Land fighting which is sporadic In

scene of sanguinary fighting the past

SEIZURE OF AN
AMERICAN
The Brindilla, Whose Ar

Caused Diplomatic Cor
respondence, Has Been
Intercepted Off Scot
lands Coast.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Halifax, n. S., Jan. 2.-Word vas
received here today that the American
tank steamer BrindiIia, whose arrest
by a British cruiser and detention at
Halifax last October was the cause of
diplomatic correspondence between the
United States and Great Britain re-
sulting in the steamers release again
had been F~ercepted off the coast of
Scotland and taken into Aberdeen.
Maritime records show the Brindil!a
left Alexandria, Egypt. about Novem-
Der rs. She arrived at ST. Michaels.
Azores to take on a cargo Of oil from
a German steamer on December II
and was reported rs leaving ST. Mich
aels, December 20, clearing for CO.
penhagen.
The Brindi1la's first seizure off New
York last October resulted in a Wig
orous protest by her owners to the
American state department. She had
aboard a cargo of oil and was bound
ostensibly for Alexandria, Egypt. A
British cruiser conveyed her to Hall
AK.
The state department made repre-
sensations to the British government
which resulted in the Brindilla's re-
lease after she had been detained at
Halifax for about a week.
The reason given for the BrindilIa's
seizure last October was that it WAS
suspected she had aboard contraband
destined for Germany.

make TO the American protest
against Interference with Amsri-

The United States asked Eng

British statement of November
that naval stores would be re-

reconeiled in actual practice with
the British notification of week
ago that these products are now
absolute contraband.
The case of tho steamship Brin-
diIIa, originally detained in Hall
fax, re-arrested on her return
Journey from Egypt and taken to
a French port, is regarded as
likely to produce complications.
The communication of the state
department. sent today concerning
naval stores is said to be the first
protest on specific articles listed
by England az absolute contra

on American Note

comments at considerable length on
the American note to Great Britain
on the subject of shipping. This is
the most important document which
has appeared since the beginning Oh
the war, the paper declares, because
it is from the greatest power in the
world not involved in conflict. Neu-
trails nowadays must be in a position
to enforce their rights. This the United
States can do, for she has enormous
interests through the world and a for
midable fleet.
Fortunately, the paper says, Amer
lean interests are identical with those
of the smaller neutral powers. These
states can follow in the footsteps Oh
the United States. Should the neu-
trail powers of Europe join powers as
have done the countries OF Scanol~
nayia. for the protection OF their mari
time interests, their voice would De
more convincing. Experience shows
that observance of the rights of metz
tralitv is contingent upon the possess
sion Of material strength on the part
of the neutral powers to enforce their
