Ton of Reply Taken to Mean That President Would Veto Restrictions By Congrett Lansing Cites Actions. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington. Following la the full text of the American reply to the Aus-tro-Hungarlan note regarding exporta tion of arms and ammunition from the United States to the allies: "The Secretary of State to Ambassa dor Penfleld, Department of State, Washington. August 12, 1915. "Please present a note to the Royal Foreign Office in reply to Its note of June 29, In the following sense: "The Government of the United States has given careful consideration to the statement of the Imperial and Royal Government In regard to the exportation of arms and ammunition from the United States to the coun tries at war wlHAustria-Hungary and Germany. The Government of the United States notes with satisfaction the recognition by the Imperial and Royal Government of the undoubted tact that Its attitude with regard to the exportation of arms and ammuni tion from the United States Is prompt- d by Its Intention to 'maintain the mM '4MBHrtetTOT UeUTra'lity and to conform 'to . the letter of the provisions of interna' -, lional treaties, but .is surprised to find . -the Imperial and Royal Government . ' implying that the observance of the ' i ii strict principles of the law under the - conditions which have developed in the present war is insufficient and as' sorting that this Government should jo beyond the long-recognized rules governing such traffic by neutrals and adopt pleasure to 'maintain an attitude of strict parity with respect to both belligerent parties.' "To this assertion of an obligation to change or modify the rules of Inter national usage on account of special conditions the Government of the Unl V ted States can not accede. The recog - nltion of an obligation of this sort, un known to the International practice of the past, would Impose upon every neutral nation a duty to sit In judg ment on the progress of a war and to restrict Us commercial Intercourse with a belligerent whose naval suc cesses A prevented the neutral from trade with the enemy. "The contention of the Imperial and Royal Government appears to bo that the advantages gained to a belligerent by Its superiority on the sea should be equalized by tbe neutral powers by the establishment of a system of non- Intercourse with the victor. The Im perial and Royal Government confines its comments to arms and aminunl- tlon, but, if the principle for which it contends is sound, It should apply with equal force to all articles of contra' band. "A belligerent controlling the high seas might possess an ample supply of arms and ammunition, but be in want of food and clothing. On the a novel principle that equalization is a neutral duty, neutral nations would be obligated to place an embargo on such articles because one of the belligerents could not obtain them through com merclal Intercourse, during that period did either of tiiem suggest or apply the principle uow advocated by the Imperial and Royal Government. "During, the Boer war between Great Britain and the South African republics, the patrol of the coasts of neighboring neutral colonies by Brit ish naval vessels prevented arms and ammunition from reaching the Trans vaal or Xhe Orange Free State. The allied republics were in a situation almost identical in that respect .with that In which Austria-Hungary and Germany find themselves at the pres ent time. Yet, in spite of the com mercial Isolation of one belligerent, Germany sold to Great Britain and the other belligerent hundreds of thousands of kilos of explosives, gun powder, cartridges shot and weapons; and It is known that Austria-Hungary also sold similar munitions to the same purchaser, though in small quan tities. "While, as compared with the pres ent war, the quantities sold were small, the principle of neutrality In volved was the same. If at that time Austria-Hungary and her present ally had refused to sell arms and ammuni tion to Great Britain on the ground that to do so would violate the spirit of strict neutrality, the Imperial and Royal Government might with great er consistency and greater force urge its present contention. "It might be further pointed out that during the Crimean war large quantities of arms and military stores were furnished to Russia by Prussian manufacturers; that during the re cent war between Turkey and Italy, as this Government Is advised, arms and ammunition were furnished to the Ottoman Government by Germany; and that during the Balkan wars the belligerents were supplied with mu nitions by both Austria-Hungary and Germany. "While these latter cases are not analogous, as In the case of the South African war, to the situation of Austria-Hungary and Germany In the present war1, they nevertheless clear ly Indicate the long-established prac tice of the two empires in the matter of trade in war supplies. "In view of the foregoing state ments, this Government Is reluctaut to believe that the Imperial and Royal Government will ascribe to the United States a lack of Impartial neutrality in continuing its legitimate trade In all kinds of supplies used to render the armed forces of a belligerent effi cient, even though the circumstances of the present war prevent AuBtrla Hungary from obtaining such supplies from the markets of the United States, which have been and remain, so far as the action and policy of this Gov ernment are concerned, open to all belligerents alike. "But, In addition to the question of principle, there Is a practical and sub stantlal reason why the Government of tho United States has, from the foundation of the republic to the pres ent time, advocated and practiced un restricted trade In arms nnd military supplies. It has never been the pol icy of this country to nfUlntain lit time In peace a large military estab lishment or store's of arms and am munition sufficient to repel invasion by a well-equipped and powerful en emy. It has desired to remain at peace with all nations and to avoid any appearance of menacing such peace by the threat of its armies and navy. In consequence of this stand ing policy the United States would, In the event of attack by a foreign power, be at the outset of the. war se riously, If not fatally, embarrassed by tho lack of arms and ammunition and by the luck of means to produce them In sufficient quantities to supply the requirements of national defense. The United States has always depend ed upon the right and power to pur chase arms and ammunition from neu tral nations In cane of forelgu attack. This right, which It claims for Itself, it can not deny to others. "A nation whose principle and pol icy Ib to rely upon International mar kets and Internutloim; justice to pre serve its political and territorial In tegrity might become tho prey of an aggressive nation whose policy and practice It is to Increase Its military strength during times of pence with the dpslgn of conquest, unless the na tion attacked can after war had been declared, go Into the markets of the Vorld and purchase tho means to de fend itself against the aggressor. "The general adoption by the na- tin... Y. ...n..!. I n H, thnni...

