U. S. BLOCKADE NOTE
MILD, BRITISH REPORT
Protest Against Interruption of
Trade Not Aggressive in Any
Part.

LONDON. April 3.
The delay in the publication OF the
text of the American note on the Brit
ish blockade order. due to Sir Edward
Grey's absence from London, has only
served to increase interest in the docu-
ment. From an authoritative source
comes the information that the note,
though firm and precise in its general
tone. Is not particularly vigorous in those
parts setting forth Americas objections
to the Allies long-distance type of
blockade, nor is 1t aggressive in any
part. Notably 1t fails to make any prom
Use OF drastic action IL Americas objec
tions are not met, as was stated in a
Washington dispatch to the London
newspapers two days ago.
The note is a legal document containing
citations showing the Illicit nature and
the illegality of the blockade. and en-
phasizing how the new Anglo-F'rench
policy contravenes previous interna-
tional law, including the rules and reg
ulations always followed by Great Brit
ain herself. 1t quotes British precedents
which support Americas objections to
the policy now adopted.
The interference of Americas COM
merce with neutral countries is. of
course. dwelt upon, and 1t is pointed
out that by all law commerce is i'm
mune from interference save respecting
contraband provedy destined for the
enemy.
The area of the blockade, which under
the present scheme is being carried on
at great distance from all German
ports, is another important feature of
the American point of view as embodied
in the note. 1t is understood that the
American Government hopes to obtain
some modification of the blockade order
which will improve conditions for Amer-
can commerce, and there is one report
current to the effect that the note makes
certain suggestions, but concerning this
no absolute information is obtainable.

AUSTRIAN OUTBREAKS
STRENGTHEN BELIEF IN
PEACE PLAN RUMORS
Reign of Terror in Dual
Monarchy, Swiss Reports
Declare - Czechs Con-
demned by Court-martial
for High Treason.

LONDON, April ;.
Reports from Vienna, Prague and other
Austro-Hungarian cities that the Dual
Monarchy is In the grip OF a reign OF ter
ror have served to give more piausibiiity
TO the rumors that Francis Joseph's Cow
ernment is seeking a separate peace. A
dispatch from Berne says.
Although nothing has been allowed to
appear in the Austro-HunEarian press,
nevertheless the news comes to hand that
in Prague a municipal councillor named
Matejovusky and about 20 municipal
employees have been tried on charge or
high treason; in other words, OF having
spread news unfavorable to Austria Hum
gary and Germany. Matejovusky was
condemned to 10 years imprisonment and
another official to IL years.
About ten Moravlan Czechs were also
tried for high treason copies of Russian
manifestoes having been found on them
Eight were condemned to death by
Viennese court-martial, one of the men
committing sNcide to escape the death
penalty.
Recently the same court-martiai con-
demned So persons to death for high trea-
son, eight of whom have already been
executed"
Dispatches from Rome say that OPP
position to continuance of the war IL
said to be growing stronger among the
classes which are suffering most from
the scarcity of food.
Violent anti-war demonstrations are
reported to have occurred in several
cities, especially in Vienna, where
crowd attempted to stone the windows OF
the War Office, but was charged by the
police and troops. Several persons are
said to have been wounded and many
others arrested.
The belief Is growing that Sir Edward
Grey. the British Foreign Secretary, is IN
Paris, holding a conference with the
French Foreign Minister. Theophiie
Delcasse, and the Russian Ambassador,
A. p. Isvolsky, over the Austro-Russian
situation.

SON BRAVES FLAMES
TO RESCUE MOTHER
John Filoon, of Germantown,
Adds His Name to List of
Heroes.

John Filoon narrowly escaped death to-
day while resculng his aged mother from
fire which destroyed their home at
Blue Bell and Wissahlckon avenues. Ger
mantown. When the young man, who is
"a years old, was awakened by smoke
shortly after / o'clock, ne hurried with
his wife to the sidewalk, and by the
time he returned for his mother, who is
70 years of age, the house was enveloped
in flames.
Owing to the fact that the house which
was destroyed Is in a location a consider
able distance from any FIRE station there
was no hope of saving the dwelling by
the time the fremen arrived. The stair
way gave way a moment after young
Filoon had escaped with his mother, and
when the roof fell a short time later
the house was virtually consumed
Nothing remained after the blaze was
under control, but parts of the four walls
The loss is placed at about $1,000.
Filoon's mother and wife were cared for
by neighbors. The womans son did not
know of the narrow escape he and his
parent had from burning to death until
the firemen told him all his hair had been
singed off. He said the entire house was
ablaze when he made his way to his
mothers room. and the stairway sagged
with their weight when he carried her
down on his back. Mother and son barely
staggered through the front door before
the entire lower part of the house caved
in.
1t was said this morning that more
than an hour elapsed from the time
the police were notified of the fire and
the time the alarm was received at the
fire station. The firemen declared. how
ever, that 1t would have been impossible
to save the house owing to the difficulty
of getting to the Blue Bell Hill section,
which is on the west side of the upper
Wissahckon ravine near the Lincoln
drive bridge. The fire was caused by
defective fue.

LESSON TAUGHT BY LENT

Memorial of Christ's Death and
Burial an Inspiration to His Followers
Lessons from the Buried Christ" was
the topic of a sermon delivered today
by the Rev. A. d. Heffern at a MONDAY
Lenten service at st. Peters Church, Sd
and Pine streets.
The world believed that 1t was through
with Christ when He died." he said. yet
the problems of human life increased by
the fact OF His death, and 1t did not
take the disciples long to realize how
helpless and now hopeless life was with
out Him; yet this prepared them most
truly to open their hearts more fully TO
God.
"The same benefit that the disciples re-
ceived awaits us in the measure that our
Lenten devotion to the suffering Christ
has prepared us to new inspiration and
spiritual joy."
