approved an act reciting that since treaties repeatedly had been vlolat' ed by France, Just claims for rep. aration refused and q system Of predatory violence" had been pur- sued by the French government, the United States were "of right freed and exonerated from tho stipu. lation of the treaties" and that these compacts should not hence. forth be regarded as, legally obli' gatory on the government or citi' Zens of the United States.
 Later in the same year further provision was made for augumenting the army, and George Washington accepted the chief command.
 The >Attorney-General held that the acts of France and the legisla. ton by Congress gave him the op. inion that there not only existed "an actual maritime war between France and the United States, but a maritime war authorized by both nations"
 The difficulty with France was not settled for many years. Thirty years later France agreed to pay 25,OOO,00O francs to satisfy American claims, although many years before that time her depredations on the commerce Of America and Ameri' can reprisals ceased.
 The acts of Congress in 179S were in the aggregate somewhat like the bill introduced in the Senate Sat urday by Senator Fall. The Presi' dent then was authorized to in' struCt and direct commanders of the United States war vessels to seize and bring into any port of the Unit. cd States any armed vessel found lowering on the coasts of the Unit ed States and committing depreda' tions on American ships. They also were instructed to retake any captur' ed American ship. Another act au' thorized merchant ships to be arm ed and to takeN the same steps against foreign vessels. Communi cation with France was forbidden and French vessels were prohibited from entering the ports of the Unit ed States.

WASHINGTON. March S.-Armcd neutrality Is described by authori. :ieS on international law as military measures for the purpose of defend. ing rights of neutrals against threat ening mlringements on the part o' .a belligerent. It generally has c0u. cerned more than one power. ana the most striking historical instance of armed neutralitic5 were those Oi the Northern European powers ir l7SO and 1900, made 10 defend the principle of free ships and free goods, adopted by treaty between the Bal tic powers and opposed by England. If the commercial interests of several nations" says one authority, are threatened by unjust CT unlaw- iul measures on the part of bel. ligercnt, which they deem unjust or dangerous, there can be no question of their right 10 secure their menaced interests by such combinations as seem best calculated 10 accomplish that purpose.
 An armed neutrality is in fact an alliance Of several powers, usu. ally of a defensive character, though YthiS is by no means essential"
 During the present war Holland and Switzerland have maintained what amounts to an armed neutrality, although 1t has been confined to land.
 When war broke out between France and Spain and France and Great Britain, neutrals became alarm. ed at the danger with which the maritime rights were threatened and the Empress of Russia undertook to unite them in defense of their neutral rights This formed the basis of treaties between Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Austria and Portu. gal. They formed a league which, under the. name of armed neutrality, undertook to preserve inviolate the maritime rights of neutrals. These declarations were recognized by the treaty of peace between Great Bri- tain and France and were the es- tablished law of nations when the United States, is 17S3, was recogniz. ed as independent by the powers of the world.
 The last time the United States was in state of armed neutrality was during the war between France and England, which ended with the downfall of Napoleon. = After many acts against Ameri- can commerce bound for England, France on January IS, 1879, decreed that every vessel found at sea load ed with merchandise produced in England or her possessions could be made a prize.
 Many American vessels were sei2- ed, and in June, 179S, President Ad. ans began to obtain from Congress broad authority to protect American commerce and to put the United States in a better position to make war if it became necessary.
 In rapid succession laws were made to increase the naval arma. ment, to authorize a provisional ar. my, to arrest and expel aliens, to authorize the defense of merchant ships against French war vessels and to enable the President to bOr- row money.
 On July T. 179S, President Adams

Zimmerman Plot Note Was Seized At the
Mexican Border.
Minneapolis, March How the fam
Gus German pilot note from thinner
to Carranza, via Bernstorff, was in
tercepted by guardsmen doing patrol duty
on the Mexican border, was n of the
stories brought from the censorship zone
in Texas yesterday by members of the
returning First Minnesota regiment.
When III first expose of the Teuton
Vaccinations to embroil the United
States in trouble with Mexico and Japan
was made in Washington, the intimation
went forth that United Staes secret
service agents had disclosed the cabal,
but stories which arrived in Minneapo-
lis yesterday gave credit to some In
diana guardsmen On patrol duty near
Progreso.
An officer of the First Minnesota, when
asked to confirm the story, referred all
inquiries to Coloner Erie D.. Luce. Col
onel Luce said he didn't know anything
o 1T, but you might ask some of
the other officers" Inasmuch as the
military censors have not let anything
pass the lines about the. case, none of
the First Minnesota officers cared to
have his name connected with it.
