UNDERSEA BOAT
BAN SUGGESTED
Arthur Pollen, Naval Ex-
pert, Says Submarines Are
Greatest War Menace.

London. Feb. 9 CVia British Wire
less Service) e).-Condem of the
submarine as an instrument OF war
fare and the suggestion for an in
ternational ban on the building of
the undersea terrors are contained
in an article written by Arthur
Pollen. the we'll known naval
writer. which appears today in the
Sunday Times.
"As an arm against a fighting
navy the submarine has failed" Mr..
Pollen writes. It's only real sue
cess has been against unarmed
ships, and these, by a long prescrip-
ton of sea law, have always been
treated by civilized nations as inn
mune from sudden and fatal attack.
They were subject only to con-
straint being put upon their move
ments.
Germans Break Law.
Until war was made at sea by
the German nation, all unarmed
ships, belligerent or neutral, could
put to sea during hostilities with
absolute confidence that the lives
were in safety and indeed that the
comfort of all aboard would be re-
spected. They could be searched, cap
tured, condemned as prize and con-
fiscated, but they could not be at
tackled and sunk without warning
unless they resisted search.
1T was a breach of these precepts
of humanity-precepts far Older
than regulating land .war-that
gives such war efficiency as it pos
sessed to the problem. This eff
cheney, intolerable in war because
of it's loathsome cruelty, was ar
even greater danger in peace for in
war at least the knowledge that this
danger existed made protection pos.
sible and certain.
But if the world condones the
submarines and their offenses anC
allows this type of ship to continue
then any nation possessing vessels
of this sort will have the power o.
paralyzing the sea service of Other
nations and inficting losses in &
time of profound peace.
Secondly, if no submarines are t
be used in war except those who's,
construction is commenced after the
war has begun, then we should, a.
any rate. have nine months to a yeal
of hostilities before the submarine
could possibly intervene.
Submarines Terror.
IF there were no submarines ir
the world, a secret and treacherou:
commencement of a war would b.
made impossible: One huge haunt.
ing horror. would at least be defin,
| itely removed, as it would be lapse
of a year before the first boat would
be available for. experimental ant
instructional work.
IF this supposition is correct. ther
the abolition is virtually practic,

Now, the objection naturally aris-

Here we touch upon what some con-

wiser to insert in the agreement of
November II few precise, brief

Indeed, the, agreements of December

Attempt to Burn Wilson in

Party Decries Act.

Although the Anthony amend
ment, granting the women of the
country nationwide suffrage. was
within less than twenty-four hours
time of a reintroduction into the
Senate, seventy-five militant sun
ragists marched to the front of the
White House yesterday afternoon
and attempted to burn an effigy of
the man who twice has appealed
personally to Congress to pass the
amendment
The .sutfraSists were frustrated in
their attempts by police, who ar
rested thirty-seven of their num-
Der and bundled them off to the
First and Third precincts, where
charges of. violating the park regu-
lations were placed against them.
A crowd of 1000 persons gathered.
due to the fact that an attempt to
burn an effigy of President Wilson
had been advertised.
Arrested Without Ceremony.
Capt. Peck, in charge of police
and detectives sent to the White
House, had several patrol autos
waiting and without ceremony ar
rested the wcmen.
This demonstration, unlike many
others, met Comparatively little
sympathy from those in the crowd.
They knew what to expect and
when the police backed W the au-
tomobiles to the sidewalk. the crowd
yelled and cheered, not the women,
but the police.
The suffragists charge that the
amendment is threatened with de-
feat today when it comes up in the
Senate, and took time yesterday to
vent their feelings toward, the
President even though he is not
here to again urge that the Senate
pass it.
Nineteen of the women are lock ed

other seventeen are locked up at
