United States Note
to Great Britain
PROTESTS METHOD OF EMBARGO
OF GERMAN COMMERCE
AN UNLAWFUL ACTION
Will Exact Full Reparation for Every
Act Which Constitutes a Violation
of Neutral Rights.

Washington April 5.-The United
States government today made public
it's note to Great Britain announcing
that it could not admit" either the
right of the allies or their claims of
justification in placing an embargo on
all commercial intercourse between
Germany and neutral countries.
Matter of Principle.
"To admit it," says the communica-
ton, would be to assume an attitude
of unneutrality toward the present
enemies of Great Britain which would
be obviously inconsistent with the
solemn obligations of this government
Great Britain to make such a claim
would be for her to abandon and set
at naught the principles for which she
has consistently and earnestly con-
tended in other times and circum-
stances.
Legal Phases of Blockade.
The note reviews at length the legal
phases of a blockade of belligerent
territory and virtual blockade of neu-
trail coasts. In conclusion the United
States declares its expectation that
Grea Britain, after having considered
the possibilities of serious Interrupt
ton of American trade under the
order-in- council will take the steps
necessary to avoid them, and in the
event that they should unhe epily ac-
reparation for every act which under
cur, will be prepared to make full
the rules of international law, con-
stitutes violation of neutral rights
No Excuse for Unlawful Action.
The American communication inter-
prets the circumstances under which
Great Britain claims to be justified in
adopting retaliatory measures toward
her enemies as merely reason for
certain extraordinary activities" by
making her naval forces "and not an
excuse for or a prelude to any unlaw-
full action
IF the course of the present enc
her naval forces ''and notan
should prove to be in fact tainted by
illegality and disregard of principles of
war mentioned by enlightened nations,
it cannot be supposed and this gov
ernment does not for a moment sup
pose that His Majesty's government
would wish the same taint to attach
to their own actions" -
Ambassador Sharp at Paris was in
structed to present a copy of the
American note to Great Britain to the
French foreign offices with the state
ment that although the French admir-
atty decree had not been officially re-
ceived in Washington, it was under
stood here to- be Identical with the
British order-in-councila and the Amer
lean government therefore made sim
liar reply.

CHINESE GOVERNMENT
FEELS A LITTLE REASSURED
BY Japanese Premier's Appreciation OF
Its Fairness.

Peking, China, April 5.-The Chinese
government, replying to Count Okima.
the pre- Lier of Japan, issued state
ment today reading as follows:
Chinese official circles are grattfied
that Count Okuma of Toxic, has given
expression to his appreciation of the
frankness with which the Chinese gov
ernment is negotiating and his ear
nest desire for a speedy conclusion of
the negotiations.
Regarding the real purport of some
of the demands to which Count Okuma
referred, the Chinese government hith-
erto has been interpreting them ac-
cording to the usual meaning of the
words employed. However, now that
Count Okuma has placed an extra tex
tual Interpretation on these demands,
the Chinese government feels a little
reassured and is confident his state
ment will bear fruit in fact"
The Japanese have not as yet replied
to the request of China that Japan
ese troops on Chinese territory be re-
moved.
