EASTMAN LAW STAYS

Owatonna Tribune: Regardless of
the efforts Of DR.. Andrews of Manka-
to and other representatives Of the big
towns Of the state, that before the adj
vent of the eastman Distance Tariff
law enjoyed special privileges over
the smaller cities and villages Of the
state as freight rates were concerned,
the opposition to the law was over
come by the progressive lawmakers
and the repeal bill went down to de-
feat. The bill, that Thomas E. Cash
man of this city worked hard for SO
many years to get through the minen-
sofa legislature and finally succeeded
in having passed at the last session
of the legislature in 1913, is untouch-
ed except by slight, amendment that,
it is believed, will in no way hinder
the workings Of the measure.
The people Of Minnesota outside of
the communities of St. Paul, Minnea-
polls, Duluth, Winona and Mankato
will remember those legislators who
stood pat to retain the law when they
come up for election again and their
vote against repeal will net them
many votes.

the latter under the leadership Of Mr..
Barnes, united on more than one occa.

REPLY To GERMANY
PENNED BY WILSON
SUGGESTS THAT TEUTON AMBA9.
sADoR LA6oRs UNDER FALSE
IMPRESSIONS.

Washington, April 22-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
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. Al
ter pointing out that the language used
by Count Won Hernstorff lis suscept-
ible of being construed as impugn.
Ing the good faith OF the United States
In the performance of it's 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"
U. s. Refusal Is Steadfast.
It is then declared that while tho
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 restated, namely, that to place
any embargo on arms during the prog
eess of q war would be "a direct vio-
lation 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
lily Of the United States is founded
upon the firm basis Of conscience and
good will.
The communication was delivered
by messenger to Count Won Bernstorff
and by mutual agreement with the
German embassy, the state depart
ment made it public.
