LONDON, Dec. 30.-England Is
sharply divided into two factions to
day as a result Of protest Of the
United States against the right Of
search on the high seas. Official Eng
land accepts the protest in the friend,
ly manner in which It was made. I'm
Official comment places the action as
unfriend1y and attributes it to Ger.
man influences at Washington. Even
In oficial circles there is disposi-
ton to contest the claims OF the Unit.
ed States that Americas export trade
has been seriously interfered with by
Great Britain. Omcials point out that
the expectations OF foodstufYs and COP
per from the United States have In
creased 800 percent since the war be
gan. They say that other increases
have been smaller but chat the entire
balance of the. export trade shows a
distinct increase in contradiction to
the Wilson claim.
It is believed. however, that the
matters in controversy eventually will
be amicably settled However. Eng
lish ONO ialdom and the newspapers
generally declare that tnasmuch as
Germany Is to be starved out. there
must be no relaxation OF efforts OF
the allies to prevent ether absolute or
conditional contraband reaching her.
Tho chief question at issue, It is
stated here, is an administrative one.
President Wilson's own admission
that there has been deception prac-
ticed by shippers through the issuance
OF falls, manifests and the concealing
OF contraband in non-contraband car
goes, is declared to Justify England's
insistence on the right OF search.
Therefore because under modern con-
ditions such search is impossible on
the high seas, the only method that
can be followed Is to take these ves-
sels into the nearest British port.
Oficials are hopeful that method
will be found which will cause the
least irritation and prevent losses to
honest American shippers.
Delay In Reply.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-An imme-
diate reply from Great Britain is not
expected by this government to Its
note protesting against British inter
ference with United States commerce.

ernment officials. They do not believe

Delay in the British reply, 1t was
pointed out. hinges upon two features
the serious character OF the protest
and necessity for great consideration
and care in framing the reply. Also
the situation is not considereG imme-
diately critical Or urgent. For FIVE
months the conditions complained Of
by the United States have existed and
no urgent, important case. involving
American shipping is now at issue.
Some delay, however in transmits
sion OF the note is puzzling President
Wilson and his advisors. the Amari-
can note was. completed last Thurs
day, according to reliable information.
The president personally stated yes
terday that he thought it was deliver
ed in London last Saturday. Instead,
press dispatches today recited that
the note was not turned over to the
British foreign ONCE even in the va
cation absence Of Sir Edward Grey,
until yesterday. Lord Grey was to
receive the note personally today.
Strong intention in high official
circles was evident today to back up
tile American protest. Party lines in
congress were obliterated in the unit
ed stand behind the presidents ac-
tion. The white house received many
letters and kilograms today enthus-
iastically supporting the president
for his action.

BET -, Dec. ao.-(Via wireless
through sayviIIe, l. l., to the United
Press.)-The official German war Of
fice report dealing with the situation
in the west and covering events up to
yesterday takes direct issue with the
French claims Of sweeping successes.
On the contrary, It 10 claimed that the
Germans wore able to gain some
ground both to the southeast Of Ypres
and around Nieuport before weather
conditions compelled cessation OF
fighting.
Northwest Of st. MenehouId the
French delivered series Of brilliant
attacks In an effort to retake the
trenches from which they were dio-
lodged some weeks ago, but they were
repulsed with heavy losses, the Ger
mans taking several hundred prison
ers.
The French attacks in the forest Of
BruIe west Of Apremont, have failed
and the Germans now hold the French
trenches there, having also captured
some machine guns. French attacks
on the west front are also reported
to have been repuIsed.
Discussing events on tho eastern
front, the war office says there has
been no change In the situation along
the Rawa Bzura fronts. Germans are
making progress south Of Lodz but In
general the situation 10 unchanged.
Reports reaching here from the
western front the war Office says, show
that the British are greatly dispieas-
ed over the flooding Of tho User dis
trict as result Of which they have
been trapped at several points and
have suffered very heavy losses. It is
now Impossible to remedy these con-
dItions.
According to the official press bu-
reau, the talk OF peace at the present
tlmels wltRcut THE sanction Of tha
foreign office, although itHi9 pointed!
out that all neutraIs are entitled by
The Hague conventions to make sug-
gestions at any tIbe. In the Christ
mas addresses sent out from head
quarters It was perenptorily stated
that tho German nation was prepared
to carry the war through to the bitter
end until peace can be assured on
adequate terms, no matter how great
tho eacrifices that must be made.
Reports from constantinopie state
that the Russian armies In the cauca-
sus are still retreating, Many prison.
ere and munitions Of war have been
captured. A British attempt to land
troops at Akaba has again failed.

COLD STORAGE
BEFORE CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Dec 1G,-Christmas dinner
was under the microscope to-day lefore
the House commerce committee In hear
ings on the Mcclellan bill to limit the
length of time food products may be
kept in cold storage
DR.. II. D. Pcasc, director of the de-
artment of bactcriology at the Lederle
laboratory in New York, said cold
storage turkey was safe If inspect d by
government inspectors before and after
being placed in the cold storage vaults.
He thought however that n limit on
the time food products can he stored
should be placed on all products not
frozen solid for keeping.
Charles r Broste Of New York. told
the committee il was impossible to keep
butter and eggs in cold storage for more
than nine months. At the expiration OF
that length of time, he said. it became
Improbable to hold cold storage eggs
because fresh eggs coming in depressed
the price below what would allow n
reasonable profit on the storage product.
