Acting Secre tary Folk announced today that he had made formal Inquiry of France and Great Britain as to why no reply had been received as to the last American note regarding interference with neutral mails and had asked for a ' response at the earliest possible moment. : ' , At th& time Mr. Polk had not heard that Ambassador Page had been handed a memorandum by the Brit ish foreign office answering specific complaints made in the American note. This memorandum will serve to allay the impatience of the state department only partially, however, as officials are most anxious to have a definite reply to the general pro test against the treatment accoraea mails between the United States and neutral countries of Europe. The understanding here is that the French foreign office has sent to London a draft of a note and that dispatch of the joint reply is being delayed there. .

The rioting was especially severe at Liege, Verviers, Roubaix, Renaix, St Nicholas, from Lokern and Ter monde. Rotterdam, July 21. The short age of food which resulted in the riots, according to the relief agencies, was due to the shortage of tonnage which is not likely to be corrected, as the German government definitely has refused to consent to the plan to use interned German ships, to bring relief food, and because of the em bargo which the German authorities have placed on the import into Bel gium and France of native Dutch food supplies Which, especially meat and i resources. the comDulsorv evacuation from the cities by the German authorities of large sections of the industrial popula tions.

The greatest forced migration took place from the city of . Lille, from which 25,000 people, Including women and children, were expelled.

Dr. C. W. Hickey of Uennington responded from the audi ence when a call was issued for a doc tor, and the man was carried in an automobile to the Methodist hospital, where lie was given attention. Hazen is an independent rider, In no way connected with the Irwin peo ple, but riding here for the big purse hung up for the winner. He had no immediate friends on the grounds, "Who's your closest friend here?" Dr. Hickey asked mm. "Well." replied the cowpuncher, gripping his injured knee in both hands, and speaking between clenched teeth, "Shorty will take care of my chaps and spurs. Anxious About Spurs. When it was observed that the pare of chaps and spurs was of more inter est to Hazen than getting to a hos pital, some of the men took matters in uicir uwn nanus biiu urucicu , ii to take him to the hospital. Hazen had three vertibrae cracked in s riding-contest in Wyoming last November. , - Alex Sidel had some ribs cracked in attempting to bull-dog a steer. The steer threw itself upon him, and he had to be helped from the field. Homer Wilson of Muskogee, Ok!., leaping from his speeding horse upon the horns of a fleeing steer, fell into a liopeless tangle with the big brindle animal, and when the steer shook it self free and fled Wilson did not rise. Charley Irwin galloped up with a cup of cold water, which he dashed into his face to 'bring his breath back. Besides losing his breath, Wilson had his face skinned and his legs so badly bruised that he had to be as sisted back to the starter's stand. Paul Hansen got rough treatment when his steer fell on him and rolled completely over him, directly in front, of the grand stand, .

The trick riders, Bill uonovan, Floyd Irwin, Harry Walters, Ray Kivett, Jim Kennedy, Scout Maish and Sam Garrett, have borrowed just one feat from the Cossacks and in that feat they excel the Cossacks. That is the feat of standing on their heads in the saddle at a gallop. But aside from this they perform feats on the backs of galloping horses that would make the Cossack seek home and mother.

Rome, July 20. (Via Paris., July 21.) A ministerial decree was issued today placing the persons and prop erty of Germans on the same footing of those of Austrians and Hungarians. The decree does not directly mention Germans,' but ' states that allies 1 of Austria are to be .treated as enemies and their subjects and goods are liable to sequestration. - - Prior to the war German property and, interests in Italy were estimated to be worth $250,000,000. Their value now is placed at about $150,000,000. There are only a few German sub jects in Italy now, and these will be either placed in concentration camps, or sent across the Swiss border. ; There has been a strong sa-itation in Italy for some time for the break ing off of all relations with Germany. The curious situation caused by Italy being at war with Austria, while nominally at peace with Germany was emphasized by an agreement between Kl:ne and Berlin, wherein all rights of the citizens of one country domi ciled in the other were to be respected. an J my o this agreement was de nounced on the ground that it was not being observed by Germany. At the great council of the entente powers, held in Paris last February, the Italian representatives were Pressed for an explanation as to why taly had not declared war on Ger many. On February 29, Italy re quisitioned thirty-four German ships which were interned in Italian ports. As a similar action by Portugal had promptly called forth an ultimatum from Berlin which was followed by a declaration of war, it was confidently expected that the same sequel would follow in regard to Italy. As far as is known, however, Wilhelmstrasse did not even make a protest- If war is now declared Italian troops may be sent to the western-front, according to the expectations expressed in Lon don and Paris.

The German sub marine mine layer which is one of the U-35. class, one of the latest prizes vt the British navy, was visited by an Associated Press representative today prior "to its being placed on public exhibition in the Thames. The prize, flying the German naval ensign, surmounted by. the British ensign, lay in a naval dock yard on the east coast. The vessel is designed purely for mine laying. The entire forward part is composed of wells, six in number, each containing two powerful mines, which can be re leased by levers. The ship has no torpedo tubes or other armament ex cept small arms for the crew and is only 100 feet long. Thirteen bluejackets and .five of ficers comprise the crew of the sub marine. According to one of the sea men - it made prior to its capture nineteen trips from its base in Ger many to the British coast and laid over 200 mines on routes frequented by merchant vessels. It "was on its twentieth trip when it was captured by the British patrol boat. The sail ors said that when the submarine was sighted and chased by a patrol boat the crew tried to get rid of its re maining mines, but had not sufficient time. Seeing that capture was inevi table, the officers ordered the aban donment of the ship, destroyed the log and other records and virtually demolished the six-cylinder Diesel en gine of approximately 250-horse power. All of the crew and officers were taken prisoner. - ' , The hull of the submarine is in good condition, but showed s num ber of dents where it struck obstacles in its underwater voyages. The craft shows signs of rapidity of construc tion, but appears well fitted for short trips across the North Sea. British naval officers pointed out that the mines carried no apparatus for ren dering them harmless if they broke loose from their moorings, as re quired by The Hague convention.
