told that the state department would
probably not deliver the text Of the
communication 10 foreign govern
ments generally as it still regarded
the note as confidential. the Amer-
can government itself not having au-
thorized its publication in part or in
whole.
The general points on which the
note complains and which have been
made the basis of several specific
protests hitherto are substantially as
follows:
/. American cargoes have been
searched on the high seas-a bellig-
erent right that is not denied-but
ships also have been diverted to ports
for further examination, circum-
stance held not justified under inter-
national law, unless full proof of a
hostile destination is presented at
the time. Serious loss. especially to
perishabie goods. resulted from such
delays in a ships voyage.
2. Great Britain has regarded alb
.solute and conditional contraband as
in the same class. The general un-
derstanding in international law has
been that absolute contraband in
cludes those articles which are m
tended for use by a belligerent force
and directly destined to it. A condi-
tional contraband, including food :
stuffs, comprises articles which
are susceptible to use by an army
or navy, but it must be proven in
stead of being intended for the civil
population of the country, that these
products are destined for use by its
army and navy.
3. Irrespective of the controversy
over what constitutes abs olute or con-
ditional contraband in THE commerce
between a neutral ara a belligerent
country, the note sets forth that in
respect to commerce between two
neutral countries tb ere ought to be
no question of COM raband at all. FOL
the relations are Those of peace ant
not of war. Sinde the civil war tn,
United States has upheld the doctrin,
| of continuous ! voyage" which per
mitted the seizure of a cargo ever
in its journey between neutral port
provided evep tually it is destined t.
belligerenf The American note
however. takes the position that
proof of slsch hostile destination mus
be shown at the time of seizure.

Cabinet Considers Note.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-The British
cabinet held a special session this
afternoon TO consider the American
government note concerning the de-
lay to American shipping caused by
the scare hing Of vessels by the Brit
ish fleet. The note reached London
yesterday. The subject of American
shipping continues to monopoliZe in
terest here. Ii is not expected n re-
Fly ITO the note will be ready for
several days.
It is pointed out that a document
which took weeks to draft could
hardly be digested by the cabinet ut
zone meeting Even Sir Edward Grey.
the British foreign secretary, who re-
turned to London and found the note
on his desk, scarcely had time to
read, much less consider it before
the meeting of his colleagues. In
formation must be sought at the
admiralty, which department is re-
sponsible for the examination of the
ships cargoes.
Permanent officials of the foreign
office and law officers of the crown
necessarily must be called on or
diplomatic and legal opinions on
F! the case submitted by President Will
! son. When this procedure is adopted
the American ambassador will be
asked to coner with Sir Edward Grey
and discuss the whole question, and
probably Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the
British ambassador at Washington
will be instructed to take the ques-
ton up with the state department
British shipoWners. who are almost
as greatly concerned over the stud-
ton as the American shippers, ex-
pressed the opinion that the matte,
could be amicably settled.
The note generally was calmly dis
cussed, except by a few, who de
clared that Great Britain should dis
regard the American wishes and opcI
and follow entirely a policy best cal
culated to assist the allies in the wa
on Germany and Austria.

The report filed by Senator Fletcher,

the report yesterday by Secretaries
McAdoo and Redfield on general ship
ping conditions, showing enormous
increases in ocean transportation
rates and the falling off in tonnage
facilities since the European war be-
gan.
"Unquestionably,' said the report,
IF we had additional ships under the
American flag the situation would
rapidly improve, and much of the
distress of producers, business men
and bankers, not only in the south,
but throughout the country would be
relieved. The need is urgent, and

stockholders will be notified shortly
of the date of the annual meeting
when the election of directors and
other details connected with the flu
ture of the company will be con-
sidered.
Up to date the incorporators Of the
company have acted as directors.
This was necessary as many matters
had to be acted upon Immediately,
and a complete report of all work
done will be presented at the annual
meeting.
The subscriptions received have
enabled the assessment to be reduc-
ed, and shortly the subscribers will
have returned to them one dollar for
each five dollars subscribed.
The officials of the new bank are
anxious to have the checks for the
excess amounts sent to the subscrib
ers as early as possible. This will
he done, but all the detail work con-
nected with making out of return
checks, stock certificates, and trans
ferring balances at the bank, will
necessarily take some days as there
are over 2,400 accounts to be handled.
The complete success of the plan
is due to the splendid cooperative
spirit shown by the depositors, bust
ness men and citizens generally. This
success has brought to Phoenix, to
succeed the old Valley bank, n new
institution which is one of the
strongest financial organizations in
the southwest.

thank all of those who rendered such
valuable services in the difficult
task now complete with such COM

large numbers of the lawmakers Only
the fact that it added another office
to be filled by appointment was re-
sponsibe for its failure of enact
ment at the last session. The bill
was introduced by Senator John
Hughes of Pima county.
Another measure that Governor
Hunt has long favored and one that
he will recommend to the legislature,
is the creation of a state game re-
serve in the Graham mountains. No
appropriation will be necessary in
this case, as the land already belongs
n the state. and will merely have to
be set aside by enactment. Already
preparations to utilize this region for
the propagation of big game have
been made by the game warden's de-
partment, and an allotment of elk
are to be liberated there as soon as
they are received from Yellowstone
Park
Continuation of the state land com
mission. whose tenure of office eX-
pires at the adjournment of the COM
ing session Of the legislature, will
be another of the governors recon-
mendations. That the proposal to
continue the commission for another
term Of years will meet with strenu-
Gus opposition from certain quarters
is conceded and the fight over this
proposition promises to be one of the
big ones of the session.
1t is expected that the governor
will also recommend the protection
of deer and turkey indefinitely and
other measures for the preservation
of the wild life of the state contained
in the new game law fostered by
Game Warden Willard.
