NEUTRAL SHIPPING TANGLE IS

Washington, Jnnunrs 2.-Whiie no word came from Ambassader Page to- day as to the ckarscter of the reply Great Britain Will make to the Amer ie-n protest agalnst4satcrfersnce with American trade, there were several de- veIopments in the general shipping sit- uation.
 The United States asked Great Britain for information as to whether the British statement in November that naval stores would be regarded as noncontraband would be reconciled in actual practice with the British notification of week ago that these products now are absolute oontraband. Information is sought as 70 what cargoes now en route are to be affected.
 The Italian ambassador informed the state department that while statistics would make it appear that extraordinary amounts of copper shipped from the United States to Italy might be for un- neutral purposes. the fact was that as Germany needed her own copper, Italy

WARSH|P SURVIVORS TELL 0F HARDSH|PS
FOrmidable's Crew Suffered Terribly From Cold and
 Exposure

London January 2.-(9:S0 p. m.)-Another cutter from the British battleship Formid- able, sunk in the English channel yester- day, has reached Lyme-Regis, Dorset shire, with 50 men, bringing the total of saved up to POI.
 When the cutter left the Formidable she had 60 or more men aboard. but all but 30 succumbed to exposure. having been in an open boat for some 20 hours in a violent storm.
 Albert Edward Cooper, master at arms, one of the survivors landed at Lyme Regis. said the explosion occurred be- tween 1:30 and 2:30 o'clock in the morning. When he reached deck the ship had begun to settle on the starboard side. Boats were launched and remained near the ship to pick up survivors. but some of the boats, which stood out about 20 yards, were swa amped by wreckage.
 The men were scantily clad and suffered terribly from the cold during the trip to shore. Some died during the day and were passed overboard. Upon the arrival of the cutter at Lyme-Regis at Il o'clock last night, six were found dead in the bottom of the boat.
 policeman on duty heard cries for help and going to the beach found the cutter with the men, none of whom could land without assistance. Some were so ex- hausted that artificial respiration was nec- essary.
 terrific southeast gale was blowing all the time, and although the men took turns at the oars, 1t was impossible for them to keep warm.

the British foreign office published the new edict.
 Although this phase of the sit,a ton was net specifically mentioned in the recent American note, 1t was generally uoder- stood to have heen a contributory reason for the dispatch of the document.
 COncealing Copper
 To prevent recurrence of charges that American shippers had been concealing copper and contraband articles in cotton an 1 other noncontraband cargoes, the fol- lowing formal notice. supplementary to President Wilson's warning of last week. was issued today by Secretary Redned:
 The attention of shippers of goods to neutral countries Is called to the im- portance of having manifests complete and accurate. It is essential as to avoid mixing 'oontraband goods In cargoes other wise not contraband. It is alleged that some American manifests have omitted certain contraband goods, also that efforts have been made to conceal contraband articles or to alter their appearance so that they will be allowed to pass
 "A single case of the kind is enough to embarrass all American commerce to neu- tral countries by throwing doubt on the correctness of our manlfests and on the neutral nature of our cargoes thus pos sibly involving delay through examining cargoes that otherwise would be avoided" !"

Paris, January 2.-6:15 p. m.)-The gen. eral commanding the Eighteenth German army corps has, according to the Paris Temps, issued this notice to his troops:
 Bullet proof armor of which various models have been placed on sale and &C., lively advertised does not give at all the protection promised. On the contrary. upon exposure to fire it ls shown that the armor becomes itself the cause of grave wounds to those wearing 1t. Besides. tho pieces of armor interfere with freedom of movement and make the soldiers work more difficult. It is necessary to issue this caution against worthless pur- chases."
