missouri,
who said the bill as drawn will de-
stroy the credit OF soldiers and sailors
| instead OF protecting IL.
The bill provides that creditors Of
! soldiers and sailors cannot begin or
press court proceedings for collection
Of accounts until ninety days after the
enlisted mans return from foreign
service.
Reed Flights Bill.
This means that a soldier or sail
or seeking credit now won't be able
to get It," said Reed, because the
merchant will know he can't get his
money until the war Is over"
Passage OF this bill is important
to. the morale OF our forces" said
Baker. THE Government is asking
the soldier and sailor to go abroad.

VIII Net Interfere.
Senator Fletcher thought the bill
would invade State rights, but this,
Baker assured him, would not be the
case. Baker based his statement on
the word of legal experts who helped
draw the measure.
Senator OVerman said any court
that permitted injustice to an absent
soldier ought to be hung.
well, this bill proposes to put
judges in Jail II they simply carry out
the plain precepts of the law in relA-

'Will you say, Mr.. Secretary, that
we can pass q law that will imprison
judges for doing that?'
Baker said he didn't believe the law

war. 1t was also suggested that a
number of neutral vessels should be
added to those sailing under the
American flag to give greater oppor-
tunity for those Americans who were
compelled to travel abroad. The notes
most important part continued: in
particular, the imperial government is
unable to admit that the American
citizens can protect an enemy ship by
mere fact of their presence on board"
U-ESat Proposals Rejected.
July 81 the American Government
rejected the proposals OF Germany,
saying THAT the lives of noncom-
batants may in no case be put in
jeopardy unless the vessel resists or
seeks to escape after being sum-
moned to submit to examination" 1t
disposed OF the claim that the acts
OF England gave Germany the right
to retaliate even though American
citizens should be deprived Of their
lives in the course OF retaliation by
stating: For a bel!igerent act of re-
taliation is per Sc an act beyond the
law, and the defense of an act of re-
taliation is an admission that IL is il
legal" Continuing IL said: IF a bel
ligerent cannot retailiate against an
enemy without injuring the lives Of
neutrals, as well as their property,
humanity as well as justice and q
due regard for dignity of neutral
powers should dictate that the prac-
tice be discontinued"
1t was also said That the United
States cannot believe that the i'm
perial government Will longer re-
frain from disavowing the wantcn
act OF its naval commander in sink
ing the Lusitania or from offering
reparation for tbs American lives
lost, SO far as PREPARATION can be
made for the needless destruction Of
human life by an illegal act" And
the meat Of the note was contained
in the following sentence: Friend
ship itself prompts it (the United
States) to Say to the imperial govern
ment that repetition by the com
manders Of German naval vessels of
acts in contravention of these rights
must be regarded by the Government
of the United States, when they af-
feet American citizens, as being de-
liberately unfriendly."
There the matter has remained so
far as the Lusitania was concerned
until now. In the meantime the at
tack on the American ship Nebraskan
was disavowed, the German note
stating that 1.-The torpedo was not
meant for the American flag, and is
to be considered an unfortunate ac-
cident"
The diplomatic situation with re-
gard to the use OF the submarine and
the attack on many merchant ships
without notice and without putting
the passengers in safety was stiil
unsettled when on August 10, 1915.
the British ship Arabic was torpedo,d
without warning not far from the
place where the Lusitania had gone
down Two Americans were among
the passengers killed.
The German government. after the
usual quibbling, at length in its note
Of September asserted that the cap
tain OF the German submarine, while |
engaged in preparing to sink the
Dunsley, became convinced that the |
approaching Arabic was trying IN |
ram him and, therefore. fred his tor
pedo- The imperial government re-
fused to admit any liability, but Of |
tered to arbitrate.

Strange Roll OF Honor That ls kept
by tho Authorities at Famed
Scotland Yard.

A roll Of honor which forms a
noble commentary on the impartial
ity Of British police methods and the
fairness Of British justice is, says
the Daily Express of London, in the
proud keeping Of the authorities at
New Scotland Yard.
1t is a roll Of honor Of men who
forsook their life Of crime and vol
unfairly offered their lives to their
country on the outbreak Of the war.
There are 70 names on the roll. All
OF them we're criminals and became
clean-living, self-sacrihcing soldiers
when they realized that their country
was in peril
The majority Of these 10 men have
been killed in action. Some Of them
were decorated for bravery. Ono
man was awarded the Victoria cross
for a brilliant achievement in the
trenches in France; another was dec
GRATED by the car with the St
Georges cross.
The roll Of honor Is, OF course, not
for public inspection; It is a conf
Dental record, and, framed in oak,
It hangs in the private room Of Basil
Thomson, assistant commissioner,
criminal investigation department.
