SUBMARINE USE
TO Be OUTLAWED
Naval Committee to Discuss
Second Root Proposal

Washington, Dec. 80, tBy A. P)-y-
Decision of the American proposal to
outlaw the use of submarines against
merchant craft was awaited today
from three of the five powers
France, Italy and Japan--when the
naval committee of the arms confer
ence resumed discussion OF the second
Root proposal for a new rule In in
ternational law to accomplish that
purpose. Approval Of this proposal
was given by Great Britain yesterday
during its brief consideration which
followed agreement in principle by all
the powers to the first article Of the
Root resolutions reaffirming existing
rules of naval warfare and their strict
application to submarine operations
against merchant craft.
The proposal to prohibit submarine
operations against merchant vessels
went over for further committee dis
cusson today with a proposed amend
ment by the British delegates whereby
the five powers would agree finally be-
tween themselves to such prohibition
without awaiting world assent to
such a proposal. The amendment
was offered after the suggestion had
been accepted by Mr.. Root as author
Of the resolutions and the discussion
ended for the day at that point with
out any expression on the second pro-
posal by delegates of the other pow
ers.
AS adopted in substance by the
naval committee and sent to sub
committee for final drafting, the first
Root proposal sets out anew the rules
of visit and search belligerent
craft must observe in operating naval
vessels and couples with this the de-
cision that submarines must be gov
erened by these rules the resolution
was to be valued, Secretary Hughes
declared during its discussion as a
reminder to any of the signatory ma

might arise that the weapons which

WASHINCTON'S HISTORIC ROAD
 TO BE REBUILT
CBy Interna, News scrvice)

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The his toric GeorgetownL Leesburg pike, over which George Washington and La fayette used to canter on their early. morning horseback rides, is about to be rebuilt. Though this thoroughfare was once the pride of Washingtonians and Virginians, 1t has been allowed to sink into disrepair and today is impossible to motor vehicles during the greater part of the year
 For months business men in Wash, ington and farmers living between the capital and Leesburg have been advocating restoration of the pike both from 6 feeling of patriotic pride in it's historical associations and be. cause they feel the need of a mod. ern thoroughfare to the city, and already two miles of first-class ma. cadamized road have been construct. ed.
 The Georgetown.Leesbu pike is one of the oldest roads in the United States. When the British threatened the national capital with fire in 1912 the archives and official documents of the youthful republic were trans, ported by ox-teams along this pike to safety. Along this route, too, many battles of the Civil war were fought, and Virginians still tell of the exploits of Mosby and his men, pointing out places where skirmishes occurred. On this road are to be found the ruins of the home of the man who, according to tradition. killed the first man who fell in the Civil war. The whole road is an evi- dcnce of the engineering skill of George Washington, for he is credit od with having laid it out" as a young surveyor.
 The Improvements now coutcm- plated include a good road for motor traffic from the pike 10 Great Falls park, where the ruins oG many Of George Washington's engineering projects are to be found.
