HURTS FOREIGN TRADE.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The United
States government dispatched a long
mote to Great Britain, insisting upon
an early Improvement in the treatment
of American commerce by the British
fleet.
It gave warning that much feeling
had been aroused in this country and
that public criticism was general over
unwarranted interference with the
aegitimate foreign trade of the Unit
ed States.
The document, constituting the
strongest representation on this sub
ject made by the United States to any
.of the belligerents since the outbreak
vof the war, was cabled to Ambassador
Page to be formally presented to Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign sec
roetary.
Its preparation was begun q month
sago by Solicitor Cone Johnson, Coun.
selior Robert Lansing and Secretary
Bryan and finally during the last two
weeks had the personal attention of
President Wilson himself, who revised
ats phraseology with minute care.
Objects to Naval Policy.
AS the detailed point Of view of the
United States in numerous specific
cases of detentions and seizures of
.cargoes had been set forth In . series
of emphatic protests, most Of which
have gone unheeded, the communica-
tion was couched in general terms
covering the entire subject of the re-
Nations between the United States and
Great Britain, as affected by the lat
tiers naval policy, considered highly
Objectionable by this government.
The note declares at the outset that
sfhe representations are made in
friendly spirit. but that the United
States considers 1t best to speak in
s1srms of frankness. lest silence be
sUnstrued rs an acquiescence In
policy on the part of Great Britain
which infringed the rights Of Ameri-
can citizens under the laws Of ma
'tions.
Since France has adopted practical.
say the same DEGREES on contraband as
has Great Britain the note is virtually

PEELED to Retire.
MINOR ADVANCES BY
ALLIES IN THE WEST
German Counter Assaults Check
Franco British 0nsIaughts.

London, Dec. 29.-The investme emit
by the Russians of the Austrian fort
ress of Cracow again has been raised,
a Petrograd dispatch says. Following
an attempt made by the Austrians to
divide the RD sian forces in Cali ia
the Russians retreated eastward fly
miles.
The initiative in military operations
apparently has been left for the time
being to the airmen. Aerial raids
across the English channel to tho
Lower Thames, over Freiburg. Nancy,
Metz and Sochaczew, Poland, and on
the German naval base at Cuxhaven,
inflicted considerable damage in the
aggregate.
Details of the Cuxhaven expedition
still are lacking and although Berlin
asserts that the British aviators &C.
complished nothing it is said in Ham
burg that some damage was done. 1t
is evident, however, that the heavy
fog prevented the British from carry
ing out fully their plans.
Activity on land and sea apparently
is diminishing. Even in Russian Po-
land the fighting is becoming less Sc
we're, without decision having been
reached. Vienna admits that the Aus
TRANS have been compelled to give
ground before the Galician Carpathi-
ans and in Berlin, it is said, the Ger
man attacks along the Bzura river.

grad reports only artillery fire in this
region.
Allies Onslaught Checked.
In the western theater of the war
the onslaught of the allies would seem
to have been checked by the counter
attack Of the Germans. French troops
during the last three days have made
