ASKED TO REVIEW CASES
AGAINST BRITISH SUBJECTS
Convicted Men Want Supreme Court
to Pass on New and Disputed
q. S. Neutrality Questions.

The Supreme Court of the United States
has been asked, in order to decide new
and disputed questions Of American neu-
trality squarely upon their merits, to re-
view cases of R. K. Blair and Dr. Thomas
Adds, British subjects. convicted at San
Francisco of conspiracy to recruit Eng
lishmen in this country for service
in the British army.
Their petition for the review states that
the California federal circuit court de-
clined to decide the merits of the ques-
tons raised and that the British embassy
and Department of Justice both are de-
sirous of final judicial determination as
to whether the acts of the defendants
constitute violation of American penal
statutes and neutrality.
Blair and Dr. Adds, with funds of the
British government and through the
British Friendly Association" physically
examined and furnished transportation to
about 125 British subjects who desired
to return to England.
