AMERICANS VICTIMS I
OF SUBMARINE
(Continued from 1'age One.)
British government had over the
ship.
It is taken for granted that the
Armenian was unarmed, as such vessels
usually carry no guns of any de- I
, scription. Even if she actually had j
been under charter by the British i
government there is an understanding
between the United States and
1 Great Britain that none of the latter's
ships shall be given clearance
; from American ports if armed.
Officials late tonight were inclined
to the view that the case would hinge
largely upon whether the Armenian
was given warning and whether she
attempted to escape after being or- j
dered to stop. The right of a vessel j
' to attempt to escape upon sighting a
hostile warship was upheld in the
last American note to Germany in referring
to the case of the Falaba and
at the same time it was held that af- 1
ter the vessel had stopped upon the i
warning she was not subject to at* ,
tack until persons aboard had been
removed. 1
From the fact that two shots were
fired at the Armenian when the sub- l
marine came t the surface, some of- (
ficials think the ship may not have (
heeded the warning to stop. If this
should prove to be the case these offi- 1
citls think subsequent torpedoing
could be justified, as it is the duty ' |
of the captain of an unarmed ship (
to yield to capture when actually j
halted or take the consequences of 1
resistance. <

President Told.
Cornish, N. H., June 30.?Presl- |
dent Wilson was informed tonight of
the sinking of the Dominion liner !
Armenian by a German submarine,
and of the fact that a number of !
Americans were reported lost. It j
was said he would await full official
information before deciding what
course to pursue, but that a thorough
investigation would be made.
The President has been told that j
a favorable reply from Germany to
the last American note protesting
against the submarine warfare was
probable and therefore word of the
sinking of the Armenian with loss of
lives was received here with sur- 1
prise.
It was said the President had not |
changed his nlan of remaining here
over July 4 because of the Armenian
incident. j
Carried 1IM) Americans.
Newport News, Va.. June 30.?The
British steamer Armenian, sunk
June 28 by a German submarine.
carried besides her regular crew, i
106 Americans who were signed
aboard here to attend the 1.422 i
mules which the ship was carrying
for use in the French army. Nine- 1
teen of the muleteers wev? white
men, while the remaining 87 were i (
negroes.
The Armenian was the fiist ship
of the many carrying livestock from
Newport News to the war zone to be
, attacked by a German submarine.
The manifest filed at the customs
house shows that her cargo was '
valued at $291,400.

HK1TISH FIAT NOT LAW.

Charleston Post. ' p
The British memorandum on the ! e
subject of the treatment accorded c
American shaping is a remarkably b
cool declaration. Without even at-;g
tempting to reply to the represents- j o
tions of the United States against the "
summary rule applied to maritime b
commerce by the British order in ^
g
council, the note proceeds to recount ! t
instances of "cpecial concessions" ac- tl
corded American shipping?those o
"concessions," it must be remember- w
ed, being mere practical measures of .*
relief given to Americans from the j,
losses suffered from lawless proce- d
dure, and in no sense recognition nor n
exenstion of rights?and assumes
that the citation will be sufficient to j j
Batisfy thiB country completely. The J n
British government "can scarcely ad j T
mit that on the baBis of actual facts j r<
any substantial grievance on the part i
of American citizens is justified or K
can be sustained" and is confident h
that this view will be accepted by
the United States. The rights of the i
case are not so much as discussed,^
only the experience. Britain is en-1 si
ileavoring to shut off Germany from ! o:
all commerce with the world beyond jj
the seas, and the neutral nations j)(
must put up with whatever incon- la
veniences the procedure may entail
upon them. This is not stated in the i al
g ]
way of a formal reply to the repre- ?.
t r?i
mentations made by the United States f<
learly four months ago; no such re- tl
ily has yet been essayed, nor is there | ol
iny indication that it will be soon.
tl
indeed, it is just as well for that. .
ror what is to be gained by formal p;
leclaration of a noti possumus? The m
rhe law of the case, Hritian knows i ^
*s well as we do, and that her course j
s in (iragrant violation of it, but '
mince she intends to keep that course, n;
nothing much is to ba gained from t?
considering the law. If we shall
only put up with what we must, ^
llritain will be pleased; and no more
than is necessary said about it. A e
most practical and friendly attitude. n
they think in London, but if we desire
to talk about it some more, very n
well and good. i tl
There is this to be said in justifiration
of the British position, that it
is based on very definite knowledge c;
of a sympathy with the general obiiwt
if t hit onoH fotunn 1 a 11 ffl eiont tn #1
produce a broad complacency on the n
part of Americans with the infringe- |
ment of their rights. So good and j,
sensible a newspaper as The Colum- t(
bia State, only the day before publi- ?
cation of the British memorandum w
declared its utter inability to see a
wherein we had any ground of com- gi
plaint against the British policy, and e
though there are not many who K
make such frank concession, there "
are not a few who, because of their I t|
wish that the allies prevail in the c;
war against Germany, are willing
that the United States wink at vio- , p
lations of the law of the sea and a
temporarily, at least, surrender some
measure of its rights. There is not | n
nor has there been any great indig- j a
nation in this country at the over- T1
running 01 ine aeuB uy ureal nruain,
and the British, who are very wise ^
and even wily people, the most ac- t
eoniplished diplomats and the most j n
practical politicians among the na- 1
tions, know all about that and are j
employing it as an asset at full value. I t1
As long as it is to Britain's ad Tantage
to override the rights of neu- 8
trals she will do it in the belief that j?
! z
she may with impunity, so far as the r
United States is concerned. The at- i <1
titude of the government of the j *
United States is correct to the last (
c
degree, and it is asserting the principles
of neutral rights admirably In c
its representations to the British gov- 1 "v
eminent,-but there must be lacking, t
the force of-confidence with which i a
representations are made to the (ler- ' ^
man government for-violations of j
other rights of neutrals, In -the' t
knowledge that a large-section of | f
public opinion condones, though it v
may not acknowledge as correct, the 1
procedure, of Great Britain.
The argument -advanced by Brit- ]
tain in support of her sea poiiey Is
of exactly the same nature as that
advanced by Germany in support of :
her submarine warfare upon mer-j
chant shipping. A bit irregular, perhaps,
but devised for a good end and i
because of violations by the enemy, j
Which is no justification at ail to
neutrals. It is mere flat, not law. It '
is British navalism in oxtrerue form. I
There are only two reasons why we |
are not strong enough to resist?
which is the reason Holland submits
to British regulation of her foreign
commerce, as authoritative as if Hoi- |
land were a British province?and
the other that we desire the success i
of the allies against Germany
Neither of these is a good reason nor
creditable, and the government is
doing its duty and serving the future
interest of this country and of all
neutrals in refusing to be moved by
such considerations* - and- asserting

overnor told of the many improvelents
which are being made at the 1

are of the patients.
The Chief Magistrate advocated

the locking in the cells at
