Karly press dispatches from Ber- lin announcir the loss of the v 1 by a mine caused somewhat of a sen- swtion in this capital, where the ten- sion has been more or le pro- nounced over the situation in the war zone since the dispatch of warning| notes by the United States to both Great Britain and German It was virtually conceded that, if caus of the accident was proved to be mine, there probably would be no ground for diplomatic action by the United States, as the laying of mines is not prohibited by any international convention now in force. American Consul Iee forwarded from Bremen through the American consul-general at Rotter- dam, Holland, gave the state depart- ment meager information.

It had been virtually decided earlier today by the Washington government, to make no reply to either the British or the German notes concerning the use of neutral ensigns or possible at- tacks by submarines on neutral ves- sels in the new sea zones of war. Added significance was attached generally to this policy, because of the implication that the strong warn- ing sent to both Great Britain and Germany might now be followed by a crisis in the relations of this gov- ernment with the belligerents, if through their practices American ves- sels or lives were lost. Difficult ‘to Fix Blame. While mines have been laid in bel- ligerent waters since the early days of the war, American vessels here- tofore have not suffered any injury.

Rheumasalts is a sclentifically blended and chemically purc carbonated lithia drink that cleans out the stomach and intestines, eliminates toxins and poisons and leaves the intestinal canal clean and sweet. If you are bothered with constipation, headaches, sallow skin, coated tongue, bad breath, indigestion, biliousness, neu- ralgia or rheumatism, then vou need Rheumasalts. Fine for both adults and infants. Tt is a uric acid solvent as well as a sa- line laxative. Instead of “doping” yourself | with drug-forming, heart-depressing “lax- ative” pills and tablets, take Rheumasalts Tt is delicious to the taste and acts quickly without griping or nausea. Rheumasalts is as pure as the natural lax from the Mineral Springs. The next time you need a laxative, ask your druggist for about five ounces of Rheumasalts. If he hasn't the original Rheumasalts, write to the Rheumabath Company, Minneapolis, Minn., who will be glad to see that you are supplied. ng the blame for acci- kind has prevented the interested governments from taking diplomatic action. When the North Sea was first mined, some of the neu- tral countries protested to Germany and Great RBritain, but the States took the position that impossible to determine try had been the aggressor and, therefore, made no protest, though it does not consider its rights in any way compromised by this silence. Diplomatically, the United State: and neutrals generally are helpless far as obtaining redress for the lo: of their ships by contact with mines is concerned, unless absolute proof, a rare occurrence, could be adduced to show the nationality of the mines, that no pilot was available, or that the mines, drifting from their an- chorage, were far distance from bel- ]ig(\r(‘nt Ares ke onference of 1907. Efforts have been made from time to time to obtain an agreementamong the nations of the world to prohibit the laying of mines. England took the lead in this connection at the second Hague conference in 1907 and a convention finally was drafted and ratified by the United States and Great Britain and only a few of the though it never became Under its terms, it was unanchored automa- “‘except when become harmless after the person to control forbidden not bility of fiy dents of that it wa efféctive. forbidden to lay tic contact mines as to at most them ce: Similarl S anchored mines which do S0 one hour laid become harmless when breaking loose from tion their moorings. The conven- also provided: “It is forbidden to lay contact mines off the coa: of an enemy, with the sole object of intercepting commercial shipping. “When anchored automat mines are employed, every possible precau- tion must be taken for the security of peaceful shipping.” Articles Never Approved. These articles were never approved because of objections to their weak Germany, at the time, pointed out that ‘‘the belligerent has only to assert a different b, in r to make it many’'s opposition was backed hy ¥France and Russia, although TFng- land favored a proposal to prohibit outright the use of contact mines for use against commerce ports that were not being attacked from the sea. International law authoritles pointed out at the time that naval commanders under the suggested con- vention could easily think of some other reason for laying a cordon of mines off an enemy's port, than that of intercepting commercial shipping. One eminent English autority, Pro- fessor Lawrence, who was disappoint- ed at the failure of the Hague con- vention to provide for regulations against the use mines, wrote prophetically then: “Whe: in the past the only way of closing an enemy’'s ports agalusi all neutral commerce was to blockade it and the only way to blockade it was to station a ship or shipsin such a position as to create evident danger to all vessels attempting ingress or egress; for the future it will suffice in the judgement of many powers, to ——————————————— EVEN CROSS, SICK CHILDREN LOVE SYRUP OF FIGS automatic and ports illusor of If feverish, bilious, fruit laxative once. scold your fretful, peevish See if tongue is coated; this its little stomach, liver with sour constipated, give at' Don't child. is a sure sign and bowels' are clogged waste.

'Theyh will be destroye:d instead; and all on board will be sent to their doom."” Principles Still in Force. Inasmuch as the second Hague conventlon failed to provide an agree- | ment on the subject of mines, pre- viously accepted principles of inter- national law are held to be in force. In one of the publications of the | United States Naval College for the benefit of American naval command- ers, the status of the question of ! mines and torpedocs thus sum- marized: “It may is the use of mate means of hostil- between belligerents. This ! Position does not imply that mines | may be used at will without regard to those not concerned in the war.

Diplomatic Action Unlikely. It was considered unlikely that, be- yond claims for damage, there would be any diplomatic action resulting from the loss of the Evelyn, inasmuch as there is now no inte rnational con- vention in force prohibiting the lay- ing of mines either for offensive or defensive purposes. In the Russo- Japanese war, the Japanese strewed mines across the harbor and entrance to Port Arthur, which was held by the Russians, milarly the Japanese laid mines in Vladivostok wate across Peter The Great bay for a distance of forty mile While the laying of mines in offensive operations, such as the recent German note proclaimed, has not been acquiesced in as a bel- ligerent right, it is believed in official quarters that this and other pre- cedents would make it difficult for the United States to make further diplomatic protest, The prevailing opinion in circles today was that the United States government would stand firm- ly on its warnings to Great Brita and Germany, respectively, conc ing the misuse of neutral flags possible attacks on American ves or lives by submarines. This policy was regarded as significant of a pos- sible critical turn of affairs should any violations of the warning ensue. Had War Risk Insurance. The Evelyn is the first ship insured with the United States bureau of war risk insurance to be lost since it be- gan operations several months ago. Insurance on ships and cargoes amounting to more than $55,000,000 has been written. 3 The bureau was closed today. There is little doubt that legal proof of the destruction of the ship and cargo will result in prompt piyment of the insurance, Of the total amount of insurance written by the bureau more than half has expired with the arrival of ships and cargoes at destinations. The bureau hag earned in premiums more than $600,000, so that it is able to stand its first loss without resort to the appropriation made by congress. be was official ern- Cargo Valued at $350.000.

W. H. R. Killeen, of the firm of A, H. Bull & Co., former owners of the Evelyn, explained last night that the Evelyn formerly was a British ship, the Badsworth, launched more than a quarter of a century ago and given over for several years to international shipping. Sixteen years ago, he said, the vessel was towed into this port virtually a wreck, and after extensive repairs was put under American reg- istry and renamed the Evelyn, flying the American flag in the wise trade between here.and W Indies, Crew of Twenty A.
