The Bane Resort.
The Bans committee investigated att
fair In the city and county of. Albany

WILSON REBUKES
KAISEIVS ElMY
President in Reply to Von Bern
storff, Says Note Could Be Taken
to Impugn U. S. Good, Faith.
ASSUMES IT NOT SO INTENDED
WASHINGTON, April 21. The
United States government replied to
day to the recent memorandum, In
which Count von Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, declared that
"if the American people desire to
observe true neutrality, they will
find means to stop the exclusive Im
portation of arms to one side, or at
least to use this export trade as a
means to uphold the legitimate trade
with Germany, and especially the
trade in. foodstuffs."
The American note, which la
signed by Secretary Bryan, was
drafted at the State department, but
was finally penned by President Wil
son himself,
Unimsr of Envoy.
After pointing put that the language
used by Count von Bernstorff Is "sus
ceptible of being construed us impugning
the good fait n of the I'nlted States In the
performance of Its duties as a noutral,"
the note "takes It for granted that no
such implication wti Intended," and sug
gests that evidently the German ambas
sador "Is laboring under certain false
Impressions."
It is then declared that while the rela
tions of the United States wsfh any one
of the belligerents "can not. wisely be
made a subject of discussion with a third
government." such correspondence be
tween the I'niled States and the allies as
has been published shows "the steadfast
refusal" of tho government "to ac
knowledge the right of any belligerent to
alter the accepted rules of wtti. at sea
insofar as they affect tho rights and In
terests of neutrals."
Attltnde Restated.
The attitude of the United Stales on the
question of the exportation of arms Is
restated, namely, that to place any em
bargo on arms d'Jrln? the progtss of a
war would be "o direct violation of the
neutrality of the United States." The
note refers to the spirit of friendship
which the people of the United States de
sires always to manifest toward Germany
an-1 Its poplc, and concludes with the
declaration that tha neutrality of the
United States "is founded upon the firm
basis of co' science and good will."
The communication . was delivered by
messenger to Count von Bernetorft late
today, and by mutual arrangement with
the German embassy, the State depart,
ment dade It public tonight.

SYRACUSE. N. Y., April 21.
Four chapters of Albany politics
were related by Theodore Roosevelt

by "Barnes republicans," assisted by
"Murphy democrats," of an. official
leader of the republican' party in New

Hughes; the defeat of the Hart-Ag-new

Mr. Barnes In which the latter told him
"the Idea of getting rid of bosses is

' The members of the "renero," or

brought the unsettled clauses of Its

further . procrastination 'on, the. part

that only the verbiage differs. The lega

that China shall agree to tha propaga

read "shall have the right to propagate