Applying this theory of eqtiu'll tatlon, a belligerent who lacks the Dec enary munitions to contend sticccaH ffilly on land, ought to be permitted to' purchase them from neutrals whiilo a belligerent with an abundance of .war stores or with the Viwor to proi them should be demurred from ' 11 fflc- M l ,v'y the fd elurred from ; fileu of strll !d by the 1 advuiictM Government would walon in IHIIH8' of )i nuiuu I 1 Vrnutloit "u the Igatlrr and jmergency which might arise nnd to erect and maintain establishments for the manufacture of arms unci ammu nition sufficient to supply the needs of Its military and naval - forces throughout the progress of a war. ."Manifestly the application of this theory would result in every nutlon becoming an hi mod camp, ready to ro- Blut aggression und tempted to employ forces in nHsertlng it h rights rather than appeal to reason und Justice for the settlement of International dls- 1 VPS ' !V"K, as It docs, that tho udop tthe principle that It is the duty i'litnil to prohibit the sale of 4ml ummunltlou to a belligerent ; the progress of u war would In ,.,bly give advantage to the bulllgj ' which had encouraged Ulttjnuuii. uro of munitions and jf 'hiehHiud j Id In v.i!'-toro of nrnj and nniinu Hop ' lpiitlon of war, the Gov 1i lliilt)(j states Is con a'loJlou of the theory i "'"sin oil tho world ' l W.ut universal pence 'a and purpose of all alt justlco nnd right eousness in their relations with one another. "The Government of the umtea States In the foregoing discussion of the practical reason why It has advo cated and practiced trade in munitions of war, wishes to be understood as speaking with no thought of express ing or implying any Judgment with re gard to the circumstances of the pres ent war, but as mereiy puuing veij frankly the argument in tnis matter which has been conclusive in deter mining the policy of the United States. While the practice, or nations, so well Illustrated by the practice of Aus-tro-Hungary and Germany during the South African war, and the manifest evil which the suggestions of the Im perial and Royal Government out of the question, certain assertions as ap pearing in the Austro-Hungarian state ments as grounds for Its contentions can not be passed over without com ment. These assertions are substan tially as follows: 1. That the exportation of arms and ammunition from the United States to belligerents contravenes the preamble of The Hague Conventon No. 13 of 1907. 2. That it is inconsistent with the refusal of this government to allow delivery of supplies to vessels of war on the high seas. 3. That, 'ac cording to all authorities on interna tional law who concern themselves more properly with the question, ex portation should be prevnted 'when this traffic assumes such a form or such dimensions that the neutrality of a nutlon becomes involved thereby. "As to the assertion that the ex portation of arms and ammunition contravenes the preamble of The Hague Convention No. 13 of 1907, this Government presumes that reference is made to the last paragraph of the preamble, which Is as follows: 'See ing that, In this category of Ideas, these rules should not, in principle, be altered, in the course of the war, by a neutral power, except In a case where experience has shown the necessity of a neutral power to do so in order to- protect its own rights. The right and duty to determine when this necessity exists rests with the neu tral, not with a belligerent. It is dis cretionary, not mandatory. "If a neutral power does not avail itself of the right, a belligerent Is not privileged to complain, for in doing so it would be In the position of declar ing to the neutral power what is neces sary to protect that power's own rights. The Imperial and Royal Gov ernments can ..not but- perceive that a complaint of this nature would In vite Just rebuke. "With reference to the asserted in consistency of the course adopted ty the Government In relation to the ex portation of arms and ammunition and that followed in not allowing supplies to be taken from Its ports to ships of war on the high seas, it Is only neces sary to point out that the prohibition of supplies to ships of war rests upon the principle that a neutral power must not permit Its territory to be come a naval base for either bel-llgerent. "A warship may, under certain re strictions, obtain fuel and supplies in a' neutral port once in three months. To permit merchant vessels acting as tenders to carry supplies more often