British Statistics

The British statistics were brought
forth TO argue that American COM
merce with neutrals had not suffered
as seriously as -hau been reported, but
administration officials here contend
that one Of the chief purposes of the
American protest was to prevent deple-
ton of American commerce by contin-
uation of British practices. The Amer
lean note, they said. was framed with
the very idea of forestalling destruc-
ton of American trade. Figures cited

May Give Out Statistics

Its not unlikely that before the Ameri-
can reply is finally sent the state de-
pa-tment will give out statistics showing
when and where American ships have
been detained
II is admitted at the State Department
that the action Of some American export
ers and ship masters has placed the Brit
ish in possession Of a strong argument
in favor Of its present position. But
with the recent arrangements for having
outgoing cargoes loaded under the in
spection of treasury officials and with
the system of licenses which the British
note states has been arranged to insure
rubber and perhaps wool exported srom
America from reaching Germany and
Austria, officials are inclined to believe
that the way soon will be open for a
completely satisfactory understanding
between the two governments in regard
to the treatment of neutral shipping and
they are encouraged in that belief by
the frank and responsive tone OF the
British note.

the note of Sir Edward Grey, giving
Great Britain's preliminary reply to
President Wilson's protest concerning
the treatment Of American commerce
by the British fleet.
While gratified that Great Britain
admits the Justice Of practically all
the principles Of International law
cited in the American note, officials
reiterated today that the chief diff
Guilty had been Englands neglect to
make her actual practice square with
the previously accepted rules Of inter-
national law.

here as proving that the bulk of Ameri-
can commerce was of a legitimate char
acter and had yielded only 45 doubtful
cases. There is no mention made in the
British note, on the other hand, OF the
large number Of American ships which
were detained. some Of them for two
weeks, for extended examination. In the
next communication which the United
States will send to England as a rejoin-
der to the British view that ships mus s.
be taken into ports for examination in
stead of being searched on the high seas
is expected to be vigorously disputed
There is some doubt. not infrequently
expressed here among officials. whether
the practice of the British fleet practical
ly blockading the high seas instead of
the German ports themselves is not con
trary to the fundamental principle OF a
blockade.

PAIGE Chief Home
FROM circle SWING

Harry . Jewett, president Of the
Paige Detroit Motor Car Company.
has returned from an extensive east
ern trip, during which he visited all
the important Paige distributing
points. Mr.. Jewetts purpose was to
meet as many OF his dealers as pos
sible and to outline to them PERSONAL
ly present conditions and future plans
and also 10 explain the new and great
or resources OF the Paige plant and
organization which will not only make
the doubling Of the output possible.
but which will assure every dealer ini-
mediate deliveries from now on.
Mr.. Jewett. on this trip was parti-
cularly anxious that his men in the
field understand thoroughly the deyel-
opments made IN the Paige plant
during the last six months and what
the new factory additions. the install
latiOn of modern time and labor saw
ing machinery and the adoption Of
new systems will mean 10 the indivi-
dual dealers whose business success
and protit-making possibilities depend
so materially ON the prompt filling Of
his order schedules. Mr.. Jewett
guaranteed his dealers tnat from now
ON they could count on prompt deli
veries OF all orders.
Mr.. Jewett returned to Detroit filled
WIN enthusiasm over the outlook Of
the new year, and with the spirit
which he found animating his dealers.
He is more thoroughly convinced than
ever before that the Paige will need
all its additional manufacturing re-
sources 70 meet the rapidly expanding
Paige market.
