To Try Limit Special Session To Neutrality

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is (P)- President Roosevelt indicated that he strongly hopes to limit the legislation of the special ses sion of Congress to the revision of the neutrality act.
 Asked at his press conference, whether he planned to request for anti proiiteering legislation, he said he didn't expect to. He told reporters he also planned to make no request for a deficiency appropriation nor War-risk in surance legislation. He declared that no plans were even consider ed for the government, that could be remotely connected with the possibility of our getting into the war abroad.
 Answering questions he said he had given no thought to the appointment of a new minister to Canada, succeeding Daniel Rop- CT and had neither heard nor read the speech made by Senator Borah last night denouncing the administration proposals to re- peal the arms embargo provision of the neutrality act.
 Roosevelt confirmed the expect ations of Congress when it rec eived his message on neutrality for the opening session Thursday said it was not determined if the administration would be sat isfied if the entire neutrality law were repealed. The President said, getting down to the contents of the message, the answer would give away what he expect ed to say.

Berlin, Dec 18.-(AP)-The Off
cial news agency D. N. B., an
nounced today that the German
minister to Uruguay had protested
against the order which yesterday
expelled the Admiral Graf Spec
from her refuge as a "flagrant
breach Of international law"
The protest, d. N. B. said, was
made because Uruguay, under
fragrant breach of international law
and usage refused to grant the
damaged Warship a permit for the
stay, self-evident under the circum-
stances as needed for re-establish-
ing seaWorthiness."
The possibility that Germany
may claim damages form Uruguay
for the scuttled ship arose when
authorized sources explained the
basis of the German protest. They
cited Article II Of The Hague
agreement of 1907, and said Uru-
quay had contraVened international
law in granting only II hours for
repairs to the Warship. They ex-
pressed the belief that Uruguay
acted under British pressure.
Although not committing them
selves directly, these sources voiced
the opinion that if Uruguayan re-
sponsibility for the scuttlng of the
Admiral Graf Spec can be proved,
Germany can demand reparations
