STRONGLY PROTEST
ACTION OF ALLIES
UNITED STATES WILL OBJECT TO
RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ON
NEUTRAL COMMERCE.
British Action Has NO Precedent In
Law or History, and Supporters Of
Administration Believe visor-
GUS Protest Should be Made.

Washington President Wilson in
a7icated to callers on Tuesday that
sstrong protest would be made by the
United States government against the
action of Great Britain and her allies
In subieeting neutral commerce to the
numerous restrictions imposed on it
ny the British order in council, just
issued
Senator Walsh Of Montana, an au-
shortly on international law and one
rof the administration spokesman in
defense Of the legal side of the ship
purchase bill, talkeda t length with
the president Tuesday night about the
situation. He had come to the White
House on another subject, but found
the situation produced by the com.
nercial blockade uppermost in the
presidents mind
As he left the White House Senator
Walsh said the British action had no
precedent in law or history and that
AN unusually vigorous protest should
be made against it, He spoke of the
general regret among senators now
that before the last congress adj
journed power had not been given to
the president to declare an embargo
on exports from the United States &c
che belligerents. He added, however,
ne had no idea that the president
would call any extra session for that
purpose.
Officials who studied the British or
der in council in the text as trans
mitted by Ambassador Page and the
British embassy, found differences in
it from the version in the cable dis
patches, but would not indicate
whether they were of an important
character. Their displeasure at the
contents of the order was evident and
they made no effort to conceal theil
disappointment at its failure to give
American commerce relief from inter
ference while in transit to neutra
countries

READY TO
FIGHT FOR LAND
APPEARS DETERMINED TO OBJ
TAIN LARGE TERRITORIAL
GRANT FROM AUSTRIA.
Reports Of Assembling Of Large ltaI.
ian Fleet and Final Tests Of Heavy
Guns, While People Are Clam
orina for War.

Italy's future course with respect to
the war has now become subject OF
intense interest. Italy has long been
making ready for any eventuality,
and, according to dispatches from
Rome, the time is near at hand for
her to make her decision.
There are reports OF the assembling
Of large Italian fleet, OF final tests
Of heavy guns, of people gathering in
the streets crying for war, and, final
ly, of Italian desires with respect to
Austrian territory desires which dis
patches from Austria intimate can
never be fulfilled.
Prince Won Buelow, the German am
bassador at Rome, is said to have
given formal assurances that Ger
many will be able to induce Vienna
to concede to Italy what she demands
of territory, but it is declared on re-
liable authority Italys demands in
clude a large extent Of coast on the
Adriatic sea, comprising even the
Austrian naval base of Pola, as we'll
as the province of Trent and Trieste.
Meanwhile, the battles in the east.
ern and western war zones continue
on much more extensive scale than
the official communications issued by
the respective governments would in
dictate. The Russians APPARENTLY are
forcing the fighting in Poland, while
according to Petrograd, they are hold
ing at bay the Austro-German armies
in Galicia, and the Carpathians
In addition, they have resumed theii
| campaign in the crown land of Buko
wilma, from the great part of which
they withdrew a few weeks ago.
All of the official statements, Aus
trian, Russian and German, tell OF
| the capture of prisoners and guns ant
| progress made at various points.
| An official British account of recen
| operations at Neuve Ghapelle, Ii
which the British troops were success
full in forcing back the Germans, nov
places the German casualties between
March 10 and 10 at form 1900 to Is,
600 men.
There have been several other &C
tons in recent days where the losses
are described os very heavy.
Nothing of an official nature ha
been made public recently regarding
the operations in the Dardanelles, Blu
some unofficial dispatches indicat
that the warships are meeting witt
determined fire from the Turkisl
forts in their efforts to penetrate tn
