Appeals ycro lk.'li LONDON, April 21. DIspotches reaching London from tho French front show considerable military ac tivity, with the artillery taking a prominent part In the attacks made by one sldo or tho other. There Is llttlo evldenco, however, that cither sldo has gained, but whatever small advantago has been reaped seems to rest with tlio Germans between tho Mouse and the Lorraine frontier. Tho French have made a slight advance .it Fllrey, but their report suggests that tho gain was not proportionate to tlio errort put forth. Herlln claims several minor suc cesses, ono being he rccapturo of a small village In Lorraine, tho loss of which had not previously been ad mitted by tho general staff. Another attack In tho Pont-a-Mousson district npitear to have made an advance. The English newspapers today are devoting columns to comment on tho optimistic speech delivered at Now custlo last night by Premier Asqulth. Tho utterances of the prlitio minister aro In substance tho putting Into ef fect of a sort of Industrial conscrip tion by which employers shall fore go some of their profits, tho trado unions agree to suspend soma of their rules necessary In times of peaco and the tax payer shall contrlbuto an In demnity to factories In cases whero tho loss hits been caused by comman deering for tho government.

AT SEATTLE WITHDRAWN WASHINGTON, April 21,-UotH Secretary Bryan and tho German ambassador refused today to di-cus.-tho reported withdrawal of Wolf von Lohneysen, Gentian consul nt Seat tle, on representations from the United States tlmt he had sugge.-ted to n fonnery German re.-orvi.t, now enlisted in tlto United States unny, Hint ho return to the German arms.

Thirty-six divis ions would givo a total of f10,000 ""'Hi NO SACRIFICE OF ey Bryan Delivers Reply to Bornslorff Effectual Blockade by Britain Nec essarily Modifies Strength of Posi tion, But America Has Net Receded from Position. WASHINGTON, April 21. The reply of the United States to the re cent memorandum from Count Benw torff, Hie German ambassador, deal-i ing with exportation of arms to the allies will be delivered today to' this German embassy. Secrotnry Bryan made this announcement today, but would not discuss the details of the reply. Secretary Bryan declined to ttny whether tho reply accepted tho ambassador's memorandum as from the Gorman government, or as nn ex pression of Count Bemstorfi's per sonal views. The reply, however, gives it offieinl recognition, leaving the ipiestion of its authority between the ambassador and his government. A Friendly IHschmIob The reply is understood to be a friendly discussion of the oints rais ed by the ambassador, taking issuo with the statement that tho United States has accepted England's alleg ed violations of international law, anil calls attention to tho various notes presented by the state department tu London, asserting and defending thu rights of neutral governments. The effect of a declaration of a practical blockade by Greut Britain has necessarily modified the strength of the position assumed by the United States on these subjects, butnowhero the note points out, has there been any sacrifice of principle by tho state department in the negotiations with the allies. These, it is pointed out, still nro continuing, with the re sult Hint nlmo.it daily tho rigors of the British order in council are being abated. Real Ilrcuch of Neutrality Itegnrding the ambassador's pro tent against the sale of arms und munitions to tho allies, it is under stood that the reply declares that any attempt nt this stage of the war to prohibit the sale of anus and ammu nition to nuy applicant would ,ousti tute a renl breach of neutrality. Tho note is snid to hold that it is Germany's misfortune if she is un able to convey anus to her homo ports, while the market is open to her, and finally that there is no possible application in tho present conditions of tho peculiar legislation nml rules made in the case of Mexico.
