Germany to Modify
Dyestuffs Embargo
for U.S.Exportation
Announced as Determination Of Imperial Gov
eminent in Communication Delivered by
Won Bernstorff-15,O00 Tons the
Probable Amount

Washington. April N.-The German
government has agreed to permit expor-
tation to the United States OF 1900 tons
of dyestuffs, lack of which has seriously
affected American textile manufacturers
Notification to this effect was contained
in a note delivered today by Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador, to
Secretary Lansing. The communication
explains that while Germany refused at
first to permit expectation of dyestuffs
unless they be exchanged for American
goods now excluded from Germany by
the British blockade. after careful con-
sderation Of the situation it has been
seen that this blockade has resulted in
serious embarrassment to those American
industries which are in need of dyestuffs''
and the imperial german government now
is prepared to make single exception
in permitting expectation In this instance.
It is required only that the dyestuffs shall
be consumed by American manufacturers

ALLIES CLAIM
T0ADHERE TO
LEGAL RIGHT
IN BLOCKADE
Joint Note Does Not Dis
pute Principles Set
Forth by U. S.
Contends Those Principles Are
Legally interpreted and
Applied

| Washington April 26.-According to
authentic information reaching Wash
| ington. Great Britain and France, in
their joint note replying to the Ameri-
can protest against interferences with
neutral trade, make no attempt to dis
pute principles contended for by the
United States, but insist that those
principles have been given legal inter
probation and application by the Allies
in their blockade Of Germany and Aus
tria.
On Legal Bases
This note which will be handed to
the State department within the next
Gay or two by the British and French
ambassadors is understood to be long
and extremely technical, treat ting the
whole subject on a pupely legal basis
and relying largely upon the prece-
dents laid down by the United States
in the Civil War. 1t is said the Allies
assume that the United States govern
ment does not contend that it has the
right to ship goods without restric-
ton into Germany or Austria through
contiguous neutral countries, such as
Holland, Sweden and Denmark.
The concession Of the right to block
ade an enemy country, which Is uni
versally recognized, is regarded as
necessarily carrying with it the right
to regulate the admission of goods to
the neutral country evidently destined
to be transferred to the enemy. Con-
sequently, it is contended that it is
perfectly within the spirit Of interna-
tional law to limit imports into neu-
trail country such as Holland Of goods
which might be Of use to Germany and
Austria to the amount normally con-
sumed in the neutral country.
Another point made by the allies is
that the character Of ships papers
have changed completely owing to
modern commercial methods. SO that
no longer can they be relied upon to
supply all the evidence necessary to
establish the character Of a cargo and
its liability to seizure. The practice
Of condgning goods to order or to in
dividuals in neutral countries who
are not the real consumers Of the
goods but are actually distributing
agents and forwarders to the enemy
countries. the allies insist has made

in many instances submarine com

The ''Bravest Soldiers"

in chief, in welcoming the Russians in
an order of the day, said they we're
soldiers chosen from the bravest in
the Russian armies and commanded bv
officers of the highest renown."
German Reinforcements
Coincidental with the arrival of the
Russians comes the statement from
Paris that the Germans, owing to the
strong resistance of the French at Yer
dun are withdrawing large forces from
their fronts in Russia, Serbia and
Macedonia, and throwing them into
this holly contested theatre.
Here the French. according to the la
test official communication have deliy-
cred an attack near lie Morte Homme
northwest of Nerdun and succeeded in
driving the. Germans out of portions of
a trench previously captured by them.
The Germans admit the entry by the
French of German trenches in the Cal
lette wood west of Vaux, after a heavy
French attack but say that otherwise
the attack was repulsed with heavy
casualties. The Germans according to
Berlin attacked and occupied 900 me-
tres of British positions. The British
official report comedies a German gain
there, but says that except for two era
tiers and one trench near ST. Eloi and
on the Ypres-Langemarck road the Ger
mans vIre expelled from all the posi.
tions they captured.
Turks Get No Rest
In Asiatic Turkey the Russians are
giving no rest to the Turks. They
have now dislodged them from noun
tain positions south of Bitlis and
pushed forward their forces toward
Sghert, which lies 80 miles east of
Diabekr, their objective in the opera
ton which seeks to cut off commune
cation between the northern and south
ern Turk armies.
Heavy fighting continues In the Tchuruk

