ASK THE VOCAL 4GENT
Washington, April 6.—The United
States government has made public
its note to Great Britain announcing
that it "could not admit" either the
right of the allies or their claims for
Justification in placing an embargo
on all commercial Intercourse be-
tween Germany and neutral coun-
tries.
"To admit this right would be to
assume an attitude of unneutrality
toward the present enemies of Great
Britain which would be obviously in-
consistent with the obligation of
this government in the present con-
ditions and for Great Britain to
make such a claim would be for her
to abandon and set at naught the
principles for which she UaB consist-
ently and earnestly contended in oth-
er times and circumstances."
The note reviews at length the le-
gal phases of a blockade of belliger-
ent territory and virtual blockade of
neutral coasts. In conclusion the
United States states its expectation
that Great Britain after having con-
sidered "the possibllties of interrup-
tion of American trade" under the
order in council "will take the step
necessary to avoid them and in the
event that they should unhappily oc-
cur, will be prepared to make full
reparation for every act which under
the rules of international law consti-
tutes a violation of neutral rights."
The American communication in-
terprets the circumstances under
which Great Britain claims* to be
justified in adopting retaliatory
measures toward her enemies aB
"merely a reason for certain extra-
ordinary activities" by her naval
forces and "not an excuse for or a
prelude to any unlawful action".
"If the course of the present en-
emies of Great Britain," the note
adds, "should prove to be in fact
tainted by illegality and disregard of
the principles of war sanctioned by
enlightened nations it can not be
supposed and this government does
not for a moment suppose that his
majesty's government would wish
the same taint to attach to their own
actions."
Ambassador Sharp at Paris was
instructed to present a copy of the
American note to Great Britain to
the French foreign office.

Paris, April 6.—A vivid descrip-
tion of the capture by the French of
the summit of Hartmanns-Weiler-
kopf, a peak of the Vosges moun-
tains, a few miles north of Thanu, Is
given in an official communication
today from the war office.
The occupation of the height was
announced March 27. The final
phases of the struggle for this im-
portant strategic position are pic-
tured as follows:
"A small number of soldiers suc-
ceeded in reaching the summit early
in January and establishing a posi-
tion in a small fort, but were forced
to surrender on account ot starva-
tion.
"All the troops were now aroused
by a spirit of revenge. During the
remainder of January aqd February
siege operations were carried out,
and on March 6 an assault was
made. Our men captured the
strongest German blockhouses and a
portion of the first line of trenches.
Several vigorous counter attacks of
the enemy were repulsed.
"On March 23 our greatest effort
was made under cover of the tre-
mendous cross fire from our 'Black
Mouths' cannon. Trees could be
seen falling and alSo .'portions of
German bodies flying high in the air.
Our infantry made a heroic charge,
pouring like a living steam into the
two lines of trenches under a wall of
fire.
"The work of fortifying the con-
quered trenches was begun and the
German counter attack, although
violent, were not sufficient to drive
out our men.
"The night of March 25 artillery
and infantry were eager to begin the
find assault, which had been planned
and awaited for three months.
"Observers reported at least three
lines of German fortifications and re-
doubts between our position and the
summit. A general bombardment
was begun by our artillery at 10:30
o'clock, continuing until 2:30 and
sweeping everything before It.
Large pine trees were sawed olT,
disclosing concealed German batter-
ies and fortifications. The ground
was strewn with portions of the bod-
ies of dismembered soldiers.
"At 2:35 o'clock with a tremen-
dous rush our troops made a con-
certed effort, charging the enemy's
position and sweeping all before
them. They reached the summit
shortly after. On the highest point
despite the continuous rain of shot
and shell one of our infantrymen
waved the flag triumphantly, signall-
ing to the artillery that tile positon
was ours and now to direct the (ire to
the eastern slope. The Germans,
utterly put to rout, dropped their
arms in flight, we capturing what re-
mained of one company—80 men."
The note says during the attacks
of March 24 and 26 more than 400
prisoners were taken. The number
of French soldiers killed is not yet
known
"Our success was pushed over the
crest and our trenches were estab-
lished on the further slope, giving
us the whole German observatory,"
the French report says.
Many acts of individual bravery
are reported. Among these Is the
exploit of a soldier named Dumoulln
"who alone in a German trench en-
tered into a hand-to-hand combat
with a soldier who was maneuvering
a quick firer which had stopped our
attack. The quick firer was silenc-
ed. Our troops reached the trench,
capturing many occupants."

tive of very satisfactory achievement,
and that it is meeting the public ex-
