ARBITRATION IN NOTE
The State Department To Hold That
Great Britain's Course Is indie

Washington, Aug. l0.--Urged by Amer
lean exporters, the state department is
quickly completing its tentative draft of
an answer to the British refusal to cease
interference with American shipments to
neutral European ports.
In brief, it is understood, the British
will be told the American Civil war
blockade precedents they cited are not
in point. At that time, it will be as
serted, the United States government
held up no European shipments which it
did not know were intended, when
shipped, for the Confederacy. 1t will be
denied that there was any interference
with shipments to neutral ports, Nassau,
for instance, on the mere ground that
from them the goods might possibly"
reach the South. This latter thing, it
will be charged. is what the British are
doing when they hold up shipments from
the United States to such countries as
Holland or Denmark.
Arbitration will be declined on the
ground that there is no questionable
British course is indefensible, that the
British themselves always considered it
so until the present case arose. Accord
ingly, modification OF the order in
council will again be insisted on more
emphatieally than before.
The notes draft will be subject TO re-
vision by President Wilson, but it was
believed il will be dispatched

CONCERNED OVER
SEAMEN'S LAW
Wilson Studying Question, But Is Said
to Have Reached No
Decision.

Cornish, N. H., Aug. l0.-President
Wilson disclosed yesterday that he had
been studying questions raised regard
ing the seamen's law passed during the
last session of Congress. but that he
would reach no decision on whether any
action is necessary until after his re-
turn to Washington. An opinion rem
dered by the solicitor of the department
OF commerce to the effect that some
safety requirements under the law would
not apply to foreign ships coming to
American ports has caused officials some
concern. The attorney general has been
investigating the situation for several
weeks. The president was up early yes
terday and played eighteen holes of golf
with DIR. Grayson, his naval aide and
physician. Afterwards he returned to
the Summer White House" and began
work on correspondence and reports from
Washington on official business.
President Wilson received special de-
livery letter from Secretary McAdoo,
which was understood to relate to the
conference between Mr.. McAdoo and Sec.
rotary Lansing in New York Sunday
Members of the presidents party would
not discuss the letter. The president
is preparing to leave Cornish for Wash
ington this week, but the definite date
of his departure had not been set.
