Beyond the fact that the United

carry on legitimate trade with ncu-
tral countries. even though they be
contiguous TO belligerents, little is
known of the administrations posi-
tion in view of developments since the
last note was dispatched inquring

pointed out, however, that the AM

and that the question of whether the
order in council was to be enforced
under international law governing
blockades or under the rules Of con-
traband, had not been answered.
Watched by Diplomats.
Diplomats Of other neatrai eoun-
tries, particularly those Of South and
Central American governments have
displayed the greatest interest in the
note. Several of them were among
Secretary Bryans callers today
though SO far as could be learned
none gained any positive information
as to the character Of the document
Since efforts to bring about joint rep
resentations regarding the rights of
neutrals on the high seas failed, it is
understood that the South and Central
American representatives are anxious
to move along lines set by the United
States TO establish their record which
will form the basis OF claims for dam
ages suffered by their citizens through
the activities Of the allied fleets.

today that the usual practice of
awaiting judgment by the prize court
was being followed in the case of the
cargo Of the American steamer An-
tilla. carrying q quantity Of lard and
some machinery both of which have

reason for her detention now that her
