Regret That EXigencies of War Has Made It Neces- sary to Infringe Upon American Interpretation of Neutral Rights
WILL MAKE BURDEN
 LIGHT AS POSSIBLE
If They Have Transgressed, It Is Not So Bad to Seize Neutral Ships As to Send Them to the Bottom of the Ocean
LReuubIicsn A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON. April 25.-The lat est British note in answer to the American protests against allied inter ferences with neutral trade made pub lie tonight at the state department, contends that the practice complained of are "iuridically sound and valid, and that the relief which neutrals seek is rather to be obtained by the miti- gation of necessary hardshps than by ''an abrupt change either in the theory or application of a policy based upon admitted principles of international law carefully adjusted to the altered conditions Of modern warfare
 It jisclCses that "an impartial and influential commission" has been ap- pointed to find ways to minimize de- lays and pledges the allies to make their restraints on trade as little bur dens9me to neutras as possible.
 The note. in which the French gov ernment cOncurs, reiterates the mili- tary necessity of regulating commerce to ncutrals condemns Germany and justifies the effectiveness of 5he block ade which was challenged by the last American note.
 Further diplomatic correspondence on the issue is expected to follow. The unanimity of sentiment among the worlds neutrals for the protection of neutral rights is recognized in the British note which says in conclusion: His Ma,esty's government have noted with sincere satisfaction the intimation contained in the concluding passages of the note from the United States. of the intention of the United States to undertake the task of championing the inteG-itls Of neutral rights
 The frs: act of this war was the unprovolled invasion by the enemy of neutral terTitory-that of Belgium | which he was solemnly pledged bA- treaty to ptotect.
 Ire disregard of neutral rights has 1 since teen eXterded to naval warfare by the wanton destruction of neutral | merchant ships on the high seas re- ! ga -dless of the lives of those on board | His Majesty's government would well 1 come any combination Of neutral na- 1 tions under the lead of the United l states Wnlclf WOulu exert an effective | influence to prevent the violation of neutral rights and they cannot be- lieve they or their allies have much to fear from any combination for the pro- | lection of those rights which takes ar | impartial and comprehensive view ot | the conduct of the war and judges il hy q reasonable interpretation of tht | generally accepted provisions of inter

Massachusetts Results

BOSTON, April 25.-Massachusetts will be represented in the Republican national convention by an unpledged delegation. if the outcome of todays primaries may be judged from slightly more than half of the total vote tabu- lated at II o'clock tonight
 The returns left little doubt that the unpledged group of candidates for del- e9ates- at-large. headed by Governor Mccall. had defeated the ticket whose members had declared themselves for the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt. At II o'clock tonight only three dis tricts, the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth, comprising the city of Boston, had re- ported complete returns for district del egates. Tn each of these districts un- pledged delegates were elected over Roosevelt men. There were similar | contests in the thirteen other districts There were contests in eleven dis tricts among the democrats, but these were personal, and all the candidates were understood to favor the renom- i nation of President Wilson. The vote in the republican primaries was very light

 The nitrate plant proposal was at tackled by Representative Lenroot of Wisconsin and Longworth of Ohio, who declared it was placed in thu bill at the behest of the "WaterpoWer lobby
 Representative Hay replied that the conferees nevcc would agree to this provision until ordered to do so by the house. Prolonged applause fol- lowed
 When majority had sustained the rule. Representative Kahn moved to recoAmit and strike out all of the senate amendments except that relat ing to increasing the army to 250000. Simultaneously Representative Long or New York opposing all military and naval increases. offered a motion to recommit A long parliamentary Vrangle over who should be recos- nized followed and the republicans guessing that Representative London would be the favored one because he had voted against the original house bill while Representative Kahn had not, threw Representative Britten of Illinois, a republican who stood alone with London against the original bill, into the breach with a motion to re- commit The right to make such d
 motion, the republican leaders con- | tended. belonged by tradition to the l minority.

GALES
 IN THE DARK
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

DOUGLAS, AriZ., April 25.-Follow ing the receipt today of telegram from Gen. Alvaro Obregon, minister of war in the de facto government in which Obregon said that he expected to ar rive in Juarez Wednesday, Gen. P. Elias Gales. military governor of Sonora, began making arrangements for holding a telegraphic conference with the cab met member. It was announced by Ives G. Lelevier, Mexican consul here, that General Gales will request General Obregon to give him orders as to the disposition and movements of de facto troops in Sonora. Arrangements for getting clear wire from Agua , Prieta to Juarez through the United States were made by Consul Lelevier. Several thousand de facto troops un- der command of General Arnulfo Go- meg, have been concentrated for sev- eral weeks at Colonia Morelos, 65 miles southeast of Agua Prieta, near the boundary of Sonora and Chihuahua, awaiting orders from General Obregon to enter the latter state.
 | The absence of these orders has been puzzling to the Mexican leaders, as General Obregon's command for the concentration was urgent, brooking no delay. Gales has been as much in the dark as any one else regarding the ulti- mate intentions of his government rela ! tive to troop movements.
 1 General Gales is confident that the conference between General Scott and
 Obregon will result fin an agreement being reached for the immediate with drawal of the American soldiers and
 that the Gomez troops will be ordered into Chihuahua to take part in the
 campaign against Villa and other out laws, Consul Lelevier says.
 \ At the same time that he requests
 General Obregon to give him some in-
 sight into his plans for the immediate
 future, General Gales will report the latest details of the Sonora concentra-
 tion, also giving a resume of the Yaqu Indian campaign during the last few
 weeks, since he assumed complete con trol of the military situation in Sonora A succession of victories resulting il
 the demoralization of the Indians hay,

 agreements which were said to have oc cured in the vicinity of Parral betwee American and Mexican forces, served t

 could be obtained from any source

Official Dispatches Have Contained No Intimation of the Action That the Berlin Government Will Probably Take
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

Secretary Lansing in a conference today with newspaper correspondents, deprecated the publication of reports that official dispatches to the state de- partment from Ambassador Gerard might make concessions to the United States in reply to the note demanding the immediate abandonment of the present methods of conducting sub marine warfare. He said official dis patches to the department from Berlin contained only quotations of newspa- per expressions similar in many cases to the editorial excerpts cabled to this country in press dispatches.
 The latest message received from My. Gerard. Secretary Lansing said, was dated before the imperial chancel- lor. Dr von Bethmann- Hollweg had returned from a visit to the emperor at the front, and had conferred with the ambassador.
 1t is understood here that one of the objects of the various conferences known to have taken place between of ficials of the Berlin foreign office and Amba assador Gerard had been to make it plain to the Ambassador that there would be no avoidable delay in re- spending to the American note de- mandng immediate action.
 It is felt here that stories indicating that Germany might make certain con- sessions and that the German govern ment was willing to go to great lengths to preserve the friendly relations with the United States might find their way back to Germany in distorted form and have bad effect upon the people. The internal political situation in Germany always has been extremely delicate when questions involing the subma rine policy were under consideration.
