NO PICTURES OF FIGHT
Between Willard and Johnson to Be Shown in the United States.

Washington, April 7.-Persons who had hoped to see the Willard-J ohm son fight in motion pictures will be disappointed. It was recalled here today that federal statute express ly forbids not only the interstate transportation of fight films, but the importation of such films from for eign countries. It provides a fine of $1,O00 and Imprisonment for one year or both for each offense.
 The law was passed by congress on July 31, 1910, twenty seven days af- ter the Johnson-J Jeffries fight at Reno, New, and resulted from fears on the part of many members of congress, especially from the south, that race riots would follow attempts of the promoter to show the fight in the I'm movies.''

BRAZEN GAME BEING PLAYED BY BULGARIA
Hoping for Realization of Provisions of Treaty of San Stcfano, De-
 cIares Italian Paper.

Rome, April 6, 10:2O D. m.' via Paris, April ', 5:25 a. m.-Comment- ing upon Bulgaria's reply to Serbia protest growing out of the NalandoVo incident (the attack by Bulgarian lr- regulars upon Serbian frontier guards), the Tribuna says the clash must have displeased the triple entente powers while reviving the hopes of the cen tral empires and Turkey. The news papers think that Bulgaria is ne- gotiating with the allies and at the same time maintaining intimate re- lations with Austria and Germany.
 Bulgaria, hoping for realization of the provisions of the treaty of San Stefano, the Tribuna declares, lis playing a most audacious game which may cause all sorts of surprises"
 Under the treaty of San Stefano, signed on March 3. 1878, a princi- pality of Bulgaria was to be created extending from the Danube to the Aegean; Rumania, Serbia and Mon tenegro were recognized as indepen- dent. The provisions of the treaty were greatly altered, however, by the congress of Berlin, June-Ju1y 1878. Some of the territory which Bull garia was to obtain under this treaty was awarded to her as the result of the last Balkan war.

DUTCH MINISTER SEEKS
AID FROM UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE Cheva-
Her Van Rappard, Minister from the
Netherlands, held conference with
Counselor Lansing, of the State Depart
ment. today, looking toward joint action
between the United States and Holland
to secure modification in the embargo
orders issued by Great Britain against
commerce to and from Germany.
After leaving Mr.. Lansing's office, the
Minister said that the British embargo
created most serious situation for the
Government of Holland because of its
effect on the food supply in that country.
The Dutch Minister suggested to Coun-
selor Lansing today that in the last
clause of the Order in Council "A means
might be found by which the two ma
tions could protect themselves against
what otherwise would be a most serious
blow TO their commerce.
This clause In the order reads: Moth
ing in this order shall prevent the relaxa-
tion of the provisions of this order in
respect of the merchant vessels of any
country which declares that no COM
merce intended for or originating in Ger
many or belonging to German subjects
shall enjoy the protection of its flag"
