Orest Britain’s preliminary reply to the protest of the United States again interruption of American com jnerce by the British fleet was made public in Washington and in London Sunday night by mutual agreement between the state department and the British foreign ofllce. The British note concurs in the ▼lew of th**United States that com merce between neutral nations should be Interfered with only when absolutely necessary, and officials here construed it as conceding that the principles expressed by the Amer ican protest were Just. The only formal comment was this statement issued by Secretary Bryan: “This answer being preliminary and not Intended as a complete reply, we will postpone comment until the full answer is received: The answer follows: "The British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the American Am hassador: January 7, 1915. "Tour Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your note of the 28th of December. "It is being carefully examined and the points raised in it are receiving consideration, an the result of which a reply shall be addressed to your Excellency, dealing in detail with the issue raised and the points to which the United States government have drawn attention. This consideration and the preparation of the reply will necessarily require aomo time, and I, therefore, desire to send without fur ther delay some preliminary obser vatlons which will, I trust, help to clear the ground and remove some misconceptions that seem to exist. "Let me say at once that we en tlreiy recognise the most friendly spirit referred to by your Excellency, and that we desire to reply in the same spirit, and in the belief that, as your Excellency states, frankness will beet serve the continuance of cordial relations between the two countries distrten, suck as cotton, la obrloue; bat It la anbailtted that this la do* to the general cause of dlmlaiahed par- power of each countrice Franc*, Germany and the United Kingdom, rather than to Interference with trade with neutral countries. In the matter of. cotton, it may be re called that the British government gave special assistance through the Liverpool cotton exchange to the re newal of transactions In the cotton trade of not only the United King- dm, but of many neutral countries. Detention of Copper. “Tour Excellency' note refers in particular to the detention of copper. The figures taken from official re turns for the export of copper from the United States for Italy for the months during which the war has been in progress up to the end of the '1 **-< ship carrying eottoa; bit, should have information giving u* reason to believe la the ease of particular ship that bales of cotton concealed copper or other contra band, the only way to prove our can* would be to dkamine and weigh bales; a process that could be carried out only by bringing the vessel Into a port. In such a case, or if exami nation Justified the action gt his Majesty’s Government, the ease should be brought before a Prise Court and dealt with In the ordinary way.., “That the decisions of British Prise Courts hitherto have not been unfa vorable to neutrals is evidenced by the decisions in the Mlramtchl case. This case, which was decided against the Crown, laid down that the Amer ican sbipfer was to be paid even first three weeks of December as fol- when he had sold a cargo C. I. F., Rights of BeOigereata. "His Majesty's government cor dially concur In the principle eoun dated bg the government of the Unit •4 Staten, that a belligerent in deal ing with trade between neutrals, should not interfere unleee such In terference is necessary to protect the beiligekeat's national safety, and then oaly to the eat not to which this Is nsBssssry. W* shall endeavor to keep our action within the limits of this prlnetpie on the understanding that It admits our right to Interfere when such Interference Is. not with ‘bona Ads' trade between the United Statee and another neutral country, bat with trade la contraband deetln- ed for the enemy’s country, and we are reedy, whenever our action may unintentionally exceed this principle to make redress. “We think that much misconcep tion exists as to the exten to which we have, in practice, Interfered with trade. Your Excellency’s note seems to hold his Majesty’s government re sponsible for the present condition of trade with neutral countries, and It is stated that, through the action of his Majesty’s government, the products of the great Industries of the United States have been denied long estab lished markets in European countries, which, though neutral, are contigu ous to the seat of war. No Intention to Interfere. "Such a result is far from being the intention of his majesty's govern ment, and they would excoelingly re gret that it should be due to their action. I have been unable to obtain complete or conclusive figures show ing what the state of trade with these neutral countries has been recently, and I can, therefbre, only ask that some further consideration should be given to the question whether United States trade with these neutral coun tries has been so seriously affected. The only figures as to the total vol ume of trade that I have seen are those for the exports from New York, for the month of November, 1914, and they are as follows, compared with the month of November, 1913: "Exports from New York for No vember, 1913 and 1914, respectively: Denmark Sweden . Norway Italy. . Holland . $ 558,000 , . 377,000 477,000 , 2,917,000 . 