WILL UPHOLD NEUTRAL RIGHTS
America Cannot Farther Tolerate In
reference with Its Shipping, Eng
Iish Government Is Told

Washington, Nov. S.-The United
States in its latest note to Great Brit
ain. made public here today, covering
exhaustively British interference with
American trade since the beginning of
the European war, declares that the
so-called blockade instituted by the
Allies against enemy countries on
March IL, is ineffective, illegal and
indefensibIe" Notice is served that
the American government cannot sub
NIT to the curtailment of its neutral
rights" and it cannot with compIa-
cence suffer further subordination of
its rights and interests"
Ambassador Page, to whom the note
was sent by special messenger for de-
livery to the London foreign office,
was instructed by Secretary Lansing
ITO impress most earnestly upon the
British government that the United
States must insist that the relations
between it and his majeSty'S govern
ment be governed, not by policy of
expediency, but by those established
rules of international conduct to
which Great Britain in the past has
held the United States to account
when the latter nation was a belliger-
ent engaged in struggle for national
existence"
Declaring the United States %4unhes-
itatingly assumes" the task of cham
pioning the integrity of neutral rights,
the note proclaims that the American
government viii devote its energies
to the task, exercising always an inn
partial attitude.
The note, nearly fifteen thousand
words in length, was made public by
agreement between the State Depart
ment and the British foreign office.
1t carries with 1T a voluminous appen-
dix, giving the text of American naval
instructions issued in 1862 and a sum-
mary and table showing hundreds OF
vessels detained by British authorities
since the beginning of the present
war
The body of the note is divided into
thirty-five points, dealing with all
phases CT the contraband question,
seizures and ietentions, prior to, as
well as after, the So-caIled blockade
was instituted and announces that
separate communication will be sent
soon dealing particularly with the
"propriety and right of the British
government to include in their list of
contraband of war certain articles
which have been so included

KITCHENER ON WAY TO INDIA
Washington Hears that British Com
mander-in-Chief Will Try to Pacify
Oriental Empire

Washington, Nov. 10.-Earl Kitch-
ener's ultimate mission during his
mysterious absence from the British
war office is said by confidential in
formation received here today to be
India.
According to the same information
British rule is confronted with more
serious state of unrest in India than
has generally been known outside of
British official circles.
Through the thick veil which the
British censorship has thrown about
the events in India and Egypt comes
a statement that Nawab. Sultan u
Mulk, the Nizam of Hyderabad, one of
the most influential of the native
princes and stauuch supporter of tkr
British, has been dcposed by his peo-
Pls.
This development, coming as one of
the climaXes to successive reports of
mutinies and unrest, many of which
have been substantiated and admitted
by the British government, is said to
be the leading reason for Earl Kitch-
ener's departure from England.
Coupled with repeated rumors of
activities of German agents fomentfng
discomfort among the native popula-
ton of India have come reports of dis
affection in Egypt also ascribed to the
same sources.

no rioting, such as was the case on
its first production in several other

The successful reproduction of
