SEEKS 4 way OUT
British Onaeialdom Is Busy
With the Problem =
Presented In President Wilson's
Note Regarding Seizures.
fBy Ed. x. Keen.1

London, Dec. 31.-Thes admiralty
has prepared for the foreign Office a
all ships which have been held up or
diverted into port. Of VESSELS carrying
g IS from the United States In
some instances the reason assigned for
the action is given. Specific aflega-
tons of irregular manifest and of
contraband are cited and 1t II expected
that this document will prove a very
swer Of Great Britain to President
Wilson's demands
The situation Is still considered the
most serious development OF the war
to date outside Of the actual fighting
There is q strong minority In England
that seems anxious to seize upon the
action of the United States as evil
dence that 1t is pro-German. And
some Of the newspapers, especially
those outside OF London. are urging
the government to stand firmly by its
past action and to tell the United
States that 1t will not be permitted to
coin money out OF England's necessf-
ties.
Of1cialdom generally. however. be-
lfeves that a way will be found out
Of the matter that will be satisfactory
to both sides. The best experts of in
teFnafional law have been called into
consultation with the foreign office and
the high officials Of the crown. includ-
ing the attorney general and the solic-
itor general They will pass upon each
individual contention raised by the
United States. 1t is also the intention
of the foreign-office to discuss the mat
ter with Ambassador Page as President
Wilson's direct representative.
Americans Are Angry.
The evident attempt on the part of
certain officials to characterize the
H. h
ragged Americans here. 1t was plain
that the official press bureau was try
ing to make out a case against the
United States by giving publicity to
the note before it actually had been
presented to England. in its statement
that the note was not handed over
until Wednesday and Ambassador
Page personally forced a retraction
from the foreign office. At the Amer
lean embassy it is stated that as soon
as word was received that the note
was to be sent, the foreign office was
Immediately informed. The summary
and the note itself followed. In every
way the usages Of diplomacy were fol-
is concerned and Ambassador Page
was present to resent the imputatiOn.
1t is not believed, however, that this
will In any way complicate the situa-
ton.
No answer from England is looked for
by the embassy for several days.. The
questions at issue are too grave to be
dismissed offhand. And the attitude of
the other neutral countries and espe-
cially those of the Scandinavian PEN
insula will also be considered at the
same time. 1t is hoped by officials
here that some way will be found
whereby these countries will agree to
prevent transshipment of supplies from
America. If this can be done the So
luton Of Americas problem will be
easy. =

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Dec. observation-disclosures inter-
fering with the Argentine harvest gave
little Hrmness to the wheat market today
but the effect soon wore OF. Uncertainty
as to the export outlook and in regard to
she shipping difficulty with Great Britain
gave an advantage to the bears. 1t was
announced that ocean freight rates con-
tinued and that charters were few, after
opening c to sc higher, wheat prices
here underwent a sag that for the most
part went well under last nights level.
Afterward a decided rally took place,
starting with cash buying for Portland.
Maine. and for relief work In Belgium, it
was estimated later that export sales for
"a hours amounted to one million bushels.
The close was unsettled, at sc to 11%c net
-'1 coRN-Absenc ! Of anys urgent demand
weakened corn. The narket was also af-
fected by the setback in" wheat. Opening
prices. which varied from shade of to
sc up. were followed by a down turn
that carried the. market generally &c or
more below the previous close. -
Chances for shipments to the Canadian
Northwest helped subsequently to turn
the market UP grade. The close was
nervous, Nc to sc above last night.
OATSOats took the same course as
corn. Trade was only moderate.
PROVISIONS-Higher quotations for
hogs tended to lift provisions. Pit specu-
latorS seemed to have a monopoly on the
selling.

where he led the Anti-Saloon league
forces in supporting the Hobson resO-
luton for constitutional prohibition.
and his analysis of the situation was
highly interesting and enlightening to
the convention audience. He said in
part:
The temperance forces Of the coun-
try have great reason to be deeply
gratified by the results obtained at
Washington on December %. The
vote in congress marks distinct ad-
vanced position in the great reform.
1t is the first time in the history of
the republic that the question of ma
tiOnal prohibition has gotten upon
the floor of either branch of congress.
The fact that the first effort should
slow a clear majority Of eight. .exclu-
sive of .,airs, with both floor leaders,
the chairman of the rules committee
and the prestige of the president and
the secretary of state invoked against
us, In view of the further fact that no
member Of the present congress was
elected on this issue, is exceedingly
gratifying.
A record has been made. The
friends of the measure will no longer
be fighting in the dark. For the first
time the battle line is fairly and clear
ly drawn. Our appeal is now to the
people. The longer it takes to secure
submission. the shorter time will be
required to reach ratification. The
