WILL SINK ALL ARMED SHIPS Germany Won't Recognize Arms on Vessels Fcr Defense. *0 DELAY IN U-BOAT POLICY / \ ; v Promises -U. S. to Keep Lualtanla Pledges. But Says Vessels With Guns Lose Peaceful Character. The German government, through Count von Bernstorff, the ambassador, notified Secretary of State Lansing that It can conceive no reason for , changing or postponing the new -in structions to submarine commanders to treat as warships enemy vessels ! armed "for defense." The Instructions are to attack such vessels without | warning. In a note which Count von Bernstorfl 1 gave to Mr. Lansing, was announced : that the Berlin government does not recognize the existence of slich a thing | -as a merchantman armed for defensive purposes. Assurance Is given that Germany I has" no Intention of revoking the) pledges given In the Lualtanla case,; which were that non-combatants on non-resisting merchantmen must be ' protected from peril before the ships may be sunk. The conference lasted fifteen min utes, and when he departed, the am bassador gave to Mr. Lansing a mem orandum. Germany's position, which was frankly stated at the conference, Is that armament of any character is of fensive armament so far as merchant men are concerned. It Is contended that the arming of merchant ships for defense is a tra dition rather than a rule of interna tional law. The assertion Is made that the International code contains no specific authority for arming ships, and that the practice Is from custom rather than rule. - As a result of the conference,.the submarine situation is materially graver, though there still is a likeli hood that the important points of dif ference will be subject to further dip lomatic negotiation. • Count von Bernstorff told Secretary Lansing the German government be lieves that the affidavits placed In the possession of Ambassador Gerard two weeks ago,„ and now on the way to Washington, which contained the se cret orders of the British admiralty to merchant captains, showed that every British vessel which carried guns must use them if approached by a subma rine. He also intimated that the steam ship carrying the appendices to the German announcement of a new sub marine war against armed ahips, had been detained in Falmouth more than , ,»flve days and every sack of mall searched. The state department has understood the documents were Bent in a diplomatic pouch by Ambassador Gerard, in Berlin, to London, and that they then were forwarded by an Amer ican steamship. The note at the outset reiterates the previous pledges, given September 1 and October 5, 1915, for the safety of unresisting passenger ships and skys the German government does not be lleve those assurances have been modi fied by the new memorandum. It is stated that a submarine com mander cannot be expected to warn an enemy merchantman which has a right to fire on the submarine which warns It, and the German government sets up the contention that equipment and Intention to resist a warning given by a submarine do not come within the definition of defensive armament.

Arguments For snd Against the Plan Prsssnt.d by Superintendent J. H. Van Siokle of Springfi.ld, Mass., In Report of tho United Stetes Bureau of Education. "When a mi heme Is |>ro|s>K..-d by ' whh-b existing school buildings may accommodate two sets of pupils it Is 1 no wonder that wide Interest Is aroua ed," declares Superintendent J. 11. Von . Sickle of Springfield. .Ninas., lu describ ing the spread of the Gary plan of I school organization, in a report Issued by the United States bureau of pduea | tion of the depu'rtmeut of the Interior. • "Any plan that will lessen the ex | 1 pense of housing school children ! makes a strong appeal to boards of es tlmute. school boards und the press School boards are not willing, however, to be hurried Into adopting a plan, for exclusive use lu u situation quite dlf ' fereut from the customary one, with ' gut carefully testing Its applicability." Arguments for and against the Gary ' plan are presented by Superintendent Van Slfkle as follows: 1 "The Gary plan Is advocated largely. 1 but not exclusively, on tbe ground of i lower cost. There are those, however, i whose approvul Iw based upon the claim that by means of n longer school day It affords to the children wider op !j portunltles for work, study and plnj; ; toat It distributes the burden of tench ' lug more evenly over the entire teach ing stuff, und that It ulTords prevoca tionul training to nil children lu ull of the grades Instead of c-oullulife> such work to n smull group of children In ' the seventh and eighth grades.

Instruction of groups of chll ! dren by pupils Instead of teachers, | the grouping together of younger anil I 31 older pupils for auditorium, laboratory t and workshop exercises, tho substltu- I tlon of an auditorium period for claas-I t room instruction, tho omission of for-1 i, mat physical training, supervised piny II with only four teachers for twelve classes, the deferring of scholastic f I work for first year children until late i. hi the afternoon. They urge that suf flclent time has not claimed to test the 1 worth of the schemes. i f j "A further criticism Is that outside Instruction lu the home or In the i. church Is permitted, but that no means [i is provided fur seeing that such lp- I structlon Is the equivalent of regular ; schooling. u' "To this criticism the re|ly I* made e that It would lie very If | ;. the school undertook to Insure that | e such Instruction should lie the equlv- j I olent of regular schooling, for In that | case the school would lie supervising ( I religious Instruction, which the law f! expressly prohibits.

B What Is taught In these outside classes I and bow It Is taught Is not and should pl not l»e the concern of the school." p j Interest in the Gsry plan Is by no ('means confined to the larger cities,! i» Superintendent Van Sickle finds. "Even In communities where the part time problem Is either less acute or else nonexistent and where the ex -1 pendltixes for schools have not be r- come *> burdensome as In New Vork |. there will be decided Interest In tbe . n Gary duplicate plan.

AMERICAN ON BOARD SAVEO Bodies Continue Being Washed Aehore at Dover—Baby Found Floating on Back la Revived. One hundred and fifty persons, fifty' five of tbem passengers, were lost when the Peninsular and Oriental line steamship Maloja, a 12,600-ton veeae) bound for Bombay, struck a mlns_twa mHee off Dover, England, and sank within thirty minutes. There were 411 passengers and crew on the ship, and only 261 are known to have been saved. Of the total of 119 passengers, sixty-four names of the saved have beeen received at the ataamshlp company's offices. Others aaved were 112 Europeans and eighty five Lascar members of the crew. It la announced that an American, Ralph Foster, of Topeka, Kan., waa on the ship, but was saved. Bodies continue to be washed ashore and fifty persona have been accounted for. Among those rescued was a baby, warmly clad, which waa found floating on lta back. The child waa discover ed by a patrol boat, and was taken In to the engine room. After being warm ed, It smiled at Its rescuers and seem ed none the worse for the Immersion, Nineteen of the passenger* on board were children. Among the dead, It la announced, was the wife eof General McLeod, ol the British army. , The Maloja had just passed Admi ralty pier, at Dover, and waa oppo alte Shakespeare Cliff, when an ex plosion shook her from end to end. She listed Immediately to port. High seas were running, and the captain, realizing that great damage had been done to the after part of his vessel, tried to run her ashore, but the engine room was swamped and the ship be came unmanageable. The plight of the veaael waa observ ed and dozens of craft went at full speed to her rescue. One of them, the British tank steamship Empreas of Fort Williams, of 21S1 tons, struck another mine and sank nearby, one of the crew being drowned. Aboard the Maloja everything pos sible was done to get the passengers and orew off. All the boats had been swung out before she struck, as a pre caution against accident. Boat after boat and a number ol rafts were sent away, but several per sons leaped Into the water and wars picked up by surrounding craft. II was at first thought-all had been aav ed, but later bodies were washed ashore and their number waa gradu ally added to. It la assumed that the Maloja and the Empress of Fort Williams were victims of a fresh sowing of Oerman mines. There Is much speculation as to how these mines could have been laid. The theory most frequently ad vanced Is that a certain class of neu tral shipping was employed. Says Picture Cleaner* Stole Money.
