EASY TO ANSWER AUSTRI A.
Citizens of the United States May
Sell Where They Please

| Washington, July 1.-THE United
States will send note 20 Austria
informing her that the view of this
| government is that she has no right
to demand the cessation, or even
| abridgment, of the rights of citizens
of the United States to sell muni-
tions of war to any belligerent.
1t has been determined already by
the State Department that the reply
to Austria and to Turkey, if she
should make common proest with
Austria, will contain a statement of
the position of this government as
formulated at the beginning of the
war by the State Department.
That position, it is believed in the
department, was framed by the pres
ent Secretary of State, Mr.. Lansing.
when he was counsellor of the de-
partment. The statement read:
"ln the first place, it should be
understood that, generally speaking,
a citizen Of the United States can sell
to 4 belligerent government or its
agent any article of commerce which
he pleases. He is not prohibited
from doing this by any rule of in
ternational law by any treaty provis-
ions, or by any statute Of the United
States. 1t makes no difference
whether the articles sold are exclu-
slvely for war purposes, such as fire
arms, explosives, etc, or are food
stuffs, colthing, horses, etc, FOR the
use Of the army or navy of the bel
ligerent
"Furthcrmore, Z neutral govern
ment is not completed by interna-
tional law, by treaty Or by statute
to prevent these sales to belIiger-
ent. Such sales, therefore, by
American citizens do not in The
least affect the neutrality Of the
United States
The State Department, however.
is also on record as advising all FOR
eign nations that contraband ship
ped from the United States is al-
ways subject to seizure "by the enc
my Of the purchasing government"

SITUATION IMPROVING
Kaiser Does Not Want Trouble With
United States

Washington. July 1.-THE situation
between the United States and Ger
many over neutral rights at sea and
the destruction of the Lusitania is
looked on today as slightly improved
by reason of the conference between
Secretary of State Lansing and Count
Won Bernstorf, the German Ambas-
sador.
Chief Of the reasons why it is i'm
proved is that the talk of the Ger
man ambassador in his meeting with
/ the Secretary Of State indicated that
he did not believe his government
would permit further unlawful TAX
ing Of American life at sea.
While the German government is
defending the sinking Of the LuSi-
tania and not admitting that It's
course at sea has been unlawful, it
is believed to be telling its submarine
commanders to observe the right Of
visit and search and to give persons
on merchant steamers chance 20
take to the boats.
1t is believed that the German gov
ernment does not wish to infamc
America to the point of war by an
! other Iusitania disaster.

Upon Congressman to Strengthen

Newport News, July 17.-Robert S.
Barrett, editor of the Alexandria
Gazette, was elected president of the
Virginia press association here today.
The constitution was amended to
kdmft District of columbia news
paper men to membership; also pro-
viding for two annual meetings, ono
for business in winter and the second
for pleasure in the summer. The pre-
sent has been the largest and most
successful meeting in the history Of
the association. The association will
adjourn today after banquet at
Hotel Warwick.
Newport News Va, July 17-Stres-
sing the necessity Of preparedness
for war, and urging the creation Of
an American merchant marine, John
Temple Graves, of New York, last
night addressed the members Of the
Virginia Press Association and hun
dreds of citizens of Newport News at
the Olympic Theater, Mr.. Graves was
introduced by S. Gordon ummings,
of Hampton, an old schoolmate of the
noted editor. After paying tribute
to the men and women who worked
for the jamestown Exposition, which
Mr.. Graves said, had spread the fame
of Tidewater Virginia throughout the
world, @and resulted in new industrial
life in the Commonwealth. Mr.. Graves
delved into the question Of the needs
of greater defense for America.
81 think this land of peace" he said,
"a republic of peace-loving men ana
women. and I think we have in our
minds no greater hope than that this
country of ours shall always be the
conserver of our own peace, and the
preserver of the peace of all countries.
Yet we stand to-day face to face with
the bloodiest contradiction Of the
principle of peace in the worlds his
tory. No man less than 4 constitu~
tional and criminal outimist can fail
to see that we live in the midst Of
sufficient apprehension and danger,
and that we are not any more en-
empt from war than any other coun-
try is exempt from war"
Declaring that peace treaties would
not preserve peace of the world, ard
that nothing less than preparedness
will preserve the peace of the United
States and of the world, Mr.. Graves
stated that the United States needs
an army for the national defense, a
navy of greater strength, and mer-
chant marine flying the Stars and
Stripes.
Following the address, resolutions
were passed calling upon the Virginia
Representatives in Congress to work
,t the next session for the upbullding
of the navy and the creation of mer-
chant marine.
The address of Mr. Graves and q
crab feast at the Elks' Home closed

pinia Press Association.
