WANTS WIRES UNDER GROUND
Anacostia Citizens Association Pro-
tests Against Delay.

The Anacostia Citizens Association will
make a determined effort in the near
future to prevent any delay in the i'm
provement Of Nichols avenue through
that suburb, and also the postponement
Of the placing of the street railway pow
er underground. This decision was reach
ed last evening at the regular meeting
OF that body, with President Charles r.
Burr in the chair. Maurice Otterback.
chairman of the committee on streets
and highways, stated that the railway
company had asked for an extension of
one year before required to place the
power underground. Mr.. Otterback fur
ther stated that Immediately upon hear
ing of this proposal he wrote the Engi-
neer Commissioner strongly protesting
against granting the extension, and ask
ing that a public hearing be granted.
The proposition advanced by the Pub
lie Improvement Association OF Congress
Heights to do away with the high stone
wall which surrounds the grounds at the
Government Hospital for the Insane,
seems TO be nearer being accomplished
than the promoters Of the scheme first
realized. It appears now that provision
was made several years ago that II the
Botanic Gardens were ever moved from
their present position. the tall iron fence
should replace the stone wall at the
local hospital. The attention OF the pro-
per authorities has been called to this
fact.
Members Of the Brotherhood Of the
Anacostia Methodist Episcopal Church
conducted their annual supper last night
in the church hall in Fourteenth street
near U street.

Because an increasing number Of resi-
dences are being built near the Govern

the present Inconvenience to the MEM
bers of the medical staff who are re-
quired to live with their families on the

ing. The present stan quarters will soon
be needed for offices.
The use Of moving pictures in amusing
the inmates of the hospital is reported
upon favorably.
Statistics included in Dr. Whites re-
port show that on June 30 there were
SO62 patients, 752 having been admitted
during the year and SIS DISCHARGED (in-
cluding the deaths). This marks an in
crease of seventy-four patients during

NOBAR ON SALES
TOBELLIGERENTS
United States VIII Not In
terfere with Business Even
In War Material.
NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW
Neither Does 1t Violate Neutrality OBJ
legations. Explains State
Department. To-,
NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW

In view OF the apparent misunder-
standing upon the part Of the public.
the State Department yesterday issued
an informal announcement to the effect
that the sale Of materials Of war to bel
ligerents by American citizens is not pro-
hibited by any, statute OF the United
States nor by the neutrality obligations
of the United States government, and
that such sales will not be interfered
with by the Federal government.
The statement made is in part as fol-
lows:
'It should be understood that gener-
ally speaking, a citizen of the United
States can sell to a belligerent govern
ment or its agent any article Of COM
merce which he pleases. He is not pro-
hibited from doing this by any rule Of
international law, by any treaty provi-
sion, or by any statute Of the United
States 1t makes no difference whether
the articles sold are exclusively for war
etc, or are foodstuffs, clothing, horses
etc, for the use Of the army or navy OF
the belligerent.
Are Contraband of War.
TT is true that such articles as those
mentioned are considered contraband OF
war and are, outside the territorial juris-
diction of the neutral nation, subject to
seizure by an enemy of the purchasing
government, but II is the enemy's duty
to prevent the articles reaching their
destination, not the duty of the nation
whose citizens have sold them. II the
enemy Of the purchasing nation happens
for the time to be unable to do this that
is for him one OF the misfortunes Of war;
the inability, however, imposes on the
neutral government no obligation to pre-
vent the sale.
Neither the President nor any eXecu-
tive department Of the government pos
sesses the legal authority to interfere in
any way with trade between the people
OF this country and the territory Of a
belligerent.
May Proclaim Embargo.
There is no act of Congress conferrfng
such authority or prohibiting trafic Of
this sort with European nations, although
In the case OF neighboring American re-
publics Congress has given the President
power to proclaim an embargo on arms
and ammunition when in his Judgment II
would tend TO prevent civil strife
For the government OF the United
States itself to sell to a belligerent ma
ton would be an unneutral act.
The foregoing remarks, however, do
not apply to the outhtting or furnishing
Of vessels in American ports or Of mill
tsry expeditions on American soil in aid
of a belligerent. These acts are prohIb-
tied by the neutrality laws OF the United
States"
