IN REVOLT AT DUBLIN

NEW YORh, April 26.-The revolt in

sions of the British government, &C

STATES ATTITUDE TOWARD
ARMED MERCHANT SHIPS
Wilson's Statement Holds to
Right of Vessels to Arm
for Protection Only

WASHINGTON. April GA state
ment defining the attitude of the United
States toward armed merchant ships
was made public today by the state de-
partment by direction of President VIII
son. 1t originally was PREPARED as a
circular note to other powers. But it
later was decided to issue ii as a state
ment.
The statement holds to the right of a
merchant ship to arm for protection only
but declares that merchantmen which
have used their ornaments for aggres-
sive purposes are not entitled to the
same hospitality in, neutral ports as
lpeaceable armed merchantmen"
1.-THE status of an armed merchant
vessel of a belligerent," says the state
ment, "is to be considered from the point
of view of a neutral when the Vessel
enters its ports, and from that of an
enemy when the vessel is on the high
seas"
The statement treats at length or
these differences in status and sums
them up as follows:
1.-THE status of an armed merchant
vessel as a warship in neutral waters
NAV be determined, in the absence OF
documentary proof or conclusive evil
dence of previous aggressive conduct, py
presumption derived from all the cir
cumstance of the case.
"The status of sucn vessel as war
ship on the high seas must be deter
mined only upon conclusive evidence OF
aggressive purpose, in the absence OF
which it is to be presumed that the yes
| sci has a private and peaceable char
acter, and il should be so treated py
an enemy warship.
"In brief, a neutral government may
proceed upon the presumption that an
armed merchant vessel of belligerent
nationality is armed for aggression,
while a belligerent should proceed on
the presumption that the vessel is armed
for protection. Both of these presump-
tions may be overcome by evidence
the first by secondary or collateral evil
dence, since the fact to be established
is negative in character; the second by
primary and direct evidence, since the
fact to be established is positive in
| character"

MANY SWEDISH INDUSTRIES
ARE HARD HIT IN BIG WAR
(By Associated Press. }


WASHINGTON, April 25.-Many
Swedish Industries have been blighted
by the war and those that have sur
vived did so only because they could
meet changed conditions easily, accord
ing to information gathered by the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic commerce.
Importation difficulties and high ocean
rates have brought disaster to some
lines of business.
Manufacturers of steam engines and
shipbuilders have increased their BUSH
ness largely, it is said, and plants manu-
featuring machinery for export have suf-
fered little. Building activity has de-
clined.
Production of wood pulp was decreased
because many markets were closed by
the war.
The textile industry has suffered, but
the market for wooden goods has been
strong. The leather industry has had
good period.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-An effort

a bill, the effect OF which. IL is believ-
ee would be TO cut down the number
of cases now going to the court as

The bill will be considered shortly by

The reforms proposed would be;
THE courts summer vacation
would be reduced one week by requir-
ing it to begin work each year on the

came head of the court, the tribunal

Limiting cases from state courts
