in part reversed that body.

Parties to Suit.
The government, importers and
American and foreign ship owners
were parties to the suit. The gov
eminent held that the clause applied
TO goods imported in ships OF favored
nations as well as those flying the
American flag. therefore that the sec
tion must be held entirely imperative
unless the favored nation treaties
were abrogated. The importers were
Interested particularly in h granting
OF the rebate. Former Attorney Cen
eral M~cReynolds held the clause in
operative because OF the conflict with
existing treaties. and in conformity
with this opinion the rebate has never
been paid in any case. although i'm
porters accepted the assessed duties
IN many instances under protest.
The main plea before the court on
the part OF the American ship own
ers was that the favored nation treat
les were in fact imperative.

House and Senate Rapidly
Clearing Up Legislation.
War Talk in the House.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Feb. 23-Without q
dissenting vote the senate today passed
the army appropriation bill, carrying
approximately one hundred and three
million dollars, while the house aided
in clearing up legislation for the ses
sion by passing the six million dollar
Notifications bill.
In discussing national defense in the
house, Representative Butler of Penn
sylvania, insisted that American trad
ing ships should stay away from the
death zones" Of the European war, and
that even the destruction of such yes
srels should not be permitted to involve
the nation in war.
INQuiRiNG OF UNITED STATES.
From several of the European en-
bassies here inquiries are being direct
ed to the state department regarding
conditions in Mexico and the present
purposes of the United States.
The responses so far indicate TIKI
the Washington government does not
contemplate any departure from its
policy of interference in Mexico.
The state department has listened
sympathetically to the complaint of
mistreatment of foreigners, including
priests by Carranza forces, but it has
not felt justified in going further than
instructing Consul Silliman to point
out to Carranza and General Obregon
the improperly and unwisdom of their
action, and it has informed inquiring
powers that nothing more is to be done.
