London Confused Over the Note.


Some confusion. it seems, has been
caused in London by the manner in
which Ambassador Page presented the
American note regarding shipping
rights. 1t appears that shortly after
the arrival of the text. which was in
code form. the American representa-
tive informed Lord Haldane. the acting
head Of the foreign Office. that such a
note was in hand and was being de-
coded. That was on Monday, and on
that night the State Department an
nounced that the communication had
been dispatched and issued a summary.
1t was not until some time on Tuesday
that the DECIDING was completed. and
the ambassador sent the text Of the
instructions to the foreign Office by
messenger, departing from the usual
manner Of presenting formal important
communications. which are ordinarily
delivered in person after q definite ap-
pointment for. the purpose. Sir Edward
Grey, the minister Of foreign affairs,
did not return from his Christmas holi-
day vacation until Wednesday morning,
and meanwhile the London papers had
published the arrival and delivery Of
the note and the foreign Office issued
a statement that no such note had been
received. This was justified because Of
the fact that through the unusual man
ner OF delivery the responsible chiefs
Of the establishment were not aware Of
its arrival This led to confusion. and
some discussion has resulted in the
public prints Of London. possibly in
volving the suggestion that the United
States government acted discourteous-
ly in publishing the nature of the note

endeavors, practiced by American ship
pers. This country can only exercise
a reasonable degree of supervision over
the character of cargoes sent from
this country. after proclaiming the con-
ditions agreed upon between the pow
ers respecting contraband, absolute and
conditional. The responsibility for the
destination of cargoes shipped to Eu-
rope with respect to their nature as
contraband rests upon the consignee
nations.
The European countries adjacent or
in proximity to the war zone have
adopted certain regulations which are
supposedly effective in preventing the
transshipment Of goods through their
territories to Germany and Austria,
these being the powers directly affect
ed by the embargo founded upon the
British and French control of the seas.
The United States cannot be held in
any degree accountable for violations
of those national rules. Nor does Great
Britain undertake to hold this country
so responsible In this respect the
American note simply declares that
American shippers who honestly con-
form to the rules Of contraband should
not suffer through detentions and seiz-
ures because of suspicious which may
have been aroused by practices in the
of consignment in other cases.
The American note is couched in such
terms and involves such issues that an
otherwise than friendly and adjudica-
tory reply is not conceivable. Out of
the correspondence should come a bet
ter understanding Of both American
and British rights and the rights Of
all neutrals and all belligerents in re-
spect to ocean trade. So long as the
discussion Is continued In the spirit in
which 1t has been formally begun there
is no danger Of International friction,
and out Of 1t must come an improve
ment in commercial conditions through
q more exact definition Of the British
policy and practices

The American Note to Great Britain

The full text Of the American note
to Great Britain, which has just been
published by the State Department,
contains no surprises. 1t conforms to
and confirms the summary issued the
other day simultaneously with the de-
livery Of the note to the British gov
ernment. 1t is couched in amicable
terms. in a spirit of inquiry more
strongly than in protest, while setting
forth certain propositions that the
United States considers unassailable. 1t
leaves ample ground for friendly re-
ply. such a reply as 1t is fully expected
Great Britain will submit.
The issue mainly involved in this note
is the right Of the British government
to remove neutral vessel from its
course to a belligerent port for exam
ination in the absence of prima facie
evidence of absolute contraband The
United States grants the right of search
on the high seas. but contends that this
right does not include the detention
of vessels which are not positively dis
covered, upon examination, to be car
riers of prohibited articles of COM
merce. 1t is extremely doubtful II Great
Britain will deny this proposition. It
is more likely to admit that infractions
Of the international rule in this respect
may have been committed. which in
the circumstances are perhaps pardon
able and for which 1t will be willing
to pay on proper adjustment Of dam
ages.
= On the point Of conditional contra
band there Is room for discussion be-
tween the two governments. The
United States cannot. ana probably will
!, not. undertake to Justify the devices
Of American shippers who seek to
evade the neutrality laws by the ship
ment OF contraband goods to belliger-
ents under disguise or through false
consignments. On the other hand Great

Dangers of the City Streets.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

FVfII eHe H1fuuSITfIfH
There will be surprise that the deaths
by automobile accidents in Philadel.
phia reached the high-water mark dur
ing 1914. The total, so far, is fxed al
ffty-nine, which is higher than in any
year since the automobile has come
into general use. On the other hand.
ffty-eight persons were killed by troll
ley car accidents, as against seventy
three in 1913. During the year we have
had quite a campaign in the interest OF
the safety first" movement, and 1t was
fondly expected that there would be a
decrease in fatal accidents all along
the line. That this is not the case is
probably as much the fault of pedes-
trians as of the drivers of cars In
any event, the figures for the year show
the need of further education along
the lines Of self-protection and the
safety first" idea.

Whitman.

