United States Replies
To German Note
Unneutrality Of Embargo Reasserted--
No Right Is Surrendered

Washington, April 22--Tho United
States government replied last evening
to the recent memorandum in which
Count Won Bornstorff, tho German Am
bassador, declared that "if the Ameri.
can people desire TO observe true neu.
trality, 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 uphold the legitimate
trado with Germany, especially the
trade in foodstuffs. "
The American Note, which is signed
by Secretary Bryan, was drafted at
the state department, but was finally
penncd by President Wilson himself
False Impression Suggested
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Won Bernatorff is suseep
tiblc OF being construed as impunging
the good faith Of the United States in
the performance of its dutieo as ncu-
trail, the note "takes it for granted
chat no such implication was intended -
and suggests that evidently the German
ambassador 'is laboring under certain
false impressions. F"
It is then declared that while the re-
lations OF the United States with any
one Of the bciligcrcnts "cannot wisely
be made a subject Of discussion with a
third government " such correspondence
between the United States and the nj.
lies as has been published shows "thc

ligerent to alter tho accepted rules OF
