AMERICA PROTESTS
AGAINST EMBARGO
RIGHT OF ALLIES OR THEIR
CLAIMS OF JUSTIFICATION is
NOT ADMITTED.
British Government informed That
1t Is Expected to Take Steps to
Avoid interruption of Trado or
Make Reparaton.

Washington.-Th United States
government on April made public
Its note to Great Britain declaring
that 1T could not admit" either the
right Of the allies or their claims for
justification in placing an embargo
on all commercial intercourse be
tween Germany and neutral coun.
tries.
ITO admit it," says the communi.
cation, would be to assume an atti.
tude OF unneutrality toward the pres.
ent enemies of Great Britain, which
would be obviously inconsistent with
the solemn obligations of this govern.
ment in the present circumstances,
and for Great Britain to make such
a claim would be for her to abandon
and set at naught the principles for
which she has consistently and ear
nestly contended in other times and
circumstances"
The note reviews at length the lie,
gal phases of a blockade of belliger-
ent territory and virtual blockade of
neutral coasts. In conclusion the Unit
ed States states its expectation that
Great Britain, after having "consid-
cred the possibilities or serious in,
terruption 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 international law consti
tutes violation of neutral rights"

Rumor is Unfounded

RamCrs are current inthis city to
the effect that Arch-deacon Jennings
Of Nampa, frequent visitor to this
ei5y in the capacity of priest at st.
James Episcopal church, died while
in California, but a telephone mes
sage from Mrs FuDsten i'm Boise i'm
forms us that no such news had
a2hed them who they thought
would, no doubt, be the first TO
hear of such news. Undoubtedly the
ieath story mentioned refers to an
other Jennings.
