One reason why they are not used

Mikado Says France Took No Precal
tions to Preserve Neutrality.

Paris, May lin the course of an
apparently authoritative statement pub
lished here yesterday of Japan 3 case
against France, a summary is given
Of various acts Of assistance rendered
the vessels Of the Russian second Pa
cifc squadron at Cherbourg, Baker, AL
giers,. Jibutil, Magunga, Nossi Be, Kan
ranh bay, Port Dayet and Hong koe
bay. The conclusions Of the Japanese
government are stated to be as follows:
First-Without questioning the good
faith Of France, Japan holds that the
French orders to observe neutrality have
not been sufficiently executed.
Second---France should have taken suf-
ficient measures beforehand to prevent
violations of neutrality instead of securing
the observance Of neutrality after Japans
circumstances.
Th1rd--In default of sufficient surveli-
lance, Vice Admiral Rojestvensky has
been greatly facilitated in the accomplish.
ment of his mission and in gaining access
to Chinese waters. Consequently, it was
for the ends Of warfare that Vice Admira
Rojestvensky utilized on successive oc
casions French waters both for anchorins
and revictualling and in awaiting the ar
rival Of reinforcements.

BREAK: IN.SIRIKE
i. RANKS IN CHICAGO
Hay and Feed Drivers Refuse to
Observe Boycott, I'm Name
Of Humanity

Chicago, May 11.--A break in the
ranks of the strikers today is alleged
to have occurred in refusal Of the
hay and feed drivers to observe the boy
colt. Deliveries are being made by
union drivers to all the "struck"
firms. =, @ - -
The excuse is that humanity de-
mands it.. The feed drivers say they
do not wish to stand by and see the
horses starve to death. It is declared
by others, however, that this is merely
a subterfuge to cover the real attitude
of the drivers who do not favor the
strike and are anxious to go on with
their work. o..
In Face Of Ultimatum.
The deliveries by the feed teamsters
are being made in the face of an ulti
matum given, by their trade agent tc
the employers in which he said that any
attempt to force the drivers to deliver
to the "unfair' houses would be met
by strike. The deliveries were forced
but no strike was called. The union Of
fcials winked at the affair and sail
nothing.
Several additional transfers were lait
off today because they refused to make
deliveries to "struck' firms. AMONG
employers taking this action was tn,
James S. Kirk company, soap manu-
facturers, and the National Furniture
company. .
