The many and conflicting dis
patches relative to the condition

repetition of the Mole ST. NichO-

war. II the ''of-
fetal" bulletins from the con
ties tants are true, both sides
have been victorious, though suf-
fering some loss. Be that as it
may, the sympathies of the
United States are with the Japs,
although according to the proc
lamation recently issued, this
government will remain neutral,
regardless of sentiment.

The police authorities in Paris have

learned that the same courtesy will be
requested of this government when
the next ambassador is received in
