AMERICAN NOTE OF PROTEST
 GREAT SURPRISE TO BRITISH
Even War News Was Dwarfed in
 Newspaper Reports.

London, Dec. 29, 1915 D. m.-The American note of protest against the British treatment of American com merce and insisting upon an early inn pFoyement, came as a complete sur prise to the British public as there had been virtually no fntirnat ation that any friction had arisen between the two governments.
 The pfacards posted by the evening papers were given over exclusively to the American note and the papers gave it th largest headlines they have given any news during the past month. Con- this as one of the most important cc- eurrences of the whole war. Nothing If the kind since President C1eve1and's 8 Venezuelan message has produced such a sensation.
 The first impression of the public Is that the note may create friction and perhaps some unfriendly feeling, although the newspapers point out that it specifically states that the rep reeentations were made in friendly spirit. The situation is comparable to that which arose at the time of the South African war. when neutral ship = Teerp be~a1 to send cargoes intended for the Trangvaal republic to the neu- fra1 port of Deiagoa bay.
 The Washington note had not reach ed the foreign office this afternoon, but 1f could not have been dealt with had fl arrived. as Sir Edward Grey, secre- tary for foreign affairs. who has been away for the Chrfstnlas holidays, tS not returning until tomorrow.
 Even the war news was allotted a secondary place to the note in the news columns of the papers,

HARVESTING OF NEW
 ENGLAND ICE CROP
Will Provide Employment for Thou sanGs During Next Two Months.

Boston, Dec. 29.-The harvesting of the New England ice crop, which has begun in several sections, will provide employment for thousands of men dur ing the next two months. The steady cold Of the past month has made it possible to start operations earlier than usual. and since the weather bu- reau predicts a cold wave in the inn mediate wake of today's light rain in Southern New England. no serious in- terruption is anticipated. The ice ranges in thickness from eight inches in southern Rhode Island to more than two feet in northern Vermont and New Hampshire. Operations in the north ern section will be somewhat delayed by the necessity of clearing off from one to two feet of snow which covers the ponds.
 In some districts the crop may be curtailed by the low water in the ponds, resulting from the drouth in the fall. The possibility that the quality of the ice may be affected by the same cause is being investigated by local boards of health.

Ocean Freight
 Rates ExOrbitant
EVIDENCE OF INADEQUATE
 TRANSFORMATION FACILITIES.
SINCE EUROPEAN WAR
Rates on Cotton from New York to
 Berlin Have Jumped from 20 Gents Hundred in July to ss in December

Washington Dec 2s.-EVidence of inadequate ocean transportation facih- ties and unreasonable and eXorbttant increases in rates since the European war communicated to the senate today in a report by Secretaries Redfeld and McAdoo is to be used by champions of the pending government ship pur- chase bill, in urging upon the senate the necessity for favorable action on the measure.
 Need of Enlarged Shipping Facilities.
 Senator Fletcher, acting chairman of the commerce committee, is preparing q report on the ship purchase bill all reaoS recommended for action in which will be embodied portions of the information furnished by cabinet of ficials. The committee will seek to impress upon the senate the need of enlarged shipping facilities for ade- Quately taking care of American com merce abroad and will urge that the $40, 100000 government investment contemplated in the ship purchase measure would very soon be compen- sated for by economies in ocean trans portation rates that could be effected.
 Curtailment of Ships Available.
 The report of the cabinet officers dfscloses a shipping condition mini mum as to available vessels and maxi mum to speculative decree on
 
 creasing constantly since last August. i Only fifty per cent. of ordinarily avail able ship tonnage for ocean trans portation is now in use for mercantile purposes, the report discloses and the secretaries assert that the only remedy for the present condition is "to in- crease the available tonnage, in order that the increasing demand for cargo space can be satisfied.
 Increase in Rates.
 Investigation of price conditions, the report said. disclosed among many other increases since last July the following:
 Rates on cotton from New York to Liverpool jumped from 20 cents a hundred pounds in July to 40 cents in September and 75 cents in December Rates on cotton to Bremen went from 20 cents hundred in July to S3 in December. Grain rates rose from 4 and cents a bushel to Is and 17 cents; on provisions to European ports the increases were from $4S7 to ST.3O a ton; flour from 12 and IS cents a hundred to 26 and 35 cents; cotton seed oil from 97 cents to &1.95, a bar rel and on other commodities core spondingly.
 Champions of the ship purchase measure maintain that an American corporation, under direction of the government as contemplated in the pending bill. could be of forceful ef- feet in reducing the inflated shipping prices. That there will be spirited de- bate on the measure is certain. Op- position already is developing; but ad- ministration leaders are confident ii will be passed.

Makes Suggestions for -6ettsrment of
 Wage Workers.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2e.-American wo- men should help to provide steady em- pIoyTnent for thousands of workers by being less cspriciouE in demanding ever changing styles.
 Employers should be made respon- sibie for their employees, both in slack and busy seasons, by legislation com polling them to pay a living wage throughout the year.
 The labor market should be organ ized and directed by a national em- ployment bureau with branches in every important city and labor unions should discontinue the practice of drawing sharp lines between the trades,
 These were some of the suggestions offered to insure steady employment to willing workers, by speakers at today's sessions of the National Conference of the Unemployment.
