U. s. NOTE IS
MADE PUBLIC
PROTESTS AGAINST ENCLAND'S
EMBARGO ON COMMERCE
REVIEWS LEGAL PHASES
EXPECTS GREAT BRITAIN TO MAKE
PREPARATION FOR EVERY ACT
OF VIOLATION

Washington. D. G, April 9.-The
United States government made public
today the note to Great Britain an
nouncing it ''could not admit" either
the right of the allies or their claims
Of justification of placing an embargo
on all commercial intercourse between
Germany and neutral countries. ITO
admit it" says the communication,
"would be to assume an attitude of
un-neutrality toward the present enc
mics OF Great Britain, which would be
obviously inconsistent with the solemn
obligations of this government in the
present circumstances, and for Great
Britain to make such claim would be
for her to abandon and set at naught
the principals for which she has con-
sistently and earnestly contended in
other times and circumstances"
The note reviews the legal phases of
the blockade Of belligerent territory
and the virtual blockade of neutral
coasts In conclusion, the United
States states its expectation that Great
Britain, after consid dering the possi-
bilities Of the serious interruption Of
American trade" under the order is
sued in council, will take the steps
necessary to avoid them, and in the
event that they unhappily occur, be
prepared to make full reparatiou for
every act which, under the rules of in
ternational law. constitutes violation
of neutral rights,

Pierre. 8. D. April 9.-That the pro-
visions of certain laws of 1911 are un.
constitutional and void is the opinion
Of the state legal department., on iu-
quiry by State Land Commissioner
Hepperlee. That section is in relation
to compensation for permanent i'm
provements placed upon state lands.
Its closing provision holds: "Said de-
posit to be paid to the owner of said
dam or we'll, said payment to be credit
ed upon rent or purchase price of said
highest bidder for the lands upon
which said dam or we'll ia located"
This provision was. made q part of
the act on the grounds that when q
leaseholder on state lands placed suoh
permanent improvements as we'll or q
dam on the same he should be COM
pensated by the payment of at least
one.balf the cost Of the same II the
land was leased or sold to another.
This provision is held to be In vio-
lation of sections 2 and 3, article 8 of
the constitution, which prohibits any
of the principal or interest of the
SCHOOL fund to be diverted from the
benefit ef.the schools in any manner.
Such payment out of lease money is
held to be diverting the income; and
