ANSWERS AN INQUIRY
Be||igerents Must Keep an Eye
Open for Contraband.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The United
States government issued lengthy
defense of it's Interpretation of the
rights and duties of a neutral in the
European war.
A document, 5000 words long. pre-,
pared by President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan and Counsellor Robert Lansing
of the state department after several
days OF consultation, was Anade pub
lie in the form of letter from the
secretary of state to Senator Stone OF
Missouri, chairman OF the senate com.
mittee on foreign relations.
While the letter is reply to an In
quiry from Senator Stone for informa-
ton as result of complaints made in
the press and in letters from various
parts of the country charging the
Washington government with unfair
ness to Germany and Austria it also
is intended as announcement Of
policy of some questions of neutrality
previously unexplained.
After answering nineteen separate
and specific charges and calling atten-
ton to the fact that the United States
has promptly taken to task Great Brit
ain as we'll as Germany and every gov
eminent which in any way infringed
on the rights of this country the letter
concludes with the following declara.
ton on the much discussed question
of expectation of war munitions.
Declaration on contraband.
III any American citizens, partisans
of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
feel that this administration is acting
in q way injurious to the cause Of
those countries. this feeling results
from the fact that on the high seas
the German and Austro- Hungarian
naval power is thus far inferior to
the British.
1T is the business Of a belligerent
operating on the high seas. not the
duty of a neutral. to prevent contra
band from reaching an enemy.
Those in this country who sympa.
thize with Germany and Austria Hun.
gary appear to assume that some OBJ
legation rests on this government. in
the performance of its neutral duty,
to prevent all trade in contraband and
thus to equalize the difference due to
the relative naval strength Of the bel
ligerents.
mo such obligation exists: it would
be an unneutral act, an act OF par.
TALLY on the part OF this government,
to adopt such policy, if the executive
had the power to do so.
III Germany and Austria-Hungary
cannot import contraband from this
country it is not, because Of this fact,
the duty of the United States to close
its markets to the allies. The mar.
kets of this country are open on equal
terms to all the world. to every ma
ton. belligerent or neutral"

IGNORES AMERICAN REQUEST
Russia May Not Allow Visitors 70
Prisoners Of War.

Washington. Jan. 26.-lt became
known that second request by
American Ambassador Marye. at Pc
trograd, that two Americans be per.
nitted to carry supplies to prisoners
in detention camps in Siberia, had so
Tar failed to bring q response from the
Russian government.
This information, conveyed to the
state department.. has aroused anxiety
at the German and Austro- Hungarian
embassies here.
Officials of the Austro-Hungarian
embassy said while they did not doubt
that Russia had issued proper rules
for the treatment of prisoners, they
believed the rules were not being en-
forced in view of reports of extreme
restitution among the foreigners de.
tanned in Siberian camps.

A former member of the Kentucky legislature, now engaged in the prac- tice of law in Louisville, tells of the time that the question of permitting osteopaths to practice was mooted one in the legislative body says the Argonaut. There were arguments pro and con until the speech of a mountaineer statesman did much to- ward settling the question. Obtain ing recognition, he spoke somewhat as follows: "Im in favor of letting those osteopaths practice. The home opaths practice the allopaths prac- tice. All the other paths practice. And, after all, we may do well to re- member that, as the poet says, the paths all lead but to the grave"

r a cockerel which lin the case Of

weight Of a feast eight pounds at ten
months of age or, better, nine pounds.
No pullet should be used as a breeder