than three months and in unlimited amount would defeat the purpose of the rule and might constitute the neu tral territory a naval base. "Furthermore, this Government is unaware that any Austro-Hungarian ship of war has sought to obtain sup plies from a port in the United States, either directly or indirectly. This subject has, however, already been discussed with the Imperial German Government, to which the position of this Government was fully set forth December 24, 1914. "In view of the positive assertion in the statement of the Imperial and Royal Government as to tho unanimity of the opinions of text writers as to the exportation of contraband being unneutral, this Government has caused careful - examination of the principle authorities on international law to be made. As a result of this examina tion it has come to the conclusion that the Imperial and Royal Government has been misled and has inadvertently made an erronooua assertion. Less than one-fifth of the authorities con sulted advocate unreservedly the pro hibition of the export of contraband. Several of those who constitute this minority admit that the practice of nnttnns has been otherwise. "It may not be inopportuno to direct particular attention to the declaration of tho" German authority, Paul Einlcke, who states that, at the beginning of a war, belligerents have never remon strated against tho enactment of pro hibitions on trade In contraband, but udds: "'That such prohibitions may be considered as violations of neutrality or at least tis unfriendly acts, If they ore enacted during a war with the purpose to close unexpectedly the sources of supply to a party which heretofore had relied on them.'

The second phase Qf the campaign on the eastern front Is drawing rapidly to a, close the Russian center giving ground with little resistance In its retreat to the Kovno-Brest Lltovsk line. Attacking the Russian' wings are Von Hlndenburg and Mackensen, the two greatest generals Germany has produced in the world war. Kovno is being subjected to terrific assault, un dor the eye of Von Hlndenburg, and there is not the slightest doubt here that the fortress must soon succumb. Mackensen Is pressing slowly north ward upon Brest Lltovsk, dealing heavy blows at the Russian left flank. See End in a Few Weeks. Military critics here believe the op erations against Russia will be en tirely completed within a few weeks. They do not expect" to see any march on Petrograd, despite thri fear of a drive on the Russian capital felt In the allies' capitals. j" The general opinion here Is that Russia already has been dealt a blow; j from which she can scarcely recover i before the allies are forced Into peace negotiations. The popular demand is that Germany shall wheel her armies Into a new campaign on another front. The Von Hindenburg-Mackensen movement will not be halted until Kovno is pounded to pieces and all the fortresses of the Kovno-BVeBt Lltovsk line have fallen before the German attack. Final Phase of Attack. Military "men here believe those vic tories constitute the final phase of the stupendous Austro-Cerman cam paign in the East. With Brest Litovsk and the Kovno fortress line held by German troops, no serious offensive on tbe part of Russia is anticipated for the remain der of tha war. The fall of Warsaw left to the Slavs only Brest Litovsk as a base for the operations of her Held armies. Should Brest Litovsk be surrendered to the Austro-Germans, the grand duke's armies will be scattered forces operating from separato bases and un able to concentrate effectively in any great offensive campaign.

Out of the $4,000,000 ap propriated for the organized militia o( tho United States for the current year, Kentucky will receive $69,810.90, ubout $5,000 less than Its allowance for the previous year. According to the state ment made here by an official of the war department, the total strength of the Kentucky militia is 1,813 enlisted men. The total allotment to Ken tucky is distributed as follows: Arms, equipments and camp purposes, $34, 992.16; promotion of rifle practice, $11,664.05; ammunition for small arms, J9.218.04, and supplies, $23,154.75.

Kentucky's amount is apportioned ac cording to congressional representa tion. The $23,154.75 of the $2,000,000 federal appropriation set aside for purchasing supplies and ammunition thnt may be expended by Kentucky Is determined by the actual strength of the stale militia as compared to the Btrength of the militia of other states.
