of these Is the American caveat or July

The second point had to do with the

Neches June "a.
The ship was on the way from Rot
terdam to New York with "A cargo OF
non-contraband. The British Govern
ment asserted the right to stop any
goods from being exported the sale or

1t il believed the British Foreign Office
felt II necessary to supplement the
original note by an argument extending
the claim to cover the case of goods eN-
ported from the enemy country through
a neutral port.
According to the British view, Ameri-
can trade. instead of losing, has grown
enormously since the beginning of the
war.
That America received a fair supply
of goods from Germany Notwithstanding
the war Is shown. the British Govern
ment holds, by the fact that in eight
months the imports from that country
TO the United States aggregated $50
600, 900. The import Of dyestuffs from
Germany also was greater than the
previous year.

American steamship Leelanaw said at
Aberdeen to-day that he and his crew

ously than they were by the commander

been met by one OF the Leelanaw's mess

that there were no details to give.

that no other course was open to him,
as the cargo consisted OF contraband. 1t
was suggested that he might throw the

was not in the habit of doing his work
that way. Several OF the submarines
crew had been in America and spoke
English.
The first officer. J. Lonsdale of New

anxious to know the contents OF the

them himself. The submarine had Ger
