cruisers, accompanied by f1otiIias and
aided by a strong French squadron,
the whole under command of Vice Adj
miral Garden, began an attack upon the

the failing light. No ships OF the allied
fleet were hit.

UNITED STATES WILL
BACK IT'S WARNINGS
Will Not Reply to England
and Germany Arguments
and Charges of Violations
by These Countries of No
Concern to United States.
BY AssoCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The United
States probably will make no reply, for
the present at least, to either the
British or German notes regarding the
use of the American flag on foreign
vessels and the dangers to neutral
shipping in the naval war zone around
the British Isles, respectively Indica-
tions tonight were it would stand firm
ly on the warnings already made
against the destruction of American
lives and vessels
Arguments in both the British and
German notes, charging violations of
the rules of International law of war
fare by each other, are held of no
concern to the United States by the
government officials. The position of
the United States is on the right Of a
neutral to demand certain treatment of
its ships and commerce, regardless of
the respective actions of belligerents
Further correspondence with the
belligerents is opposed by many or
ficials on the ground that the Amer
lean government ought not to be drawn
into q discussion Of the charges Great
Britain and Germany have made to-
ward each other. There is every pros
pect, however, that the British COM
munication, replying to the American
protest on the subject of contraband,
will bring forth a rejoinder from the
United States. The discussion therein
is one of academic principles of inter-
national law. While officials say
United States commerce has been
treated much better since the United
States note was sent they are unwill-
ing to set any precedent by the ac-
quiesence of several British conten-
lions. No reply will be sent to the
British communication on the dtention

Blacks In Droves
Heed Warnings,
Leave Settlement
BIZ AssocIArED PRESS.

New Madrid, Mo-, Feb. 20.-As the
result of warnings of might riders
that they must leave the district before
Tuesday morning, nearly 800 negroes
left Madrid county last night and this
morning. Possibly as many more are
preparing to depart before the time
limit expires Thus far there has
been no violence.
The negroes, most of whom are en-
ployed on farms in this county, will
be severely dealt with unless they obey,
the order announces. 1t is expected
trouble will result. Sheriff Conran has
asked Governor Major to send militia
to help him restore order. Adjutant
General O'Meara who left jefferson
will make an investigation of the situa-
ton, which the civil authorities say has
gone beyond their control.
Negroes working on the government
Ievee at Lenda and Dorena in Nissis-
sippi county also have been notified
to stop work and leave the county. A
foreman in charge of the laborers has
been notified to stop employing the
blacks. The first warning note was tied
to a bundle Of switches and the sec
ond contained a crude drawing OF a
shotgun.
Authorities said the order for the
negroes to leave apparently was not
based on any specific Objectionable
act, but on i'll feeling because the me-
grues were doing work which some
white workmen thought they should
have.
The trouble between the whites and
the negroes seems to have its origin
In the land rental system. Last De-
cember the white renters demanded a
reduction from Sc to So an acre. The
negroes were content to continue pay
ing IS and when new rent contracts
were drawn up in January, more ne
groes than ever were given places a
the farm.
Discomfort among the whites then
developed and personal threats were
followed by the posting Of notices for
the negroes to leave. The more pros
porous whites have condemned the raid
and are trying to prevent the exodus OF
negroes from becoming general.
