Interest in England

London, January S.-C:35 p. m.)-The
English public and press are manifesting
much interest in Great Britain's prelm-
mary reply today to the American pro-
test against British interference with
American shipping.
There is general speculation as tc
whether the reply will, offer more facts
than the American note about which the
controversy turns. Repeated statements
of the British foreign office that the
reply is entirely friendly and concilia-
tory, although not receding from the posi-
ton that Great Britain must continue
to search for contraband, have treasured
the public, which no longer regards the
note as a threatening incident.
Ambassador Page and Sir Edward Grey
have agreed that the preliminary reply
state department at Washington author
ICES its release.
1t is said the British government will
make its more definite and supplementary
reply probably within two weeks. Fur
Their negotiations regarding specific cases
of detention will precede the preparation
of the final answer.
Official English figures show that since
the beginning of the war 773 ships have
left the United States for Norway, Dem
mark and Sweden. or these eight have
been seized to the prize court. The num-
Der searched or held pending an investi-
cation has not been published
London, Liverpool and Manchester pa
pers repeatedly have printed the state
ment that Americans have shipped cop
per inside cotton bales intimating that
this is a general practice. No cotton
cargoes have reached the prize court and
the American embassy has no knowledge
of copper being struggled in cotton. How

eign office has made no statement sup
porting the accusations.

German Position

London, January s.-Reuter's Amster-
dam correspondent sends the following:
According to a Berlin telegram, to-
nights issue of the North German Gazette
published the following inspired COM
muEication
" The archbishop of Mallnes, Cardinal
MercieE issued a Christmas pastoral let
te~ which he directed should be read from
the pulpits of all the churches in his do
cese January /, and the following Sun
day. In addition to remarks on religious
matters the letter contains series of po-
litical statements irreconcilable with the
present state of occupation. The German
authorities, therefore, were obliged to
take measures to prevent further propaga-
ton of the letter.
When the governor general drew the
attention of the cardinal to the matter the
latter declared his letter was not meant
to be of an melting nature. He said his
intention was to pacify the population and
endeavor to remind them, without hurting
their patriotic feelings, to be submissive,
in demeanor at least, to German author
ity.
However. as the governor general
was of a different opinion with regard to
the letter and feared 1t would have an in
citing effect. Cardinal MERCER did not
insist upon the execution of his direc-
tons for continued reading OF the letter
Nom pulpits. Before this the governor
gel eral had prohibited the publication and
prcps cation of the pastoral letter
