EARL GREY SENDS
ANOTHER NOTE
British Minister Asks that Commun-
ication Sent Monday Be With

DEVELOPMENT is SIGNIFICANT

WASHINGTON. July 37.-sir I'D
ward Grey cabled Secretary Lansing
today that the British government
has in preparation another note to
the United States on the orders-in-
council and asked that the e>note de-
livered yesterday be withheld from
publication pending receipt OF the
new Communication. Therefore, yes
terday's note will not be published
tomorrow morning, as had been
planned.
The nature of the note was not In
timated in Sir Edwards cable, but
State department officials assume II
II supplemental. The development
will further delay dispatch Of the
American note to Great Britain on
tthe same subject.
The message said the new note would
be here In week.
1 In official quarters the development
was regarded as highly significant The
belief prevailed that the last American
note 20 Germany with its references TO
the freedom Of the seas may have influ-
enced Great Britain TO place itself on
record as willing TO take under consider
alton any new suggestions by the United
States to the belligerents.
Sir Edward drey's request that the ncts
received yesterday be withheld was taken
70 mean at all events that a new situa-
ton had arisen. or that soma new pro-
posals we're about to be made TO alleviate
the effects OF the order IN council.
Secretary Lansing took occasion today
to deny reports that cotton was about
TO be placed on the contraband list by
Great Britain.
