NAVAL WARFARE
ACTIVITIES OF SUBMARINES POWERS TO SIGN PROTOCOL LONDON. Oct. 14. Negotiations have been completed for a protocol which will shortly be signed by England, France, the United States, Italy and Japan under the Naval Treaty, undertaking that submarines will not sink or disable merchantmen unless they persistently refuse to submit to search. In addition, they must first conduct passengers to a place of safety. French and Italian acceptance now clears the way to approach other naval Powers with a view to embodiment of the clause in international law. BRITAIN'S "WHITE ELEPHANT" LONDON, Oct. 14. Britain's £.1,000,000 "white elephant," the XI, built in 1922 and capable of submerging for two days and a-half, will be scrapped. It has been out of commission for years and is probably the Admiralty's worst investment.
