NOT YET REACHED
Britain Orders Warships
to Discontinue Hold
UPS Off New York.

London, Oct. 24.-The protest OF the
United States against the seizure by
British warships of the American oil
ship Platuria was the subject Of a min.
isterial conference to-day. According
to the Foreign Office no decision was
reached.
Those who attended the conference
we're Premier Asquith, Foreign Secre-
tary Sir Edward Grey, the First Lord
of the Admiralty, Winston s. Church
i'll; the Lord High Chancellor, Viscount
Haldane, and the rreeident of the
Board Of Trade, ". Kurciman.
Washington, Oct. % There will be
no further interference by British
cruisers with American commerce at
the gateway 20 New York.
At the beginning Of the European
war several British cruisers made their
appearance of Sandy Hook, and while
there were no seizures in that imme-
date neighborhood captains OF neutral
ships were signalled and in some cases
stopped by the British cruisers TO es-
tablish their identity, the destination
Of their ships and the nature of the
cargo.
The attention Of the British govern
ment was called TO the practice at the
suggestion OF the Navy Department
and orders have been given for It's
prompt discontinuancs.
Private letters have been received az
the British Embassy here from Dem
mark stating that one big shipment Of
fuel oil from the United States was
sent promptly on It's arrival in Copen-
hagen to the German aerial and naval
base at Kiel This information and
the belief in England that the recent
increase in oil shipments from the
United States TO Denmark was prepare
tory TO a general attack on Great Brit
ain by Zeppelins and submarines re-
suited in the British restrictive meas
ures.
Ambassador, discussed with Acting Sec
Rotary Lansing to-day the protests
lodged by the United States against the
detention Of the oil vessels.
The question, Il Is believed in off,
cial circles, will be adjusted during the
coming week, and shippers will be noti-
fed that they must eonsign their car
goes to a specific eonsignee, and not ITO

Such seizures have been disputed
point since the American Civil War,
when English esrgoes destined for the
British Bahamas were seized by Union
vessels because il was believed the
shipments really we're intended for
transshipment TO the Southern States.
The Supreme Court OF the United
States upheld the seizures on the
ground that the sensible Interpretation
of the question was TO consider as