Gov. whitman takes the reins. The
people Of New York having turned to
him. he begins the task assigned in
good earnest.
Here Is man with an exceptional
opportunity. He has proved faithful
over a few things. and, as reward, has
been set over many. II he proves faith
full over them, he will have a chance
to be set over more. That is to say, If
he succeeds in his present office as
well as in the one he has just Quilted
he Will become very strong candidate
for his party's nomination for Presi-
dent; and. as matters now appear, the
man who gets that will stand an excel
lent chance to see the inside of the
White House.
Reform is the watchword in New
York. 1t is no party cry. Everybody
sees the mess which recent democratic
control has produced, and everybody
wants it cleaned up. Many democrats
voted for Mr.. Whitman because of a
conviction that he possessed both the
spirit and the ability to perform the
work; and they will support him in
every step he takes with that object
distinctly in view.
Naturally. Mr.. Whitman's opportunity
recalls the one Mr.. Tilden enjoyed
forty years ago, and improved so well
he became two years later his party's
candidate for President. He cleaned
foul house at Albany so thoroughly
and SO well that the applause of the whole
country followed; and at st. Louis in
1875 he had an easy victory over a fine
field Of aspirants for the democratic
presidential nomination. The man who
had reformed New York led all the
rest.
Mr.. Tilden's opportunity came to him
later in life than Mr.. whitman's has
come to him. Still, it found him with
the necessary physical strength, and
with a very broad and deep knowledge
of public affairs. He had long been a
national figure. though never before
an aspirant for Office. He had con-
tented himself with advising his party,
state and national, and writing some
OF Its platforms. He was a man of wide
knowledge, and a writer Of unusual
force on political topics. He grasped
the situation at Albany readily, and
dealt with 1t firmly.
With less fame and experience, but
yet with demonstrated capacity for af-
fairs In parochial field, Mr.. Whitman
takes hold. and has a task which will
test his grasp. his tenacity and his
Judgment. The general public wishes
him success. II he does succeed, there
will be much more for him to do even
If he misses the presidency. For the
man who cleans up New York now will
establish himself well and for a long
time In the confidence and admiration
OF the people Of that state. and will
probably be called by them to other pub
lie duties.

Britain. Apparently, however. the Lon
don foreign office has no such thought
nor is there any disposition there to
question the propriety of Ambassador
Pages method of presentation. He was
plainly seeking to secure the prompt

is unfortunate if through the pecu-
liarities of foreign Office routine any

Italy at Aylona.
From the Providence Journal.

froM tne ProVldence J0ufnel.
Italy explains that her action in put
ting 700 sailors with artillery and
machine guns ashore at Avlona is for
the purpose Of safeguarding order and
defending the Inhabitants, but every
body knows that the government at
Rome would like to maintain its foot
hold on the east side of the Adriatic,
and almost everybody expects 1t to do
SO. at least for some time to come.
Avlona guards the entrance to the
Adriatic and has a fine harbor. It is
only few miles distant from the Ital-
Ian shore and could be made into i
second Gibraltar. The Albanian upris-
Ing against Essad Pasha furnishes
Rome with an excuse for the present
expedition, but it is only an excuse
after all. Italy has long had her eye
on this attractive and strategic prize.

The Gospel of Out of Doors.
rom the Minneapolis Journal.

John Muir has done greater service
to all the people, and will be missed
more by the whole country, than men
Of science who may stand higher in
its records. John Muir in the west and
John Burroughs in the eaSt have min.
gled with the dry science OF earth
life and history the sentiment of out
Of doors and the poetry Of universal
life. Their sense of the romance OF
science has fostered a broader and
deeper appreciation of the common
sympathy of human and animal, plant
and past earth life than the dry study
of the biologists and geologists on one
side. or the misleading sentimentalism
of the animal takers in literature On
the other. They have brought the
feeling of out of doors home to stu.
dents without repelling them with flc-
tion, and to all humanity without lead
ing it away from truth

Motor Buses Multiplying.
From the Toledo Blad,

From the Toledo Blade.
In addition to lines already in opera
tion. three new lines Of motor buses
were put into service in New York this
month. 1t is plain that these buses
have made good there, and that must
have been the harder because city
has been developed
inNew York and more money has
been put into the business than in any
other community in the world. Ac-
cording to Automobile Topics, motor
buses in some parts Of the country are
being successfully operated in direct
competition with the street cars.

An open up his Ibraggin. jes' to hear

Nor explanations as to why the couu-

are laid upon the shelf.

 Bids for nine room addition to the city normal school, Clinton ave nue, were received last night The estimated cost, exclusive of archi- architects fee, is $64, S04.
 To meet the drastic requirements of more school facilities strenuous eff fort will be made by the board of education. At the meeting last night, it was voted that a committee be dele gated from the board to wait upon the mayor in common council to set forth the needs of the city, especially as to land and buildings.
