Protest Note
To England Is
Most stEmphahc

WASHINGTON. Nov. AT the in
stance of the British embassy. copies
of the latest American note TO Greal
Britain protesting against interfer-
ences with neutral shipping will be
handed to the British ambassador and
the French ambassador in Washing
ton simultaneously with the delivery
OF the note by Ambassador Page TO
the British foreign Office. This is in
recognition OF the fact that France is
equally concerned with Great Britain
in the subject matter of the note. 1t
is learned that Secretary Lansing's
note contains some sharp passages and
Is very emphatic in condemnation and
protest against several features of
British orders in council objection
is made particularly TO that part Of
the British order in council under
which cruisers have been diverted
from their voyages and detained for
long periods in British ports. Ameri-
can vessels bound for the neutral
ports OF northern Europe II Is held
under the general principles of inter
national law that while these vessels
might properly be stopped and
searched on the high seas. they should
not be taken to distant ports for ex-
animation at great loss TO the ship
owners unless the British authorities
posses information that absolute con
traband is included in their cargoes.
Though the issues are understood to
be strongly presented by the United
states. they are not regarded as be-
yond the reach of diplomatic treat
ment at this stage.
The American note has been sent
TO London by special messenger. and
probably will be delivered TO the for
eign office by Ambassador Page this
