.BRYAN'S REPLY TO
BERNSTORFF note
Reflection on Our Good Faith
is Resented.
INTERNATIONAL LAW LESSON
In Diplomatic Language the President
Makes Evident His Intention
To Reprimand the German
Ambassador.

Washington. - The United States
Government replied to the recent
memorandum in which Count Won
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador,
declared that "if the American people
desire to observe true neutrality, they
will find means to stop the exclusive I'M
portation of arms to one side, or at
least to use this export trade as
means to uphold the legitimate trade
with Germany, especially the trade in
foodstuffs."
The American note, which is signed
by Secretary Bryan, was drafted at
the State Department, but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself.
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Won Bernstorh is sus-
ceptible Of being construed as i'm
pugning the good faith of the United
States in the performance of its duties
as neutral" the note takes it for
granted that no such implication was
intended" and suggests that evidently
the German Ambassador Is laboring
under certain false impressions"
It is then declared that while the
relations of the United States with
any one of the belligerents cannot
wisely be made subject of discussion
with third government" such CORE
spondence between the United States
and the Allies as has been published
shows 1.-THE steadfast refusal" of the
American government ito acknowledge
the right of any belligerent to alter
the accepted rules of war at sea in
sofar as they effect the rights and in
terests of neutrals."
The attitude of the United States
on the question of expectations of
arms is restated-namely, that to
place any embargo on arms during the
progress of war would be "a direct
violation of the neutrality of the
United States. The note refers to the
spirit of friendship which the United
States desires always to manifest to-
ward Germany and its people, and con-
cludes with the declaration that the
neutrality of the United States is
found on the firm basis of conscience
and good will"

V|V|ANI SAYS
PEACE IS NOT NEAR
French Premier Quoted in The
Hague Dispatch.
INDEMNITY ONLY TO BELGIUM
Editors OF Paris Papers In HeartTo-
Heart Talk Told Not To Lead
Their People To Elk
pect One.
(Copyright.)

The Hague. - Absolutely reliable
news has reached here of a highly I'M
portant statement by NJ. Viviani, the
French Prime Minister, that there is
no question of peace in the near
future, and that France, at least, has
little, of any, hope of obtaining q war
indemnity from Germany, even If de-
feated.
This statement was made to the edi-
tors of all the leading Paris newspa-
pers, who M. Viviani summoned to his
working cabinet for heart-to-heart
talks on the situation. The Prime
Minister said:
at is highly advisable not to give
the people the impression that peace
will be concluded in the near future.
SIT is also highly advisable not to
lead the people to believe that we shall
obtain an important monetary in
demnity from Germany"
BY 1--WE" the editors understood M.
viviani to refer to France. After their
chat with the Premier their convic-
ton was that any indemnity that could
be wrung from Germany would not be
heavy enough even to cover the cost
of the ruin of Belgium, and that Eng
land and France. as guarantors of her
neutrality, would be in honor bound to
hand over to Belgium the total sum
that Germany may pay.
Paris editors also understand that it
is the opinion of the French Govern
ment that, contrary to what might be
expected at the winding up the great
war, the peace preliminaries will oc-
cupy very little time. Once peace is
seriously mentioned on both sides hos
tilities will cease with a minimum of
delay.

VILLA STILL IN
THE WAR GAME
Is Preparing for Another Battle
With Oregon.
WAS SHORT OF AMMUNITION
Indications That Villa Plans To Con-
centrate His Scattered Forces
For Supreme Effort To
Defeat obregon.

Washington. - Consular dispatches
received by the Washington govern
ment from various points in Mexico
indicate that while temporarily disor-
ganized by the defeat sustained at
Celaya, General Villa and his forces
have by no means been removed as a
formidable factor in Mexico's civil
war.
Officials at the State Department
are guarding closely the reports re-
ceived from consuls in the territory
occupied by General Villa, as it is not
desired to give out military informa-
ton, but it is known that plans for
another battle with General Obregon,
the Carranza commander, are proceed
ing rapidly.
Villas chief difficulty, it was learned
oficially, is his lack of ammunition,
and until he replenishes his supply he
probably will not risk engagement.
When he met Obregon at Celaya, Villa
had sent forces to attack Matamoras,
Nuevo Laredo, Tampico and West
Coast towns, greatly depicting his
main force. Indications now are that
he intends to concentrate all these
forces in Central Mexico for another
supreme effort against Obregon.
The Carranza forces are reported to
be well supplied with ammunition and
pressing the Villa army closely north
of Irapuato. Carranza officials here
claim the Villa movement has been
given crushing blow. from which it
never will recover.
In the meantime many rumors of
counter revolutionary movements
nave been current, though they are
not credited by the American govern
ment Many former sympathizers of
Huerta have been in Washington, but
most of them deny that Huerta intends
to take the field again. Manuel Calero,
former ambassador to Washington I'M
der the Madero administration, visited
the Argentine and Chilean ambassa-
doris, discussing the Mexican situation
in general 1t was said his visit was
without significance.
Dispatches from Vera Cruz to the
Carranza agency here said General
Obregon had reached a point IL miles
north of Irapuato and still was pur-
suing Villa with an army of 10000, in
GLIDING General Mergul's command.
General Dieguez, the dispatches said,
had taken Guadalajara and would act as
Obregon's rear guard. Villa losses at
Celaya were estimated at 5000 killed
and 5000 missing.
