[ANSING'S NOTE
To ENGLAND
HOT ONE
Protest Of the United States to
England and Allied Nations on
Recent Order in Council Con-
demnS Recent Practices.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-At the in
stance of the British embassy copies
of the note to England, against inter
ference with neutral shipping, will be
handed to the British and French am
bassadors at Washington simultane-
ously with the delivery of the note
by Ambassador Page to the British
Foreign Office, i'm recognition Of the
fact that France is equally concerned
with England on the subject matter.
The French Admiralty had adopted
British rules governing the seizure
and detention of neutral ships and
cargoes u is learned that Lansing's
note contains some sharp passages,
emphatic in its condemnation, and
protesting particularly, the British
order in council.
Objection is particularly made to
part of the order in council under
which boats have been diverted from,
and detained, bound for neutral ports
in Northern Europe. 1t is held that
under the general principals OF inter
national law the vessels might be
stopped and searched but not be taken
to distant ports for examination at
great loss to ship owners unless the
British possess information that they
contain contraband cargo.
Though it is understood that the
United States has strongly presented
it's case, it is not regarded as beyond
diplomatic treatment 1t was Init
mated in parliament by Sir Edward
Grey that the whole sbuject is rapidly
nearly a phase when peaceful ad
iustment will be made by means OF an
/ international commission. The note
probably will be delivered this week
