Britain Sharply Warned to

|. s. Note to Sir Edward Grey Says Unwarantcd Interior
ence With Commerce Has Aroused the
Public Here.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The state De-
partment sent note to the British Gov
eminent to-day through Ambassador
Page at London, demonstrating against
the Interference to which the foreign
trade OF this country has been subjected
since the outbreak of the European war.
This document will be laid before Sir
Edward Grey, the British Secretary for
Foreign Affairs.
1t is the longest and most frank COM
munication sent to the British Govern
ment since the outbreak of the war and
reviews In detail what are regarded as
the unwarrantablc annoyances result
ing from Great Britan's assertion of
her right 10 search and hold ships and
cargoes which she believed may ulti-
mately reach Germany.
II is pointed ont that the good feel
ing toward England which prevails in
this country is being moro and more
strained by the constantly increasing
restrictions which the Government Of
that country has seen fl to impose upon
neutral commerce.
The not. was carefully prepared Begun
month ago by Solicitor conc Johnson.
Counsellor Robert Lansing and Secretary
OF state Bryan, it has been finally re-
viewed by the Presiden. himself and It's
phraseolpgy revised with care While II
is conceived in a friendly spirit. tho note
makes no attempt 10 concea. the fact
that the United States Government will
