BRITISH ARE NOT SURPRISED AT
PROTEST OF UNITED STATES
Foreign Office Has Con-
stantly Reiterated It's Re
gret Over Delay to Which
American Cargoes Have
Been Subjected by Reason
of Search.
BY ASSOCIATED. PRESS.

London, Dec. 29.-The United States
protest to Great Britain against the
detention Of American cargoes by
British warships caused little surprise
in official circles here. Negotiations
have been in progress between Am
bassador Page. and Foreign Secretary
Grey for several months. The Ameri-
can note is regarded as a summary
of the United States grievances.
A synopsis of the note has been
published here, but the note itself
has not yet reached the foreign Of
flee. Until 1t does no official com
ment Is expected.
The foreign office, however, con-
stantly has reiterated its regret in
times past at the delay of American
ships and expressed a desire to ex-
pedite the examination of American
cargoes as much as possible.
The statement that the American
protest was approved by President
Wilson created much comment here
and added weight to its effect. Some
surprise wa expressed at the state
ments that the delaying of carGoes
by the British authorities is held re-
sponsible for certain depression of
American trade This is particularly
so regarding the cotton depression.
Officials here believe the cotton de-
preston is due to over production and
not to any action OF the British

UNITED STATES WANTS TO
INSPECT RUSSIAN CAMPS

Washington, Dec. 29.-The second
request for a neutral inspection OF the
detention camps of Russia was for
warded to Petrograd today by tho
American state department. The ac-
ton was taken at the request OF the
Austro- Hungarian foreign office
through the embassy here.
A recent attempt of American Am
bassador Marye to form a commission
of investigation met with no response
at Petrograd. The ambassador is said
to have reported little hope Of accom-
plishing in Russia, what has already
been done in this line IN other bellig-
erent countries.

Iieved to have been stolen from the

Of the progress Of the war point this

This means the withdrawal OF vir-
