a theater, appealed from a lower court
decision unfolding the right of the
management In revoking the license
conferred by possession of an admis-

civil rights act forbidding discrimina-
tion, but the respondents contended
there was no discrimination and that
he had been barred from the theater

New York, Feb. 23.-Urgent pleas

No one would so thoroughly ap-

Washington, said David Jayne Hill,
president of the advisory board of the
society and former ambassador to Ber-
lin, From the day Washington un.
dertook the command of the Continen.
tai army until it finally was disbanded,
there never was a moment when re-
sistance was completely organized. At
no time did he. have under him for
service q number of men equal to the
regular troops that confronted him."
Charles J. Bonaparte, former attor-
ney general, said: ...... ........ -
Two plain and momentous lessons
have been taught to the world by con-
elusive and terrible experience during
the past eighteen months. The first
is that no observance Of neutrality,
however scrupulous, and no treaty
pledges. however solemn, will avail for
one moment or be worth so much as
a grain of sand, to protect weak ma
ton from unprovoked and unjustitia-
BILE aggression. The second is that
adequate preparation for war is not
a matter of weeks or even months.
but a matter of years and that mad.
equate preparation is little. better than
no preparation at all"

American Controversy With England
on illegal Seizure and Trade Re-

Settlement is Requested.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The United
States government has taken steps to
bring to a head all outstanding nego-
tiations with the European belliger-
ents. Ambassador Page at London
was instructed to ask immediate re-
plies to the protests against allied in
reference with American mails and
to press for modification of the Brit
ish trading with the enemy" decree.
He will at the same time present sup
Elementary protests in which, so far as
the mail situation is concerned, this
government will deny the British con-
tention that neutral vessels entering
British ports are subject to British
port regulations. 1t is under this rul-
ing that Great Britain Is searching
Teutonic and Scandinavian mails and
Selling securities of great value that
are en- route to the United States
Forced Into British Waters.
The United States takes the posi-
ton that these vessels are forced into
British waters through the mining OF
neutral channels by the belligerents
and that their detention and the search
Of their mails is a gross infringe
ment of the freedom Of the seas"
The trading with the enemy" decree,
the United States holds, is also an
unwarranted interference with Ameri-
can interests Ambassador Page has
been requested to press for an early
reply to these two protests.
This action was taken Ito clear the
diplomatic decks" so far as this gov
ernment is concerned so that 1t can
have free hand in disposing of the
Teutonic submarine negotiations. Of
1cials consider that under the new
submarine declaration of war" by
Germany and her allies another grave
situation is presented and it is hoped
that matters affecting the entente
powers can be got out of the way
before action on the submarine situa-
ton is forced.
No Reprimand Intended.
Secretary Lansing also took occa.
sion to deny that he planned to repri-
mand Ambassador Won .Bernstorff for
