answer to the American protest against
interference with neutral shipping by
the British fleet, which State Depart

ing. About 5000 code words have been
received, and as it is understood that
twice as much more is to come it prob
ably will be two or three days before

Grafton by Secretary Bryan.
Beyond the fact that this supplementary
note is generally an expansion Of the
arguments briefly set out in the pre-

empire.

were intended for the armed forces of
the enemy or the enemy government
