STUDYING BRITISH NOTE
Secretary Lansing Will Take Ample
Time to Examine Document Be-
fore Making Next Move.

The next move Of the United States in
the controversy over the blacklist of
American firms will not be determined
until officials have had ample time to ex-
anime Great Britain's reply to the Amer
lean note of July % protesting against it.
The reply reached the State Department
yesterday from the London embassy
Secretary Lansing last night refused to
discuss it and said he had not decided
when it would be-made public.
The note refuses the American conten-
ton which termed the blacklist IAN arbi-
trary interference with neutral trade.
but is understood to offer methods Of res
lief which may be available In some in
stances to lessen the rigors Of interfer-
ence.
An American reply is almost certain to
be made, based on the contention that
the blacklist violates the commercial
treaty of 1915 . that in singing out GER
tain American firms undue discrimina-
ton Is shown, and that an illegal action
is taken, designed to prevent trade with
Germany, an end which should be ac-
complished through blockade and contra
band restrictions. 1t may be argued that
the blacklist is designed to cripple firms
trading with Germany in order to destroy
German trade more than for the immedi-
ate purposes Of war.

NATURAL GAS SUPPLY
is NOW REPORTED SHORT
Manufacturers in Pittsburgh Dis.
trict Warned Situation May Elk
tend Throughout Winter.

PITTSBURGH. October 2s.-Manufac-
turers, who are paying the highest
prices ever known in the Pittsburgh
ditrict for coal and coke. when they
can get it, were further disturbed to-
day by an official notification Of an I'm
pending shortage OF natural gas that
may extenud throughout the winter.
So acute has the danger become that
they were advised to change their fur
naces so that some fuel other than nat
uraI gas could be used.
John G. Pew, president OF the Peoples
Fuel Gas Company, in explaining the
situation, said that in spite Of the extra
ordinary number OF wells drilled. pumping
stations built and pipe lines laid. tho
ply sufficient to meet the demands of
manufacturers during the cold weather
and still take care of domestic consumers
Most factories, he said. were operating
$50 per cent, and a gas supply that would
supply them in ordinary times was now
totally inadequate.
Under the terms OF the factory con-
tracts the company sells natural gas
with the right to discontinue when Il
is necessary in order that domestic
customers may not suffer. 1t was
stated by well informed gas men that
many Mills and factories whose fuel
contracts are confined to gas may be
seriously curtailed in operation. or may
be compelled to shut down entirely
as there is very little free coal in the
market, which could be bought at any
price.
