ESTABLISHED 1876 ALLIES WILL OBSERVE BELLIGERENT RIGHTS Declaration of London Withdrawn For Broader Maritime Policy MUST PROVE DESTINATION Cargoes Will Be Regarded As for Enemies Unless It Is Proven Other- wise—Will Observe International Law and Rights of Neutrals—Pro- visions Made Public. Paris, July 8.—The French govern- ment, following the example of Great Britain has abandoned the declaration of London as an interpretation of A de- this maritime international law. cree to that effect appears in morning’s official journal. A memorandum accompanying the decree says that the rules of the Lon- don declaration were adopted by the Entente Allles at the beginning of the war as being the most expedient but that experience has shown that they did not give the results expected, either in securing to belligerents a full exercise of rights or affording adequate guarantee to neutrals. Con- sequently, the memorandum contin- ues, circumstances obliged the Allies to modify the rules of the declaration, But these successive modifications lead to false interpretations of the allies’ motives therefore they decided it were better to return to the ori- ginal they rules of international law generally accepted. In doing so, the memorandum con- cludes, the Allies declare solemnly will contlnue to observe the as principles rigidly, respecting lives and property of neutrals and being ready to make compensation for any unjus- tifiable damage caused to bonafide merchants. the British tinue the partial enforcement of lished today * under the declaration of London since London Withdraws.

N. 8.—Divine worship, without priest, the sacrament or vestments, with only women and children present, was viewed Sunday at Namiquipa by sightseers from the American expedi- tionary column. In a church built two years before the start of the American war of Independence, under the faint light of sunshine sifting in through breaks in the roof, a few Mex- ican women and children knelt on the floor. One candle, stuck in a beer bottle, illuminated the altar. There were no pews and the wor- ship was in complete silence. One of these women, it was learned, since banditry, revolution and unfavorable legislation have all but closed the church, has taken upon herself the of- fice of janitor and as nearly as she may, that of priestress. On Saint days amnd Sundays she with the wo- men who still cling to their religion, dress in their best—drab clothing it is—and perform sucn rites of wor- ship as are left to them. U. 5. TROOPS AWAITING THREATENED RAID New Organization, Said to Be Moving Toward Border, to Be Well Received. San Antonio, July 8.—For more than 200 miles eastward from El Paso American troops were being held in readiness today to move to any point on the border that might be threaten- ed by the newly organized bandits in Chihuahua. Colonel Gaston, commanding the American forces in the big bend dis- trict was authorized by General Fun- ston to make such disposition of his troops as he deemed wise to prevent bandits crossing the river. Although taking all precautions and not minimizing the reports that Villa himself is at the head of the organi- zation, army officers today were not inclined to believe the bandits would attempt any movement in force to- wards the north, gspecially if led by Villa. the law of natians. It s ordered that the following provisions be observed: Provisions to Be Observed. “First—The hostile destination re- quired for the condemnation of con- traband articlgs shall be presumed to 4] exist until the contrary is shown if the goods are consigned to or for an enemy authority ar agent of an enemy state or to or for a person in the ter- 1 ritory belonging to or occupied by the i )Hmzlr v <! enemy, or to or for a person who dur- ing the present hostilities has for- warded contraband goods to an enemy authority or agent of an enemy state, or to ar for a person in territory be- longing to or occupied by the enemy, or if the goods are consigned “*to order” or if the ship’s papers da not show who is the real consignee of the goods. “Second—The principle of continu- cus voyage or ultimate destination shall be applicable both in cases of contraband and blockade, “Third—A neutral vessel carrying contraband, with papers indicating a neutral destination which, knowing the destination shown on the papers, proceeds ta any port, shall be liable to capture and condemnatfon if she is encountered before the end of her next voyage. “Fourth—A vessel carrying contra- band shall be liable to capture and condemnation if the cantraband, reckoned either by value, weight, volume or freight, forms more than half the cargo.” It is further ordered that nothing in the new regulations shall be deemed to affect the arder in council of March 11, 1915, for further re- stricting the commerce of the enemy," or any proclamations declaring articles to be contraband of war during the present hostilities; nar shall the new regulations affect the validity of any- thing done under the orders in coun- #ll now withdrawn, AN HEIR IS BORN.

