program was to have been a lecture

probably will be given some other

UNCLE SAM AND
JOHN BULL DISAGREE
United States and Great Britain Are
Nearing Show Down on seiz-
ure Question.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-Graat
Britain and the United States are
rapidly approaching show down on
the question of British seizure OF
American vessels, according to official
statements today. One strong protest
to Great Britain was lodged today
and another was in prospect. The
protest made was over the seizure of
the Standard Oil tanker John D..
Rockefeller, an American bottom never
under foreign registry, plying with
petroleum between neutral ports Of
New York and Copenhagen. Her seiz-
ure of the Orkney Isles a few days
ago the administration felt has very
weak excuse, because no question of
flag transfer was involved. Interna-
tional law likewise exempts seizure
of any neutral vessel operating be-
tween neutral ports.
Protests over the seizure Of the
Standard Oil tanker Brindflla on
Ambrose channel was also imminent.
Acting Secretary Of State Lansing
conferred at length today with
President Wilson, presumably on the
British seizure subject. At the close
of the conference he positively de-
clined to indicate what the outcome
was to be. 1t was officially indicated,
however, that protests in the Bindilla
incident will be forthcoming If 1t is
found her seizure was based solely on
a question OF validity Of transfer to
the American flag.
