SHARP PROTEST
SEEMS CERTAIN
United States DiSIkeS Allies
Stand on Commerce.
OFFICIALS SHOW D|SPLEASuRE

President Wilson Indicates to White
House Callers That Vigorous Note
VIII Probably Be Sent to Great
Britain and Her Allies Regarding
Restrictions on Shipping.
Washington, March 17.-President
Wilson indicated to callers that
strong protest will be made by the
United States government against the
action of Great Britain and her allies
in subjecting neutral commerce to the
numerous restrictions imposed on it
by the British order in council.
Senator Walsh of Montana, an au-
thority on international law, talked
at length with the president about the
situation.
AS he left the White House, Sen
ator 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 adjourned, power had
not been given to the president to de-
clare embargOes on exports from the
United States to belligerents.
He added, however, he had no idea
that the president would call an ex-
ira session for that purpose.
;rrl, o;o
notes and the order in council, ex-
pressed no formal opinion. That the
United States has obtained little sat-
lsfaction from it's previous protests is
agreed in official quarters and the
practical futility of further protest is
admitted, unless measures of retalia-
ton are to accompany it.
Officials, who studied the British Or
der in the text as transmitted by AM
bassador Page and the British en-
bassy, found differences in it from the
version in the cable dispatches, but
would not indicate whether they are
of an important character.
Order Creates DispIeasure.
Displeasure at the contents of the
order was evident and they made no
effort to conceal their disappointment
at it's failure to give American COM
merce relief from interference while
in transit to neutral countries.
The British order will be made pub
lie by the state department, together
with the full text of the notes from
and to Great Britain and Germany in
Which the United States sought to
hiring about an abandonment of sub
marine warfare and shipment of con-
ditional contraband to civilians.
The department also has arranged
with the British foreign office to
make public the reply of the British
government to the American note Of
inquiry asking how the British en-
barge on commerce with Germany
was to be carried out in practice.
This is understood to contain the
British order, as we'll as an addition.
al memorandum, in which the word
BLOCKADE" appears for the first time.
It is believed that an explanation
is given of why a formal blockade
was not instituted. Great Britain is
believed to have pointed out that to
have done so would require confisca-
ton Of all cargoes, whereas under the
present declaration the cargoes are
sold and the exporters reimbursed.
American Ambassador Sharp, at
Paris, cabled the state department
that the French government had
made additions to it's list Of contra
hand similar to the latest British ad-
djtions.

ADDS TO PROBLEM

Or Insane Nor Addicted to Use Of

Her to Hospital For Insane at
Cherokee. W

Fort Dodge, March 17-Secretary
Tibbetts of the Associated Charities
yesterday afternoon received tele-
gram from the state board OF control
stating that an agent Of the board
would arrive at Fort Dodge to escort
the mystery woman to the state hos
pital at Cherokee.
Jane Smith and Jennie Mills, one
and the same person, Is being detained
in the county Jail awaiting action by
the authorities. The woman of mys-
terry appeared this morning before the
insane commission but while articles in
her possession indicated mental de-
rangement the woman herself did not
appear so. It is probable that she will
be taken to Cherokee as the informa-
ton has been received that once before
she has been confined in an insane
hospital.
A telegram received from Ottumwa
stated that the woman had visited that
place on the date corresponding with
one in her diary but that the name
given was Jennie Mills. She appeared
at that time either insane or under the
influence of drug. A letter from
Sheriff Henley at Oskaloosa bore out
this statement as he said that she had
been confined in Jail in that city and at
the time of her arrest had morphine
and strychnine in her possession. These
drugs, however, might have been for
the purpose Of suicide.
Mystery Deepens.
One other communication received
leads to the belief that the woman
Is neither insane nor addicted to the
use of drugs. The postmark was torn
off but what remained looked as If 1t
had been mailed from Ames. The let
ter was signed Susiana and stated that
altho she could not give her address,
if the mystery woman was the person
she thought she was, she would recos-
nize the handwriting. She advised Jane
Smith to tell the nurse everything In
hopes that she would be given her
freedom and stated that if this was
done she was to come home. The
