Await Receipt of Reply.

Washington, Jan. S.-Secretary Bryan and other officials today await ed receipt of the British government ts preliminary reply to the recent Amer ican note on the subject of interfer- ence with shipping.
 At noon it had not been received, but officials expected that with prompt transmission it would be uncoded and before them by night.
 Not Completely Responsive.
 Conversation between Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British amba dor, Secretary Bryan and Counsellor Lan- sing have led the latter to believe the British government would recognize the emergency which existed, as indi- cated in the American note. It has been understood here that the reply would not be completely responsive; in the first place, because the legal propositions advanced by the United States, though not new, and in fact once partially accepted, have since been made subjects of controversy, and are not generally accepted as binding by all maritime powers. That applies particularly to the assertion of the right of cargoes of food and other contrabands of a conditional character, as well as to such absolute contraband as copper, where shipped to neutral countries through which it might reach a belligerent.
 Therefore, officials expect a separ- ation of these legal questions from the general representations for treat ment in the subsequent note which is to come in a fortnight.
 Against Needless Detention.
 The state department believes, how ever, that the preliminary British note delivered to Ambassador Page today deals with the American pro- test against needless detention and seizure of American cargoes, which have compiled with all the British requirements so far laid down. When the United States, without abandon ing it's contention in regard to the exemption of certain classes of com- merce from interference, gave its official sanction to the inspection Of outgoing cargoes by British consular officers and by treasury agents, it felt it had right to expect that ships thus laden would be permitted to pro- ceed without interference.
 It is believed that in the prelimin- ary note Great Britain has recognized the reasonableness of the American protest and has promised to reduce the annoyance to the smallest degree, particularly because it has virtually completed arrangements with the neutral states of Europe which will prevent American supplies from get ting through to Germany and Aus tria.

EurODcan Countries Lax.

Although Great Britain could not in terms charge any of the neutral nations with failing to execute their embargoes, it is understood here that the British government was sure that some of the smaller European states, for obvious reasons, had been lax and that quantities of American copper and food supplies actually had been going into Germany. Now, how ever, it is believed that the British government has succeeded in making satisfactory arrangements with those countries, and consequently, it is un- derstood the note will clearly indicate disposition to be more tolerant in the treatment of American cargoes though no pledge of absolute surrend- CT of the right of search is made.
