j. s. LAYS DOWN LAW
AS TO RESERV|STS
They May Return as individuals,
But Not as "Organized Mill
tary' or in Uniform.

The United States Government will
not attempt to interfere with the depsr-
ture of reservists for service in the Eu-
ropean armies, even though they go by
shiploads. unless they go as organized
military"
Announcement to this effect was made
today by the Department of Commerce.
after instructions had been sent to COL
lectors Of customs that they were not
to prevent tie clearance of a vessel I'm
less there were other reasons for hold
ing it. The case arose over the applica-
ton for clearance of the steamer Ro-
chambeau, with a passenger list made
up almost exclusively OF male French
men supposed to be reservists returning
for army duty. In giving clearance to
the Rochambeau the department an
nounced the following conclusion:
I'VE think clearance must be granted
when supposed reservists go as lndlv,d-
uals, and not as organized military.
unless there are other grounds for with
holding clearance"
Collectors were notified, however, in
all cases to refer the facts 20 the de-
partment before taking action. Collec-
ton to prevent the clearance from
American ports OF vessels which had
been fitted out for war service.
The presence of large bodies Of re-
servists on board. who took passage as
individuals. Department OF Commerce
officials explain, may be considered as
an indication Of an attempt to violate
the neutrality laws and thus prevent
clearance. If there are other elements
entering into the case. II a ship should
take on an unusual amount If coal,
should be painted the color of a var
vessel, or should have unpacked guns
aboard. these would be considered sus-
picious circumstances.
But in the case of reservists alone.
the Governments present position is
that it will not interfere unless the
men are in organized companies or regi-
ments, and armed and in uniform. II
any of these conditions are found clear
ance will be refused unless specific or
ders to the contrary are given from
Washington
In the case Of the steamer Vaterland
which is awaiting clearance, II is d.
clared that the taking on Of a fuII
cargo OF coal. indicating that the ves-
sci has been transformed into a collier
Is considered a circumstance violating
