"Tha photographic records and written

SUTHERLAND SAYS
WILSOJUS RIGHT
Utah Senator Iniiiti that Subma
rine! Matt Give Way to Law.
Not Law to Submarine.
DUTY OF GOVERNMENT CLEAR
WASHINGTON, March 7. Dis
cussing the armed ship Issue In the
senate today, Senator Sutherland of
Utah, a republican member of the
foreign relations committee, stood
squarely behind President Wilson In
his policy In dealing with Germany
In the submarine negotiations.
"I do not want war at any time,"
said Senator Sutherland, "and I pray
I God that It may not come now, but
I would rather have war with all Its
sacrifices and suffering than that
, this nation, with Its long history of
j heroism and glory, should play the
I poltroon when confronted by a su
preme national duty, because It
placea greater value upon its ease
than upon Its honor.
Sabmarlae Mast Yield to Law.
Senator Sutherland, In discussing the
legal status of armed merchant ships
under International law and the rela
tion thereto of the submarine, contended
that the aumbarlne must yield to the
law and not the law to the submarine.
If tha law yields to the submarine, he
said, and allows the underwater boat to
Sink vessels armed defensively only with
out warning and without giving passen
gers and crew a chance to get to a place
of safety. It will be Inviting the sinking
of unarmed ships aa well, since, ho said,
"it Is welt nigh Impossible for the offi
cers of a submarine to determine In ad
vance whether a given vessel Is armed
or not. The result will be that
unarmed vessels, while possessing Im
munity In theory, will have none In fact."
'The question next arises and, indeed.
It Is really the crucial question shall our
cilisena be officially advised to forbear
from traveling on belligerent merchant
ressela armed for defense only? Or, in
deed, shall we go further and forbid their
doing so under penalty for disobedience?
If I am correct In what I have atieady
said, namely, that them merchant ships
have the right to carry defensive arma
ment. It follows that such a ship has the
same status as though unarmed and thnt
the right of tho neutral cltlxen to Irons
port his goods or travel upon either Is
the decision of our supreme court. In i
great case decided many years ago and
never since overruled or modified.
Dnty of Government Clear.
"If. therefore, a cltlxen take pasnace
upon a ship so armed and lose hla life
by the sinking of the ship, without warn
ing, what must be the contention and
claim of this government? To my minU
clearly this: That the cltlxen In the exer
else of a clear right has been deprived
of his life by the deliberately Illegal act
of the belligerent government which sent
the submarine on Ha mission of death."
Senator Sutherland also opposed any
change In the rule with respect to the
sale of munitions of war or arming mer
chant ships for defense, asserting that
any such change now would ba an un
neutral act.
Food Prices in
Europe Advance
During Last Year
i
WASHINGTON. March 7.-Enormous
Increases In food prices In European cap-1
Hals, particularly those of the Teutonic
allies, are ahown In a comparative state- I
merit completed today by the Department
of Labor's bureau of labor statistics. All
food is cheaper In the allies countries
than In Germany and Austria, but there
have been sharp rises In prices also in
England and France.
Vienna has suffered most of all. Meat
that sold a year ago at 20 cents a pound
Is selling now for 7 cents. Many other
foods have gone up In proportion. Bread
prices are not given.
In Berlin beef rose from S3 cents to 3.1
cents, veal from 12 to M centa and pork
from JO to 0 centa. Bacon Is selling at
it cents, twice as much as a year ago,
and ham has risen to W cents. Lard has
doubled In price. Eggs at 80 cents a
dosen are twice as hlgn as a year ago.
Prices In Great Britain are given as 44
per cent more than a year ago. The rise
In France has been about 33 per cent
and In Italy prices lave gone up very
slowly for tho last twelve months. Meats
alone showed an appreciable Increase.
Prices In The Netherlands, the only
neutral European country ahown, have
risen steadily within th year, but not so
rapidly as In th belligerent countries.
Food on th whole costs t per cent more
In th United 8tates now than a year
ago, th bureau estimates.

GERMAN RAIDER EM DEN IS

(Correspondence of Th Associated Press.)
MELBOURNE Australia. Feb. X-It
Is announced that nothing more can be
don toward salving either the remains
of th German aea raider Emden or any
trophies from It except such as may be
cast ashore.
About a year ago visits paid to Xortit
Keeling Irland resulted In eome of the
(una and other gear of th German
cruiser being removed, part of which
were handed over to the commonwealth
government. At the end of October, 1913,
It waa decided to send the gunboat Pro
tector to Cocoa to reoit as to the possi
bility of salving the ship, and to remove
any gear still on board that might be of
Interest or value. It was found that tha
stern half of the Emden had completely
disappeared and a very heavy surf was
still breaking over what remained. The
Protector waited a week In th hope
of getting a chance to board th Emden.

caused the explosion.
Rr. R. Calnan, chief surgeon of the po

statement early today by declaring that
he saw Cross, who was In a cell on the

Views of German
Newspapers On the
Action of Senate
BERLIN'. March 7.-The inadequate
nei received In Germany concerning
the action of the United States senate
with regard to the resolution of Senator
Uore. warning Americana off armed
merchantmen, makes It difficult for even
persons who understand American gov
ernmental systems to form an intelli
gent conclusion regarding the meaning of
the vote, hence the Germs n press Is still
more in the dark and finds Itself com
pelled to guess what the whole thing
means.
The bokal Anselger thinks that affairs
remain as before the vote was taken and
that President Wilson neither succeeded
j n getting . approval for his submarine
attitude, nor did his opponents manage
to secure a vote of disapproval of Mi
eourse. It Is the opinion of the news
paper that the senate eald neither yes.
nor no. but thnt It postponed taklnir a
stand and left Itself with a free hand for
the future and the president free to pro
ceed with the negotiations with Germany
along the former lines.
Die Tost takes a more optimistic view.
It says that If Senator Gore and his
friends should continue working so suc
cessfully against the president, a turn
Iri favor of the German cause may be ex
pected soon. "As yet," says Die Post,
"It is too early to predict that, but It
Is satisfying to see that Senator Gore
bas brought sharp defeat to tle Anglo
philes." The Taglleche Rundschau, deeply pes
simistic, says:
"The tabling of the resolution gives
President Wilson all he needsi "Freedom
for handling the simmarlne question and
time gained. He will, therefore, be very
satisfied with his defeat, which perhaps
he had ordered. He Is not hindered In his
future decisions by any formal senate de
cision, and hence can play dictator unre
strainedly, since Secretary Lansing, who
Slono under the American constitution,
could oppose him Is his creature and car
ries out President Wilson's orders with
pleasure."
The Morgen Tost finds In the senate's
action evasion cf tae question, 'but de
clares that In any event the vote cannot
he looked upon as a victory for president
Wilson.
The Frankfurter Zeltung considers the
vote was not a victory for President
Wilson. "It would premature." says tho
newspaper, "to predict further develop
ments, but one thing Is certain, namely.
that the Anglophile In Washington suf
fered a defeat which must compel slower
going."
