irary of the rules of internailonai law."
Violated Agreement LONDON, Sept. 4 (Reuter).--It is pointed out that the naval agreement signed between Britain and Germany In 1937 brought Germany within the scope of the London Naval Treaty of 1030, the algnatories to which were Beltoin, the Dominions, the United States and France.
Part 4 of the Treaty ought to humanise submarine warfare, and under its rules a submarine explain is obliged to see that the passengers, crew and ship's papers are placed in safety before any attack is made on the ship. A place of safety menat that the passengers and crew must not be put into boats on an open ken unless and is very near, or another ship la standing by,
Act Of Piracy
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" LONDON, Sept. 4 (UP)-The British Government has announced the rescue of approximately 1,400 persons aboard the Athenla-all ex- crpt those kifled by the explosion.
It was further announced that the attack on the passenger liner was blatant violation of Iller's pledged word.
"The ship was certainly torpedoed without the slightest warning," cie- clared Mr. Winston Churchill, newly appointed First Lord of the Ad- miralty.
It is unnounced that the legul issues! are being studied before any action is taken and a protest loriged } Berlin through the gooil offices of the American Embassy.

In the House of Lords the sinking! of the Athenia was denounced as "in art of piracy"
Disgust Of People
Both Houses echoed "the disgust an indigention of the British people."} The British press has denounced Hitler as a "murderer and a danger- ous criminal." The sinking of the Athenia has overshadowed all deve-; lopments.
U-Boat Menace
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH". LONDON, Sept. 4 (UP)-It is! known that Germany has over Bity whose U-boats already completed tunnage varies between 600 and 700,! and which are capable of destructiveį work over considerable distances.
However, since Germany an- nounced last winter her intention of building up to parity in submarine tonnage with Britain, the full number of submarines may now be nearly sixty, It is not believed, however, that Germany can maintain this num- ber an selive service.
Experience during the last war showed that only about one-third of Germany's total strength was ever. ut sea at one line, even at the height | of Germany's war on commerce in 1917. Out of 150 submarines, there! were never more that 55 actually t sea in any one month.
German mine-laying- activity may also be expected.
The first action in the last war orctarred through delection by British destroyers of German nine-layers in! the open sea.
Hitler Follows Tradition
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" PARIS, Sept. 4 (Reuter).It is. 1914 all over, again. They learned nothing and will be beaten just the sane, is the comment of the man In! the street when hearing of the for- pedoing of the Athenia, which is compared on every hand with the sinking of the Lusitania,
The "Boris Soir" says that Hitler has put his own stamp on this war, which is beginning. Ils first action Is the torpedoing of a ner. War has been opened by the murder of civilians, and not caring for the neutral. Hitler follows tradition and speeda it up.
"Crimes which are also blunders begin again, but this time on the very first day.
Tile torpedoing of this new Lusitanin is a curtain-raiser."
