London, May 6.-Lord Rotert Cecil
minister OF war, trade and blockade, to-
night issued semi-oficially 4 document
which may be described as the British
reply to the allegations in the German
note that tho British government does
not observe fully the rules Of tnterna-
tional law as a beIIigerent nation in re-
gard to the present blockade OF Germany
The statement in effect answers the
American declaration in the note of Feb
ruary II that the blockade must be con-
fined to ports on the coasts Of Great
Britain's enemies and AYERS that no neu-
trails have suffered by the British actiH-
ties
The semi-onicial declaration further
quotes precedents for the British action
in holding foodstuHs intended for enemy
destination as contra band The semi-of-
fetal statement in full follows:
Can Make No General Comment.
The reply of the German government
to the American note Of April 20 respect
ing submarine warfare Is not communi-
cation upon which any general comment
can properly be made IN this country.
as the questions at issue concern the
United States and Germany and any in
terference by a third party would be
presumptuous.
since. however, the German note con-
tains certain misstatements OF fact re-
specting the action of Great Britain, the
following observations may not be
thought out Of place.
The German government states that
they have, as far as possible, instituted
far-reachIng restraint upon the use of the
submarine weapon solely in consideration
of the interests of neutrals and in spite
OF the fact that these restrictions were
necessarily of advantage to Germany's
enemies. It is alleged that no such con-
sideration ever has been shown to neu-
trails by Great Britain and her allies.
No Lives Taken.
DO the facts bear out these assertions ?
So far as is known, the measures taken
by Great Britain against German trade
have cost no neutral his life Great
Britain maintains that they are in ac-
cord with principles Of international law
and is prepared to make good that claim.
They can surely compare favorably, in
sofar as consideration to neutraIs is con-
Cerned, with the policy whose fruits are
seen in tragedies Of the Lusitania, Ara
bic and Sussex
The Germans may claim that it is ow-
ing to the Illegal conduct of British war
fare that Germany was forced to resort
to the submarine campaign.
This, Of course, is not the first time
that the Germans have attempted to
justify their submarine warfare on the
ground that it is a measure of reprisal
against the action Of the British govern

omcIaIs of Philadelphia Bourse Dis
satisfied with Note.

Philadelphia, May 6.-The sentiment Of
Philadelphia business men, as reflected
by the opinions expressed today on the
floor Of the Philadelphia Bourse, the com
mercial center Of this city. is that the
German reply TO President Wilson's 'ul-
timstum" has not only evaded the real
Issue, but renders its concessions as to
the conduct OF the submarine warfare
virtually vslueless because Of the at
tachment Of conditions virtually impos-
sible Of fulhIlment
Members OF the BOurse and Of the
Commercial, Maritime and other ex-
changes on the Bourse floor, were en-
phatic in their advocacy OF an irnmedi-
ate severance Of diplomatic relations with
Germany.

-NC"h
Paris, May 6.-Coincident with the re-
ply of the Kaiser to President Wilson's
note, the Verdun battle has Ieaped up
with far greater fierceness than has
characterized it any time since February
A terrific tornado Of explosive and
poison shells deluges Mort Homme and
Hill 3O4 and during the past couple Of
days the crown prince has launched sew
eral divisions of his finest remaining
troops (who. during the last few days
Hill 3O4, which is two and one half miles
southwest OF Mort Homme and 1000 yards
southeast of Haucourt
The object of this great onslaught was
to turn the French at Mort Homme and
force a general retreat in this region.
Unspeakably awful was the bernhard
ment OF Hill SO4, which was followed by
six infantry attacks all of which were
repulsed, except the last one. when the
Germans succeeded in obtaining a foot
ing in one Of the advanced trenches.
Everywhere else in this section the
French threw back the attackers after
an epochal bayonet battle which will
live in French military history as an en-
gagement which cost the Germans tre-
mendous losses.
The German tactics show plainly to the
French stan that a new offensive is
pending. This offensive, 1t is forseen,
will be of terrific force, perhaps even
greater than the first one in February
against Avocourt.

No Detailed Report Yet.
Maj. Howe is still too busy to make a
detailed report to Ger. Pershing. That
must come when the job is thoroughly
cleaned up. as it is being done. Yet
enough has come through for the soldiers
to say that IT will be a long day before
the feat will Be repeated.
Maj. Howe and his troopers were at
San Antonio thirty-six miles north Of Ojo
Azules. which is seventeen miles south OF
Cusihuriachic. on Thursday evening
when word came that the VIllista forces
under Gems. Cruz Dominguez, Julio Acos-
ia. and Antonio Angeles, a cousin OF
Villas former chief of artillery. Gen.
Felipe Angeles. had attacked the Car
rama garrison at that point late in the
afternoon. The garrison had held them
of until nightfall, when hostilities ceased
under the Mexican custom, but there
were fears for the morning, as the W.
Iistas were in considerable force
The American troopers set out on that
thlrty-six-miIe dash at $50 o'clock in
the evening over a country bad enough
in the daytime, but positively dangerous
at night. They had not only TO make the
trip in safety, but also to prevent any

is that President Wilson will direct Sec
retsry Lansing to prepare another note
to Germany.
VIII Allow No Violation
A general reference may be made 10
the purpose OF the United States TO see
that the freedom OF the seas is not
violated from any quarter. This will be,
it is said. the only reference to any
later action which this government may
take with regard to the British block
ade. President Wilson will stand firm in
his contention not 10 discuss the affairs
Of one benlgerent with another. His
idea is TO settle diplomatic proSIens

eign office and not with thsy Wilhelm
strssse.

Germany's desire for peace has impress
ed the Presidnt but has not causd him
to build castles in the air on this score.
The President, it is explained, knows
that Germany has desired peaee-on her
own terms for months past The OBJ
stacle to peace at present Is regarded
here as more or less independent OF Ger
many's wishes. It comes from the fact
that the entente allies are unwilling 10
discuss peace at all now. In well-Inform-
ed quarters it is believed that the most
favorable terms which Germany could
offer would be summarily rejected in
every capital OF the entente powers.
