President to Send Note to Allies Ask
trs W!ial Means Will Be Taken to
Carry Out New Policy Denies the
Right of Nations to Change Rules
of Warfare.
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

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.
