GRAY DEFINES DUTY
OF UNITED STATES
Justice Sayi it Hast Assert Vital
Character of Obligations of
International Law.
DR. BERNARD DERN
BURO, Germany's unoffi
cial publicity agent in the
United States, is return
ing to Europe.
NOTE TO GERMAHY IS PRAISED
ATLANTIC CITT, X. J.. June 12.
Judge George Gray of Wilmington,
Del., former United States senator
and a member of the International
permanent court of arbitration under
The Hague conference, addressing
the New Jersey Bar association In
convention here today, asserted that
the time bad rome "as never before
in our eventful history" for Amer
ica to assert the vital character and
binding force "of the obligations
which International law has placed
upon belligerent nations.
The destruction of unarmed mer
chant ships without regard to the
lives of safety of non-combatant pas
sengers and crew was characterized
by Judge Oray as "so revolting to the
commonest Instincts of humanity
as to be presumably unthinkable In
tbt minds of those who framed this
convention" (at The Hague.)
Dll
Of President Wilson's note to Germany
Judge Oray had this to say:
"It ws wlln "a decent respect to the.
opinion of mankind' that our president
has with dignity, clearness and force
declared the obligation of this law in
Ills recent message to one of the wir
ring powers and has denounced the de
struction of an unarmed merchant ves
sel which involved the sacrifice of the
lives of Dior than l,tCO Innocent men,
women and children, including mora than
110 peaceable cltlsens of our own coun
try. We all know- bow the word'ng of
hla message haa stirred tba hearts ef
lila countrymen and aroused in his sup
port the patriotlo spirit of the whole na
tion for which he was spokesman.
''There wss the strength o! moderation
in Its tone that eef:tud the character of
great law abiding and justice loving
- people. Upon that Impregnable rock of
law and humanity the president has
taken his stand. In this we have given
and will continue to give him our confl-
. dence and support."
"Amid .all the savagery and lawless
ness which have been engendered by this
unprecedented strife," Judge Oray said,
referring to the European war. "respect
for international law has not entirely
r ' perished. Its precepts are still appealed
"to by the warring nations and its obit
. ' gallon are recognised even In their vlo
latlon. However this may be for those
- nations who are fortunate enough to be
' outside ef this terrible conflict and who
have proclaimed their neutrality, the
positive rules of International law are
not silent, but have become of tranacen-
Uant importance.
TJme to Assert Tfeatral Rlha.
"Never before lit our eventful history
hss the time .been so opportune or the
'conditions to exigent 'fer eur country "t
r sssert the rights that belong to a neutral
' nation ' and to invoke the principles of
' that great body of law, whose existence
and development has been ' one of the
, crowning glories of our civilisation. It
is fur us aa never before to stand up for
, and assert the vital character and blnd-
Ing force ef the obligation which this
- law haa Imposed upon belligerent nations,
'.for the protection of neutral rights. In
doing so we are performing a service to
the world and humanity and even to the
' belligerent nations themselves."
In conclusion Judge Oray said:
"We stand todsy In the shadow of a
' treat world calamity and our hearts and
minds are tilled with serious thoughts
ii nd anxiety aa to the attitude of our
country as a neutral power. Whatever
position we .assume there Is no doubt
that we shall present a un'ted front to
the nations of the world. American tra
' dltlon forbid us to believe otherwise
' than that our position would be based
upon justice and that we shatt maintain
the right, aa Ood gives us to see the
' right."

ZEPPELIN SUBMARINE AND

(Correspondence of the Associated Press)
ROTTERDAM. June ; 6.-After being

submarine, and a Oerman aeroplane, the
Cork Steamship company' chip Leatrls
reached this port safely from Liverpool.
'There were more thrills packed Into

outbid the foreign agents for any animal
that Is an exceptionally vlcteu outlaw.
Prlrea offered for horse by agents of
France and England are eo attractive
that the ranges of Wyoming are being
combed for horses that measure up to
the military specifications. Outlaws that
the ranch people have been unable to
tame are being brought In and offered
th army agents having no objection to
a horse's disposition, provided he Is big
enough and strong enough for the trying
labor which he will have to perform in
the military service.
Experience quickly taught tho agents
that ordinary riders could not be de
pended upon to try out a large percent
age of the animals offered, and In con
sequence they began to employ profes
sional broncho busters. As a result there
Is gathered In Cheyenne a galaxy of
broncho busting stars such as never is
seen except at the time of Frontier
Days celebrations.
Among them are such famous riders as
Frank Carter, an ex-champion of the
world; fcddle McCarty. dull Downing,
Johnny Rick, "Scout" Malsch, Bam
Brow net!. Tommy Grimes. Bill Baker, Lee :
Caldwell and Oene McKay. Any one of ;
thoee mentioned lays claim to ability .
to ride anything wit hhalr on It, and j
eacb ef them Is ready ot put hla prowess '
to the test. They are being given ample (
bpportunlty to do so. i
A msjorlty of the horse now coming
to the Cheyenne yards are buckers, but
only a relatively small percentage are ;
"outlaws," for the outlawthe horse that;
cannot be permanently broken, but bucks i
whenever he I mounted, la scarce. j
When a genuine outlaw develops among j
the war offerings there are high Jinks '
at the stock yards, and a sharp rivalry
among the buster regarding who is to
have first chance at the brute. Some j
mighty good rtdera) have been thrown I
during the last week, but In the end
every horse baa been ridden. Borne of
the cowboys have don remarkable work,
aa for Instance the feat of "Scout"
Malsch In riding fifty-two buckers in one
dav.
ments, affected by the Invasion, or still
occupied by the Germans. A a result,
tho stocks of sugar in hand gave rise to
speculstion, and it was to check this that
the government imported sugar from
America.
Tha production of home sugar thle year
Is estimated at 100.(00 tons, as compared

"On the right bank of the Dnelster we
continued on the tth and 10th to press
the enemy on the front between the riv
ers Tysmenlca and Swica, capturing many
prisoners, quick flrera and other booty.
In this region the enemy to cover his re
treat dispatched a train of five armored
automobiles supported by Infantry toward
Etry and Mlkolalow, but th accurate
fire of our gun compelled the train to
best a rapid retreat. In this action the
head of our Infantry column developed
ar. energetic offensive and made prison
ers the entire fifth company of the Seventy-ninth
Austrian regiment.
'On the left bank of the Dnelster In

fighting haa been obstinate alnce the 10th
for the villages of Olchowlce, Novochlne,
Wyschnjjve and Kosare, terminating In
the complete defeat of the enemy, who
waa thrown across the Dnelster. The
enemy suffered especially severe losses
among a section of the Prussian guard
In th village of Wyschnuve, where we
raptured ten guns, eighteen mitrailleuses
end many prisoners.
"Attacks by the enemy of the !Hh on
the bridge head near Italics were re

the line of the Dnelster above Hallcs ren
dered necessary a corresponding modi
fication of the front of troops occupying
the Pruth line. In executing this maneu
ver our troop evacuated Stanlslau with

In the direction of Otynla we captured
