Washington, Dec. 15.-The Unit

flee a note vigorously protesting
against the removal by the French
cruiser Des Carries of six Germans
and Austrians from the American
steamships Carolina, Coamo and
San Juan. Immediate release of the
men is asked on the ground of the
seizure Of citizens of any nation
from an American vessel on the
high seas in without legal justifi-
cation and constitutes a fragrant
violation Of American rights.
The note was dispatched by Sec
rotary Lansing with the full APP
prevail Of President Wilson.
Attention is directed to the fact
that the men removed from the
ships were not embodied in "the
armed forces OF the enemy" as that
term is used in the declaration Of
London. It Is ascertained moreover
that there is no justification for
the removal of subjects OF nation
which is an enemy Of France from
an American vessel on the high
seas bound to q neutral port, even
II they could be properly regarded
as military persons.
The text of the American note is
said to be brief.
