OFFICIALS NOT OPTIMISTIC
Great Britain'S Notes In Reply to The
American Protest Claim Right
TO Seize Trade Ships-NeW
Note to be Sent.

London, August diplomatic cor
respondence between London and
washington concerning delays to
American commerce and orders OF
Great Britain in council will be pub
lished here tomorrow morning.
The foreign Office explains that all
phases of the controversy except with
regard to cotton are covered in the
British notes, and that when de-
cision is arrived at on the cotton sit
uation a ne wnote probably will be
sent
Oficial circles here are not optim-
istic that the British replies Will emo
the shipping controversy, but 1t is
felt the negotiations will not come to
an impasse, as the government has
expressed it's willingness to submit
differences to arbitrationO an agree
ment is impossible.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1915-08-05

Washington, Aug. 3.-Britain's re-
ply to the latest American represent
ations against interferences with neu-
trail commerce, made public tonight,
rejects entirely the contention that
the orders in council are illegal and
iustifes the British course as wholly
within international law.
"Unsustainable either in point OF
law or upon principles of information
al equity is the British reply to the
American protest against the block
ade of neutral ports, with an invita-
,ion to submit to international arbi-
tration any cases in which the Uni
ted States is dissatisfied with action
of British prize courts.
The British reply is contained In
two notes. one supplemental. With
the notes was made public cores
pondence over the American steamer
Neches, seized by the British while
en- route from Rotterdam to the Uni
ted States with goods of German or
igin.
Changed conditions of warfare, th'
British note contends, require a new
application of the principles of inter
national law. The advent of the SUB
marine, the airship, alleged German
atrocities in Belgium, are cited al
justification for extreme measures
The blockade is justified on the con
tention that the universally recog
nized fundamental principle of
blockade is that belligerent is en-
titled to cut off "by effecti'e mean
the sea-borne commerce of his enc
N.Y."
The note reiterates that Great Brit

complained Of although not withou
every effort to avoid embarrassin
neutrals, and observes that America
