HERE'S NEW WAY
TO WIN HER HEART
At MINIMUM COST

CHICAGO, Sept. 2o.-There is q
young man in this town who is going
to win a girls heart IL he has to
swindle every firm in the place.
Last week he telephoned to 3. F.
RubIe, a confectioner, and ordered a
IS box Of bonbons sent TO an address.
When the delivery boy arrived with
the candy, young man about twenty
three years old, clad in a gladstone
suit of gray, received the package,
excused himself. and vanished, leav-
ing the boy to whistle for his money.
Later the same young man tele-
phoned to Lange's floral shop and or
dered SIS worth of flowers. The deliV-
cry boy handed over the flowers to q
youth in gray, who excused himself
and vanished, leaving the boy money
less.
That young man probably will be
wanting an engagement ring one OF
these days, wherefore 1t may be wise
for the jeweler who gets the order to
perform the delivery with an ak.

At international law it had al
ways been recognized that private
individuals and corporations have
the right to sell arms and munitions
Of war to any belligerent, and in
The Hague convention held in 1907
this right was expressly ratified and
confirmed.
The same Director Kriege, who
represented Germany at this Hague
conference in 1907 in the debates on
this point said:
The neutral boats which engage
in such a trade commit a violation
Of the duties of neutrality. How
ever, according to a principle gen.
orally recognized, the State of which
the boat flies the flag is not
responsible for this violation. The

! fore leaving Germany, in January,
| 1917, and after L had learned OF the
| probability of the resumption OF ruth
| less submarine war, at an evening
party to DR.. Solf's, the colonial min
ister's, a large German, who turned
] out to be one OF the grand dukes OF
MeckleRburg-S -Schwerin, planted him
self some distance away from me and
addressed me in German, saying: ou
are the American ambassador. and
want to tell you that the conduct OF
! America in furnishing arms and am
munitiOn to the enemies OF Germany
IS stamped deep on the German heart,
that we will never forget it and will
some day have our revenge"
He spoke in a voice so loud and
| slapped his chest so hard that every
one in the room stopped his CONVEX
sation in order to hear. As he wore
on his breast the orders of the Black
Eagle, the Red Eagle, the Elephant,
and the Seraphim, when he struck
all this menagerie the rattle alone
was quite loud. 1 reminded him po-
litely of The Hague convention, of
the fact that we could not change
international law from time to time
with the change in the situation OF
the war and that Germany had fur
nished arms to England to use
against the Beers. But he simply
answered, saying, I'VE care nothing
for treaties" and my answer, THAT

too obvious to be omitted.

America All public opinion was with
the German government when the
warning was issued on February 4,
1915, stating that the blockade Of
England would commence on the 18th
and warning neutral ships to keep
out OF the war zone.
From then on we had constant
cases and crises with reference to
the sinking of American boats by
the German submarines. There were
the cases OF the Gulflight and the
Cushing and the Falaba, an English
boat sunk without warning on which
Americans were killed
On May 8, 1915, Director Krtege, OF

effort to stop our foreign commerce

everything in her power to destroy
English commerce and merchant ship
ping. There was. however, never al
any time an intention to destroy OF
interfere with neutral commerce or
to attack neutral shipping unless en-
gagged in contraband trade. In view
OF the action OF the British govern
ment in arming merchant vessels and
causing them to develop their ma

avoidable. Naval officers in command

Every submarine has its commander -generaly captain-who acts as the very brains Of the ship. No one else can give orders. for so interconnected are all the machines that the con f,icting commands from more than one officer would almost surely result in an accident; hence every one reports directly to the captain through the second officer in command. who. by the way. is also responsible for the correct operation of everything from the ballast tanks 10 the torpedoes.
