FRANCO-AMERICANS
 AROUSED BY CONSUL
Relations Between New Orleans Resi- dents and French Diplomat
 Reach Acute Stage.

New Orleans, March 23.-Because here, has requested three French mu- tual aid societies in New Orleans to cXpel their members of military age who have failed to report for service in the French army, relations between the consul and the large French pop ulation in this city have. reached an acute stage. The consul today, de- clared he had forbidden the privileges of the consulate to the 2,5O0 mem bers of one organization. The &C., tive membership of the three organi- zations is approximately 4,5O0..
 The present situation arose because the consul considered the hundreds of American members who claim American citizenship as subject to ex- pulsion. MT. Ferrand in an explana- tory statement, declared that French men born in foreign countries are con- sidered by the French government as French citizens, and that as such they are subject to military duty until 32 years of age. The consul said the organizations have been subsidized by the French government for many years, and it was due to this fact that his request was made. Mir. Ferrand, as consul, is honorary president of the three organizations.
 It was understood last night that prominent Franco-Amercans plan to take the matter up with Secretary Bryan.

U. s. REPLY NOT READY.
Wilson Declines to Give Any Intima- =
 tjon of It's Character

Washington, March 23.-President Wilson said today the American gov- ernment's reply to the declaration by Great Britain and France of an em- bargo on commercial intercourse be- tween Germany and neutral countries was not yet ready, and for that req son he declined to give any intima- ton of it's character.
 It was made clear at the White House that there will be no further correspondence with Germany or Great Britain on obtaining an agree ment with reference to foodstuffs and the submarine blockade. The pres ident pointed out to callers today that the American governments sugges- tions were entirely informal; that the United States, of course, had no right to ask the two belligerents to agree to anything as between themselves but thought as moral obligation 1t should suggest the means by which Germany and Great Britain could come into an agreement, if they desired, on those maritime questions.
