that the, citizens of Collision and

since the principal grounds OF the
contest are that the people of these

last December.
II the court does not order another

GERMAN C0mPL AIMS j. S. HAS
BEEN WEAK IN NOTES TO ALLIES
TO DISADVANTAGE OF GERMANY

Germany in her diplomatic notes-this
being cited by the German foreign Of
flee as one of the reasons for procltim-
ing submarine war zone of the Wa
tiers surrounding Great Britain and
Ireland.
The United States denied in it's reply
that 1t had been silent on the question
and called attention to it's diplomatic
notes to Great Britain with these sub
jects. 1t is understood that the reply to
the present complaint will deny vigor-
ously that this government has acqui-
esced in any way to the order in council
and probably will refer to the last note
sent by the United States to Great
Britain arguing at length it's opposi-
ton to the view point of the Allies on
the blockade question.
AS for the utterances of the President
on the shipment of arms into Mexico
officials here hold that the Mexican
situation constitutes a special case, in
no way comparable with relations be-
tween the United States and the Euro
pean belligerents. Officials point out
that the President said in the same ad-
dress to Congress:
"I deem Il my duty to exercise the au-
thority conferred upon me by the law
of March ia, 1912, to see to it that neither
side to the struggle now going on in
Mexico receive any assistance from this
side OF the border"
There Is nc law by which the Presi-
dent of the United states. it was declar-
ed. could exercise the same authority.
even il he were DESTROYS OF Torbidding
the exploration OF arms to all belliger-
ents as to do so without authority from
Congress would be unconstitutional.
The view point OF the American gov
eminent mas been from the outset that
its position with respect to the ship
n1ent of arms has been enforced impair
TALLY as to ali belligerents and Secretary
Bryans letter to Chairman Stone of the
Senate foreign relations committee. dis
cussing this point, contended that if
the Germanic allies were unable to en-
10y the same advantage to the delivery
of arms into their country this was due
to the naval superiority of Great Brit
ain and not to any circumstances over
which the United States has any con-
-ol.

Rio Janeiro, April 'S.-The British
steamer Ismalia came into Rio Janeiro
today and no soner had she dropped
anchor than speculation was rife as to
her real character. She has on board

Lack of coal compelled him to come in
here. He declined any further explana-
ton, nor has it been possible to learn
why such a large number of passengers
are going to the Falklands.
British warshipe are still believed to
be in Falkland waters and it is said here
that the Ismaila is a transort taking
LAG officers and men to reinforce their
crews.
The British steamer Ismaila sailed
from Newcastle. \. S. W., Feb s, and
had not been reported from that date

sition were moved down by our ma
chine guns. Not one of them escaped
