PARIS, Jan. 19.-President Poincare
has received Edward Marshall, an
American newspaper writer. at the
Palace of the Elysee, and talked with
him in regard to President Wilson's
note and the reply of the entente allies.
The cruX of the interview appears in
these words of the president:
1--WE are compelled to coneinue the
war until we, our gallant allies and
ourselves, can obtain the reparations
and guarantees rendered indispensab BILE
by the aggressions of which we have
been the victims, by the sacrifices to
which we have subjected ourselves and
by the losses which we have suffered"

our friend, even though we are not

France are closely united by inefface-
able common recollections, by the same

walk, was left in charge of
four searchers in the Rosa

found last night at 10
O'Clock.
Two sandwiches and two
oranges each was all the
food the men had tasted

Moot questions of international law
are involved, however, in the conver-
sion Of a merchantmen into com

United States as well as Great Britain
has refused to recognize the legality
of such conversion. If American ships

or American cargo on other ships is

would press claims against Germany
for damages.
Germany however, together with the
other continental nations, has main

second Hague conference to reach an
agreement on the subject, but the
small navy nations refused to accept
the Anglo American contention.
The attitude of the South Ameri-

particular interest here, as it is
recognized that the raiders exploit
has stirred public opinion to a great
pitch.
