ON THE UNFORTIFIED CITIES
President Notified U. 8. Represen.
tatives In Europe To Carefully
Convey His Views To
Warring Nations.
Washington, D. C President Vil
eon has communicated unofficially to
the diplomatic representatives of the
United States In the belligerent coun
tries of Europe his disapproval of at
tacks by bombs from air craft dropped
on unfortified cities occupied by non
combatants. The President was careful not to
tike tho matter up officially, and did
not even make his communication
through the State Department, but
personally addressed the American am
bassadors abroad. .The President
took this course, It Just became known,
nearly two months ago. The facts
came to light through the publication
of a report thnt the President had dis
cussed tho matter with European diplo
mats here. This, however, was de
nied by some of the prominent diplo
mats mentioned In connection with It,
including the German Ambassador.
Just how the American diplomats
abroad were to convey President Wil
son's feeling In the matter to the
foreign governments has not been dis
closed, as White House officials, de
clined to discuss the subject.
It Is believed here, however, that
the President called attention to the
article in The Hague convention of
1907, to which all the principal bel
ligerents were signatory, which pro
Tides for notice of 24 hours before
bombardment or atalck In order that
non-combatants may remove them
selves from the danger zone.
It Is not believed that the Presi
dent mentioned any specific violation,
but expressed his views on the general
subject of aerial attacks. Through
unofficial character of the communica
tion It was intended by the President
to bring about a better understanding
about aerlai warfare without actually
Involving tho American government In
the matter. ,
It Is supposed that tho American
diplomats used their good offices, con
sequently. In a personal way wllh the
belligerent governments, without per
haps even mentioning the fact that
they were doing so at the request-of
the President, as such methods of ob
taining a desired end are not unusual
In diplomacy.

stand taken by the United States gov

meal adoption of the principles of the

commercial restrictions to be Imposed
during the European war was made
clear at the State Department, when

Mr. Gerard had communicated a
preliminary notice that Germany in
tended to protest to this government
against alleged violation of the dec

"Please Inform the German govern
ment that the department's sugges
tion made to the belligerent countries
for the adoption for the sake of uni
formity of the Declaration of London
as a temporary code of naval warfare
for use In the present war has been
withdrawn because of the unwilling
ness of some of the belligerents to
adopt the Declaration of London with
out modification."
Neutrals Have Rights.
"The United States government,
therefore, will Insist that its rights
and duties and those of Its citizens
In the present war, be defined by the
existing rules of International laws
and the treaties of the United States
with the belligerents Independently of
the provisions of the declaration, and
this government will reserve the right
to enter a demand or protest In every
case In which the rights and duties
mentioned above and defined by exist
ing rules of International law are vio
lated or their free exercise hindered
