new NOTE
President Wilson Wants Full
Statement From Great Britain.
Dissatisfaction Said to Exist in Wash
ington Over EngIand's Alleged
Dilatory Tactics.

Washington, March S.-When the
new note this government is said to
be about to send to Great Britain
reaches the London foreign Office it
is expected that Great Britain immedi-
ately will place before President Will
son comprehensive statement in re-
gard to her policy of paralyzing all
German commerce.
Great dissatisfaction exists in Wash
ington over the alleged dilatory tactics
shown by Great Britain in regard to
the recent inquiries of the United
States government. Nothing has come
from Sir Edward Grey in reply to
President Wilson's request for further
details as to the methods by which
England proposes to carry out her
new maritime policy
For this reason, it is said, the new
note will make clear that the United
States cannot view without protest in
fractions of international law to the
detriment of neutral rights on the
sea. The note, according to reports
in official circles. will avoid any direct
issue with the British government, but
will point out that the United States
is determined to know just what
hazards will be faced by American
commerce in carrying noncontraband
cargoes.
Officials avoided all comment as to
the note and the belief prevailed that
it will not be made public or even ac-
knowledged until after Great Britain
makes full reply to it.
President Wilson is in direct per
sonal charge of all the negotiations
and is diligently reading all the diplo-
matte correspondence that comes to
the state department.

LACK OF VESSELS
FOREIGN TRADE is GREATLY DE-
CREASED BY DANGER TO
STEAMERS.
Enormous Quantities of Merchandise
Await Shipment-Many Interests
Suffer by DisIocations.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New York-The great cross on bust
ness here is the lack of vessels to
carry freights and the uncertainty as
tc the fate of neutral vessels bound
to the ports of Western Europe, where
they are freighted. There are at va
rious terminals of this city and ada
cent thereto more than 5000 cars
loaded with wheat for export, and no
cargo space available in which to
place their contents. There are scores
OF exporters here unwilling now to
ship merchandise lest it never reaches
the consignees abroad. Since the re-
cent declarations of war on neutral
vessels by the allied belligerents and
the risks from the German subma-
rines have been extreme to our ex-
porters, there has been extreme anx-
iety as to the future of our foreign
trade. AS yet all the vessels that are
available have been loaded and dis
patched, but many transactions in pur-
chases that would otherwise have been
effected have been held up and cargoes
that would have been offered for ship
ment have been kept in waiting in
the hope that the protests of our ma
tional government would be able to
secure safety for shipment from this
country.
AS it stands all vessels available
have been loaded and our exports con-
tinue to record great gains, but those
gains would have been $20,000,000 at
least greater during February if YES
sells had been procurable and we had
freedom of the seas. The great dislo-
cations of business caused by the war
have fallen in larger numbers and in
many more ways upon this city than
upon any other city of the country.

FEAR A CHRISTIAN MASSACRE.

London.-The London Times Sofia
correspondent teiegraphs: "a friend
who has arrived from Constantinople
describes the city as panic-stricken
owing to the attack of the allied fleet
on the fortress line of the Dardanelles.
The presence of thousands of refu-
gees from the Peninsula of GallipoH
increases the prevailing alarm. It is
feared the appearance of the feet in
the neighborhood of the city may
prove to be signal for general mas
sacre of Christians.

LuII in Operations.

Although no official report had been
issued at the time this dispatch was
written, unofficial advices from Athens
stated that lull had fallen over the
operations in the Dardanelles. In the
meantime the international feet is be-
ing replenished with ammunition from
the British naval station at Malta and
the French naval station at Toulon.
Some military and naval experts ex-
press tho opinion that the fleet will
not try to smash its way any farther
eastward, but will content itself with
keeping the Turkish army engaged
while the Russian Black sea fleet can
attack the forts guarding the eastern
entrance of the .Bosporus. Dispatches
from Rome reiterated the news that
the Russian Black sea fleet, made
up of about fifty ships, was steaming
southwark at full speed toward Forts
Kilim and Poiraz, which guard the en-
trance of the Bosporus. Some of the
ships were said to be big transports,
carrying Russian troops. This indi-
Gated the possibility that the Russians
may try to land troops at Organli or
Karaburun for land operations against
the Turkish troops defending Constan-
tinople
German officers to Turkey.
A dispatch from Amsterdam says
that German officers are being sent to
Constantfnople from northern France
to help defend the Turkish capital.
They were under orders to get through
as quickly as possible and report to
Field Marshal Won der Goltz of the
German army who is directing the
preparations for the defense of the
Ottoman capital:
The Russian Black sea fleet regular
ly includes ten battleships, % destroy
ers, IA torpedo boats, IL submarines
and four gunboats, as well as subma-
rines and number Of smaller YES
sells. The Russian is far superior in
strength to the Turkish fleet, and
there is a strong likelihood now that
with the Anglo-French fleet holding
the Dardanelles and the Russians ly-
ing off the Bosporus, the Turkish
feet will be bottled up.
