Secretary Lansing Expresses Deter
mination on Part of President and
Himself to Do All in Their Power
to Secure Righto Granted Under
Treaties and Law of Nations.
Pressure of a formal and organized
character is being exerted on the
United States government to secure
from Great Britain a modification of
the-embargo on all commercial Inter
course between Germany and neu
tral countries.
Twenty members of a committee
appointed by more than one hundred
American importers have laid before
Secretary Lansing and other state de
partment officials a petition request
ing that their shipping be looked
after.
In a statement issued by the im
porters after their conference it was
revealed that Secretary Lansing had
“expressed a determination on the
part of both the president and him
self to do all in their power to aid the
importers in securing the righto to
which they are entitled under the
laws of nations and by treaty obliga
tions."
The effect of the conference will
not be apparent for several days
Secretary Lansing took the fact pre
sented by the importers under con
sideration and will communicate with
President Wilson.
It has been announced that the
state department for many weeks has
already been preparing further rep
resentations to Great Britain asking
for a modification of the so-called
blockade. The president, however,
has been unwilling to complicate the
situation with the delicate negotia
tions with Germany in progress
There has been an inaistence in
many quarters that the note should
be sent to Gr^at Britain simultane
ously with the German negotiations
to emphasize the determination of
the United States to defend neutral
rights, whether violated by Great
Britain or Germany
Mr. Wilson has told friends that
he has been on both sides of the
question of sending a note to Great
Britain at this time, but it is known
that he finally decided to wait for
Germany’s answer concerning subma
rine warfare.
It la thought certain In diplomatic
quarters in Washington that Ger
man will in her next note take ad
vantage of the invitation of the Unit
ed States to submit suggestions for
a modus vivendi to the allies where
by submarine warfare might be aban
doned If the so-called blockade of
commerce through neutral countries
were dropped and restrictions remov
ed on the shipment of foodstuffs.
Before a note is sent, however,
covering all the phases of the order
in council. It Is considered possible
that the statement of the American
importers will be transmitted to Am
bassador Page for presentation to the
British foreign office in order that
Great Britain may appreciate the
growing unrest of American mer
chants.
A copy of the petition taken to
Washington Saturday by a delegation
of importers from New York declares
that the British blockade measures
concern "not only the property rights
of the undersigned citizens.” but in
volve a ‘Contemplated unlawful de
struction of a most Important por
tion of the entire commerce of the
United States,”
The petition addressed to Presi
dent Wilson discusses at length is
sues of international law involved
and urges on the preiiden^“the need
for a very early determination of
these issues so that we may know
whether we will be able to conduct
our established business."
Great Britain, the petition says,
l\as studiously avoided" answering
the American note of March 30, in
which the position of the Washington
government in regard to the blockade
measures was set forth and "nearly
three months of valuable time, In
which it was necessary for us to pre
pare f^r our coming business, have
passed
Notwithstanding that this decla
ration of the Brltinh government
does not * follow from any declared
and maintained blockade of German
territory,” the petition says, “we
have been unable to induce any
steamship companies to carry our
goods, American property, either
from unblockaded German ports or
from neutral ports to which the
goods have been -shipped by means
of internal land communication. The
mere fact that Great Britain does not
threaten confiscation of our goods if
they are shipped does not concern us,
because, flrst, w*e can not get them
and shall be fined not exceeding three shipped, and second, because we are
thousand dollars and Imprisoned not- Interested In the much greater ques
more than thrde years.” “ -----
Officials at the department of jus
tice refused to say under which stat
utes Gen. Huerta and Gen. Orozco
had been held, but said this would
be developed if formal arrests weie
made, a contingency depending upon
the Information contained In the ex
pected reports from the agents of the
department of justice. \ •
While the department will keep a
close watch on' the gase, officials
made it clear that It was now entirely
Iff the hands of United* States Attor
ney Camp. Upon him rests the re
sponsibility of keeping the Mexicans
under surveillance while they are at

Trade Without Conflict.
The British foreign office deliver
ed Tuesday to Ambassador Page for
transmission from London to Wash
ington a memorandum explanatory
of efforts being made by the British
government to mitigate the hardships
suffered by neutral traders on ac
count of the order in council and
other war measures affecting their
interests.
The memorandum, although not a
reply to the American contraband
notes, gives a summary of the meas
ures adopted by' Great Britain with
the purpose of enforcing, with as lit
tle friction as possible, her policy of
shutting off Germany from the rest
of the world. The foreign office sets
forth methods whereby neutrals may
trade without coming into conflict
with these regulations.
The memorandum of the British
foreign office summarizing measures
adopted to alleviate difficulties to
neutral traders under the order in
council will not. It. is understood in
Washington, affect the sending of the
note to Great Britain now in pre
paration. This communication is to
reiterate the American protest
against the Illegality of the princi
ples of the order in council.
While the measures which are un
derstood to be outlined in the Brit
ish memorandum are aimed to cor
rect troubles experienced by Ameri
cans in their trade with neutral
countries, the United States insisted
in the note of March 30—its last
communication on the subject—that
England has no right under Interna
tional law to stop non-contraband
goods of American ownership pass
ing to and from Germany through
neutral countries, a blockade being
held as effective only against a bel
ligerent coast itself. , „ /

