REPUBLICANS FORESEE
MOVE TO BALK US. SUBS
Safeguarding of American Shipping
Holds House in Discussion.

The submarine policy OF the United
S. ates, and the problem of safeguarding
American shipping were yesterday
brought to the front In both branches Of
Congress. Resolutions and debate on the
principles involved in the German crisis
mSrked the days proceedings in the
House and Senate.
Republicans in the House deprecated
any policy which might deprive the Unit
ed States of the full effectiveness Of her
submarines in q future war.
A resolution, introduced In the House
by Representative Platt Of New York,
demanded Information as to whether
American ships are being held in port
because of the threats of any nation,
and as to steps taken or proposed to be
taken, to protect American shipping. In
a statement accompanying the resolution
Representative Platt declared his object
was:
First, to show that the House is TAX
ing some notice of the intolerable posi-
ton in which American shipping has been
placed as a result of the policy of mac
ton and indecision following the Prest-
dents announcement of the breaking of
diplomatic relations with Germany.
Second to point way by which the
situation may perhaps be saved and the
honor and dignity of the United States
upheld without declaring war, and with
out any fv:ther actual participation in
the great European war that will be
necessarily involved In protecting our
shipping. our citizens, and our commerce
from unlawful and inhuman acts of Ger
man armed vessels"
Representative Platt proposed to arm
American merchant ships following the
precedent laid down in 1888 when France
attacked American ships at sea.

DISPUTE CASE OF GIRL
who Slew WAR infant
France Not United in Applauding Deed
of Her Who Cried. Its Boche."
BY C. r. BERTELLI.
UnternatIonaI News Service. D


Paris, Feb. 10-An impassioned dis
cussion by the leading men and women
of France on the right OF the female tc
choose the father Of her children and
to suppress the offspring of the unloved
male has followed the acquittal by 8
Paris jury of Josephine Barthelemy OF
a charge of infanticide.
The girl, who belonged to a good
family of Chambley, Lorraine, alleged
that she was a victim of the German
invasion in the earlier days of the war.
She was allowed to return to Paris via
Switzerland, and on August 15 last gave
birth to a child. whom she Immediately
killed, crying: "Its a Boche; 1 don't
want it"
The jury's verdict of mot guilty. was
greeted with loud applause, but the
thinking sections of the public are far
from approving the acquittal.
Baron de Waleffe leads and voices the
contrary view. "The child whose life the
Paris jury held so cheap was not Ger
man." he contends. Every female in
stinctively feels that the child is much
more hers than the fathers, and the
whole weight of modern thought, as well
as medicine, is bound to support that
view.
Josephine Barthelemy's child was
emphatically French; to kill it was
worse than a crime-it was a foolish
action such as no jury ought to have
approved. All girl-mothers who in
the immediate future kill their offsprins
will be able to say: "Oh, 1t was 6
Boche"
