lean representations against inter-
ferences with neutral commerce re-
jeet entirely the contention that the
orders-in-eouncil are Illegal and Just
ify the British course as being who'll
ly within international law.
"Unsustainable either in point OF
law or upon principles Of interna-
tional equity" is the British reply to
the American protest against the
blockade of neutral ports, with an
invitation to submit to international
arbitration any cases in which the
United States is dissatisfied with the
action of British prize courts.
Conditions Of Warfare Changed
Great Brltains reply, embodied in
two notes, one supplemental, was
made public here last night and In
London simultaneously by agreement

steamer Nechez, seized by the Brit
ish while en- route from Rotterdam to
the United States with goods OF Ger
man origin All the correspondence
aggregates 1000 words.
Changed conditions Of warfare, the
British note contends, require a new
application Of the principles Of in
