December IS last, asked for an early
Improvement in the treatment of Amer
lean commerce by the British fleet. was
made public tonight Ey mutual agree
ment between thc State Department

The note. addressed to Ambassador
Page. by Sir Edward Grey, under date
of February 10, denies that the de-
preston In American Industries is due.
to the activity OF the British fleet, anu
suggests, among other causes, the
shortage OF shipping facilities, the con-
scquent diminution OF cotton trade and
the destruction OF many neutral ships

The communication contains the an
nouncement that Great Britain intends
to take rctaliatory measures against
the German submarine campaign on
enemy ships. but does not reveal their
nature.
NO CLEAR LINE WHERE

for the civil population OF n country

ernment points out that in any coun-
try infwhch there exists such tremen-
dous organization for war as now OBJ

German government of their intention

a chance OF saving their lives has
made 1t necessary for His Maiesty's
government to consider what measures
they should adopt TO protect their in
terests.
1T is impossible for one belligerent
to depart from rules and prccedents

OF several weeks ago. the new note is
about 10000 words long. and includes
not only statistical argument but a
