WILL AGATE NO RIGHT.
The government Of the United
States is not unmindful of the extra
ordinary conditions created by this
war or of the radical alterations of
circumstances and method of attack
produced by the use of the instrumen-
nations Of the world cannot have had
in view when the existing rules Of in
ternational law were formulated, and
Il Is ready to make every reasonable
allowance for these novel and unex-
pected aspects of war at sea; but 1t
cannot consent to abate any essential
or fundamental right of its people be-
cause of a mere alteration of cfrcum-
stance.
The rights of neutrals in time of
war are based upon principle, not upon
expediency. and the principles are i'm
mutable. 1t is the duty and obliga-
ton of belligerents to find way to
adapt the new circumstances to them.
The events of the past two months
have clearly indicated that it is pos
sible and practicable to conduct such
submarine operations as have char
acterized the activity CT the imperial
German navy within the so-called war
zone in substantial accord with the
accepted practsses Of regulated war
fare.
The whole world has looked with
interest and increasing satisfaction at
the demonstration of that possibility
by German naval commanders. 1t is
manifestly possible. therefore, to lift
the whole practise of submarine at
tack above the criticism which it has
aroused and remove the chief causes
of offense.
In view of the admission OF Illegal
ity made by the imperial government
when 1t pleaded the right of retaliation
in defense of its acts and in view OF
the manifest possibility of conforming
to the established rules Of naval war
fare, the government of the United
States cannot believe that the imperial
government will longer refrain from
the wanton act of its naval
in sinking the Lusitania

CHANGES MADE
IN CANDIDATES
FOR rifle Team
Close Figuring Eliminates Some
Men and Adds Others to
the List

The list Of officers and men selected
to try out for the rife team that will
represent the Nationa. Guard OF Ha.
wall at the national match. has been
revised since first publication few
days ago. Careful figuring Of the ay-
erages made in instruction practise, as
well as record practise. have resulted
in the leaving of of several men and
the addition Of others to the lucky 20.
1t required close figuring to make
the selection, which resulted in some
surprises. The final score at any
range made at instruction practise was
taken as a basis, and an average
struck with the record firing.
The attendance records of the 20
named in the order have not been
checked through yet, and there is a
chance that one or two will be found
ineligible under the provision which
requires the performance of rs per
cent of military duty during the II
months preceding the competition.

u. S. Warming TO GERMANY in
LATEST NOTE IS VERY EMPHATIC

or from offering re9araticn for Amer
lean Ewes lest, SO far as PREPARATION
can be made fer a needless destruc
ton Of human lie by an illegal act
CANNOT ACCEPT COMPROMISE
PLAN.
The government OF the United
States, while net indifferent TO the
friendly spirit in which ii is made
cannot accept the suggestion CT the
imperial German government that Ger
tain vessels be designated and agreed
upon which shall be free on the seas
now illegally prescribed. The very
agreement would, by implication. sub,
ject other vessels to illegal attack and
would be curtailment and therefore
an abandonment Of the principles for
which this government contends and
which in times of calmer counsels ey-
cry nation would concede as of course.
The government Of the United
States and the imperial German gov
eminent are contending for the same
great object, have long stood together
in urging the very principles upon
which the government Of the United
States now so solemnly insists. They
are both contending for the freedom
of the seas.
The government OF the United
States will continue to contend for
that freedom, from whatever quarter
violated, without compromise and at
any cost. 1t invites the practical CO.
operation of the imperial German gov
eminent at this time when coopera-
ton may accomplish most and this
great common object be most striking
Iy and effectively achieved.
ACTS MUST NOT BE REPEATED.
The imperial German government
expresses the hope that this object
may be in some measure accomplished
even before the present war ends. 1t
can be. The government of the
United States not only feels obliged
to insist upon 1t, by whomsoever vio-
lated or ignored, and in the protection
OF its own citizens, but is also deeply
interested in seeing it made practical
Bile between the belligerents them
selves, and holds itself ready at any
time to act as the common friend who
may be privileged to suggest way.
In the meantime the very value
which this government sets upon the
long and unbroken friendship between
the people and government of the
United States and people and the gov
eminent of the German nation impels
it to impress very solemnly upon the
imperial German government the ne
cessity for a ,scrupulous observance OF
neutral rights in this critical matter.
Friendship itself prompts it to say to
the imperial government that repeti-
ton by the commanders of German
naval vessels of acts in contraven-
ton of those rights must be regarded
by the government of the United
States, when they affect American cit
liens, as deliberately unfriendly.

Fight Three Hours
With Naked BayOnets
In Argonne Region

PARIS. Feb. A.-The British official
eye witness says:
1--WE achieved brilliant successes in the
Argonne region. West of Bagatelle on
February II we made a gain of several
hundred yards. On the afternoon Of the
same day the Germans counter attacked
furiously and a violent hand-to-hand en-
gagement ensued. For more than three
hours the contending FORCES used nothing
but bayonets. Our infantry delivered sew
eral successive magnificent bayonet
charges and the decimated enemy was
finally repulsed and the ground gained
was definitely organized.
THE fighting was even more desperate
on February 10 and H. At Marietherese
the enemy delivered strong artillery at
tack and showered field bombs stimuli
taneously with the explosion OF mines in
contact with our trenches. by which fif-
teen yards of our trenches were upheaved.
Then, following an attack with large
bombs, three battalions of infantry
charged over the excavation, the first
ranks being armed with grenades and
bombs. The companies of our advanced
line were decimated and were Obliged to
give ground, entailing the withdrawal OF
the forces holding the trenches in the
rear. To the left and right our men held
their positions"

Circus to Travel
Overland Soon on
New Auto Trucks

An automobile circus, consisting of reg
ular three-ring tented shows travelling
on auto trucks instead of by wagons and

omaha's annual Auto shows. the tenth
of which closed last night II. Jenkins
OF the Loyal hotel, proprietor OF conces-
sions and announcer at the last four
Auto Shows, announced last night tlA.
such an auto circus would be incorporated
In Omaha within week. and would
open the season here the week of May
on the Ak-sar-i3sn carnival grounds.
In addition to Jenkins, who is the or
ieinator and promoter OF the idea, he
says the incorporators will be