4,389,000 $7,101,000 2,858,000 2,-318.000 4,781,000 3,960,000 ' As to Cotton Exports. “It is true that there may have been a falling off in cotton exports, as to which New York figures would be no guide, but his Majesty’s govern ment have been most careful not to interfere with cotton, and its place on the free list has been scrupulously maintained. "We do hot wish to lay too much stress upon Incomplete sta’istlcs, the figures above are not put forward as conclusive; and we are prepared to ecamtne any further evidence with regard to. the. state of trade with these neutral countries, which may joint to a different conclusion or show that it Is the action of his Majesty's government in particular, sad not the existence of a state of war and consequent diminution of, porchasing power and shtnkage of. trade, which Is responsible for ad- t effects tpen trad* with the neo- ef a state of hao hed a was MrtaiB great Ip- lows: i “Nineteen thirteen: Fifteen mil lion two hundred two thousand poonds; nineteen fourteen: thirty-six million two hundred eighty-five thou sand pounds. Norway, Sweden, Den mark and Switzerland are not shown separately for the whole period In the United States returns, but are Included in the heading ‘ther Europe’ (that is, Europe other than the Unit ed Kingdom, Russia, France, Bel glum, Austria, Germany, Holland and taly). The corresponding figures un der this heading are as follows: Nine teen thirteen: Seven million two hun dred seventy-one thousand pounds. Nineteen fourteen: Thirty-five mil lion three hundred fortyseven thou sand pounds. "With such figures the presump tion is very strong that the bulk of copper consigned to these countries has recently been Intended, not for their own use, but for that of a bel ligerent who can not Import it direct. It is therefore an imperative neces sity for the safety of this country While it is at war that his Majesty’s government should do all in their power to stop such part of this im port of copper as is not genuinely destined for neutral countries. “Your Excellency does not quote any particular shipment of copper to Sweden, which has been detained There are, however, four consign ments-to Sweden at the present time of copper and aluminum, which thotlgh definitely consigned to Swe den. are. according to positive evi dence In the possession of his Males ty's government, definitely destined for Germany. "I can not believe that with such figures before them and In such cases as those Just mentioned, the government of the United States would question the propriety of the action of his Majesty's government in taking suspected cargoes to a Price Court, and we are convinced that it can not be In accord with the wish either of the government or of the people of the United Statee to strain the International code In favor of pri vate interests so as to prevent Great Britain from taking such legitimate means for this purpose as are In her power As to Foodstuffs. "With regard to the seizure of foodstuffs, to which >>ur Excellency refers, his Majesty's government is prepared to admit that foodstuffs should not be detained and put Into a Prtse Court without presumption that they are intended for the armed forces of the enemy or the enemy's government. We believe that his rule has been adhered to in practice hitherto, but if the United States government has instances to the con trary. we are prepared to examine them, and It is our present intention to adhere to the rule, although we can not give an unlimited and uncon ditional undertaking in view of the departure by those against whom we are fighting from hitherto accepted rules of civilization and humanity and the uncertainty as to the extent to which such rules may be violated by them in future. Forty-five IVetained. "From the 4th of August last to the 3rd of January the number of steamships proceeding from the Unit ed States to Holland. Denmark, Nor way, Sweden and Italy has been seven hundred and seventy-three. Of these there are forty-five which have had coslgnments or cargoes placed in the Prize Court, while of the ships them selves only eight have been placed In the Prize Court, and one of these has since been released. It is, however, es sential under modern conditions that, where there Is real ground for sus pecting the presence of the contra band, the vessels should be brought Into port for examination: in no other way can the right of search be exer cised, and but for this practice it would have to be completely aban doned. Information was received by us that special instructions had been given to ship rubber from the United States under a destination to escape notice, and such cases have occurred in several instances. Only by search In a port can such cases, when sus pected, be discovered and proven. Depression in Cotton. “The necessity for examination in a port may also be illustrated by a hypothetical instance, connected with cotton, which has not yet occurred. Cotton is not specifically mentioned in your Excellency’s note, but I have seen public statements made in the United States that the attitude of his Majesty’s Government with regard to cotton has been ambiguous, and thereby responsible for depressions in the cotton trade. There has never been any foundation for this allega tion^ His Majesty's Government has never put cotton on the list of contra band; they have throughout the war kept it on the free list: and on every occasion when questioned on the point, they have stated their inten tion of adhering to this practice. But information has reached us that, pre cisely because we have declared our intention of not interfering -with cot-, ton, ahlpa carrying' cotton will be specially selected to carry concealed contnbaadT; and we have been warn ed that copper will be concealed In bale* of cotton.

