ENGLISH CRISIS
/. CROWS SERIOUS
!. WITH PROTESTS
BY THEODORE TiLLER.

WASHINGTON, July 80 While
awaiting the new British note on the
blockade issue which is summoning
greater importance daily, this govern
ment has instructed Ambassador Ger
ard to demand of Germany reparation
for the destruction of the American
steamer Leelanaw and the demand
was expected to be presented at Ber-
lin today.
State department officials say the
Leelanaw case raises the same issues
as the William P. Frye incident and
Germany will be informed that she is
expected to pay for the torpedoed
vessel. With the filing of his claim
for damages, the Leelanaw incident
became of minor importance as COM
pared to the British blockade issue
and the broader controversy concern
ing the use of submarines by Ger
many. The submarine issue probably
will lie dormant for the present-at
least until there is some violation of
American rights-while the blockade
question is engaging the most serious
attention of the state department Off
Gals.
1t was learned today that the pro-
tests of American shippers and i'm
porters against the British blockade
have become so numerous and vigor-
Gus that the state department already
made emphatic, but informal represen-
tations to the British government
These representations, however, ap-
pear to have been ineffective In the
main and the situation daily is be-
coming more acute.
The unofficial but vigorous efforts
of administration officials to obtain
for American importers the release of
valuable cargoes of German, Austrian
and other merchandise now being held
in neutral ports because Of the British
blockade is understood to be respon.
sible for Great Britain's notice that
she is sending supplemental note on
the blockade question
