The British communication concurs in

necessary and officials of the Washing

ing the principle expressed with the
American note, were just an upheld by

sued by Secretary Bryan. who said:
This answer being preliminary and not
being intended as complete reply. we
will postpone comment until the full an

Briefly the British note, while con-
ceding the principles Of the American
governments contentious, points out diff

and cites statistics showing an increase,
rather than decrease, In certain neutral
commerce, in support OF Great Britain's $

promises. however, that Great Britain
will make redress" whenever the action

MUST FIGHT NOW
FOR INDIAN DEPOT
Representative Lobeok Says Bill
Must Be Amended in Senate
to Save Station.
HOUSE MEMBER PASSES BUCK
CFrom a sad corresrondent.l


WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-tSpecial Tele-
gram)-If the Indian supply depot az
Omaha is to be saved It will be-sone in
the senate by an amendment to the In
dian appropriation bill now under cor
sideration by the house. Last yeat
will be recalled an effort was on foot
limit the supply depots and warehouse
for Indian supplies to three in number.
After considerable effort the limitations
in the Indian appropriation bill were
broadened so as to include Omaha and
one other station
The Indian bill as it now stands after
several days of discussion provides for
an appropriation to limit the number of
supply stations for Indians to three in
number, ii being up to the secretary of
the interior to determine their location.
1t is fair to assume that he will select
New York. st. Louis and san Francisco.
Omnhn Must right.
Representative Lobeck said today that
he had not received any great amount Of
announcement from the business houses
OF Omaha to warraK fight for the re
tention of the supply station in his home
city. He did say that the Commercial
club was interested as voiced by its sec
retary and he had received few letters
from leading business people asking for
the continuance of the warehouse at
Omaha. Under the red tape practiced by
those in charge of the several bureaus
in the Indian office, Mr.. Lobeck doubted
if anything could be doQe to change ex-
isting conditions, except to get busy and
have the bill amended in the senate.