"Whatever suspieioas w* have on er* have not no far mad* a ground for detaining ear and when the risk of losses after the cargo had been shipped did not ap ply to him at all. English Embargo “It has further been . represented to his Majesty’s Government, though this subject is not dealt with in your Excellency’s note, that our embargo on the export pf some articles, more especialy rubber, have interfered with commercial Interests In the United States. It Is, of course, diffi cult for his Majesty’s Government to permit the export of rubber from British dominions to the United States at a time when rubber la es sential to belligerent countries for carrying on the war, and when a new trade in exporting rubber from the United States in suspiciously large quantities to neutral countriee has actually sprung up since the war. It would be impossible to permit tho export of rubber from Great Britain unless the right of his Majesty’s Gov ernment were admitted to Submit to a Prize Court cargoes of rubber ex ported from the United States, which they believed to be destined for an enemy country, and reasonable lati tude of action for this purpose were conceded. But his Majesty's Govern ment have now provisionally come to an arrangement with the rubber exporters In Great Britain, which will permit of licenses being given under proper guarantees for the export of rubber to the United Statt , \ "Growing Danger.” “We are confronted with the grow ing danger that neutral countries contlnguous to the enemy will become on a scale hitherto unprecedented a base of supplies for the armed forces of our enemies and for materials for manufacturing armament. The trade figures of Imports show how strong this tendency is. but we have no complaint to nr ke of the attitude of the Uevernmeots of those countriee. which, eo far as we are aware have not departed from pr per rules of neutrality. We endeavor In the in terest of our own national safety to prevent this danger by intercepting goods really destined for the enemy, without “interfering with those which are bona lids' neutral. “Since the outbreak of the war, the Government of the United States have changed their previous practice and have prohibited the publication of manifests till thirty days after the departure of vessels from the United porta. We had no ’locus standi' for complaining of this charge, and did not complain. But the effect of it must be to increase the difficulty of ascertaining the presence of contra band, and to render • ^eesry In the intereet of our naf a' saftey the examination and d* dftion of more ships than would 1 been the case it the former prae* jn had continued Anxious to Avoid Delays. "Pending a more detailed reply. 1 would conclude by saying that his Majesty’s Government do not deeire to contest the general principles of law, on which they understand the note of the United Statee to bo based, sad desire to restrict their action solely to interferences with contra band destined for the enemy. His Majesty's Government are prepared, whenever a cargo coming from the United States is detained, to explain the case on which such detention has taken place, and would gladly enter into any arrangement by which mistakes can be avoided and repara tion secured promptly when any in jury to the neutral owners of a ship or cargo has been improverly caused, for they are mose desirous in the interest both of the United States and of other neutral countries that British action should not interfere with the normal importation and use by the neutral countries of goods from the United States.

We took some prisoners.’’ Berlin reports: “The Morgen Post prints details of a recent British at tack on Tanga, German East Africa. The first landing of 8,000 British and Hindus was repulsed by the Ger mans, who numbered about 2,000, with 600 killed or wounded.

They were all repulsed Satur day. with great losses to the enemy. We captured more than 100 prison ers. Battles at Solssons itself recom menced Sunday "Near Perthes, northeast of Camp Chalons, the French have again fiercely attacked. Their attacks broke down with very heavy loaaea to them.

