The amount of the bond is $.',000, 000, of which nbout .fl2.000.000 are held on the Pacific const.

WASHINGTON, March 2. The United States will send n note to Orcnt Ilrltaln and France, In answer lo the ono received yostorday. In quiring what means will ho tnken In carrying out the policy of holding up supplies being carried to and from Cermnny. President Wilson told callers today that the Hrltlsh-French note outlined In very general terms n policy, but did not define the means of carrying It Into effect. No Itlglit to Change President WIlRon refused to dis cuss the subject In detail, but said that no nation has the right to change the rules of wnrfnre because the methods of wnr have changed. He Indicated thnt the United States will not change Its previously an nounced position; but will continue to make efforts to have the belliger ents respect American shipptag of a non-contrnbnnd character. A The president said It was .not clear in his own mind whether tho now action of the Hrltlslt and Frciteli gov ernments established a blockade ot Germany, although that would be the general effect of the order. He In dicated that oven though a real blockade were established, no ques tions affecting the neutrality of the United States would bo precipitated hy the continued voyages of Ameri can ships to Germany. The presi dent added, he had not hnd oppor tunity to thoroughly digest tho con tents of tho communication from Great Ilrltaln and Frnnco but the question was under serious considera tion. Nut Neutrality Violation The president made It clear, how ever that for American ship sto sail for Germany would Involve no vio lation of neutrality but merely the usual risk of the owner of vessel and cargo in legal proceedings. The minister from the Netherlands Inquired at tho stnto department what roply tho United States intended to make. Ho desired to send word to his government and the opinion was oxpresscd that Tho Netherlands along with other neutrals, would send rep resentations similar to those which this country might make. F LONDON, .March 2. The French and German official communications today agree that violent fighting is under way in tho Chnmpagiio region, where the allies began an attack sov ernl days ago, and that losses hnve been unusually heavy. Ilcrlin an nounces that now French attacks, lmulo with 6troug forces, wero re pelled in most cases, mid that the French losses wero enormous. Tlio Paris statement claims progress for tho allies at several points mid as sorts that the Germans suffered very heavily. Apparently tho battlo is the largest and most sovuroly contested of any along the western front since the engagement nt Soissons. Minor battles hnvo occurred in Iho Vosgos, and a report from the lkitish eomniander, Sir John French, say that ground has been gained by his army, but operations in general nlong tho lino aro unimportant except in Chnnipngne, In Russian Poland tlio fighting ap parently has become less inteii.su fol lowing tho German reverse nt Przasnysr, although the Ifussitins as sort that they are conducting a gen eral offensive movement.

TWO SPECIAL l' i VENIRE'SDRAWN I- MARTIN TRIAL Prospects Are for Third Venire le fore Jury Is Secured In Trial ef Game Warden's Slayer RlfM Questioning Results In Admittance of Opinions Excusing Talesmen. Two special venires ono Monday afternoon, tho other thhv- morning, liave been drawn to secure a Jury to hear the evidence and pass upon tho Innocence or guilt ot Lorls Sinrtln, ac. cased slayer of Game Warden A. H. Hubbard, near Trail las't Decombor. At noon today 12 men Rat In the Jury box, but of these it is predicted, but few will remain, after the rigid ex amination or both state and defense. The stato has three challenges loft the defense eight, and all the pronat or ies will bo used in the winnowing for a Jury. In the first venire six men were drawn, In tho second eight, and a third Is probable. 3Iust Prove Ignorance In the examining ot tho prospective Jurors, not a loophole thnt the law allows, or a question that keen legal minds can suggest is overlooked. Tallsnicn were asked by tMftrfefenso If newspaper articles gtvlnJpWMunts of the murder hnd influenoecftjtem, If they possessed any deep-rooted opin ions for or against tho game laws and their enforcement, and If they had attended the moving picture show benefit given for the widow ot the slain officer at Ashland last January. Tallsmen -were altonsKed itthey were members of any game or protective association, or friends of gamo war dens. They were also asked If they entertained any prejudice against a defendant because ho lived the free and open llfo of the mountains. No Tcchnlcnltics Invoked The stato asked Jurors If they held opinions formed by reading nows papers. If they were against tho strict enforcement of tho gnmo laws and If they were friends of either of the principals. Several of tho Jurors wero dismissed because they held fixed opinions relutlvo to the merits of the case. It Is expected that the Jury will be completed this afternoon and thnt the first witness will bo called when the court opens tomor row morning. Tho selection ot tho Jury has been free from any legal sparring, both sides adhering to strict policies, with out discussion ot technical points. The opening Instructions ot the Jury, If completed this afternoon will bo given in the morning. Tho Jury will he held under no restraint during tho trial. Much Interest Shown Martin, tho accused takes a re spectful, but no zealous Interest In tho proceedings thnt means freedom or a long prison term for him. Two months ot Jail lite has paled him. Ha was cheered Monday by tho greeting ot many old friends from the Trail district, who exchanged tho time of day with him. Ho was anxious to seo his mother and his sister. No case In the history ot Jackson county Is exciting bo much Interest, has boon so widely read, and dis cussed, or promises to ho no hard fought. 13 very vnntugo of Jurispru dence will bo used by bath sides, and when tho case Is under wny the- ar guments on tho admissibility of cer tain evldeuco will bo lengthy. The first day or tho trial found a court room packed with spectators, watch ing every niovo, and catching every word of tho dry routluo of selecting a Jury.
