WAR NEWS UP TO THIS MORNING
British Admiral Says No Supplies Have Been Received
from New York-Allied Fleet Bombards Smyrna
Prussian Losses Total 1,133,OS1

the British and allied governments =
that American ships known not to be
carrying contraband will be safe from
interference in European waters. The
British press comment has been wide
spread and most of it expresses, graf
ifeation with the tone of the note, but
there is great difference of opinion as
to the possible results. Newspapers
which from the first have advocated
formal blockade of Germany see a
loophole in the note for action on the
part of the British government leading
to this end, while others express the
feeling that fuller understanding by
the United States of the British posi-
ton will lead to acquiescence in the
present order in council
Five more Prussian casualty lists
bring the total of Prussians killed
wounded and missing up to 1,133, O8l
men. This does not include the Bava
rian, Saxon, Wuertemburg and naval
lists.
