Restriction of submarine op erations against the Lusitania doubt less Hill be proposed in the sion by the peace congress discus of tle "freedom of the seas" question. It is the view of leading naval authori ties who have examined this branch of the subject that submarine opera, tio.is should be limited to attacking ships forming the regular part-of , & navy. Attacks would be prohibited against mercaant ships, either passen ger or freight and whether armed de fensively or otherwise.

As-'he descended from the railway car. with a swaggering gait and wear ing a fur coat, hdwls of. execration ardse from the thousands gathered out side' the station gates. The outburst of hostility seemed to perturb him somewhat. The government yacht which was to have taken the '.'former crown princt. to the island of Wieringen, which will be ' his future -abode -in Holland, grounded, in' the fog. A little tugboat was substituted. Affecting indiffer ence, the former crown prince stepped on 'the gangway and lit a cigarette.

Strange are the experiences of a traveler who .fenters'Oermany after an absence of , several . years.' Formerly there, were . many and varied govern mental orders .and restrictions to be obeyed.' Nowadays, when you go to a police station the desk sergeant will say sadly': "You are' not required to register any longer." They do not even look at ;your passport.
