UNWARRANTED INTERFERENCE

UNWARRANTED INTERFERENCE
by Great Britain with the legitimate for
eign trade of the United States has culmin-
ated in a decisive note and warning from
this government to Great Britain
The note, insisting upon better treat
ment Of American commerce by the Brit
ish fleet, was prepared with great care, and
constitutes the strongest representation on
this subject made by this government to
any of the belligerents since the outbreak
Of the war. 1t will be formally presented
to Sir Edward Grey, British foreign secre-
tary, by Ambassador Page.
The document points out that complaints
on every side and public criticism in the
United States hold the British policy as
directly responsible for the depression in
many American industries, a situation the
seriousness of which must be apparent to
Great Britain. Feeling has been aroused
on the subject to such an extent, the com
munication adds, that the American gov
eminent feels compelled to ask for definite
information as to Great Britain s attitude,
in order that it may take such measures as
will protect American citizens in their
rights.
Since France has adopted practically the
same DEGREES on contraband as has Great
Britain the note is virtually statement

ALL DAYS ARE ALIKE to the fight
ting soldier in Europe. Christmas day,
today. every day-from his task Of killing
there is no respite
To the horrors of Staying are now adj
ded the hardships Of winter campaigning
The ground is frozen solid, and vast snow
drifts cover the battle fields on which the
Russians and Austrians are facing each
other.
The shifting front in Flanders is exper-
fencing greater hardships than along the
permanently entrenched line to the south
and through France to the Vosges.
There is no escape from the fierce winds
in many parts Of the battle fields, save as
the troops pile up vast snow shelters and
take refuge in huge snow-drifts.
The Western line Of battle now stretches
from the ocean to the Alps, and is practi-
cally at a deadlock For two months this
part Of the field Of war has been the scene
of the fercest fighting, the Germans at
tempting to break through the Allies line
in an effort to reach the French ports of
Dunkirk and Calais, and the Allies, up to
the present time, resisting with success.
Never before in the world s history have
such enormous forces confronted each
other on so long a line Of battle, and
never before have as many men been killed
and wounded in so short space Of time
as have fallen on this line of battle.
In the Eastern campaign, the Germans
though checked from time to time, have
made steady progress, and now have unit
ed the three divisions Of their army in one
line of battle only few miles from THEN
objective point-the Warsaw-Invangoroe6
line. About one-half of Poland is now il
the hands of the Germans This includes
the coal fields and important industrial
towns
Not much is heard from Turkey, which
entered the war on the side of Germany
and Austria on the 29th Of October, anc
whose efforts since then have been direct
ed principally against Russia.

This is the first time the British Isles have

rush in the recruiting Of English troops
and increased activity on the part of the

tacks of the kind
