with neutral mails is regarded by officials as unsatisfactory principally because it deals With specific cases in- stead of principles involved.
 London, July 24.-The foreign office las published the text of the note handed to the American ambassador replying to certain American com- plaints against the British censorship of mails.
 The reply is confined to the few specific alterations made in the recent American nOte
 It Is stated that the formal answer to the general arguments advanced by the Washineton government is still under consideration by the allied gov crnmcnts, and will receive reply in due course.
 The two prin cipal cases referred to in the present m memOrandum are those of the Macniff Horticultural company of New York and the Standard Un- dcrground Cable company of Pitts burgh.
 The Macniff company complained of the loss of perishable goods owing to the detention by the censor of ship ping documents relating thereto
 The British government states that. so soon as the matter was brought to it's attention, it arranged to have a special mailbag for shipping papers which would be immediately censored, so that no delay would occur.
 Tn the case of the cable company, it is stated that "the government of the United States appeared to insinu- ate" that the delay in the mail of the cable company was directly con-
 
 competitor had obtained a contract for which that company had been tenderinc'
 ''Hls Majesty's government" the note continues, 'is astonished that such an insinuatiOn should be made, especially as the complaint from the cable company appears not to have been adequately examined"
 The memorandum goes on to show in considerable detail that tenders for the contracts referred to must have passed between the United States and l N orway on a date prior to that on | which the censorship of Scandinavian 1 mails began.
 After detailing other cases, the note continues:
 "The specific complaints do not l support the general charge against the 1 efficiency of the British censorship ! 
 His majesty's government will a1- ways be ready to explain in detail the working of the censorship, as there is nothing regarding it which they wish to conceal.
 "NIany complaints, when examined, proved to arise from badly directed letters, the irregular sailing of neu- tral mail boats and other causes en- tirely outside the control of His Ma jesty's government, and are often due to the action of enemies"
