 IS BIG SURPRISE


 WASHINGTON, June 25.-Omcial Washington received a surprise last night when the British memorandum. submitted to the State Department in reply to the American note regarding interference, by Allied war vessels, with neutral shipping not carrying contraband Of war, was made public.
 The note recites Great Britain's efforts to minimize the inconven- fence suffered by neutral commerce, resulting from the order in council against trade with Germany, Austria and Turkey" and asserts that Am erican citizens have no just grounds for complaint on account of the treat ment accorded their cargoes.'
 No attempt is made to answer the principles asserted in Che American note which originally protested the order in council and insisted upon the right of neutrals to carry on legiti mate commerce with each other and to trade in non.contraband of war with civilians in belligerent countries
 Great Bmtain's reply contended that no overt act had been committed against neutral cargoes, with the ex ception of these cargoes in which they suspicioned contraband of wal was lodged
 Everywhere the memorandum was received as a keen disappointment and speculation as to the tenor of the United States reply was heard on all sides last night Owing to the ab sence of President Wilson, his views on the reply were not made public last night.

AMERICAN CREDITS
 WORRYING EUROPE

NEW YORK. June 25.-Both Great Britain and France are urging holders of American securities to exchange them for government war loans so that the government can send them to the United States and pledge them as security for loans in this country in order to secure credits at Ameri- can banks with which to pay for war material that is being made in the United States. The low price of Eu- ropean exchange in the United States is today one of the hardest handicaps less Europe can arrange to secure very large credits in the United States at an early date. there must be very large gold shipments to this country. American banks are glutted with European exchange. and they have much larger balances in Europe than they have need for.
 American bankers have indicated to London and Paris bankers that they would welcome a greater liQui- dation of American securities as the demand in the United States would absorb them in large amounts without causing the market to decline mater tally g &-s
 European holders Of American se- curites are 10th to sell. however, for the reason that they desire to reap the profits that it is felt will come with marked advance in the prices of American stocks that is believed cannot fail to come soon.
