London, July 20.-Leading English
newspapers again editorialize in the
gravest tones on the Russian seizure
of British vessels. Even the conser,
vatiye Standard declares The nation
looks to the foreign office to take
more effectual action than the or.
binary conventions of diplomatic in
tercourse prescribe. The case is not
one for fastidious treatment. If moth
ing Is done officially to relieve the
painful strain the irritation of this
country may grow into stubborn re,
sentiment. We cannot, even for sake
OF peace. sit down under series OF
nndlsguisedly provocative measures
Similar war like tone pervades al,
most every other paper. All details
in connection with the seizures of the
ships are printed in most prominent
type No such bitter feeling has been
aroused in the English press since
German emperor's telegram to the
Beers
From all sides come urgent de-
mands upon the government to take
swift action TO prevent recurrence
of the seizures. Russian piracy" as
one paper heads 1t. takes precedence
of all other news.
The news declares that as a result
of cabinet meeting yesterday
strongly worded dispatch was drawn
up embodying the governments for
nal protest against the action of the
Russian vessels and that this dis
patch will be forwarded to st. Peters
burg by a special kings messenger
The cabinet, the paper says, had an
interchange of views with the admir-
ally and a program of action in case
of 6ventualities was decided upon. II
was decided also to make protest To
the Turkish government.
The foregoing scarcely agrees with
the attitude of the foreign office as
officially expressed to the Associated
Press. and it appears to be an eXag'
gerated version of what has been pub
licly declared as matter engaging
serious attention of the government.

Of the payment of the fine. These sen.
