WASHINGTON. March 15.-6rent
Brita!n's order in council explaining
her embargo on all commerce between
Germany and neutral countries was
received with such evident disappoint-
ment by high officials OF the United
States government that a strong pro-
test against its terms was considered
In official quarters as certain to be
made soon.

RAISED EXPECTATIONS
Germany's acceptanccs OF tho Ameri-
can suggestions had raised expecta-
lions that the allies might do likewise.
While the British order in council
explains some points made in the
American note OF inquiry concerning
the prohibitions OF commercial inter
course between Germany and the
United States, the fact that an addi-
tional memorandum not yet received
here had been given to Ambassador

be exempted from the prohibitions. as
requested In the American note. and

displeasurc was apparent IL was
pointed out that the effect on American
commerce was far-rca ching, and that
there was no precedent for Great Brit
