Tha sailing of tne Steamer waa delayed one day owing to the reported presence of the U boats, and tha California waa escorted by torpedo boat destroyers until safely outelde the war sone. Tha Russians are "waking up In every way." according to Dr. Frederick W. Eastman, a passenger on the California, who has been acting aa a Red Cross sur geon In Russia and Serbia for more than a year.

"The introduction of the submarine Into naval warfare has changed all of this. This craft ia almoat without powers of defenae beyond the ability to submerge to escape the enemy. A gun even of light caliber on a merchant ahlp successfully could defend her against a submarine. Theer are now no pirates and the prac tice of privateering baa been abandoned by civilised nations by general agreement. .' t.ana Ifa Leaver Needed!. "Therefore there can now be no reason tor! tha maintenance of even small cali ber suns on merchant ships unless It Is designed to make them superior to sub marines, and thereby deprive that Class cf warships of their undoubted right with safety to warn and search such mer chantmen.' In reality, therefore, any such armament of a merchant vessel now might be regarded as offensive arma ment, i . . "If submarines should be required to stop and search merchant veasels before attacking them and to remove the pass engers and crews to places of safety, It ts not fair that the submarines should ba compelled to expose themselves to de struction at the hands of merchantmen. Therefore, by a general agreement among the belligerents submarines should be re quired to adhere etrictly to the present provisions of International law to stop and search merchant ships to ascertain their belligerent character and to remove the passengers and crews to safety be fore sinking them. "On the other hand, merchant vessels should not be permitted to carry any ar mament at all. "There Is grave doubt of the legal right to carry armament- on merchant ships, and It is submitted that all nations should be animated by a desire to save the Uvea of Innocent people and there fore should not Insist upon the exercise of any supposed technical right. Qaeettoa Pat l'g Sqaarely. "Is your government willing to make such a declaration conditioned on a similar declaration by Its enemlesT "Tho United Btatea government has been very much Impressed with the argu ments that have been advanced In cer tain quarters that any merchant veasel which carries guns In any position cap able of ' use agalnat warships has for feited Its non-oombatant character and may be regarded aa an auxiliary cruiser and ta seriously considering the annouoe ment of a purpose to treat these vessels on that baata because of the changed conditions In maritime warfare result ing from the Introduction of the sub marine and Its defenseless character." The foregoing Is subatanlally the- note which Secretary Lansing announced yea terday ba had transmitted to "a foreign power or powers." He refused to discuss tha aubjest further.

FAVORS DEPARTMENT OF MINES INDIANAPOLIS, lnd., Jan. 28. The United Mine Workers' conven tion went on record aa condemning strikes in violation of contracts with operators. Complete approval waa riven to the work done in organizing minera in the anthracite regions. Tha convention also went on rec ord aa favoring the creation of a federal department of mines, the head of which shall be a member of the presidents cabinet. Contrary to expectation the delegates did not dlacuaa the question of prepared ness which Is denounced In President White's report. Tne committee on officers reports made the folic wing report: The question of preparedness likely will become a great national question and will range from 'no preparedness ' and 'reasonable preparedneea' to "un usual preparedness.' "Somewhere along the line will he found the earnest advocates of the dif ferent theories of defense and offepe esger to se their Ideas bear fruit. 'Members of this committee feel that the matter of testing the attitude of th-i convention on preparedness can beat be done by concurring In the report of Pres ident White." The report waa concurred In and puts the convention on record as commending President White in condemning prepared, ness. , Hares Mealies ta TJeyle. Frank 3. Hayes, vice presldont of tha t'nlted Mine Workers, today replied In the convention to the attack made yes terday by K. I Doyle of Colorado, on tha management of the Colorado strike. Hayes said Doyle was one of the handi caps In the strike and declared ho was indiscreet He gave an instance where Doyle, aa secretary of the Colorado min ers, sent a telegram to International Sec retary William Green to "send $10,000 to buy guns." Hayes ssld Doyle wanted to continue the strike when it waa lost. "It Is crim inal to continue a strike when all hope of winning it Is gone," declared :e vice president. W. R. Fairly of Alabama, an Interna tional organiser and a federal conciliator In the strike, also defended himself. He was one of those mentioned In Doyle's attack. Secretary Oreen, whose name also fig ured In Doyle's attack, also defended the management of the atrlke. In reply to Green's queatlona. John McLennan, president of the Colorado miners, said Ioyle did not represent the sentiments of the Colorado mine workers. Resuming consideration qf the report of the committee on off leers' reports, the convention adopted a recommendation that a memorial be erected to the men, women and children killed at Ludlow, Colo., during the strike.- Minnesota Primary Law Upheld by the Supreme Court ST. PAUl Minn., Jan. 21 The con stitutionality of the Minnesota, presiden tial primary law today was upheld by the state supreme court in a decision handed down in the case of Walter N. Carroll of Minneapolis, whose attorneys hsd petitioned to have the law declared unconstitutional. Mr. Carroll attacked the law after Julius A. Schmai, secretary of state, had refused to accept proffered filing petl- jtlone of Mr. Carroll for delegate to tha national convention and ror presidential elector. Two main points In controversy over tha law were decided In effect by the court as follows: That candidates for delegates cannot file until February t. when tha time for filing petitions for president expires. That presidential electors, though they make affidavit to vote In the electoral college, for the man nominated by the Minnesota primaries, should follow tra dition and cast their ballot for tho na tional party candidate nominated for president.
