DRAFT OF PROTEST
=. TO BRITAIN FINISHED
Emphasizes Neutra's Right to
3. Trade in Non.Contraband
With Whomever It PIeases.

Final drafts of the reply of the
United States to the British order in
council proclaiming an embargo
,against commerce between Germany
and neutral nations were prepared by
the State Department today for trans
mission to the British and French
governments.
The reply has been approved by
President Wilson, who remained in his
study late into last night carefully
examining the document.
Delay in preparation Of the reply, 1t
was announced today. was due to the
fact that the protest covers virgin
ground and much research work has
been necessary on the part OF the
legal experts of the State and Navy
departments in its preparation.
Emphasizes Neutral Rights.
While all information regarding the
exact facts contained in the document
were withheld. it was stated that it Is
9 straight statement Of fact. It sets
forth the position OF the United
states as a neutral nation and en-
phasizes its right to trade In non
contraband with whomever 1t pleases:
The order in council is characterized
as q flagrant violation of the rights of
neutrals and an unwarranted inter
ference with the trade of the United
States.
In. general the principle is enunciated
that, II the allies contemplate a block
ade- of the German and Austrian coast,
they should plainly say so, and should
also announce how they intend to en-
force it.
May Go Forward Tomorrow.
Just when the note will go forward
has not yet been decided on. 1t may be
sent tomorrow, and it may be held for
a few days.
1t is stated today that in most re-
spects the note will follow the protest
already filed by the Dutch government.
For the last two weeks Minister Won
Rappard, the Dutch representative
here, and Counselor Lansing have been
in almost daily conference on the sub
ject.

EVENING SCHOOLS
GAIN IN
POPULARITY

That the evening schools are as
popular as any branch OF school
education and are under the cir.
cumstances Just as we'll or even bet
ter. attended. than the day schools.
has been proven by the figures Of
enrolment compiled by the board
OF education for the beginning OF
the 1855 school yeor. The rec
nrls show that the Gruesel school
has an enrolment In the day classes
of 400 students TNose student

The Gruesel evening school On tho
other hand has an enrolment OF
200 students.
Central high school has $500 stu
dents attending fits classes during
the day periods in more than TOO
rooms and has more than zoo stu
dents in about % rooms In the
evening.
The Cass Technical high school
has now total enrolment oi i.Soa
students in It's day classes aud the

The Bishop schools daily attend
ance is 1900. and the evening school
IS used by 400 students.
The Majeske school has an en-

OF 700 students in the evening.
