ENGLAND"s DEFENSE
Contends Her Acts Are Consistent
i With International Law

Washington, July 27-Defending
her practices in the attempt to stop
all trade with Germany, the Brit
ish government, in note to the Unit
ed States received yesterday, con-
tends:
That her acts are consistent with
the principles of international law
for which the United States is con-
tending; that these principles have
been merely given a new application
to suit changed conditions on the seas
and the geographical situation res
pecting Germany;
That precedent for the acts under
the orders in council to which the
United States has taken exception Is
found in the record of the United
States government during the civil
war. and sustained by decisions OF
the Supreme Court of the United
States, which decisions were accepted
by Great Britain;
That if American citizens feel the
have been deprived of their rights in
the British governments interferen-
ces with trade they have first the
prize courts in which to present their
cases, and, should the prize court rul-
ings be unsatisfactory, they have the
British priyy council, OF supreme
court, and, finally, the diplomatic sup
port of the United States govern
ment with which arbitration of such
claims might be arranged as in pre-
vious instances and particularly in ac-
cord with existing arbitration trea-
ties between the two governments.
The British note is in reply to the
American note of March 80 in which
the attitude of the United States to-
ward certain acts supposedly conten-
plated under the then recently issued
orders in council was fully set forth
It is understood it was prepared by
the British government many weeks
ago, but has been held in The foreign
Office pending the coming Of a favo-
rable moment for it's presentation.
The impression prevailed here yester-
day that the British authorities feit
that now that the United Staes has
presened what is generally regard
ed as it's last word to Germany on
the submarine issue, it would be an
opportune moment for presenting q
defense of British policies.

RUSSIANS FIGHT GAS.
Burn Oil-Soaked Moss And Drive
Poison Vapors up.

London, July 27.-The Russians
have developed simple but effective
method of meeting German attacks
with poisonous gases, according TO
the Posts Petrograd correspondent
The Russians dig a shallow gutter
some distance in front of their posi-
ton, filling it with moss.
AS soon as the scouts report that
a gas attack is being prepared the
Russians pour a considerable quantity
of petroleum into this gutter. The
oil drenches the moss and soaks into
the soil. When the gas cloud begins
to appear the moss is set on fire
and flames rise quickly, even the soil
burning fiercely until the petroleum
is exhausted.
The effect is to change entirely
the air currents for some distance.

ANOTHER STRIKE LIKELY
Agitators Not Allowed TO Return to
Work

Bridgeport, Conn, July 27.-Unless
the labor situation at the Remington
Arms and Ammunition Company's
plant is adjusted by tomorrow after
noon another strike will be called ac-
cording to a statement here last night
by J. j. Keppler, international vice
president of the machinists' union.
1t had been expected that all of the
strikers would be back to work yes
terday after the announcement of last
week of the labor leaders that an
agreement had been reached with the
company for weekly working scll+-
dule of 4S hours with no decrease in
wages, but complications arose when
returning strikers were refused en-
ployment.
Manufacturers say only about hall
dozen "agitators" were turned away
but members of the machinists union
assert the number reached $50. When
the ironworkers learned of the turn
of affairs they again walked out. A
few of them, however, returned 20
work during the afternoon, and the
remainder, it was said, would go back
today pending further attempt at a
settlement.

DISCUSS AMERICAN NOTE
Question of Naturalization for
American Lives Lost May be
Suggested.

Berlin July 27-The imperial chan
cellor DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollwwe
yesterday conferred with the en-
peror at general headquarters. While
the audience concerned other ques-
tions, the American note was also un-
der discussion.
Nothing tangible regarding the Ger
man attitude on the American COM
munication is likely to be made
known before the chancellor's return
to Berlin.
No discussions of the note have Ia
ken place at the foreign office and the
question whether any reply whatever
to the American communication will
be made seems in the meantime to
be quite unsettled. Some officials are
inclined to believe that the American
note closes the diplomatic discussions
most thoroughly.
: Others. think that a reply of some
sort will be made: by Germany, and
that the question of indemnification
for the American lives lost will per-
haps be suggested for reference to
arbitration. This suggestion was I'M
der consideration during the drafting
of !, the earlier notes, but if decided
upon will almost certainly rot be put
into. operation Immediately.
One factor in this determination is
the desire to await the outcome of the
negotiation with England regarding
interference with American trade.
The outcome of this dispute, it is be-
lieved, is not likely to affect the gene
raj German policy regarding subma-
rines, but the tone of the American
note to Great Britain will be taken
as. guide lin interpreting the latest
note to Germany.
Officials believe this is decidedly
brusque and most calculated to aid
in the settlement of the German
American difficulties.

Thus when about a dozen uhlans
came and lodged at the farm there
was no able-bodied man to protect the
women. The uhlans ate and drank
heartily. then began to make remarks
which frightened the mother, who ran
to hide In the cellar, where she had
already concealed her two daughters.
Presently the uhlans began to search
the house. One came down the first
steps to the cellar and shouted in
French:
See here, madame, were there no
woman domestics on this farm
Where are they?"
Terrified, the daughters crouched
behind a large barrel. Seeing only
the mother the uhlan disappeared and
all went away.
Nothing Is more remarkable than
the simplicity with which the coun-
try people relate their terrible expe-
riences. They utter no ordinations
OF horror or dread. and one feels that
they are incapable OF inventing the
details. They merely tell what they
have seen or heard in the same quiet
tone with which you might remark

TOLD TO KILL SELF
German Soldier Takes Own Life
at Officers Order.
DISCIPLINE IS maintained
Correspondent Finds Main Army Kept
From observation-disclosures In the
Country Are Accused Of Com
hitting Abuses.

Chicago have just returned from
Montdidier, Is kilometers mine miles)
east of Roye, writes Gabriel Delagarde
to the Chicago Daily News. l CLEANED
there information which tends to show
that, while discipline is severely main
tanned by the German military au.
thorities in the larger communities,
the uhlans and scattered outposts in
the country districts have committed
outrages. l shall give one story illus
trating each phase of this situation.
When the Germans reached Com
piegne they found the city almost
empty of able-bodied men, there being
only women, children and aged per.
sons. There we're some cases Of pill
lage. but, generally speaking, the in
vaders conducted themselves well.
Two Hours to Kill Himself.
One Saxon, however, billeted on a
house where there was a defenseless
young woman, began to court her as
siduously. When she resisted his ad-
vances he attacked her. She succeed
ed in escaping and went at once to
complain to the commanding officer.
The latter accompanied her to the
house, where he saw the furniture
overturned and every evidence of a
violent struggle. The officer turned
sternly to the soldier and said:
Il give you just two hours in which
to kill yourself. II you are not dead
in two hours you will be shot"
A barricade had been erected In the
street. The soldier went behind the
barricade. fired a revolver bullet into
his own head and was buried without
ceremony that evening.
While in Montdidier went, accom-
panied by a soldier, to interview a
young woman whose parents own a
large farm close to a village near
Roye. She is twenty-five years old
and has a sister twenty-four. Her IA
Their is old and bent and her mother is
about fifty. She has no brothers and