forward in their attempt to capture Bal
burt and come into contact with their
army now occupying Trebizond

troops besieged in Kut-El-Amara are in

was surprised and the great majority
Of the people were cteered by the un
expected announcement after the cab
| met meeting this morning that the
cabinet deadlock over the question of
extending military CONSUMPTION had
been compromised. Thus the country is
saved from the anxious days 1t would
have suffered until Parliament re-
assemblies on Tuesday and from the
newspaper controversy which would
have ragged meantime.
Henderson's Proposal
| The Labor party v hich was the only
political group united against further
measures of compuIsion, is credited
with paving the way to the agreement.
The leader of the Labor party. Arthur
Henderson, president Of the Board Of
education, proposed. according to the
reports a further trial of voluntary
enlistment, with the promise that the
laborites would consent to gradual
extension Of CONSUMPTION if 1t proved
necessary to secure the number of
men which the military authorities
consider essential.
Demand Figures
The labor members. together with
others, dema nded that they be inform
ed on the exact position-what num-
Der of men had already been enrolled
and pledged, how many the war Of
fee requires to enlarge the army and
replace the wasteage by casualties and
other causes. Consequently, a secret
session of both houses will be con-
vened Tuesday, at which the govern
ment will supply fun information.
An official statement tonight de-
clares that the settlement satisfies all
sections of opinion represented in the
government and emphasizes that the
sole reason for the secret session Of
Parliament is to supply confidential in
formation to the members
Near Cabinet Break
Until Premier Asquith's statement
yesterday, the public failed to realize
that the government was actually on
the brink of dissolution as hostile
newspapers have strenuously adver-
tised previous crisises, which failed to
crystalize. This real crisis which is
now surmounted for the present, at
least, was not division on party lines.
The Northcliffe Press, so-called, sup
ported by the Conservative Morning
Post, has attacked the coalition cab
met, and particularly the prime min
lister. for failure to frame and execute
vigorous war policy, and has de-
manded general Consumption under the
watchword equality of sacrifice for
ALL"
The Liberal papers, with the Con-
sentative Daily Telegraphic and most
of the provincial papers, supported the
government.
Among the politicians, David Lloyd
George, who during the earlier stages
of the war became the most popular
of the Liberal members Of the cabinet:
Sir Edward Carson, who resigned from
the cabinet because Of his dissatisfac-
ton with the management Of the Gal
lipoli campaign, and Lord Milner-the
two last named being strong Conserva-
tives-have led in the demand for ex-
tending CONSUMPTION.

(From last weeks Advocate)

Nearly two hundred farmers and
families we're gathered in the
grandstand at the fair rounds
Wednesday afternoon when the
speechmaking at the first annual
farmers picnic under the auspices
of the Logan County Farm Bureau
began. And as the speaking pro-
ceeded business men of the city
kept filing in and the prospect was
that before the E fternoon was done
there would be a hundred more
persons gathered there.
1t was with much enthusiasm
that the agriculturists of the
county, men from all sections, and
their families gathered in the hor-
ticultural building for the picnic
lunch at noon, and it bespoke the
success of this first annual affair
and forecastcd the future.
About eighty thousand dollars
worth of cattle was shipped out of
Sterling to-day. Thirty-cig cal :
loads left here, mostly for river
markets for butcher stuff. They
were shipped by the Hailed Harris
company ;.nd the Great Western
Sugar company.
Surrounded by about one hund.

Laura Margaret Davis, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. NJ. Davis, be-
