depreciation and application by the
allies in their blockade Of Germany
and Austria.
This note, which will be handed to
the state department within the next
day or two by the British and French
ambassad dors Is understood to treat the
whole subject on a purely legal basis
and to rely largely on the precedents
laid down by the United States In the
civil war
Asssrt Right to Limit Exports.
5@ 1t Is said the allies assume that the
United States government does not
contend that 1t has the right to ship
goods without restriction into Germany
or Austria thru 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 nee
essarily carrying with 1t the right to
regulate the admission Of goods to the
neutral country evidently destined to
be transferred to the enemy. More
over, 1t is argued that an incident to the
exercise OF this right Of regulation OF
imports is the right to search vessels
approaching the neutral country and
that this can be done only by taking
the neutral ship to the nearest conven-
lent port where the cargo may be ex-
amined. z# =

ating in United States-Lansing to

fled by Bernstorff. ~ l.

Washington. April Educational
indictments of German sympathizers
in this country will be asked by the
department Of justice as a result of the
revelations of Horst Won der Goltz.
Won der Goltz's statement was said to
have opened a field practically with
out limits"
The government will follow every
clue. 1t was understood today the
number OF men involved in Won der
Goltzs activities in the United States
is much larger than had been thought
heretofore.
The pending New York indictments
against five Of Won der Goltz's assist
ants were said to include the leaders
in the conspiracy to blow up the Well
and canal, but indictments Of men in
volved in minor ways will be sought
soon.
To Return Papers.
The state and justice departments
today announced the government
willingness to return to the German
embassy all the papers seized with the
arrest of Wolfe Won Igel which Count
Won Bernstorff will identify as official.
Count Won Bernstorff protested Wig
orously against the taking Of the pa
pers and it was said that SECRETARY
Lansing was considering the necessity
Of an official apology. Should the am
bassador assert that the documents
were all official they would be. re-
turned to him but it was said to be the
intention Of the department to keep
the Photographic copies.
It Is said the papers disclosed some
matters which have not before come
to the governments attention. If none
of the iocuments3a are declared official
1t is understood the United States will
use them all In the prosecution of Won
Igel and his assistants.
That Secretary Lansing would send
a note to Ambassador Won Bernstorff
expressing regret at the seizure Is
probable. 'e
1t was suggested the state depart
rnent might delay action until the sub
marine situation assumed definite
character

Russian Decree Expended, Closing

Washington, April 21.-The Russian
decree closing, the port Of Archangel
to all ship cargoes except those ex-
clusively for the use of the govern
ment, have been extended to include all
ports Of the White sea and Arctic
ports. it was made known at the Rus
sian embassy today. c.:r s

with the movement Of Russian troops
to France. s A y II El.s =
It was said today that the Russian
embassy will issue statement as to
just what ship movements are per-
mitted under the decree. Ey, -,sz:y y
The Russian dispatches regarding
the closing Of ports offer no explana-
tion. TX '1>E. 9. !. &5}3.zE
It is assumed by the officials here
that the closure is a purely military
measure incident to the use of the
ports for the embarkation Of the heavy
Russian reinforcements going forward
to France.
The necessity OF guarding the troop
transports has obliged the Russian
government to regard as enemy ves-:
sells all but government owned and
chartered ships, and to reduce to the
minimum the danger Of destroying
neutral vessels, the ports have been
closed.

Appeals Finds Company Is Not op-
Grating in Violation Of Sherman
Antitrust Law.
Chicago, April 21.-'The Quaker Oats
Company is not operating in violation
OF the Sherman antitrust law, accord
ing to decision of Judges Of the Unit
ed States circuit court Of appeals here
today. The finding came after two
days Of argument, based on testimony
taken in various cities Of the country
since the suit was filed in June, 1913
Judges Julian ]. Mack and Francis
e. Baker found that the government
had failed to make out case against
the defendant, but Judge Samuel AL
schuler dissented. The jurists have
been sitting as a district court in orde,
to facilitate possible appeal to the su-
preme court Of the United States.
The specific charge against the
quaker Oats Company was that in
buying from Joy Morton and the other
owners, two plants and the trade mark
and good will Of the Great Western Ce-
real Company. it entered into com
bination in restraint Of trade which
put IL lnLU III ucdIly ~ pei
cent Of the rolled oats business.
The governments contention was
that the Great Western Company was
virtually the Jonly competitor Of the
Quaker Oats Company. The latter de-
MED the charge and declared that COM
petition had been more severe since
the disputed transaction than before
In giving his decision. Judge Baker
said that he was ready to dismiss the
bill on the governments own charge
because no combination, contract o,
conspiracy in restraint Of trade was
shown.
''When the government admitted =
had no power to act against Joy Nor
ton or the Great Western Cereal Com
pany there was nothing to do but dis
miss the case against the Quaker Oats
Company because one company car
mot form a combination or conspiracy
said the judge.
Judge Mack held that no undue re-
sstrant Of trade had been shown Dis
senting from his colleagues, Judge
Alschuler said he believed the com
sbination brought together about 30 per
cent of the trade. He pointed out that
while only two Of the plants Of the
Great western were sold to the Quaker
Oats company. all their good will, trade
marks, trade secrets and business were
transferred to the Quaker company.
