Belligerent, and is Willing
to Pay Damages When
the Action Exceeds This
Principle.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan 10.--The text of
Great Br1tain's preliminary reply to
the United States shipping protest
was given out here tonight The note
says the protest Is being given careful
consideration and 1t will be some time
before the detailed reply Is ready. The
,snote is counched in very conciliatory
terms recognizing the friendly spirit
in which the United States protest is
made
Great Britain concurs In the princf-
pie enunciated by the United States
that neutral shipping should not be
interfered with unless 1t is necessary
to protect q belligerent's national
safety and will endeavor to keep the
action within the limits Of this prin-
ciple. on the understanding that they
admit the right to interfere with trade
In contraband destined for the enemy's
country. England is willing to pay
when the action exceeds this principle.
Great Britain thinks a misconcep-
ton exists In regard to extent they
have interfered with trade and thinks
further consideration should be given
the question OF whether the United
States's trade with neutral countries
Is So seriously affected and cited

and Italy were far greater In Novern-
Der. 1914. than in November. 1913.
The statement admits tnat there may
have been decrease IN cotton. but
says Great Britain has been careful
not to interfere with cotton. She Is
prepared to examine further evidence

Britain and not the war and shrinkage
OF purchasing power tnat has had an
adverse affect on neutral trade.
INCREASE IN COPPER.
She cites the great increase in cop
per exports since the war. saying the
presumption " obvious that the metal
Ia intended for war use and says 1t Is
an imperative necessity to stop copper
destined for unneutral countries. She
admits foodstuffs should not be de-
tanned, unless for the enemy's gov
eminent and asks for proof to the
contrary.
The statement cites alleged fraudu-
lent practices by shippers to show that
a search in port 10 necessary and says
because cotton is on the free list that
cotton ships are selected to carry con-
cealed cohtraband. but no cotton ship
has been detained on this account
Great Britain believes the action Of
the United States In prohibiting the
publication of manifosts until thirty
days after the departure of vessels
from the United States must increase
the dificulty OF ascertaining the pres
enco of contraband and delay more
ships than had the former practice
continued.

Smallpox RACES
In Vera Cruz In
Epidemic Form
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Vera Cruz, Jan. 1O.-Smallpox has
made big Roadway in Vera Cruz in
spite of the efforts made by General
Auerbach, chief Of the sanitary work.
The presence of greater number of
troops and the impossibility of max
ing them conform to modern sanitary
regulations has resulted in a dfrtier
city than the residents have known
for years. General Auerbach believes
the comparatively cool winter weather
will make improbable the serious
spread, however, of any disease un-
less it is smallpox.
