enormous, reaching about 81 500, ,000,0 900

PROTEST TO

protest against the blockade of the seas
about England and the German coast
will be sahped at the meeting Of the
cabinet tomorrow, but il will not be
phrased in the vigorous terms that was
first proposed.
Secretary Bryan will report to the
cabinet that Ambassador Page has re-
ceived informal promises from the al
lies that they intend TO limit the war
zone to the smallest area possible, but
no definite figures have been given.
1t is understood that the Unitcl
States will be satisfied with the limita-
tion that will confine the war area to
within one thosand miles of the coast.
So far, however, the allies have been
unwilling to guarantee that such linz
it can be established.
On account of the informal promises
given to Page, however, the govern
ment has abandoned its original plan TO
make very vigorous protest in tho
strongest possible terms. II is now be.
lieved that the formal statement by tho
administration will be comparatively
mild in tone.
state department officials declined
to indicate the nature Of the protest
but they said it would protect American
interests fully. It is expected that
Great Britain and France will be asked
to define the locality they intend &c

to accomplish that result. The protest
