} The note Of stIhe British government, dated July 31, supplem entary to the answer to the American note of March 30, is primarily 0 response to this ca veat telegranls In which notice was given of the intention of this govern ment to insist on the rights of Arneri- can citizens under the principles of international law hitherto established without limitation or impairment by Orders in Council or other municipal legislations and to refuse to recognize the validity of prize court proceedings taken under British municipal law in derogaJtio1 of the international law rights of American citizens.
 Sir Edward z Grey says he is not aware of any differences between the two governments as to the principles of law applicable to eases before the prize courts, and then discusses prize court procedure at length, quoting Lord StoWel1 in the case of the Fox to show that a prize court must care for the interests of subjects of other countries as well as for the interests of it's own government, but that the court must assume that there is no violation of the rights of the subjects Of other countries in orders which it receives from its own government.
 Wiling to Find Way.
 Sir Edward Grey then makes the suggestion that if appeals open to dis satished American litigants in the prize court are denied by British ap- pel1ate courts an international tribun- al shall be called on to decide The United States and Great Britain, ale says have both conceded that the de- cisions tioIaI prize courts may. properly be subjected to int nternatipnaL reviesv by :tIles Jay F1sssUty of 17sss and the Treat Of w ash 1g tensof IS Fl. It.
 
 governme have adEopfed the prin- cipIe that the decisions of a. national prize court may be open to review in certain ci circuIn stancess but if : the. United States sh euld take a contrary view Great Britain would be prepared to nego9iate with the United States as to the best means of procedure to apT ply the principle mentioned. But Sir. Edward Grey E hopes that the British willingness fo make concessions will obviate necessity for this procedure.
 The compulsory discharge of the Neches cargo because it came from bel1igerent terrt dry held by GerInany is made cause for complaint in the American note Of July IS. The 1e- gality of the seizure is disputed on several grounds, ann ong them that it violates the ri gtat of the citizens of one neutral country to trade with those of another. This governm ment calls for the expeditions release of the goods taken from the Neches which belong 10 American citizens
 Tn his response Sir Edward Grey mentions the difference between the character Of the sea. warfare of Great Britain and Germany as Justihcaffon for not Permitting goods from Ger many to pass freely through waters icontrolled by British waayhips. but expresses a willingness to examine the facts in a spirit of eonsideration- Presid dent Wilson Is expected to re- turn to Washington on Monday to con- l suIt with Secretary Lansing and oth- CT members of the Cabinet with refer ence to. the character of the response to be made to the several cornnuntca- tions of the British goyernInent.

 It appears that the ground advanc- ed to sustain this action is that the goods originated in part at least,~in Belgium. and fall, therefore, within the provisions of Paragraph 4 of the

CUT AT BERLIN PICNIC.
Hundreds Follow Bleeding Man
 Through Principle Streets.

Several hundred men and boys dashed wildly up Main and West Main streets and into Washington street early last evening in the wake of one John Debowski of 103 Orange street, who was vending his way home bleeding profusely from a bad 1y lacerated scalp: Officers Walenc- zius and Atwater burst through the crowd and took the victim to the po- lice station where his wound was dressed by pr. Joseph Walsh.
 Debowski told the police that he had been assaulted with a bottle at a picnic in Berlin where half dozen men were engaged in a fight. He did not know who hit him and claimed to have walked home. His blood soaked clothing made him appear in much worse condition than he really was.
