REPLY TO NOTE
OF BERNSTORFF'
Our Government Has Not
Yielded to the
Allies

Washington. April 22.-The reply o
the United States TO the recent memor
andum from Count Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, dealing with exporta
tion of arms TO the allies was de-
livered yesterday TO the German embas
sy. Secretary Bryan made this an
nonncement yesterday, but would not
discuss the details of the reply.
Secretary Bryan declined TO say
whether the reply accepted the ambas-
sador's memorandum as from the Ger
man government or as an expression OF
Count Bernstorfr's personal views. The
reply. however, gives il official recogni-
ton. leaving the question of its authori-
~ between the ambassador and his gov
eminent.
The reply is understood to be friend
". logical and, legal discussion OF the
points raised by the ambassador, TAX
ing issue with the statement that the
United States has accepted England's
alleged violations OF international law,
and calls attention TO the various notes
presented by the state department 10
London asserting and defending the
rights OF neutral governments to con
duct trade in everything short Of con-
traband and even 10 ship food SUPPLIES
70 the civil population Of fighting ma
tons.
The effect Of declaration Of a prac-
teal blockade by Great Britain has
necessarily modified the strength Of the
position assumed by the United States
on these subjects but nowhere the note
points out, has there been any sacri-
fee OF principle by the state department

in the negotiations with the allies. These,
it is pointed out, are still continuing
with the result that almost daily the rig
ors OF the British order in council are
being abated in the interest OF neutral
commerce, which after all is the main
concern of the United States govern
ment.
Regarding the ambassadors protest
against the sale OF arms and ammuni-
ton to the allies, it is understood that
the reply is based largely upon state
ments already made by President Will
son in response to appeals from various
peace organizations, and that it declares
that any attempt at this stage of the
war to prohibit the sale Of arms and
ammunition to any applicant would con
stitute real breach Of neutrality.
The note is said TO hold that it is
Germany's misfortune If she is una bic
to convey arms to her home ports while
the market is open to her, and finally
that there is no possible application in
the present conditions of the peculiar
legislation and rules made in the ease
of Mexico

CABINET CONSIDERS
CRISIS AT CONFERENCE
Demands Have Been Re-
duced to a Minimum
Will Press for Reply

Toxic, April 22.-The crisis which has
come in the negotiations with China as
to the acceptance of the demands of the
Toxic government has been followed by
a protracted conference of the cabinet.
The members of the "Genro" or the
elder statesmen of Japan have been com
municated with on the subject.
The semi-official press expresses the
belief that japan has brought the un-
settled clauses of her demands down to
the irreducible minimum, and that in
the event of further procrastination on
the part of China, she probably will press
for a reply within a given period of
time.
The members of the cabinet yesterday
afternoon conferred with the elder states
men concerning the Chinese negotiations.

WAGNER WILL SLAM
PILL FOR 300 in 1915
Flying Dutchman" Is Natural Slug
ger and at Age of Forty-One
Is Not Through.

when one thinks of Lajoie ones
thoughts almost unconsciously turn
to that other grand old veteran-Ho-
nus Wagner. The wonderful German
slipped under the 800 mork in 1914
for the first time in his major league
career. And now the question is:
rs Wagner. at the age Of Al. really
through. or was last year Just an OF
year for him.
Wagner. like Lajois. is natural
batter. of the same old-fashioned slug
ging type as Lajoie. And IL looks like
a safe proposition to bet that the
Flying Dutchman" will slam them
out for 300 in 1915.
Wagner hit the ball as hard and as
often last year as he has In all the
other years Of his major league career.
But he had the misfortune Of hitting
EN- where they were and not where
they amt" AT least twenty times
during the year Wagner was robbed
of hits by spectacular fielding. Had
these hits gone safe the great Honus
would have finished above the 800
mark
OF course. no athlete can 20 on for
ever. There's a limit to all. But in
the cases of Wagner and LaJoie IL
seems that their limit has not been
reached Both still have several years
OF major league baseball in their sys-
TENS and for the good of the game we
wish 1t were ten years or twenty
years instead Of just three or four.
Both men have been an honor to the
game and when they go. there will
be none to take their places.

Big Cuban Plantation Owner
Convinced Johnson-Willard
Bout Is in Order.
WANTS WHITE CHAMPION

Havana, Cuba March 0.-Capt. Cush-
man A. Rice, Cuban and American sports
man, who at first objected to the Willard
Johnson battle in Havana. has come out
with a statement withdrawing his oppo-
sition to the fight. and with this state
ment comes strong support from Rice's
American friends here for the battle.
Rice is one of the richest Americans IN
Cuba. being the owner of big plantations
In the interior and a personal friend of
President Mario Menacol and Gov. Bar
nabo Sanchez. both of whom highly value
his opinions on industrial matters. III n
racial war between blacks and whites
in Cuba four years ago Rice and other
plantation owners lost heavily. Rice
feared the Johnson-Willard battle would
stir up another racial war. and for this
reason decided to oppose it.
A week ago Rice visited a lumber of
plantation owners and sounded them out
on the fight. He was anxious to see the
battle here. but was investigating it for
business reasons alone. After several
days spent in the interior he returned
to Havana firm In the belief that the
plantation owners could control the stu
alton and prevent any racial feelings be-
ing started. Being convinced that the
battle would have no political or indus
trial ill effects, he then withdrew his
Opposieioh-
"On general principles am opposed to
white man fighting a negro" says
Capt. Rice However. in this case 1t
seems necessary that some white man
should regain the title. and perhaps Will
lard is the man. II have never had any
personal objection to johnson: he is
wonderful fighter. I always have ad-
mired his finished work. but ! believe
change Of cha mpions would greatly bene-
It the boxing game.
THE plantation owners are the ones
most vitality interested in the welfare of
the island, and now that they assure me
they can control their men, my opposi-
ton has ceased. I have a large number
of men on my pay rolls. but 1 can al
ways take care Of them do not think
that any political influence will stop this
battle. It must be an industrial reason.
and now that the men who control the
industries seem to be In favor Of the
nght. of course, am with them"
The eniisting of Rice's support is of
great value to the promoters, as Rice is
the most popular American on the island.
in addition to being substantial busi-
ness man. It removes the last. and real
ly the most powerful opposition to the
battle scheduled here for April 4.
