been tried out in small way and the
results had been most satisfactory.

BRITISH REPLY TO
AMERICAN NOTE
Claims the Right to Take Ships
to Port if Necessary.
FULL ANSWER AWAITED
United States Asked II It Wants Inter-
national Relations Strained
ain Favor Of Private
interests"

Washington, D. General disap-
pointment Is felt in Administration
circles over the contents of the British
reply to the American note of protest
against British interference with
American trade While this reply, the
text of which was made public Sun
day night by Secretary Of State Bryan,
is not the final statement Of Great
Britains position. it presages, in the
opinion of high officials here, a deter
mination on the part of the London
Government to evade the main con-
tentions of the United States.
Main Contentious Sighted.
Admitting as entirely sound and un-
answerable the general principles of
international law upon which the
American note was based, the reply
seeks justification for England's
actions, first, in statistics tending to
show that American trade has not
been made to suffer materially and
second, by quoting instances where at
tempts on the part of American ship
pers to conceal the real nature or
destiny of their shipments have made
it necessary to suspect great many
cargoes.
The reply does not. as far as this
preliminary statement shows, in the
opinion of officials here. sufficiently
American Government regarding the
right Of Its shippers to consigns
cargoes "to order" and the question Of
ultimate destination"
While, as was anticipated, the reply
Is conciliatory in tone, one paragraph
is calculated to arouse unfavorable
comment, in that it questions whether
the people of the United States would
want the international relations be-
tween the two countries to be strained
"in favor of private interests"
The note Is signed by Sir Edward
Grey. the British Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, and is addressed to Walter H.
Page, the United States Ambassador at
London. II sets forth that it being
necessary for the British Government
to have plenty of time In which to
make full reply 1t has been thought
advisable to transmit a preliminary
statement for the purpose Of clearing
the ground.
Awaiting Full Reply.
At the White House it was stated
that the President would make no
comment on the reply.
The only formal comment made was
contained in brief statement by Sec
retary Bryan, who said:
This answer being preliminary and
not being intended as complete
reply. we will postpone comment until
the full answer is received"
| II is regarded as obvious. however,
from the tone Of the note that Eng
land desires to have considerable cor
respondence on the subject. On the
other hand, it is stated that the State
Department already has under con-
sideration stronger protest with re-
gard to ship seizures which have more
recently occurred.

subway occurred during the morning
rush hours when 700 passengers in
two stalled trains were stricken with
panic in the darkened tubes By the
dense smoke and acrid fumes from a
short -circuited cable.
IN the ensuing struggle to escape
some 200 persons were injured one, a
woman, fatally. Others were overcome
and were rescued, unconscious, by
police and firemen, while scores
struggled to the street. unnerved or
hysterical, their clothing torn and
faces blackened by smoke.
AS the result of the accident, the
city at night was in the throes of a
transportation blockade without paral-
lei in its history. Not until late in
afternoon was a wheel turned again
in the subway and at that time only a
limited local service was in operation.