London reports the Germans coin cident with their movement from the north have resumed their violent of fensive operations west of Warsaw. They are hacklnb their way forward at some points, only to be in turn driven out from their positions by Russian bayonet attacks. That leaves the situation in Poland as a whole about what it was a fortnight ago. The Russian sweep through the Austrians crown land of Bukowina continues unchecked. Servia, with her army more or less rehabilitated, is described in London as attacking the dual monarchy from the south with renewed vigor. Austria declares that the latest Servian movements have been repulsed.

Vienna reports: "A continuous thaw accompanied by torrential rains has converted the whole theatre of the war in Poland and Galicia into a sea of mud.

Great Britain, Italy and The Neth erlands have readied an agreement whereby commerce to the latter two ^countries from the United States is expected,to meet with a minimum molestation. $}reat Britain, accord ing to statements from both the Brit ish embassy and State department, also has taken steps to refmedy some of the complaints made by the United States in its recent protest. The statements indicated that so far as Italy and Holland are concern ed, the British government now be lieves the danger of getting contra band articles through to Germany and Austria has been removed. Should effective measures be agreed on between the Allies and the other European neutrals British officials believe American commerce in future will not be subject to delays and in terference. American Minister Van Dyke, at The Hague, cabled Thursday that th# British, French and Russian minis ters had given formal assurances that merchandise, even of a contraband character, would not be molested on the high seas if consigned to the re cently established Netherlands jnon< opoly. Secretary Bryan received a per-\ sonal note from Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, | the British ambassador, stating that Inasmuch as the re-exportation of naval stores probably would be pro hibited by Italy and Holland, ar rangements would soon be completed’ whereby’these products could be ship ped without difficulty to thoas coun tries from the United Plates. The British ambassador also issued the following statement: “Shipments for Italy in Italian steamers of goods placed on the em bargo list of the Italian governmeat and consigned to named persona are free. “Articles for Holland (apart from copper, petroleum and grain, except rice and conn, which must be eon- signed to The Netherlands govern ment, should be consigned to The Netherlands Overseas Trust to insure non-interference. “Out of 773 vessels that have pro ceeded from the United States to Scandinavian countries, Hoilend and Italy, alnce the beginning of the war. only eight have been pot into the Prlxe Courts and one of theee has been released, leaving only seven de tained for decision of the Prise Court. By far the greater number of those detained for examination have been already released. "With regard to purchases of car goes the British government has par- chased many cargoes of copper and has not yet condemned or confiscated any neutral cargo or consignment, al though some are awaiting adjudica tion.” In connection with this statement government officials pointed ont that while only eight ships have been put Into Prite Courts, scores of others had been held up for varying pertyds of time before being released, it was not only these delayc, but the conse quent moral effect on shippers, who hesitated to subject perishable goods to extended examination in British ports, which brought forth the Amer ican note. The fact that only eight cases actually were taken Into Prlze^ Courts has convinced many officials that the bulk of American commerce was of a legitimate character, and that most of the detentions of Amer ican ships were without real cause. *The text cf the cablegram received by The Notherlrnds minister from his government was summarized In the- following statement by the state de partment: "The British and French minis ters. who were joined orally by the Russian minister, have declared by a note dated December 28 that con traband merchandise which is con signed to the recently established Netherlands monopoly for the receipt of Imports will not be stopped. They also declared that their government would not. stop foodstuffs (the neces saries of life) consigned to mer chants unless the merchants are be yond a doubt mediums of (Jelivery to- the governments at war with Great Britain, France and Russia.’’ “The British ambassador gave Mr. Bryan a general summary of the- status of some specific questions rais ed outside of the American note on the general subject of eommerce. Mr. Bryan Issued the following statement, based on the ambassador’s memo randum: "The question of rubber Is beljev- ed to be apprpaching a satisfactory settlement. Progress Is being made with the question of naval stores, and it is expected tljat arrangementa- will be made by which shipments can be made to The Netherlands V and Italy and «ther neutrals without dif ficulty.’’ nent.
