Washington, Aug. 15.-Acceptances

officials here in a few Us from Gen

Under direction of Villa and his leu
tenants copies of the peace appeal

ENGLAND TAKES
WAN INVENTORY
All Males Between Ages
of Is and IS Register
Occupations.

London, Aug. 15.--This was national
registry day throughout the United
Kingdom. Every person between the
ages of fifteen and sixty-fve was
called upon to fill out a form giving
age, occupation and ability TO do work
useful to the state. The forms, dis
tributed yesterday, will be collected
tomorrow, and the government in the
present crisis will be in possession Of
complete information as to the labor
resources of the country and the num-
Der Of men available for military SER
vice. The enumerators had been sup
piled with pink forms upon which TO
supply particulars regarding those
capable of military service for the
use of the War Department, so they
can be called upon Immediately in
case of need.
The enumeration caused remarkable
scenes in all parts of the country.
Many young men, believing the regis
try means the Inauguration of COM
pulsory service and that men joining
the army hereafter will be considered
conscripts, instead of volunteers, went
to the recruiting offices, which were
kept open all day in some towns, to
offer their services. On the other
hand, several young Irishmen working
in England, Scotland and Wales re-
turned to Ireland TO some counties Of
which the registration regulation did
rot apply
The departure Of a party of these
Irishmen from the Clyde was marked
by a noisy demonstration. A crowd
gathered at Greenock Harbor, jostled
the prospective passengers and greet
ed them with cries Of "Cowards!"
In Glasgow, particularly, a large
number of young men hastened their
marriages so they could be included
among those listed as married in the
national register.
simultaneously with the inaugura-
ton OF the national register, the Ma
tional Service League issued a mani
festo calling a series Of public meet
ings throughout the country at which
every fit man will be urged to offer his
services TO the country, and resolu-
tions will be passed calling upon the
government "to place the nation un-
der orders"

Won't Stop Shipping Arms,
u. S. Notifies Austria

Belligerent to Buy Munitions from
Neutrals Be Recognized.

which exalt justice and righteousness
in their relations with one another"
While it is specifically denied that
any reference is intended to violations
of treaty obligations at the outbreak of
the war by Germany, the note contains
nevertheless a stinging rebuke of such
procedure. "a nation whose principle
and policy it is to rely upon interna-
tional obligations and international
justice to preserve its political and ter
ritoral integrity" says the note,
might become the prey of an aggres-
sive nation whose policy and practice
it is TO increase its military strength
during times of peace with the design
of conquest"
The export by Austria and Germany
of military supplies TO Great Britain in
the Boer War when the South African
republics were cut off on the sea as
Germany and Austria are now is intro
duced as a parallel to the present case.
Could Be Extended to Food.
Although Austria contends only for
an embargo o., munitions, the note as
serts that principle applicable TO mu-
nitions would logically have to be ap-
piled to all contraband. Food and
clothing are as necessary as arms, it is
noted, and to carry the doctrine of
equalization TO its logical conclusion
would oblige neutrals to restrict COM
merce in these articles as we'll.
Referring TO the Austrian contention
that the United States is violating the
Hague Convention, No. 13, of 1907, the
note declares shat the convention cited
grants the privilege to neutrals of re-
stricting trade in contraband. but does
not impose it as an obligation.
The Austrian note contended that TO
permit exports of munitions while for
bidding vessels TO carry them to war
ships at sea i9 inconsistent The Amer
lean reply points out that interna-
tional law specifically forbids neutrals
70 make of their territory a naval base
for belligerent warships.
A third point of the Austrian COM
plant, that authorities on interna-
tional law are unanimous that arms
shipments should be prohibited when
the traffic assumes such proportions
that neutrality becomes involved there
by, is categoi ically denied. 1t is as
serted that less than one-ffth of them
advocate such measures, and several

lBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J


FL Paso. Tex, Aug. 15.-Along a
stretch of border extending fo- fifteen
hundred miles Mexicans are showing
their hatred for all things American
and are seeking clashes with American
ranchmen, soldiers and State Rangers.
All along the border American resi-
dents are arming and organizing de-
fence forces for a general border war
fare, which they believe to be in
evitable.
As he stood ready to plunge for a
dive in the Rio Grande, Alfred Frances
thirteen, was shot and killed by Villa
soldiers, who stood on the opposite
bank of the .lver. The boy fell into
the river, and the four villa soldiers
who had fired at him ran from the
river bank into Juarez.
Rioting which followed a police raid
on a disordelly Mexican dance early
this morning resulted in the killing OF
Antonio Lopez, a Mexican. Patrolmsn
+. W Newell was wounded in the hip
Lopez and other Mexicans had in.
trenched themselves and fired upon the
police.
The zone Of disorder is spreading
daily. Reports from the lower FL Paso
valley show that Mexicans cross the
river frequently to rob and murder on
the American side. At Tornillo, near
Fabens, Tex, a rich merchant was
killed yesterday by Mexicans.
Around Langtry, Preside, Del Rio
and other Texas border towns armed
Mexicans are crossing the border to at
tack American residents. Near Lang
try 200 Mexican soldiers who crossed
the border a week ago are believed to
be still on this side, operating in scat
tered gangs and robbing isolated Amer
lean ranches.
Fear of American intervention, en-
couraged by Mexican agitators, is stir
ring border Mexicans on both sides OF
the river to lawlessness. Agitators are
working among the MeXican-Americans
Of New Mexico. In that state, where
the bulk of the population is Spanish
speaking, fear of a general uprising
has called for a quieting expression
from the Governor and Secretary of
State.
In a statement issued by Governor
W. c. Mcdonald and signed by Linn
and other state officers the loyalty o;
the Mexican-American citizens is de-
Tended. Governor Mcdonald says he
has been living in New Mexico for
twenty-six years, and he feels that
there are no more loyal Americans
anywhere than he Spanish speaking
people of New Mexico. He eclares
that in a crisis they will be found lined
up without a break for the American
government.

Washington, Aug. 15.-"The national
safety of the United States and other
nations without great military estao-
Hshments" demands that the right OF
bellgerent TO purchase munitions from
neutrals be recognized This plain
statement of the practical reason
which is offered in support of interna-
tional practice 10 refute the Austrian
contention that arms shipments to the
Allies should be stopped is the salient
feature of the American note to Aus
tria, made public here tonight.
In drafting the note it was Secretary
Lansing's object to sum. up once and
for all in definite form the attitude OF
this government on this question:
which has caused serious international
and domestic complications. In so
doing, diplomats agree, he has con-
tributed materially to international law
and has given to future students of the
subject text that can be cited as the
clearest and most complete argument
yet offered
"The Uniter States has always de-
pended" the Secretary says, upon the
right and power to purchase arms and
ammunition from neutral nations in
case of foreign attack. This right,
which it claims for itself, it cannot
deny to others" To do otherwise, it is
argued, would forever place peaceful
nations which make no extensive prep
arations for war at the mercy of those
which labor year after year to amass
stores of munitions.
Would Work Against Peace.
To adopt the doctrine enunciated by
Austria would. in the opinion Of this
government, force militarism on the
world" by tbs obligation it would i'm
pose on every nation to become an
armed camp" and be absolutely self
sufficient in the matter Of munitions Of
war. Such a principle would work
against that universal peace which is
the desire and purpose of all nations
