The men are accused, in the Language
OF the indictment. of 'conspiring to hire
persons to go into lower California with
intent to enlist and enter into the service
of the people of Lower California as SOL
diers'
1t is charged that in furtherance Of the
conspiracy Aviles hired Manuel Brazell
and ]. n. Fernidanez to go to Los Angeles
to Contro to arrange for the storage of
arms and munitions of war and for the
rendezvous of men; that Ayiles and VIII
Joen met Chandler in this city in December

FLY old GLORY
British Ships, Bearing NUM-
tons, Fly American Flag,
Germans Charge.
PRESS STILL IS BITTER
Dutch Ships to Avoid War Zone.
Warships May Convoy Scandi-
navian Freighters.

Berlin, Feb 1e-(By wireless).-Among
the items given out today by the semi
official news bureau are the following
which relate to the German war zone de-
cree:
amsterdam reports that the boat serv-
ice from Rotterdam and Flushing to
London has been stopped
Dutch ship owners will ask the gov
eminent to prohibit British steamers
which fly neutral flags from entering
Dutch ports within a year.
Dutch steamers bound for America
will sail around Scotland. as requested
in the German decree.
Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are
discussing jointly the question of provid-
ing a warship convoy for their merchant
ships.
THE Deutsche ZietunS TaGeblatt state.
that American contraband of war is not
being shipped by American ships. but it
is being shipped on British ships which
pretend to protect themselves by flying
the Star-Spangled Banner"
Flags British Note.
The press bureau also issued the fol-
lowing statement:
The British reply to the American
note pretends that so far as Germany is
concerned there is no difference between
tended for the military. despite the re-
peated declarations of German authori-
tics that shipments seized have been in
tended solely for nonCOmbata nts.
Tho German government has even de-
clsred itself ready TO leave the dStribu-
ton of imported grain to civilians to
American delegates. thus proving con-
clusively that the British claims are un-
true. Sir Edward Grey's conclusions are
lI,- % Ia 1.x.
of nations the grain and flour shipped to
Germany are not contraband of war; al
though they have been regularly seized
by the British who have totally disre-
garded the prescripts of civilized war
fare
Germany's reply to the United
States is Endorsed today by all the
Berlin newspapers, which also con-
tinue their criticism of American
"unneutrality." This is based upon
the pointed statement by the govern
ment that the allies are being fur
nished with weapons and munitions
of war by American concerns.
Die Post is particularly caustic in
its comment on Americans, saying:
When something doesn't suit the
Yankees business they are accus-
toned to raising as threatening
bugaboo as great saber-rattlinC
noise as possible. They calculate on
the state thus alarmed creeping
promptly to heel If this effect is not
produced. if the threatened state pays
no attention and shows II cannot be
bluffed. the yelping pack of Yankees
soon quiets down"
Count Won Reventlow. naval critic
of the Tages Zeitung, shows more
than his usual bitterness today. He
says in his article that America is
trying to speak to Germany in an
altogether unsuitable way. She has
grown accustomed to dealings with
Mexican pretenders."
