Stark Rejects Plan
To Extend 3-MiIe Limit
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Suggestions that Congress extend
the traditional smile shore limit
have been rejected as futile by Ad-
miral Harold r. Stark, chief of
Naval Operations.
When Representative Scrugham,
Democrat, Of Nevada suggested a
law extending the smile limit to
the continental shelf, Admiral Stark
said the problem was not as simple
as that.
The discussion, during coEs;dera-
ton of the naval appropriations bill
by a House committee, was made
public today. v~s
Changes in long established &C.
ognized. international limits by one
power might not, and probably
would not, be accepted by some 9TH
ers, particularly if these others saw
their own previously accepted rights
injured thereby" Admiral Stark
said.
IF we fail automatically to OBJ
tain international acceptance Of our
own convention, we would either
have to give in or fight to put it
over. -
I'VE must protect our commerce
and our interests wherever we can,
hnd we must seek and strike an
enemy whenever and wherever we
can effectively weaken him. 70 at
tempt to define this in pea:etime
would be utterly futile and, in my
opinion, inimical to the national
welfare"

Sinking Of BurgerdTk
Upheld by Germans

BERLIN, Feb. 13 (P.-Authorized
sources said today that the COM
mander of a German submarine was
within his lega! rights if he tor
pedoed the Netherlands steamer
Burgerdijk, because the ship was
en- route to the British contraband
control station at the Downs.
The Holland Amerika Line re-
ported yesterday that the 6.853-ton
freighter was torpedoed Saturday
on a voyage from New York for
Rotterdam.
Under German prize court law
any neutral vessel headed for
belligerent port, whether voluntarily
or not, must be considered by Ger
man naval officers as carrying con-
traband.
Authorized sources asserted that
If the British had examined the
Netherlands ship on the high seas
without asking her to 60 to The
Downs the case would have been
different.
These sources said no word had
been received directly from any
submarine commander reporting
the sinking of the Burgerdijk.

Wagner Act Defended
By Lynch, A. FL Leader

George @. Lynch, an A. F.. of L.
union chief, renewed his attack on
the A. F. Of LIS Wagner Act amend

gram for revising the Wagner Act
n January, 1899.
In an article prepared for the
forthcoming issue of the Pattern
Makers Journal, he writes:
! Opening the Wagner Act for
amendments at this time will play
Into the hands of reactionary en-
ployers and labor baiters. The A.
=. of L. may be seeking minor
Ghanges to correct inequities, but
nothing short of complete emascu-
htion will satisfy the enemies of
