FRANCE TO RECEIVE
PROTEST TO BRITAIN
viii Be Handed Copy Of u. s.
Note on Ship Detention.

Washington. Nov 8. At the instance
Of the British E,rbassy copies of the
latest American note TO Great Britain,
protesting against interferences with
neutral shipping, will be handed 10 the
British Ambassador and the French
Ambassador in Washington simultane-
ously with the delivery Of the note to
the British Foreign Office. France is
equally concerned with Great Britain
in the subject. having adopted the
British rules governing seizure and de-
tention Of neutral ships and cargoes
substantially without change.
Secretary LaHsing's note contains
some sharp passages, and is very en-
phatic in condemnation and protest
against several features of the British
Orders in Council Objection is made
particularly to that part under which
cruisers have diverted from their vOy-
ages and detained for long periods in
British ports American vessels bound
for the neutral ports of Northern
Europe. IL is held that under the
general principles of international law,
while these. vessels might properly be
stopped and searched on the high seas,
they should not be taken TO distant
ports for examination, at great loss to
the ship owners, unless the British au-
thorities possess information that abso-
lutte contraband is included in their
carCoes.

peace is further away to-day than
Il was a year ago" This declaration
sums up the view | have formed after
many conversations with representa-
tive persons. These, although regard
ing the Balkan developments as the
beginning Of the end, believe the final
phase Of the war will require a much
longer time to settle.
Germans frankly assert that they arc
winning and that therefore the making
of peace lies with their enemies when
the road to Constantinople is open they
can begin to strike at their real enemy
England. This they are now unable to
do, notwithstanding that country

English will quit with the first daring
attack upon their holdings outside OF

Cabinet Changes Please Germans.
Recent changes In European cabinets
have caused tremendous satisfaction IN
Berlin, but no one has whispered that
these changes portend peace, though
one point is much discussed neither
the new cabinets will be bound by the
agreements of their predecessors no'
- make a separate peace.
The recent signature of Japan TO TINS
agreement. however. passed with llttle
comment from Berlin newspapers, ana
is taken TO mean that the possibilities
of separate peace with Japan, ana
perhaps Russia, which might have been
likely several months ago. are gone

II appears from here as if the Allies

London, Nov B. The Russian forces,

before winter makes military opera
tons impossible, has been forced to
retire along the twelve mile front from
Lake Swerton and Lake l!scn, which

Russians still on the offensive. Berlin,
which admits the withdrawal in the

claim to An advance.
In Galicia, General lvanof, accord
ing TO Russian reports, has won an
other victory, capturing 5000 prisoners

Along the Styr the Teutons claim a
victory. Here, they report, General
Won Linsingen's forces penetrated the

in this sector, Berlin claims, has been
checked and Czar;orysk, its objective, is
safe for the moment at least.
