CALLED UNNEUTRAL Mads Theme For Criticism Of Amerl' cans With Entente Armies. Chancellor Discourages Psace Talk. Berlin, via London. Immediately on the heels of the uttorances of the 1m perlal Chancellor In the Reichstag con cerning the submarine campaign the afternoon newspapers generally print strong criticisms of the neutrality of the United States, based on the news of the death of the American aviator, K Iff en Rockwell, and the piesence ol other American aviators on the west ern front They connect this evidence of Amerl can sympathy for the Entente Allies, and the supplying of war materials by firms In the United States as an Indi cation of the futility of concessions to the American standpoint with regard to submarines. They declare that these facts show how American re spect for neutrality Is vanishing and how America Is misusing the present form of submarine warfare to cover the active participation of American cltlsens la the war on the side of the Entente Allies. The Lokal Anzelger, under the head. lng "American Neutrality," print the following: "With a naivete which must appear astonishing, even In a war which over, turns ordinary conceptions of Interna tional law and neutrality, the Paris Matin announces that Aviator Rock well, one of the bent-known American airmen, has fallen in an air battle. The Matin does not attempt to dispute the fact, long known to us, that at Verdun an aero troop under the name of the American Aviation Sqiadron partici pated in the fighting. Conciliation Misused, Says Paper. "We all know that, impelled by love of peace and chary of human sacri fices, we made concessions to America, and now see wit'a astonishment that the concessions have resulted only in the further supply of the Entente with ammunition and guns. We now see further how our conciliatory altitude directly has been misused on the American side, and Americans can, therefore, reach the enemy and fill im portant positions. "We are acquainted naturally with the love of adventure In the American blood, and we do not coudenin it. We also would havo no occasion whatever to pay attention to the eierclse of this ru.s-ion, if we had not believed that the concessions to tho United Statee would be sullicieut for honorable men to bridle the strongest Inclinations to ignore the most natural obligations or Eoutrality. "We still believe It will be possible for the American Government to Uke measures that the concessions made to it shall not undetgo usages to which under no circumstances we can sub mit on the part of American citizens. Such actions can only be regarded as an evasion of our agreement with the union." Would Uc Every Means. The Cerman Chancellor did pot di rectly discuss the submarine Issue In his speseh to the Reichstag, th only reference made to It being the declara tion that "a German statesman who would hesitate to uie against his enemy every available Instrument of battle that would shorten this war such a statesman should be banged." He also expressed his contempt for those who were circulating reports that all Germany's means of fighting were not being employed to the fuller t possible extent He added that In or der to disappoint the enemy, "who Is on the watch for every breach of our Loner determinations," be would not give details. Germany will persevere until victory la hers, the Reichstag was told by the Chancellor, according to the full text of his speech. The Chancellor de clared that this year's harvest had made Germany's position much more secure than was th case lat year. In his attack upon Great Britain he declared that that country was break ing one international law after an other and was above all Germany's "most egotistical, fiercest and icon obstinate enemy." Predicts Lines Will Hold. The Allies cannot break through the German lines on the Somme, Chan cellor von BethmannHollweg told the Reichstag, making a similar statement In regard to the eastern front. "The English and French, it is true," he taid, "have achlevod advantages. Our first llne3 have been pressed bark some kilometres and we have also to deplore heavy losses In men and ma terial. That was Inevitable In an of fensive on such a mighty scale. But what our enemies hoped to accomplish, namely, break through on a grand scale and roll up our positions, has not luen attained. The battle of the Pomme will cost further sacrifices. Still anothor trench and another village may b lost, but they will sot get through. " INTERNED SHIPS SAIL. U. 6.

INSISTS ON ENTRY RIGHTS Teklo Stick Te Position That Restrlc tien On Immigration and Land Holding Violate International Law. Washington. Japan' purpose to re new after th European war her con tention for the right of ber people to emigrate to and own laud In the United States, suggested In New York by Baron Yoshlro Sakatanl, former Fi nance Minister In the Toklo Cabinet, was frankly admitted at tb Japanese Embassy. Negotiations over there questions, w'hlch came to a deadlock two years ago, are not regarded by Japan as concluded, It was explained, but merely postponed while tb larger Issues of the war are being dealt with. The deadlock followed a long series of conferences between former Secre tary Bryan and Baron Chlnda, then the Japanese Ambassador, and an ex change of notes between the two gov ernments over the alien land legisla tion enacted by California. After the State IH'partment had pointed out that under It constitution the United States Government could do no more than seek to prevent such legislation and that persons affected by It had recourse to the Federal Courts, Japan closed the exchanges with a note say ing her complaint had not been an swered and reserving "for the present further discussion of the issue." It baa been generally assumed that the Ismiq would remain lo abeyance only while Japan was occupied with the war, but until now no one in a position to ppeak with authority has said so.

It is explained, are regarded as Japan's third and final step In her rise to state hood, the first two being the abolition of extra territoriality and the negotia tion of commercial equality treaties.

"I am convinced that the tours Just completed have been of great service to the farmers of the State," Secre tary Charles E. Patten, of the De partment of Agriculture, commented, "I noticed while borne last week thnt the farmers already know that 'we stand willing to help them, and they soon wilt begin coming to us for help In mastering the problems which con front them more thnn ever before. "I hope we may extend this message of co-operation to other sections of the Commonwealth," he continued. Commissioner Frank B.

Hydro-Electric Decision On Tax. Replying to a ouestlon raised bv Auditor General Powell as to whether corporations of the sort known as hydro-electric companies are liable for the tax on cross rocelnts. Deputy Attorney General W. M. Har- gest gave It as his opinion that "if such water or water power companies engage In electric lighting they may be taxable but, on the other hand, 1 am of the opinion and constrained to advise you that if water and water power companies do not in fact en gage In the business of electric light ing they are not taxable on their gross receipts." - The point covers those companies incorporated for the storage and trans portatlon of water and water nowcr for commercial and manufacturing pur- poses, which water power thev use to generate electric current which they sell to electric light companies. In another opinion Mr. Harrest de cides that the estate of J. K. Adams, a resident of New York State, who died Intestate, leaving a widow and col lateral belrs, does not escheat to the State. Mr. Hargest says the ground on which the claiu la escheat was filed, that the widow took the estate by descent; that therefore her heirs cannot Inherit It and that the heirs of J. K. Adams cannot inherit it, because she held the estate in fee and they are not the heirs of the last tenant, Is "more Ingenious than sound." Milk Shipment Standard Urged.
