BRYAN'S REPLY TO
BERNSTORFF NOTE
Reflection on Our Good Faith
is Resented.
INTERNATIONAL LAW LESSON
In Diplomatic Language the President
Makes Evident His Intention
To Reprimand the German
Ambassador.

Washington. The United States
Government replied to the recent
memorandum in which Count Won
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador,
declared that IF the American people
desire to observe true neutrality, they
will find means to stop the exclusive i'm
portation Of arms to one side, or at
least to use this export trade as a
means to uphold the legitimate trade
with Germany, especially the trade in
foodstuhs"
The American note, which is signed
by Secretary Bryan, was drafted at
the State Department, but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself.
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Won Bernstorff is sus'
ceptlble of being construed as i'm.
pugning the good faith Of the United
States in the performance Of its duties
as a neutral" the note takes 1t for
granted that no such implication was
intended" and suggests that evidently
the German Ambassador is laboring
under certain false impressions"
II is then declared that while the
relations of the United States with
any one of the belligerents cannot
wisely be made a subject of discussion
with a third government" such CORE
spondence between the United States
and the Allies as has been published
shows the steadfast refusal" Of the
American government Ito acknowledge
the right Of any belligerent to alter
the accepted rules of war at sea in.
sofar as they effect the rights and in
terests Of neutrals."
The attitude of the United States
on the question Of expectations of
arms is restated-namely, that to
place any embargo on arms during the
progress Of a war would be "a direct
violation of the neutrality of the
United States. The note refers to the
spirit Of friendship which the United
States desires always to manifest to-
ward Germany and its people and con-
cludes with the declaration that the
neutrality Of the United States is
found on the Arm basis Of conscience
and good will"

Washington.-Th Atlantic feet will
( be reviewed in New York Harbor, May
II, by President Wilson, Secretary
Daniels announced the date at the con-
clusion of conferences with Admiral
Fletcher, commander-in-chief of the
heet
Details of the review and Of events
ashore will be worked out as soon as
possible by the Navy Department, in
cooperation with Mayor Mitchell, Of
New York. The review will be fol-
lowed by water carnival at night
and land parade probably the next
day, May 49, Bluejackets and marines
from the fleet will march through Fifth
avenue with Army troops from Cover
nor's Island, the New York National
Guard and other organizations yet to
be determined.
The exact number Of war craft to be
assembled at New York has not yet
been decided. but practically all of the
battleships, many of the cruisers, gun
boats and destroyers attached to the
feet and some of the submarines and
auxiliaries will be ordered out The
review will be the first held since Oc-
tober, 1912.
II is now planned to have the fleet
complete target practice at Tangler
Sound by May 5 or and leave about
the Sth for Norfolk. The bluejack6ts
and marines will be given a weeks
shore leave there from May 9 to l6.
The submarines to be brought up for
the parade will reach New York
May 10.
The review and parade ashore over
the fleet will pass out Of New York
harbor not later than May 20 for Mar
raganset Bay for 10 days maneuvers,
with Newport as q base. Between
June / and q the vessels will go to
their home yards for docking, supplies
and steaming trials. The next rendez-
vous will be in Hampton Roads soon
after June q, and not later than June
25 the fleet will steam out Of the roads
for San Francisco by way of the Pan
anna Canal. Maneuvering en- route,
the ships, II is expected, will pass
through the Canal July 4.
The personnel of the reviewing party
at New York, headed by President VIII
son, will be decided later by Secretary
Daniels and his aids. 1t probably will
include several cabinet officers, men,
bers of the two houses of Congress- in
cluding the New York State and
municipal authorities. The European
war probably will result in the absence
Of many OF the diplomatic representa-
tives of foreign powers, usually pres
ent at such affairs.
Mr. Daniels also discussed with the
President the formal opening Of the
Panama Canal in July. The President
said It would be absolutely impossible
for him to be present at the ceremony.

VILLA STILL IN

Indications That Villa Plans To Con.

For a Supreme Effort To

Washington. Consular dispatches
received by the Washington govern
ment from various points in Mexico
indicate that while temporarily disor-
ganized by the defeat sustained at
Celaya, General villa and his forces
have by no means been removed as a
formidable factor in Mexico's civil
war.
Omcials at the State Department
are guarding closely the reports re-
ceiyed from consuls in the territory
occupied by General villa, as it is not
desired to give out military informa-
ton. but It is known that plans for
another battle with General Obregon,
the Carranza commander, are proceed.
ing rapidly.
Villas chief difficulty, it was learned
officially, is his lack of ammunition,
and until he replenishes his supply he
probably will not risk engagement
When he met Obregon at Celaya, villa
had sent forces to attack Matamoras
Nuevo Laredo, Tampico and West
Coast towns, greatly depicting his
main force. Indications now are that
he intends to concentrate all these
forces in Central Mexico for another
supreme effort against Obregon.
The Carranza forces are reported to
be well supplied with ammunition and
pressing the Villa army closely north
OF Irapuato. Carranza officials here
claim the villa movement has been
given a crushing blow, from which ii
never will recover.
In the meantime many rumors Of
counter revolutionary movements
nave been current, though they are
not credited by the American govern
ment. Many former sympathizers Of
Huerta have been in Washington, but
most Of them deny that Huerta intends
TO take the field again. Manuel Calero,
former ambassador to Washington un.
der the Madero administration, visited
the Argentine and Chilean ambassa-
dors, discussing the Mexican situation
in general II was said his visit was
without significance.
Dispatches from Vera Cruz to the
Carranza agency here said General
Obregon had reached a point y miles
north Of Irapuato and still was pur-
suing villa with an army Of 10000, in
cluding General Mergurs command.
