BRITISH REPLY
To j. 5. Note
NOT SUFFICIENT
Great Britain Puts Prize
Court Above Intarnation-
al Law.

Washington, April 25.-The state
department made public today Great
Britains reply TO the protest of the
United States of November 5 last
against British interference with neu-
trail commerce.
Officials indicated that the reply is
not satisfactory to this government.
The opinion was expressed at the
state department that Great Britain
makes only one admission which has
the semblance of CONCESSION This
is to the effect that an American
claimant has the opportunity to prove
to the prize court that tho order ON
which his property is held is in yio-
lation Of international law ard the
prize court may then decline to en-
force It.
1t was pointed out that this proce-
dure gives to the prize court inris-
diction to interpret international law
Great Britain repeats her ea;iier as
surances that she will do everything
in her power to relieve neEtrals of
annoyance. The note declares also
that Great Britain would welcome any
combination of neutral nations under
the lead of the United States which
would exert an effective influence to
prevent the violation Of neutral
rights.

JAPAN MAKES Threat
TO Sever RELATIONS
Cause for Warning to L. S. Is Objec.
ton to Certain Sections of
immigration Bill.

Washington, April 25.-It became
known today that Japan has made a
virtual threat Of severance of diplo-
matte relations if her objections to
certain provisions in the Burnett i'm
migration bill are not needed.
This evidence of the sentiment of
the Japanese nation, coming as it
does when the United States is in dip
lomatic difficulties with Germany and
Mexico, is causing officials to view
the situation with deep concern.
Furthermore. it is said, it accounts
for the haste on the part Of President
Wilson, Secretary Lansing and the
administration leaders in congress,
to make it known that the provisions
of the bill to which Japan has taken
exception will be eliminated

Braves Offer For Tim

SbceiaL to the Telegraph

Chicago, Aug. 90. = Negotiations for
a trade between the Braves and CUBS
Involving the transfer of Heine Zlm-
norman to Boston reached a DEADLOCK
yesterday after Manager Stallings had
conferred for hours with President
Weeghman and Manager Tinker. The
Boston offer for Zimmerman, though
II was not given out. fell short OF what
the Cub management considered an
equivalent for the third baseman and
a counteroffer by Manager Tinker TO
trade Zimmerman for Maranville did
not prove acceptable to Stallings. The
Boston club, it is understood. offered
TO give Chicago two outhelders or a
young pitcher.
The Cubs outfeld problem was set
tied temporarily, however. by the sign
ing of Artie Hoffman. former Cub and
recently with the Yankees. to NIL in
until the recovery of Joe Kelly, who is
suffering from a twisted ankle
The Boston club still has competition
for Zimmerman, as Manager Robinson
and President Ebbets, of the Brooklyn
Nationals, yesterday renewed nesoti-
ations. The Brooklyn offer, it was said,
was no more acceptable to the Cub
management than Boston's.
