BT = ——— " British warships. This was pointed to gt AMERICAN SEAS ARE OPEN T0 ALL No Evidence Found That Ger- man Submarine Violated International Law. LANSING SEES PRESIDENT Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 11.—Pres- ident Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing discussed in detail at Shad- ow Lawn tonight German submarine attacks on merchantmen Sunday off the New England coast. The conference lasted until late to- night and will be continued tomor- row morning. It was indicated by officials today that facts so far collected through governmental agencies have disclosed no grounds for drastic action by the United States government because of the attacks themselves. No evidence has been found that international law has been violated by the German sub- marine or submarines. It was understood, however, that the president and secretary discussea the wisdom of pointing out to Ger- many the inadvisability of operating its submarines in proximity to the territorial waters of the United States. Fraught with Danger. Administration officials took the position that the transferring of sub- marine warfare so close to America's shores was fraught with grave dan- ger becanse of the possibility of mis- takes being made by submarine com- manders. Reports that strong senti- ment exists in Germany for the re- sumption of submarine warfare on a broader scale caused some alarm among officials. The announcement of Counselor Polk of the State department in Washington today - that the United States will refuse to accept the con- tention of the entente allies that neu- trals should deny the use of their harbors to all submarines, preceded the arrival of Secretary Lansing here The president and the secretary of state went over this point in connec- tion with the discussion of the entire issue. g Cited as Precedent. In discussion of the submarine at- tacks Sunday, officials here referred to diplomatic correspondence be- tween the United States and Great Britain, beginning in 1914, in which the American government protested against the patroling of the American coast outside the three-mile limit by as providing a precedent for the &o- testing against the proximity of Ger- mafh submarines to the American coast. In the correspondence with Great Britain, the United States took the position that it always had main- tained, that patrolling by belligerent cruisers in “close proximity” to ports of the United States was inconsistent ;vith t::e uu(ll;mn‘& u}ar 'be‘l;xpectcd rom the vessels of a frien er in time of w’tr Great Britain dmotl admil the legal correctness of the po- sition of the United States, but prom- ised to do eve?thinn possible to avoid annoying American shipping ile no formal announcement was made it was considered probable the United States would take a similar position with regard to German sub- matine operations. Data ‘Being Collected. There was absolutely no indication that_the president and Secretary ngh. had any ground for thinking Germany had violated its promises not to attack merchantmen without warning and without providing for the safety of the passengers and crews, It was stated, however, that evidence was still being collected and that no final decision on this point been reached. - . Shortly before Secretary Lansing arrived here, Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador, conferred with President Wilson, chiefly on Mexican affairs. He said he came to enlist the support of the president in obtain- ing the rescinding of a decree issued by the Carranza government which has had the effect of “sequestering” about $60,000000 of French money invested in two banks in Mexico City.

The de- feat of the Turks at the Katia Oasis, cast of the Suez canal, had gone far to remove the danger of attack on the canal and had impaired Turkish pres- tige in Arabia in S‘yrh. In western Egypt, the Senusst tribesmen had been reduced to impotence. The allied armies on the Saloniki front had in- flicted heavy losses on their oppe- nents and p-evented them from trans- ferring t: 0 >s to Dobrudja, thus rendermfi assistance to Russia and Reumania. Airican Conquest Nearly Over. The whole of the German east Africa coast had been occupied, the premier continued, and the complete conquest of the colony was only a matter of time. The fremicr gave high praise to General Smuts and the Belgian troops, which are co- operating with him, n the west, Mr. Asquith said, the French and British had advanced a distance of seven miles on a front of nine miles, but the most import- ant feature of the advance was that in no case had a counter attack suc- ceeded in driving “them back. The ans had virtually abandoned Re attack on Verdun and their losses d been very heavy. He gave the total number of prisoners taken by the al- lies on the e front as 60,474, in sddition to which there had been cap- tured 304 :un.l and 1,030 machine guns.

Paris, Oct. 11.—In the course of last night French troops gained more ground south of the Somme river, it was announced today at the French war department. The Germans attacked heavily at Schoenhaezin, in the Vosges, after violent shelling, the statement adds, and penetrated the French trenches at a certain point, but were thrown back by the grenadier corps.

London, Oct. 11.—"“The enemy ar- tillery,” says the British official state- ment, issued today, “was somewhat more active during the night on the greater part of the battle front (in northern France). “North of Neuville St. Vaast, the enemy blew a camouflet early this morning without inflicting cagualucn “A successful minor enterprise was made by our troops against the enemy trenches south of Hulluch.” Statement from Vienna.

The government seeks to enjoin their operation on national forest lands without permission from the United States. The government won most of its important contentions in the lower courts. Maintaining limited state jurisdic- tion exists over public land situated within the states and contesting the more extensive authority claimed by the government, five states were rep- resented in toda{x‘u hearings, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and Nebras- ka. Their attorneys generaily had filed briefs with the court, alleging that the cases under consideration in- volve vital question of state rights and state powers.

TICKLISH FOR NEUTRALS Washington, Oct. 11.—Allied war ships now patrolling the Atlantic coast in search of the German subma- rine U-53, which raided enemy mer- chant shipping off Nantucket Sun- day, would be required to ascertain the nationality of any submarine sighted before attacking in the be- lief that it was an enemy craft, ac- cording to terms of the latest United States memorandum to the allied na- tions, published today. The memorandum was in reply to the allies’ protest against the United States granting the right of entry to American ports to either merchant or war submarines of belligerent na- tions. Commenting on the allied powers’ suggestion that it might be dangerous to allow neutral submarines to visit waters in which enemy submarines also might be found, the American memorandum gasserts that “responsi- bility for any conflict that may arise between belligerent warships and neu- tral submarines must rest entirely upon the negligent powers.” The United States represents that the allies have failed to show reason why belligerent submarines should be denied entrance into neutral waters and reserves the free right to deal with such craft.

They are talking with fiery patriotism of a greater France, et back Alsace-Lorraine,’ they are saying. ‘We'll expand our colon- ies, and be the greatest France since the days of the emperor’” A splendid opportunity to observe racial characteristics, and study the respective fighting qualities of the va- rious troops, was afforded these sur- geons. “The Prussians will not surrender,” said the doctor. “When a Prussian regiment is beaten it is annihilated. They will fight until the last man in the regiment is down. The allies cer- Feel Achy All Over?
