WASHINGTON. March 3l.-The storm,
which was raised by administration
officials over the British order in coun-
ell has apparently blown over.
Secretary of State Bryan said to-
night that there were no new develop
ments in the matter
There have been many consultations
ms TO the meaning and scope of the
allies blockade. and as TO It's vulner-
board. of which Dr. james Brown Scott
is chairman. and Admiral F'iske and
other naval experts. have been study
ing the international status OF the

has been reached. There is a GROWING,
disposition not to challenge the block

High officials indicated tonight that
perhaps il would he better to await the
seizure of some ship. This would de-
rclop the full extent OF the plans of
the allies. aad ut the same time give
a specific basis on which representa-
lions might go forward.
There IS reason 10 believe that the
change OF attitude from that of n few
days ago, which was one of angry pro-
test and zeal for immediate action. TO
one or watchtnl observation, is duo to
communications for further in orma-
ton which have been sent 10 Ambas =

All State Department officials have
taken the ground that Great Britain did
not answer categorically the questions
