Washington, Jan. 1-Ambassado~
Walter Hines Page, in long report
from London, received today. following
his conferences with high officials
there, described the general attitude
Of the British government and the PEG
pie toward the American note of pro-
tect concerning shipping as entirely
friendly. He said that a reply had
been promised within a very few days.
The ambassador detailed the Brit
ish press criticism. whose tone, he
regarded on the whole, reasonable
and amicable. In some quarters not
among officials, he found a disposition
to search for motive behind the
American note. some Englishmen sug-
gestirg that the Washington admins
tration had been compelled to yield
gress. representing constituency vital
ly affected by the interruptions in trade
This portion of English public opinion
seemed to think that the American
note was intended to some extent for
home consumption.
High officials of the Washington gov
eminent pointed out tonight that there
was not the slightest foundation for such
a suggestion. as the note was not orig
inally intended for the press. 1t is un-
derstood that Ambassador Page had an
ticipated such mistaken impressions by
assuring the British government infor-
maliy that the United States was thor
oughly in earnest. The note was phras-
ed in a candid and frank manner, he is
understood to have explained, particular
ly because it was not written with the
idea of publication. AS the synopsis
leaked out. however, the ambassador had
been instructed TO arrange for the publ
cation of the complete text to satisfy the
desire for more information in both
countries.

Mr. McAdoo said that the board was
writing insurance up to S750.0000 on
cargoes of cotton to Germany, the
amount divided between vessels and
cargoes, and added that he under
stood that the regular marine insur-
ance companies were not writing poll

as reporting:
American and German companies are
doing their utmost to realize the exist
ing situation and to develop a suffi-
cient market to take care Of the
largest cargo. The German companies
have a very special reason for desiring
to do the utmost in this direction.
las far as marine insurance is con-
cerned, we must diHerentiate between
ships destined to German ports and
those to neutral ports with the pos

AS to the latter, the situation is prac-
