EXPECTATION OF ARMS
DEFENDED BY WILSON
Answer to German Ambassadors Crit
cism of American Attitude Penned
by the President

Washington, April 21.-The Unit
ed States government replied today
to the recent memorandum in which
Count voI Bernstorffff, the German
ambassador, declared that If the
American people desire to observe
true neutrality, they will find means
to stop the exclusive importation OF
arms to one side, or at least to use
this export trade as a means to up
hold the legitimate trade with Ger
man, especially the trade in food
stuffs."
The American note, which Is Sign
ed by Secretary Bryan was drafted
at the state department but was fin
ally penned by President Wilson him
self.
Criticism Causes Surprise
TIE text OF the note follows:
''Excellency:
Il have given thoughtful considera-
ton to your excellency's note of the
4th of April, 1915, enclosing a mem
orandum Of the same date, in which
your excellency discusses the action
of this government with regard to
trade between the United States and
Germany and the attitude Of this tov.
eminent with regard to the exporta-
ton Of arms from the United States
to the nations now at war with Ger
many.
II must admit that l am somewhat
at loss how to interpret your ex-
oellency's treatment of these mat
tiers. There are many circumstanc.
es connected with these important
subjects to which would have ex-
pected your excellency to advert,
but of which you make no mention,
and there are other circumstances to
which you do refer which l would
have supposed to be hardly approp-
rate for discussion between the gov.
eminent of Germany.
II shall take the liberty, therefore
of regarding your excellency's refer
ences to the course pursued by the
government OF the United States
with regard to interferences with
trade from this country such as the
government of Great Britain have at
tempted as intended merely to illus
trate more fully the situation to
which you desire to call our attention

and not as an invitation to discuss
that course. Your excellency's long
experience in international affairs
will have suggested to you that the
relations of the two governments with
one another cannot wisely be made
a subject of discussion with third
government, which cannot be fully in
formed as to the facts, and which
cannot be fully cognizant of the rea-
sons for the course pursued.

SPORT GARM ENTS

Sport garments are receiving
great deal of attention this season,
possibly because American women
are INDUCING more In outdoor life
this last year than for years past;
since, indeed, the unforgetable Glib
son period. which women aped the
men in both clothing and pastlme
with an all too faithful enthusiasm.
Now, however, the sports INDUCED in
are quite appropriate for women, and
they are insisting upon comfortable
but feminine garments in which to
pursue them.
There is a delightful new yarn
suiting which has been woven espe-
clally for sport garments. The foun-
dalton of the cloth is really a wool
len stockinette with a short, feecy
surface that makes 1t slightly blan-
ket like in appearance. The idea is
to have for sports clothing that will
give when necessary. Stockinette
stretches with the movement OF the
body and thus is exceedingly COM
Portable.
A lovely chinchilla coat that may
be used for many purposes, including
sports, and is therefore, more or less
of utility coat is white chinchilla,
having through It an elusive blanket
stripe. This stripe Is in one and
sometimes three contrasting colors.
The wrong side Of the chinchlla
(the chinchilla usually being in white
or pale sand) shows the stripe quite
plainly; but the nape of the chinchil-
la all but hides the blanket stripe on
the right side Chinchillas have been
with us for several seasons, but they
are still in excellent standing, 1t is
well, however, II you are buying
new one to purchase the newest
weave OF this wonderfully service
able cloth.

new models are appearing with and
without belts. They will be worn by
very young girls and slender women
alike. They are inexpensive but
good" looking, owing to the new cut
and many people of good taste will
no doubt adopt them for general util-
ity or knockabout coats. Needless to
say, they make excellent school and
college coats.
