A Reply Sent
 to Germany
THE REFORMATION OF
 ARMS FROM THE U. S.
BY PRESIDENT WILSON
Declares That to Place an Embargo On Arms During War Would be Direct Violation of Neutrality of the United States.

Washington, April 21-The United States government replied today to the recent memorandum in which Count von Bernstoff, the German am bassador, declared that If the Amer ican people desire to observe true stop the exclusive importation of arms to one side, or at least to use this export trade as a means to uphold the legitimate trade with Germany, es- pecially the trade in food stuffs."
 Penned by President.
 The American note, which is sign ed by Secretary Bryan, was drafted at the state department, but was final ly penned by President Wilson him self. After pointing out that the language used by Count Von Bern strued as impugning the good faith of the United States in the perform ance of it's duties as a neutral,' the note s"takes it for granted that no such implication was intended" and sug- gests that evidently the German am bassador lis laboring under certain false impressions.
 Accepted Rules of War.
 It is then declared that while the relations of the United States with any one of the belligerents cannot
  sion with a third government" such correspondence between the United States and the Allies as has been pub lished shows "the steadfast refusal of the American government ito ac- knowledge the right of any belliger- ent to alter the accepted rules of war at sea insofar as they affect the rights and interests of neutrals.
 Friendship Toward Germany.
 The attitude of the United States on the question of eXportation of arms is e-stated-namely, that to place any embargo on arms during the progress of a war would be "a direct violation of neutrality of the United States" The note refers to the spirit of friendship which the United States desires always to manifest toward Germany and it's people and concludes witk the declaration that the neu- trality of the. United States ''is founded upon the firm basis of con- science and good will.''
 The communication was delivered by message to Count Won Berpstofi late today.
