friction, the five United States army
officers detailed as war observers in
Germany. have been recalled Secre-
tary Garrison stated the officers were
recalled because their mission was
fulfilled
1t is said, however. the American Of
ficers have been much embarrassed by
a tendency on the part OF some OF
those with whom they must come in
contact TO criticise United States on
various accounts relating to the war.
The effect has been TO hamper the OBJ
servers and open possibilities OF per-
sonal unpleasantness which might lead
to international complications.

Questions Right of Allies to
Ban Commerce Between
Germany and Neutrals.

Washington. D. C., April 6.-The lat
est American note to Great Britain,
made public Monday. relates to the
British order in council placing an en-
barge on al commerce between Ger
many and neutral nations and dis
putes the right OF Great Britain or her
allies to make such conditions.
ITO admit IL, says the cOmmunica-
tion. would be TO assume an attitude
of Immortality toward the present en-
emies Of Great Britain which would be
obviously inconsistent with the solemn
obligations Of this government in the
present circumstances, and for Great
Britain to make such a claim would
be for her to abandon and set at nOught
the principles for which she has con-
sistenuy and earnestly contended in
other times and circumstances"
Anticipates ReparatiOn-
The note reviews at length the legal
territory and virtual blockade Of neu-
trial coasts. In conclusion the United
States states its expectation that Great
Britain. after having considered the
possibilities. of serious interruption Of
American trade" under the order in
council. will take the steps necessary
to avoid them and in the event that
they should unhappily occur. will be
prepared TO make full reparatiOn for
every act which, under the rules Of in
ternational law, constitute a violation
Of neutral rights"
The American communication inter
prets the circumstances under which
Great Britain claims to be justified in
adopting retaliatory measures toward
her enemies as merely a reason for
certain extraordinary activities for
her naval forces and not an excuse for
or a prelude to any unlawful action

the Gordon of ships is so distant from

ain as belligerent has not the legal
right to blockade and which, therefore,
we presume she mas no intention Of
claiming TO blockade. The Scandina-
Wan and Danish ports, for example. are
open to American trade They are also
free, so far as the actual enforcement
OF the order in council is concerned. to
carry on trade with German Baltic
ports, although it is an essential ele-
ment Of blockade that it bear with

This government, therefore, infers
that the commanders Of his majesty's
ships Of war, engaged in maintaining
the socalled blockade, viii be instruct
ed to avoid an enforcement Of the pro-
posed measures Of non intercourse in
such a way as to impose restrictions
upon neutral trade more burdensome
than those which have been regarded
as inevitable when the ports of bel

ships Of its enemies"
EnEIand's Reply Awaited.
With the publication Of its note. the
American government rested its case.
Great Britain is now looked to to make
the next move, and her course is
awaited with the keenest interest in
official and Diplomatic circles here.

mine was discovered years ago by

Later on he sold the property for
$4,000 to eastern people who paid
for the property with ore taken from
the surface. Then they started a tun-
mel to cut the ledge at depth and
continued the work until last year.

K. D. BROWN AND
ROSS MATCHED
WILL BE ON SAME CARD WITH
KIRK AND MCCARTHY ON
MAY IL

The final step in the matching of
Knockout Brown of Bakersfield and
Kid Ross of Great Falls, Mont, for
a ten-round bout on the occasion of
the Kirk-McCarthy match at the
Hippodrome theater the evening of
May IL was taken yesterday when
Matchmakers MCGEE and Ferry of
the Goldfield Athletic club motored
over to Tonopah and secured the
signatures of the principals to a set
of articles, requiring them to make
1913 pounds at 4 o'clock the after
take place in the Texas saloon. 1t
was further agreed that each of the
contestants should post a 500 for
felt for failure to make the weight,
the money to go to the principal fill
ing the agreement. A check for
5000 was at once forthcoming from
Mickey Clifford of the Cobweb sa-
loon, who is putting up the money
for both principals.
Clifford, who is looking after the
interests of Jack Bratton and Ross,
says that the card has awakened a
great deal of enthusiasm in Tonopah
and that a large delegation from
that camp will be in attendance.
Brown arrived in camp this morning
and will start his training within a
few days. 1t has been said of
Brown that he does not subject him
self to the proper sort of training,
but after it had been impressed
upon him that this was his last
chance to make good under penalty
of being refused future matches he
readily promised to train conscien-
tiously.
Ross, who is travelling under the
wing of Micky Clifford, will do his
training in TOnOpah. and the very
fact that Clifford's name is attached
to the boy from Great Falls will be
sufficient assurance of his perfect
condition, as Clifford is not in the
habit of putting up with lack of dis
cipline.
Johnny Mccarthy. the crack light
weight from the Pacific coast. is ex-
pected to arrive in camp this week.
In meeting Mccarthy Kirk will be
tackling the hardest fight of his
career, a man who has engaged in
contests with Packey Mcfarland,
Jack Britton, Willie Richie and 9TH
er fighters of that caliber. Not only
has Mccarthy given the best light
weights in the country a hard go, but
he has gone out of his class, given
away weight and taken on middle,
weights, such as Billy Murray, Wild
cat Ferns and others of hat division.
