LANSING USES STRONG TERMS
IN HIS MESSAGE OF PROTEST
Declares This Country Cannot Permit
'Unwarranted Interferences-Grey
Hopes to Reply Ere Long.

The text Of Americas formal protest
to Great Britain against interference
with American mails, and of Great Brit
aims ad interim reply. was made public
at the Stater Department yesterday.
In the note of protest, dated January
4, the United States demanded dis
continuance of these unwarranted inter
ferences," and Ambassador Page was in
structed to Impress upon Sir Edward
Grey the necessity for prompt action in
this matter"
The British Foreign Minister makes
reply that inasmuch as the American
note raised important questions of prin-
ciple affecting not only Great Britain
but her allies, the British government
fnds II necessary to consult with these
allies before making definite answer.
Hope is expressed by Sir Edward Grey
that he will be able shortly to make more
definite response.
The American protest draws a careful
distinction between the action OF the
British authorities in seizing and detaIn-
ing parcel post Packages, and the seiz-
ing and detaiuing ordinary mails-a
prsctics which II describes as "veXa-
tiously inquisitoriaL" Parcel post ar
being subject to the same treatment as
express or freight in respect TO belliger-
ent search, seizure and condemnation.
Blockade Order Illegal.
At the same time. Great Britain is
informed that inasmuch as the United
States has already disputed the Brit
ish order in council affecting neutral
trade and has refused TO recognize the
all previous protests of this country
in regards to what constitutes the
unlawful practice of taking ships into
ports for search, rather than search
ing them on the high seas. the illegal
ity of the so-cslled British blockade
and the improper assumption OF ju-
risdiction of vessels and cargoes by
the British prize courts, are intended
to apply with equal effect to the
seizures and detentions of parcel post
articles.
With respect to the seizures OF ordi-
nary mails between the United States
and neutral countries of Europe, the
protest indulges in sharp language.
Declaring that the United States can
not admit the right of British author
tiles to seize neutral vessels carrying
these mails, bring them into port, and
there remove or censor the mails, the
note reminds Great Britain that mod

These plans call for the seizure Of what
is known as the vital area, the portion

factories upon which the country would
depend in time Of war.

Col. Glenn added, however, that for

Key West, which would enable It to shut

The ease with which a irst-class power
might effect landing. in case OF the

Col Glenn by the statement that on the
eastern shore of the United States there
are 116 landing places between Boston
harbor and the Chesapeake.

that we are in any more danger OF
attack from Germany than from any