March 1 is of no avail to Us. The
undersigned are responsible Ameri
can houses enjoying a good credit,
who in general do not have to pay
for their merchandise before it is de
levered.” ^ •
Adding that the British require
ment that shipment must be effected
prior to June 15 was likewise of no
valued because “ a great bulk of oar
orders was not ready for shipment by
‘June 15.” the petition asserts that
the British order Is an “andtaalous
principle of International law which
can not affect the rights of citlsens
of a great neutral power.”
“With all deference to your Excel
lency," the document continues,
"who we know has at heart the pro-
ectlon of American commerce, we re
spectfully call attention to the ur
gency of the situation and the press
ing necessity of our knowing very
soon whether we will be able to con
duct our lawful business under the
protection of well established princi
ples of law upon which we have al

state department In its diplomatic
correspondence with Great Britain.
“We maintain that since a Swedish
we also, as citizens of this country,
merchant can ship to a German port,
have the same right, and that these
facts convincingly prove that there
Is no effective blockade of nearly the
entire German coast."
The Importers appeal to the presi
dent not only on the ground that
their own business would be injured,
but on grounds that “the only pros
pect for peace Is un inslstance of
those unquestioned guarantees which
have been won from the belligerents
powers under the leadership of these
free United States of America.’'
“We are proud as citizens of this

Diplomatists, Says House, If Left
Alone Would Not Find Agreement
BetJeen Them Very Difficult.
President Wilson does not see any
prospect for an earlr peace In Eu
rope. Col. E. M« Houue, hlj unofficial
envoy to Europe, has given the presi
dent the results of his sojourn of sev
eral months In European . capitals,
where he talked Intimately with the
responsible officials of the German,
British and r rench governments, and
the information he imparted in the
long walks and talks which they en
joyed reflected definitely the Ideas
held by both diplomatists and the
military element in each of the coun
tries at war,
Col. House also disclosed the cur
rents of public opinion In each coun
try as to peace terms. The president
has been guided largely by what Col.
House has reported to him by cable
and letters in handling the delicate
question of renewing the efforto of
the United States to bring about a
general acceptance of mediation. No
new tenders of godd offices have been
made to any of the warring powers.
One fundamental thing the presi
dent has learned is the anprepared-
ness of public opinion tfl some of the
belligerent countries as to term*
which they fear their adversaries
might advance, or that already are
disemsed. Col. House observed that
public opinion In some countries In
sisted on terms which the govern
ments of those countries already had
learned In various ways would not be
acceptable to their opponents.
In all countries, Col. House found
there had developed among the mass
es s desire for a settlement that
would commensurate with aacriflcee
made by the people. If left to the
diplomatists In Europe alone, a re
turn to the territorial status quo per
haps would not be difficult, some of
ther information Indicated.
In Germany, It seems, according
to Information given the president,
the object of a large and Influential
party ' as to prepare public opinion
for s realization of tha idea that Ger
many's best interests lie in colonial
expansion and the Incidental develop
ment of overseas commerce, rather
then In territorial extension In Eu
rope proper.
The question, however, which OtL
House thinks likely will play a

principle that the property of all

This point was discussed at the
flrst and second Hague conferences
and at the London naval conferenc.
which brought forth the so-called
“Declaration of London, ’ but no gen
eral ratlflcktion or agreement was
obtained. The American delegations
to the flrst and second Hague con
ferences were Instructed to vote for
the adoption of this principle.
Col. House is known to be a sup
porter of the “freedom of the seas’
principle and in his discussion of the
subject while abroad there Is soma
reason to believe that he had the
sanction of the president. Col. House
found among the allies a widely
varying opinion. Neither the presi
dent nor Col. House would make a
formal statement off^heir conference.
President Wilson is considered by
Col. House as the man most likely
to restore peace to the world. As
the president was playing golf at the
Piping Rock club on Long Island
Col. House, who was sitting on the
porch of the club house, turned to a
friend and pointed to the president,
saying, “there waa the m»n likely
to bring about peace."
Col: House told friends that the
president knew far more about the
European situation than he did and
was handling the problems growing
out of the war in a highly intelligent
manner and as well as any man could
handle them. He is understood to
have said the president displayed re
markable knowledge of the European
situation during their long talk.

Sixteen Hundred Prisoners Threaten
Death to Convict Accused of
Burning Warden's Wife.
Fearing a repetition of the demon
stration by sixteen hundred convicts
against Joe Campbell and Walter Ed
wards, negro convict* suspected of
slaying the wife of Edmund Allen,
warden of the state penitentiary at
Joliet, 111., prison officials saw that
each convict was locked in his cell
Monday night and special precautions
were taken to prevent any outbreak.
Even the trusties were locked up for
the first time in the history of the
prison.
In spite of the watchfulness of the
day guards thirteen hundred convicts
rose in the main dining hall at mid
day dinner and shouted threats
against Campbell, then the only sus
pect. One hundred guards rushed to
the convicts and with clubs quieted
