WILL INSIST ON
NEUTRAL RIGHTS
British and French Replies Not
Sufficient.
WILSON WANTS MORE FACTS
The United states viii Deny the
Right OF the Allies To De-
clare a Blockade OF
Neutral Coasts.

Washington. - The United States
government considers that Great
Britain and France. in the British Or
der in Council and in the accompany
iny notes have not answered the Ques-
tions propounded to them as to what
warrant there is under international
law for the establishment of an en-
barge on all commercial intercourse,
directly and indirectly, between Ger
many and neutral countries.
II was stated officially at the State
Department that this government still
does not know whether the action Of
the Allies IS intended as legal block
sde or whether the ordinary rules Of
contraband and non-contraband are to
be the legal basis for future detentions.
On determination OF this question
probably will depend not only the
nature OF any steps which may be
taken by the United States at this
time, but also the basis for the many
claims for damages arising out of in
terruptions to American commerce un-
der the new policy Of the Allies.

London.-During a bombardment Of
the Turkish forts defending the
Dardanelles straits tie French battle
ship Bouvet and the British battleships
Irresistible and Ocean. in the order
named, struck floating mines and were
destroyed.
The Bouvet went down in &c fathoms
of water In less than three minutes
after striking the mine, and II is un-
derstood that few of her crew were
saved. The British battleships were
slower in sinking and practically all
the men aboard them were taken off
and remvoed in boats to other ships Of
the fleet, the rescue being effected
under a hot fire from the forts.
lnflexible and eaulols Damaee6
The British battle cruiser Infexible
had her forward control hit by a heavy
shell and will need repairs. The
French battleship Gaulois was also
put out of action.
These casualties occurred toward
the close of a vigorous action during

Other 5attleships To Join Fleet
To replace the Irresistible and the

the Queen and the Implacable TO the
Dardanelles. A dispatch from Paris
states that the French Admiralty has
taken similar action, orders having
already gone to the battleship Henri

TO go to the Dardanelles to replace the
