In eality, therefore, any such armament Bt & merchant vessel now might be regarded, as, offensive armament. . If submarines should be required o stop and search merchant vessels ore attacking them and to remove ) passengers and crews to places )t safety, it is not fair that the sub- nes should be compelled to ex- themselves to destruction at the ds of merchantmen. Therefore, by a general agreement nhong the belligerents submarines puld be required to adhere strictly the present provisions of interna- onal law to stop and search mer- nt ships; to ascertain their bellig- pent character and to remove the sengers and crew to safety be- fore sinking them. No Armament At AlL On the other hgnd merchant vessels should not be permitted to carry any Armament at all. | There is grave doubt of ‘the legal right to carry armament on merchant ghips, and it is submitted that all nations should be animated by a de~ sire to save the lives of innocent peo- ple and therefore should not insist Wpon the exercise any supposed technical right. Is your government willing to make Buch a declaration conditioned on o Mimilar declaration by its enemies? Impressed With Arguments. The United States government has been very much impressed with the srguments that have been advanced in certain quarters that any merchant gessel which carries guns in any po- sition capable of use against an aux- fliary cruiser and is seriously con- | sidering the announcement of a pur- ‘Pose in maritime warfare resulting om the introduction of the subma- ¥ine and its defenseless character. The foregoing is substantially the note which Secretary Lansing yester- iay announced he had transmitted to “A foreign power or powers.” He refused to discuss the subject further. ma- | BY MAY chosen.

MAY SUE IN NAME OF “NEW HAVEN” ROAD Superior Court Virtually Empowers | Proceed | | Minority Steckholders to With Action to Recover $102,000,000 Boston, Jan. 28.—The superior court virtually empowered —minority stockholders of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rallroad to pro- ceed in the name of the corporation in their suit to recover from former directors of the road $102,000,000 al- leged to have been lost by improper purchases. Judge Braley, in allowing two amendments to this effect which were filed recently by minority interests, al- lowed the respondents thirty days in which to demur or plead. Counsel for the respondents in- formed the court that they probably would demur to the amendments, as they had to the original bill. The demurrer against the bill was sus- tained by the full bench on the ground that the bill did not set forth a sufficlent cause of action. The amendments contend that the railroad corporation having refused to proceed against its former officers the minority interests should be given the right to sue in the name of the road.

(Springfield Republican.) From time to time an effort is made by students of journalism or of so- ciology to analyze the contents of the current newspapers and to reduce the results of statistical form. There is special interest in a study of this kind made by Thomas R. Garth and pub- lished in School and Society for Jan- r because it is the first statis- tical analysis since the outbreak of the war, which has changed most things in the world and could not fail to affect greatly newspapers even in the most remote countries. that the world war is the est news event that a newspa- ever had to chronicle is an un- atement; in all th > history of the world no catastrophe ever had so wide a reverberation as the crash of Au- | gust, 1914, and no news ever came o | near to reaching with crushing weight | on the newspape s well as on the minds of their reade It has well- night destroyed the old scale of news values, and has made insignificant niany things which a few yvears ago would have seemed tolerably import- | less tant It is not surprising, therefore, to! find that an analysis of the contents of 138 newspapers, partly Virginian, partly taken from the country al large, shows that more space is gives to the war than to any other subjeet The method adopted was to take all the “reading matter” of each papet as 100 and ascertain the percentggt given to each of the 32 topics fixed upon. These percentages were then reduced to a single table showing the average percentage thus War, 14; sport 0.14; government, 10; business, 7.7; {inance, 6.22; crimé 6.14; politics, education, 8.81 deaths and births, 3.6; society. 8.8 safety and accidents, noted pére sons, 2.7; industries, 2 religion, literature, 1.8; persons not noted, p8 agriculture, 1.7; theater, 1.5; mdie riage, 1.3; benevolence, 1.21; {mprov ments, 1.20; weather, 1.1; jokes, 0.8 household arts, 0.9; science and dis covery, 0.8; fashion, 0.7; amusemafits and recreation, 0.6; exposition, 08 divorce, 0.4; invention, 0.4; tran portation, 0.3; art, 0.2. “ To a certain extent, of course, this division, and the figures based on ft, are arbitrary. Several of the subjetts tabulated separately might have been thrown together, making a larger tot- al. But with the exeption of business and finance it would not be easy thus to make a group outwelghing the war. It would be extreme to take the space alloted to any subject for & measure either of the estimate it upon its Importance or of the intensity nd prevalence of public interest | While no kind of news can permanent= ly command a great deal of space In# great number of newspapers unless# large public is interested in it, those who handle news quickly come 0 recognize that some kinds are i~ trinsically bulky, while other kinds ne important or interesting can b8 packed into small space. Thus AW great space given to sports in the modern newspaper is in part of a recs ognition of a keen and widespresd interest, and in part a necessity fme posed by the fact that news of this kind, if it is to be given at all, needs® great deal of space for detall, From this point of view the held by the war news Its bulk is unavoidably increased by the impossibility of getting at the pure core of fact. Instead various cos flicting claims have to be presenfefy with whatever collateral information is available. Sometimes to the neWss gatherers it is llke making brigks without straw. Yet while the censdts ship compels roundabout methods and tedious reduplication or bewllderitif controversy, it is also true that it full story of the war could be" tol from day to day it would stamp eveffs thing; no newspaper could possf deal with it. So while the statisties thus laboriously compiled show striks ingly how great a place is taken by the war in the news of the day, the fig ures will not bear pressing. On the one side what war news comes is e ssarily bulky because it comes from many sources, and on the other ¥ all the news available does scant jus- tice to the magnitude of the event. place is anomalvys,
