j. 5, TO DEMAND
FREEDOM OF SEA
Note to England So Revised
as to Create Sharp
Issue.
NEW POINTS ARE RAISED
State Department Will Insist that
NEW POINTS ARE RAISED
State Department Will Insist that
American Ships Be Unmolested.
Arbitration May Result.

The receipt of Great Britain's latest
notes on neutral commerce has compelled
the State Department to revise the note
1t has had under preparation for some
time and to introduce in it several new
points.
The two most important features of the
note will be an exhaustive treatment of
Great Britain's enforced embargo on the
Scandinavian countries and Holland and
a sharp demand that American goods be
permitted to pass without molestation
to neutral ports.
The reply will say:
First-That when Great Britain forced
Denmark. Holland and the other smaller
countries to agree to an embargo 1t was
a confession that il was her only way
to prevent American goods going from
neutral ports into the enemy country.
Second-that the Order IN Council was
an Illegal subterfuge which sought to
transfer the obligation of the neutral
countries across the Atlantic to the
United States.
Third-That this subterfuge was mani
fest when Great Britain began to seize
American ships and cargoes bound for
the ports of neutrals.
Fourth-That the United States as
serts now for the last time that an Amer
lean ship and an American cargo, even
containing contrapand OF war, mas
right under all commercial laws to pro-
ceed, subject to the seizure of contraband
only. to any neutral port.
The official who outlined these i'm
portant new issues said that their pro-
mitigation would create a sharp and clear
cut issue with Great Britain and that
there would be no way out of such an
impasse except by arbitration because
Great Britain had announced her own
position as unalterable. That position,
he said. is necessarily arbitrary because
it cannot be justified by international
law, by the Declaration of Paris. by the
Declaration of London or by any OF the
Hague conventions.

MAY ARBITRATE DACIA CASE
Issue with France May Be Settled
in Unique Way

The act of France in confiscating the
American cotton steamer Dacia promises
to he the first issue between the United
States and any European country to
be settled by arbitration.
The principle involved is whether the
French law under which the vessel was
seized is contrary to the spirit OF In
terna tional law.
Some officials here think that. although
Great Britain first gave warning to the
United States about the Dacia, it was
by design of Great Britain that France
seized her because the law of France
permitted such seizure. The French mar
ltime law does not recognize the abso-
lutte right of the United States to grant
American register to a vessel such as
the Dacia. which was owned originally
by the Hamburg-American Steamship
Company, a German corporation.

The planting of mongrel seed is

as yet no great steps have been
made to remedy the condition. Each
farmer should pass resolution that
he will not waste time and energy
trying to make a crop with the
poor, inferior types of corn and
cotton and rice seed but that he
will endeavor to find some good
pure type that will give him fair
harvest and from that seed improve

President Likely to

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 1s-The President
feels that the situation IN Europe Is such

dent feels that he should not place him

LoNpoN, Jan. 1S.-Mr. Page, the Amer
can Ambassador, called at the Foreign
Office this afternoon II Ia understood
that the British Government will prob
ably reply Tomorrow to the request on
the part OF the United States for informa-
ton as to its attitude toward the former
German steamer Dacia. which was re-
Gently purchased by Edward ~ Breitung

The United States is understood TO
have asked II the Daca would be per-
mitted to deliver her cargo at Rotter-
dam or Bremen without establishing a
precedent or whether she would be per
mltted to proceed under bond, after she
had been seized. and allowed to deliver
her cargo.
The nature Of the British answer nat
urally cannot he given. but II is ex-
tremely improbable that the Government
will depart from it's attitude that II
must maintain an infexible position
against the Dacia engaging in trade with
the enemy. as otherwise a full gateway
would be opened for the wholesale transfer
OF other informed German ships
II may he taken for granted that "
the Dacia sails from Galveston for