Massachusetts and New Jersey— Situation is Regarded as Mo: vorable—Federal Officers to Aid. New York, July 8.—Although this was the hottest day since the begin- ning of the epidemic of infantile paralysis two weeks ago, there were fewer fatalities from the disease than there were yesterday. During the twent hours preceding 10 o’clock this morning the plague kilied eighteen children in the greater city. Thirteen of th died in Brooklyn. Ninety-five new cases of the diseuse are reported in the five boroughs. During the weeck just ending there were 126 deaths, 105 of this number from Brooklyn. More than 800 cas were reported. The falling off in the number of fa- talities and new cases during the last three days, although only slight, is regarded as favorable by heal perts. There were twenty-four deaths during the twenty-four hours at 10 o'clock Thursday morn twenty-two on IFriday, and eighteen today Dr. Thomas Darlington, formecly president of the board of health, today said that in his opinion not half the cases reported are genuine infantile paralysis infections. Federal Officers at Work. General W. of the Federal Public Health Service came here to- day from Washington to confer with the lacal health officers and direct the six experts assigned by the national government to help the epidemic of infantile paral The federal experts will concent thelr efforts upon preventing spread of the disease to other states: “These inspectors from the public hospital service,” said Dr. Haven Iimersan, the city health commis sioner, “will not take over ministration. “They are empowered to go anywhere and adopt any measures not allowed the our department W cannot yond the city limits To Isolate Cases, Dr. Emerson dec d it would impracticable to prevent parents and children from leaving the city from infected dis- tricts No known cases may he moved, hawever, and none will be per- mitted to leave New York city, and all persons in contact with the disease must remain here. The health offi- cials attached little significance thu far to Teports of isolated cases in athe parts of the country outside New York State. Advices from other states, however, showed that state and health officers were on their guard and taking precautions. The epidemic here has cast its shadow in many places. Children under sixteen have been barred not only from moving picture shows but from all the amusements at Coney Island except those in the open air. Sixteen grounds streets were closed toda and the opening of thirty-nine more was delayed. The children’s rooms in the public libraries and all pla ground sand lots were closed.

Thermometers for the traffic cops, a neat little weather gauge to pin be- neath the badge, is the bright idea of one of the local guardians of the dan- ger points who has been pestered to death during the present week answer- i ing queries on the location of the mer- cury. The street bulls are called upon to answer a thousand and one ques- tions every day, such as: “When does the next train leave for Berlin?” “Has | the East Main street car gone?” “Is | this the right road to Hartford?” and ““Have you seen a little kid around i here dressed in white?” Officer did you pick up on the crossing here yesterday It's bad enough to have the cares of a careless public on one’s mind, but when the heat question is added it’s just a little a plain gold ring | more than enough, hence the idea of the breast thermometer.

The of agreement could framed in this way and later formally ratified. This would save time and reduce the chances of misunder- standin Officials anticipate that the Car- ranza government will again offer the border cantonment plan which first was presented at the El Paso confer- ence between M Gen. Scott and the Mexican war minister, Gen. Obre- gon. It was rejected at that time be- cause immediate withdrawal of Gen. Pershing’s men from Mexico was stipulated by Gen. Obregon as a con- dition. If it is renewed without that stipulation it appears likely it will prove acceptable. Further repor on the fight in which bandits overwhelmed a Car- ranza force near Corralitos, southern Chihuahua, was looked for today by Arredondo, and the state department to which he promised to communicate the information. Of greatest interest to officials was the question of wheth- er the outlaw band included Francisco Villa, and whether it is bound for-the American border to make another raid. War department officials expressed doubt whether any bandit force would atempt another attack-such as that on Columbus, N. M. Preparations will be made to guard against any possible at- tack, however. Report From American. The state department had a report from an American who said he talked to Villa at Corralitos a few Javs be- fore the fight with Carranza forces.

Caution in these matters is the best thing the health board can urge these days when all are on the alert for a possible development of the dread disease.
