send any instructions to Ambassa-
dor Jusserand in Washington re-
garding President Wilson's charge
of militarism against France, it
was said at the foreign Office this

the ambassador stated that on his
own initiative he called upon I'm
der Secretary of State Polk and
told him of the surprise and emo
ton caused in France by the pres
ident's letter.

sent to the New Jersey governor
telling him Of the attorney gem
erals decision and informing him

to receive withdrawal. The law
does fix time for withdrawal of
candidates for delegates to the ma
tional convention. which expired at

ALLIES KEEP
OUT GERMAN
CIVIL STRIFE

Paris. March 13.-The opinion
expressed in official circles at the
moment is that the allied govern
ments will take an attitude of
aloofness and detachment toward
the civil strife in Germany and per-
nit the German people themselves
to determine the form of their gov
ernment. The armed disorders in
Germany are looked upon as most
unfortunate, both for that country
and the remainder of Europe at the
time when reconstruction had been
begun.
