XHV WAR RCIES PROPOSED BY LAXM-1'tt TO BEL l.ltiKHENTS. 1. A non-combatant has the right to traverye the high eeas In a merchant ship entitled to fly a belligerent flag- and rely upon the rules of international law and the principles of humanity if the vessel is approached by a belligerent war vessel. 2. A merchant vessel of any nationality should not be subject to attack until the belligerent warship has warned her to stop. ::. Any belligerent-owned mer chant vessel should promptly obey any order from a belliger ent warship to stop. 4. No such merchant vessel t-hould be fired on unless she tries to flee or to resist by force and even in such case any attack upon her by the warship must stop as soon as the flight or re sistance ceases. i. Only in case It should be im possible for military reasons for the warship to supply a prize crew or to convoy the merchant ship into port will she be justi fied in sinking such merchant man, and in that case passengers and crew must be removed to a place of safety. Mr. Lansing also proposes that merchant vessels be deprived of the right to carry arms. WASHINGTOX. Jan. 28. Secetary Lansing admitted today that he had submitted to the belligerent powers a note of suggestion that the rules of sea warfare be modified, in the interest of innocent comoaiants and in tne name of humanity. Several specific recom mendations are made. recognizing, among other things, the changed con ditions resulting from the advent of the submarine and suggesting that mer chant ships be not permitted to carry arms if the nations agree to the other conditions for protection of such ves sels and their passengers and crews. Secretary Lansing said the n6te was purely in the interest of humanity and did not bind the United States to any new principles if it were not accepted. Mutual Protection Desired. Mr. Lansing says in the note that while it Is realized that the appalling loss of lives of non-combatants result ing from destruction of merchant ves sels without warning is violative of the principles of humanity, still the United states does not feel that a belligerent should be deprived of the right to use submarines in view of the usefulness which they have developed. It Is, there fore, suggested that non-combatants' right to travel on the high seas be rec ognized, that no merchant vessel be subject to attack without warning, that vessels so warned stop promptly, that none be fired on unless she flees or resists, and that only in case of dire necessity shall a merchant vessel be destroyed. The Department recognizes the disadvantage to which submarines are put because of structural weak ness and discusses in that connection the armament of merchant vessels for defensive purposes. The note continues, in substance: "There can now be no reason for the maintenance of even small-caliber guns on merchant ships unless it is designed to make them superior to submarines and thereby deprive that class of war ships of their undoubted right with safety to warn and search such mer chantmen. In reality, therefore, such armament of a merchant vessel now might be regarded as offensive arma ment. "If submarines should be required to stop and search merchant vessels be fore attacking them, and to remove the passengers and crews to places of safe ty, it is not fair that the submarines should be compelled to expose them selves to destruction at the hands of the merchantmen. "Therefore by a general agreement among the belligerents, submarines should be required to adhere strictly to the present provisions of interna tional law to stop and search merchant chips to ascertain their belligerent char acter and to remove the passengers and crews to safety before sinking them. "On the other hand, 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 ships, and it is submitted that all na tions should be animated by a desire to save the lives of Innocent people and therefore should not insist upon the exercise of any supposed technical right. Condltloaal Coaseat Asked For. "Is your government willing to make such declaration condition on a similar declaration by its enemies? "The United States Government has been very much Impressed with the arguments that have been advanced in certain quarters tha any merchant ves sel which carries guns in any position capable of use against warships has forfeited her non-combatant character and may be regarded as an auxiliary cruiser, and is seriously considering the announcement of a purpose to treat such vessels on that basis, because of the changed conditions in maritime warfare, resulting from the introduc tion of the submarine in its defenseless character."

After learn ing the Intentions of the officers, all of whom were in plain clothes, out a la played badges of authority, they left without delay. The only man behind the bar at the time was Mr. Schultx. but the regular bartender was arrested later.

He was about to pull the stopper rrom tne sina ana lei the liquid drain away, it is said, when flood Spirits of the Invading Germans. Constable Weinberger grasped his arm and prevented it. Water in Sink Bottled. The water in the sink was poured into three quart bottles, and it was freely predicted from the odor that analysis would show alcohoL With the raiders were Deputy Dis trict Attorney Charles Hindman and Special Agent Walter F. Oeren from the District Attorney's office. Enlivened loganberry Juice, ginger ale with a punch and straight whisky were the favorite sellers, declare the officers. They were disappointed at tho small quantity of liquor found in the raid. There were no barrels or even full pint bottles. The loot in cluded three pint flasks bearing an odor of whisky and having traces of liquor in the bottom that will be ana lyzed. There was a two-quart bottle in which there was a pint of something, strongly suspected to be gin. There was a full quart bottle of ginger alo. which smelled more strongly of alco hol than most prohibition ginger ale, and a quart bottle of the same stuff, one-quarter full. There were other miscellaneous bottles that were sus pected, but this was the principal part of the hauL Evidence Declared Ample. The officers, while disappointed at the result of the raid itself, are con fident that they have ample evidence. The presence of the most trifling amount of alcoholic liquor behind the bar was evidence enough, they say, in addition to which they say the pur chased whisky and drinks will leave no court in doubt. The hearing of Schultz on the charge of maintaining a nuisance will be held in the District Court a't an early date next week. . "What do you know about the Per kins bar?" commented Deputy District Attorney Arthur Murphy, when he heard of the raid. "Why, when the dry law first went into effect Perkins men were among the first to ask us for ad vice as to what could and whatcould not be sold. They even mentioned that Perkins bar was worked in blue on the white tiling floor and promised to remove the word 'bar' if it would be a violation of the law." Mr. Schultz said last night that he did not know his bartender had been arrested or was charged with any crime, and also that he did not know bis name. Asked if he had been served with any papers himself, Mr. Schultz queried. "What papers? Charging you with maintaining a nuisance?" 'Why, yes, I was served with some papers, but I don't know what for," was the reply. Mr. Swetland, manager or the Per kins Hotel, announced last night that the temperance bar was not operated as a part of the hotel, the bar premises being leased to Mr. scnuitz.

Prisoners in Bnkowlna Tell of Exten sive Preparations by Teutons to Hold Ground' There. PETROGRAD, via London, Jan. 28. Early renewal of military activity along the northern end of the Russian front in the Riga and Dvinsk districts is forecast by Russian military critics. Their expectation is based in part on the unusual activity of German air craft in reconnoitering the Russian lines. The activity leads lo the belief that the Germans may be preparing an of fensive in the north for the purpose of countering the Russian attack in Buko wina. Along the Stripa River the artillery fire of the Teutons is increasing daily. KIEV, via London, Jan. 28. German prisoners captured in battle in Buko wina assert that extensive preparations are being made by the Austrians and Germans to prevent a further Russian advance on that section of the front It is said some of the chief railway lines of Austria and Germany have been closed to passenger traffic on ac count of the movement of large bodies of troops and great quantities of sup plies to Bukowina. Prisoners say that as soon as guns are installed the number of troops is reduced to the minimum, the men with drawn being sent back on the return ing munitions trains. Kansas Society Meets.
