London, Nov. 8-Notwithstanding the
forecast Of the American note to Great
Britain, which has been sent from
Washington by correspondents OF the
British press, surprise Is the predomi-
nant tone Of the majority Of the British
newspapers in their comment on the
document. The country has been too
deeply wrapped in the consideration
Of pressing European problems during
tha mast few weeks to give much at
tenfion TO American opinion. and ap-
narently It was not aware that the

nv the criminaltty Of German practices.
IN some passages the note seems 10
invoke the authority Of international
law as il its problems could be finally
settled for one belligerent without rel
erence to the doings Of the other. That
10 view utterly imapplicable in the
world of things as they are. 1t Is im-
noss,ble to deal with questions aris-
ing between the allies and the United
states while ignoring the practices OF

The Gazette says the British govern
ment has shown desire to reduce In
convenience to neutral trade to q
minimum, but that 1t Is notorious that
methods Of concealment which 1t de-
clares have been adopted by American
shippers exhibit variety and In
genuity demanding the most thorough
counter checks.
"If we have been driven to introduce
new precedents into international law
we are only following in the footsteps
of the American government In Tar
less drastic fashion than the records

II contends that the spirit Of inter-
national law Is superior to the letter.
"To that spirit" it asserts. 1--WE have
adhered with the closest fidelity and
with generosity to which some fuller
recognition from leading neutral points
would not have been inappropriate.
