REPLY TO GERMANY
PENNED BY WILSON
SUGGESTS THAT TEUTON AMBAS-
sADoR LABoRs UNDER FALSE
IMPRESSIONS.
REFUSAL OF U. S. STEADFAST
Government Does Not Acknowledge
Right of Any BeIligerent to Alter
Rule of War at Sea As
Affecting NeutraIs.

| Washington, April 23.-The United
States government has replied to the
recent memorandum in which Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambas-
sador declared that IF the American
| people desire to observe true neutral
ity they will find means to stop the
| exclusive importation of arms to one
side, or at least to use this export
trade as means to uphold the legiti-
mate trade with Germany especially
the trade in foodstuffs."
The American note, which is signed
by Secretary Bryan, was drafted at the
state department, but was finally pen
ned by President Wilson himself. At
ter pointing out that the language used
by Count Won Bernstorff lis suscept-
ible of being construed as impugn-
ing the good faith of the United States
in the performance of its duties as a
neutral the note takes it for grant
ed that no such implication was in
tended and suggests that evidently
the German ambassador lis laboring
under certain false impressions"
" y. hcIuSdI is StedOTdSI.
1t is then declared that while the
relations of the United States with any
one of the belligerents "can not wise
ly be made a subject of discussion
with third government" such cor
respondence between the United
States and the allies as has been pub
lished shows 'the steadfast refusal"
of the government ito acknowledge
the right of any belligerent to alter
the accepted rules of war at sea in
solar as they affect the rights and in
terests of neutrals.'
The attitude of the United States
on the question of expectations of
arms is reeteted, namely, that to place
any embargo on arms during the prog
ress of war would be "a direct vio-
Iation of the neutrality of the United |
States" The note refers to the spirit |
Of friendship which the United States
desires always to manifest toward |
Germany and it speople and concludes
with the declaration that the neutral
ty of the United States is founded
Upon the firm basis of conscience and
good will.
The communication was delivered
~ messenger to Count Won Bernstorff
md by mutual agreement with the
German embassy, the state depart
nent made it public.

Colonel Says He Spoke With Former
Senator Plat With Regard to
Interest Of Party-Spends Five
Hours on Stand.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 24.-Theodor
Roosevelt, former president of tn
United States, spent five strenuou
hours under cross examination in tn
supreme court here. He admittet
without any hesitation that he hat
verbally and in writing discussed will
bosses the question of securing the
nomination for governor of the state
of New York.
He identified as being his, letter
he wrote to Lemuel E. Quigg of New
York, Republican leader and now d
delegate to the state constitutional
convention in which he acquiesced in
Quigg's assurances to former United
States Senator Thomas G. Platt that
he would in the event of his election
respect the senator's position as head
of the Republican party and would
consult with him freely and fully on
al important matters"
Confers With "Easy Boss"
He testified that he did confer with
Mr.. Platt, the so-called "easy boss"
But, he added, he did so with regard
to the interests Of the party, with a
genuine desire to keep the Republican
party together and minimize 1.-THE cen
trifugal influences" within that party
and prevent it from flying asunder.
The colonel stepped from the stand
at the end of the day amid roars of
laughter he had caused. He had been
answering questions, and incidentally
asking few of the attorneys cross
examining him, about Mr.. Platt's OPP
position to a bill in the New York leg
tslature providing for tax upon fran
chises.
The witness told how he had finally
secured the passage of the bill against
the wishes of Mr. Plat and other lead
ers of the Republican organization.
Then he was asked whether upon the
final passage of the bill which caused

and finally conclude with query to

London, April 24.-Impending opera
lions in the North Sea are thought to
be foreshadowed by the incursion of
British submarines in Helgoland Bay
and the embargo on all shipping be-
tween England and Holland.
During the past week the activity of
the German submarines has decreased
to a marked degree, and coincidentally
British submarines of which nothing
had been heard for months, have put
in an appearance and are apparently
operating along the German coast and
around Helgoland. The German adj
miralty's reports announcing these
operations say that one of the British
underwater craft was sunk April 10.
Some Warships Released.
The fact that Great Britain has sent
more than 100000 men across to the
channel to fight in France, as an
nounced by the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, indicates the temporary ces-
sation of the transport of troops to
the continent, with consequent re-
lease of some of the warships that

Villa Needs Ammunition.

Villas chief difficulty, it was
learned officially, is his lack of am
munition and until he repleniShes his
supply he probably will not risk an
other engagement.
When he met Obregon at Celaya,
Villa had sent forces to attack Mata-
moros, Nuevo Laredo, Tampico and
west coast towns, greatly depicting
his main force. Indications now are
that he intends to concentrate all these
forces in Central Mexico for another
supreme effort against Obregon.
The CarranZa forces are reported
to be we'll supplied with ammunition
