Final returns from Califor-

majority, which gives him the
Is electoral votes of California
and insures his election.
The addition of California
to the Democratic column gives
Wilson 269 votes, which isthree
more than necessary to elect.
Wilson is leading in the be-
lated returns from New Mex
leo and there is no doubt but
that New Mexico's three elee-
toral votes will go to Wilson,
which will give him PIP.
Complete returns are not in
from West Virginia and Min
nesota. Hughes has slight
lead in those states, but if both
states go for Hughes he will
have only 255 electoral votes,
which is II votes short of the
go necessary to elect.
1t will require the official
vote to determine who has
carried Minnesota and West
Virginia, and it is possible that
both these states will finally
come into the Wilson column.

MUST OBSERVE
AMERICAN LAWS
Germans in the United States
Warned by Berlin.
OFFICIAL NOTE is ISSUE
Ambassador Won Bernstorff Sends In.
structions to All Teuton consuis
in This Country.

Washington, May 19.-Germany,
through Count Won Bernstorff, has in.
structed all German consuls in the
United States to admonish German
citizens in their districts to scrupu-
lousy observe American laws. This
was done in an effort to end various
alleged violations of American neu-
trality.
The ambassador acted on instruc.
tons from the Berlin foreign office.
The action was announced in this
official statement from the German
embassy:
I'm consequence Of cases which
have occurred Of late the German am
bassador has sent instructions to all
German consuls in the United States
to strongly impress on German citi.
zens living in their districts that 1t is
their duty scrupulously to obey the
laws of the state in which they re-
SIDE"
It was said at the German embassy
the instructions were designed to pre-
vent plots or lawlessness on the part
of German citizens who might be dis
posed to engage in such.
The German government, it was
said, looks with great disfavor on any
such conduct and desires that they
shall not engage in any undertaking
in any way outside the law.
1t was not disclosed whether specific
cases have been brought to the atten-
ton of the German government, but
it was made clear that Berlin officials
want the United States and it's peo-
pie to understand they have not coun-
tenanced any illegal affairs with
which German citizens or sympathiz-
ers in this country have been con-
nected.
Count Won Bernstorff's instructions
were forwarded to German consuls
Immediately upon their receipt.
