Advice From the President.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30-President Wilson issued a statement today urg- ing the shippers not to mix contra band goods with general cargo and as far as possible to refuse to accept for shipment any goods on the list of contraband. Great Britain would be called upon to pay big indemnity for the detention of American ships and cargoes, said the president.
 LONDON, Dec. 30.-The British cabinet is holding a special session today to consider the note from Pres ident Wilson, which was delivered to Foreign Secretary Grey and which may result in serious consequences to both Great Britain and the United States.
 The government may ask the Unit ed States to guarantee the consigr- ment bills as containing the goods listed in the cargoes, but which the British have found after contained contraband of war, although billed as other than war supplies. \ Few here believe that the two countries will come to war over the , searching of American vessels for contraband. The note from President Wilson came as a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. The admiralty has made every effort to release ships after the contraband has been discharged and have paid for all goods taken.

Admits contraband Peril
 LONDON, Dec. 3O.-The Daily Mai says editorially:
 With the best will in the world the contraband problem is bound from time to time to lead to awkward incidents that may trouble the sur face, though not the depths, of Anglo American relations. There is no de sire in Great Britain to hamper any American trade unless it is clearly a course of sustenance to the enemy fighting power. There is no desire we believe, in the United States tc curtail in any way the military ef fectiveness of the Allies.
 But within this general agreemen: there is room for much diversity of opinion in regard to particular ill stances. Discretion and consideration on the part of our naval officers, pa. tience on the part of American trad CTS and officers, and as much frank ness and publicity as is possible, both in London and in Washington, are needed to prevent temporary and superficial conflict of interests from developing into the breach which Herr Ballin so ingeniously seeks to effect"

they withdrew in a hurry, declining combat.
 "I asked one of Gen. Joffre's ablest lieutenants if he thought the enemy meant to give up the Yser and Yper- lee line. His reply was:
 "'For obvious reasons I can't tell you what I think on that point, but I will say that even if the Germans resume the struggle on our left wing, they cannot break through. From the, Lys to the sea they have a solid wall in front of them, which cannot be broken down and before which they will shatter themselves if they try it."
