THEY DON'T LIKE THE NOTE
English People Outspoken in Their
Criticism of President Wilson's
Latest Communi cation.

London, Nov. 9.-England is resent
full of the tone of President Wilson's
note concerning the British blockade
of the German coast
Comment by the man in the street"
today is far more outSpoken to this eff
feet than were the newspapers. The
latter, while vigorously defending the
blockade and deploring what they term
the harsh" wording of the communi-
cation, are careful to explain that no
serious trouble is to be expected be-
tween the two countries, and seem
hurt rather than angry at the Ameri-
can chief executives attitude Indi-
vidual utteranceS, however, are bitter.
The popular view, if it is correctly
refrected by what is to be heard on
the street and in shops and offices, is
that the President had the "hyphenat-
ed vote" clearly in mind in what he
said, that he puts American profits
much higher than vital British necessi-
ties, and that the most reSolute an
swer ought to be returned to the effect
that England does not propose to be
hampered in its life and death strug-
gle by consideration for America s
overseas trade.

country's previous biggest corn crop
and AIS million bushels more than
last year.
Inmates said:
The preliminary estimate of corn
productionds about SIS million bushels

Rome, Nov. 10.-The Italian liner

New York, Nov. 1O.-The Ancona

ian reservists and a general cargo.
She arrived at Naples October % and
was due to sail from Naples for New

The Ancona was built at Belfast in
1908. She had a gross tonnage of

eight feet beam.
All Of the Crew Italians.
When the Ancona left New York on
her last voyage from here on October
II she was in command of Capt Pietro
Massardo. All of her officers, engine
room force and members of the crew
were Italians.
For several months before ItaIys en-
trance in the war the Ancona was en-
gagged in carrying home Italian reserv-
lists from this country and supplies for
the Italian government.

of the Italian Line, tonight character

Washington, Nov. 10-News of the
sinking of the Ancona caused a sensa-
ton here tonight, as it was regarded
as foreshadowing a new controversy
between the United States and Aus
tria similar to the critical dispute with
Germany that followed the torpedoing
of the Lusitania.
Before making any comment, how
ever, officials awaited information on
two points-whether the vessel was
torpedoed without warning and wheth-
er any Americans were among the
victims.

Thought Umbrellas UnmiIitary.

-
Umbrellas and khaki seem a most
unlikely combination; yet one in
stance is recorded of British soldiers
taking their umbrellas into action. ac-
cording to the London Chronicle. On
December 10, 1913, during the battle of
the Niye, the Grenadier guards cap
tured a redoubt outside Bayonne.
While they were in possession of this
Wellington passed by and noticed that
the officers had umbrellas up to pro-
tect themselves from the heavy rain.
He sent back his aide-de-camp,
Lord Arthur HILL. to tell them that
the duke does not approve of the use
of umbrellas in action. The guards
officers may, if they please, carry UNI
brellas even in uniform when on duty
at St. James; but in the field it is not
only ridiculous, but unmilitary."
