IRIFLE CARTRIDGES ARE SHIPPED TO BRITISH From United States, Allege Flint & Co, Expun Merchants. New York, Feb. 25.—Allegations that 8,600,000 rifle cartridges are being shipped weekly to the British government from the output of the Remington Arms, Union Metallic Cartridge company and of the Win-~ chester” Repeating /Arms company, were made an answer filed in the supreme court by Flint & ! company, export merchants, to a suit brought against them by Mar- cellus H. Dodge. The answer al- Jeges further that the British gov- ernment’s order is an indefinite one, !to continue long as the supply may bhe required.” i The Flint company claims it was a party to a plan to furnish Great Brifain with these cartridges but that Dodge made =secret contracts with the British government where- by the Flint company suffered dam- ages to the extent of $500,000 for t wihch it asks judgment on a counter claim. in After $143,623 Balance.

Not Party to Contract, New Haven, Feb. —The chester Repeating Arms company terday sued a statement denying al- legations contained in the suit brought by Flint & Co., export agents, against Marcellus H. Dodge at New York that the company was a party to a contract to supply rifle cartridges to the Brit- ish government. Thne statement fol- lows: “The Winchester company has not had and has not now any joint con- tract with any firm or individual to supply ammunition to foreign govern- ments. Neither did this company ac- cept the offer of Flint & Co. to sup- ply the British government, nor au- thorize them to negotiate in its be- half with that government " The Flint company In its suit said 4 that 3,500,000 rifle cartridges were shipped weekly to the British govern- ment from the output of the Rem- jngton Arms Union Metallic Cartridge company and of the Winchester Re- peating Arms company.

STUDENT FIRES TWICE AT SENHOR COSTA Both Shots Miss Purtuguese Leader— Boy Declares No One Incited Him to Commit Act, Paris, Feb. 24.—The Havas News Agency has received a despatch from Madrid saying that an attempt was made last night to murder Dr. Affonze Costa, ex-premier and minister of finance and now leader of the demo- cratic party in Purtugal. The assault or Senhor Costa was made by Jose Francisco Silva, a student, agea 14 years. As Senhor Costa was board- ing a nexpress train to go to Lisbon, Silva approached him, drew a re- velver and fired twice. Both shots The boy was arrested, but declared that no one had incited him to commit the act. Portugal, Feb. Via, Zovernment s decided to postpone the general elections sine die, and it has ordered a revision of the present census. This decision is considered here a hard blow for Dr. Affonze Costa and the democratic party, for the reason that under th eexisting census he un- doubtedly would have obtained a ma- jority vote because of the enforced or voluntary abstention from voting of the other parties.

It is not expected that a defini‘c reply to the informal communication from the American government will be recieved here for at least two days. From such preliminary ob servations as American diplomatic officers abroad already have made, there is said to be some encourage- ment in the manner of the reception of the proposals at T.ondon.

The strong attitude which Scgndinavian countries, Italy, Hoi- land and other neutrals, have as- sumed toward the retaliatory mea ures adopted by the belligerents S | playing a considerable part in the | situation. Although the American proposals have not been communi- cated to other neutrals, it may stated that virtually all the neutral! governments of Europe are in i cord with the Washington govern- ment. Officials while reticent about what has been said to Germany and Great Britain in the latest communications do not deny that the gravity of the whole situation has been made un- mistakably clear. ( the be | Might Shut Off Suplies. In some quarters yesterday the sug- | gestion was made but without con- firmation from sources usually well informed, that an embargo on ex- ports' of foodstuffs from the United States to both the allies and Ger- many was being considered as the next step in the event of an absolute rejection of the American plan ror ameliorating the situation. Memorandum. the latest as a confi- was sent to Confidential It became known that communication, described dential memorandum, Ambassadors Page and Gerard at London and Berlin, respectively, on Sunday after conferences between President Wilson, ffecretary Bryan and Counselor Robert Lansing. It was deemed necessary to the contents of the proposals great secrecy so that public ences to them might not the belligerents in their discussion of the suggestions. The American government, moreover, asked that the document be regarded for the present as strictly confidential. As few officials and virtually none of the diplomatic corps are aware of the terms of the arrangements sug- gested by the United States, official Washington awaited with much anxiety the result of the present par- leys. High officials are giving vir- tually all of their attention to the subject to the exclusion of such questions as the Japanese-Chinese negotiations and Mexican problems. Submarine Warfare. While complaints have been few, some officials think the most serious effect of the submarine warfare on merchant ships and the restrictions imposed on the shipment of food- stuffs and conditional contraband has yet to develop. They believe that if the present situation continues, American ex- ports will drop to a considerable ex- tent. guard with refer- embarrass Feeling Is Tense, There is no concealment either of the feelings in high school quarters that if the present tension over the attitude of the belligerents continues and any American lives are proved to have been lost as a result of their activitie the Washington govern- ment may be called upon to abandon its present attitude of friendliness toward all the warring powers. Thus far there have been no re- plies to the notes from Great Britain and Germany concerning the misuse of flags and the possible attacks by submarines on neutral vessels. While these subjects are discussed in the latest contidential memorandum, the formal replies if any should be made, will await the outcome of the present informal negotiations.
