GER MANY SENDS
U.S.STINGING NOTE
FILED WITH BRYAN BY BERN
sToRFT-cHARAcTER OF
NEUTRALITY DOUBTED.
United States Is Accused "of Accept
ing EngIand's Violation of Inter
national Law"

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington.-When the German
Embassy made public the full text Of
the memorandum which Ambassador
Won Bernstorff filed with the State
Department recently, criticising the
United States Government for alleged
discrimination in the enforcement of
its neutrality, it was at once recOg-
nized in diplomatic circles that an is
sue of the utmost seriousness for the
United States had been raised. The
German note challenged the charac-
ter of American neutrality in blunt
language, charging that the United
States Government has made "a com
plete failure" of safeguarding the le-
gitimate American trade with Ger.
many" and declaring that in view Of
this failure, "it is to be assumed that
the United States Government has ac-
cepted England's violation of interna.
tional law"
This is the strongest criticism lev
eled against the United States Govern.
ment since the Turkish Ambassador
Rustem Bey, was recalled last fall
for the publication of letter in which
he criticised the policies of the United
States. The occasion of Rustem Beys
letter was the sending Of an American
warship to Turkish waters to protect
Americans from threatened danger by
Turkish reyolutionists and brigands
In his memorandum Count Won Bern
storff raises a new issue with respect
to the shipment Of arms and ammuni
ton. He says that the internationa
agreements for the protection of the
rights of neutrals originate in thu
necessity OF protecting the existing
industries of the neutral countries.

Money Appropriated.

Distribution of the S9l ,61O,91 paid
into the United States Court by the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co
from August 10, 1910, until last June,
has been apportioned among the dis
tillory companies and is ready to be
checked out In the Greenbrier Distil-
lery case. After the railroad had
raised the rates on distillery supplies
in order to avoid discrimination un-
der the Interstate Commerce Act, the
State Railroad Commission August 10,
1870, entered an order reducing intra.
state rates and an appeal was taken.
The case came up In the United
States Court and pending disposition
of the case, the railroad company col.
lected the old rate, but paid the diff.
ference between the rate charged ana
that ordered by the commission into
court. The ruling OF the Railroad Com
mission was sustained by the United
States Supreme Court and the money
paid into court directed to be paid
back to the distillers.

DISTRIBUTION OF
Estate ROAD AID
THIRTEEN COUNTIES TO DRAW
FULL ALLOWANCE, BASED
ON 1914 ASSESSMENT.
ESTIMATE IS JUST COMPLETED
Estimated Road Fund Is $659,220-
Figures Are Prepared by State
Commissioner Terrell.
Especial Frankfort Correspondence

NSpecldl FRANKFORT correspondence
Frankfort.--Thirteen counties will
draw the full amount allowed by law
out Of the state road fund this year,
S13,164, according to estimate just
completed by Commissioner of Roads
r. c. Terrell. 1t is based upon the
1914 assessments and levy, excepting
In few instances where failure of the
counties to report made it necessary
to use the 1912 returns. The counties
which will draw the full per cent are:
Bourbon, Campbell, Christian, Clark,
Daviess, Fayette, Graves, Jefferson,
Kenton, Mason, McCracken, Nelson
and Shelby.
The amount it is estimated each
county will receive from the state
road fund is based on the ratio, the
road levy of that particular county
bears to the total levy for road pur.
poses of all the counties, $2,071,571.
The estimated road fund is $65S, ,220.
After apportioning the money on this
basis, balance of over 100000 was
redistricted within the limits of the
2 per cent, which is the maximum
any county is allowed to draw, and
also not exceeding the total amount
appropriated for state aid work, in
cluding private subscriptions. In no
case was a county allotted more than
1t asked for state aid, as some por.
tions of the county levies naturally
will be used for other work than that
undertaken according to the law gov
erning state aid projects. The distri
button of counties issuing bonds viii
be based upon their road levies ant
special tax for sinking fund purposes;
but the latter does not figure in thi!
estimate, as the commissioner had be
fore him only the 1914 levies to guide
him.
