ships to Great Britain.

London, April 24.-Impending opera
lions in the North Sea are thought to
be foreshadowed by the incursion of
British submarines in Helgoland Bay
and the embargo on all shipping be-
tween England and Holland.
During the past week the activity Of
the German submarines has decreased
to marked degree, and coincidentally
British submarines of which nothing
had been heard for months. have put
in an appearance and are apparently
operating along the German coast and
around Helgoland. The German ad-
miralty's reports announcing these
operations say that one of the British
underwater craft was sunk April IL.
Some Warships Released.
The fact that Great Britain has sent
more than 100000 men across to the
channel to fight in France, as an
nounced by the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, indicates the temporary ces.
sation of the transport Of troops to
the continent, with a consequent re-
lease of some of the warships that
have been guarding the lane.
Glowing accounts of the strength
and condition of the British army and
of the great increase in the output of
munitions, given by David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer,
and Harold j. Tenant, parliamentary
secretary of the war Office, have in
creased the enthusiasm and confidence
of the people of Great Britain in the
war they and their allies are waging
in Europe, Asia and Africa. The out
put of munitions, the officials said, is
expected to amount next month to
twenty-five times what it was last
September.
Whatever the intention of the gov
eminent the British people are con-
vinced that important naval events
are likely to occur within a compare.
lively brief period. The campaign on
land hae supplied no engagements that
affect the situation.

IDENTIFIES MEMS INITIALS
Roosevelt, on Witness Stand, Rseoo-
nizes Contributors' Names 40 Being
Connected With country's Most
Powerful Financial Interests.

Syracuse, N. Y. April 26.-Theodore
Roosevelt told, ON the second day Of
his cross examination, about his deal
ings with the bosses" his personal
relations with William Barnes and his
ideas about campaign funds of mil
lions Of dollars.
He mentioned the famous half mil
lion dollars which Thomas Fortune Ry-
an contributed to the presidential
cause of Alton B. Parker and swore
he had never seen a list of the names
of the persons who helped swell the
fund Of 100000 used in connection
with his own campaign for the presi
dency.
The list contained initials Of men
whom the colonel readily identified as
being connected with the country's
most powerful business and financial
interests.
No Hopes Of Reward.
In speaking Of the Ryan contribu-
tion, the witness gave it as his opinion
that a leader Of big business who con-
tributes half a million dollars to help
elect a candidate for president of the
United States is prompted by the same
spirit which would cause him to do
nate the same sum to a church, and
that such contributor has no more
hope of reward in one case than he
has in the other. Personally, he said,
he would have been much surprised
II managers OF big business had not
contributed to the Republican cam
paign of 1904.
The colonel mentioned the Standard
Oil company and campaign contribu-
tions, too. He said that II the report
of the congressional committee which
investigated his campaign contribu-
tions showed that H. H. r." and ~.
d. A." which the witness thought
stood for H. H. Rogers and John D.
Archbold-had contributed to the Re-
publican funds in 19O4-he was aston
ished. He said he had given explicit
Instructions against receiving any
Standard OIL contributions.
Would Limit Campaign Fund.
Personally, he emphatically de-
clared, he would regard just as highly
a contribution of $25 from the station
agent at Oyster Bay as he would a
contribution Of $25, 900 from George w.
Perkins, who in 1904 was a partner in
the firm of ]. P. Morgan & Co., and
he expressed the belief that there was
limit to the amount campaign
fund should total. Over a certain sum
he did not know how much-he
thought that there might be some
danger.
Colonel Roosevelt said he regarded
William Barnes as a Doctor Jekyll
and Mr.. HYDE" who, like other poll
ticians. had his good and his bad
Sides" He said he had been per.
slstent in his efforts to make politi.
clans do what he considered was right
and that instead of endeavoring to
severe the ligaments between these
"Siamese twins of politics." his aim
had always been to have the Doctor
Jekylf in them absorb the Mr..
HYDE"

It is then declared that while the

The attitude of the United States
on the question of expectations of

any embargo on arms during the prog
ress Of war would be Sc direct vio-
lation of the neutrality of the United
States" The note refers to the spirit
of friendship which the United States
desires always to manifest toward
Germany and It speople and concludes
with the declaration that the neutral
ity Of the United States is founded

Washington, April 23.-The United

recent memorandum In which Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambas-
sador declared that III the American
people desire to observe true neutral
ity they will find means to stop the
exclusive Importation Of arms to one
side, or at least to use this export
trade as means to uphold the legiti-
mate trade with Germany especially
the trade in foodstuffs."

by Secretary Bryan. was drafted at the
state department, but was finally PEN
ned by President Wilson himself. A.
ter pointing out that the language used
by Count Won Bernstorff "is suscept-
ible of being construed as impugn-
ing the good faith of the United States
in the performance of its duties as
neutral" the note takes it for grant
ed that no such implication was in
tended" and suggests that evidently
the German ambassador "is laboring
