FRANCE OPPOSES PLAN.
British Cabinet Divided and
scheme May he Aba nnd0ned.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.--Lukewarmness
on the part OF the French Government
toward the proposed British naval block
ade coupled with division of sentiment
I'm the British Cabinet itself. the State
Department has been unofficially ad-
vised. may result in an abandonment OF
the proposed new project
According TO the information which
has come informally to Washington from
Paris and London. IL Is by no means
certain that the blockade will be put
into operation. The Paris Foreign Of
fice, IL 10 said, Is frankly doubtful as TO
the " sdom OF further antagonizirG the
neutral countries and in both Paris and
London, there is a well defined opinion
that 1t Is impossible to starve out Ger
many and that in any new blockade the
game would not be worth the candle.
In view OF the delay on the part OF
Great Britain in proclaiming the new
blockade. officials Of the State Depart
ment are inclined To attach significance
70 the reports. They deny, however. that
Col. f.. NJ. House, President Wilson's
special envoy 10 belligerent capitals. has
made any reports on the subject.
Should the blockade he proclaimed.
however. high officials Of the Depart
ment let 1t be known this afternoon that
the United States would make no protest
until II has accumulated facts sufficient
TO prove the inenectiveness OF the block
ade. To that end II was stated the
American representatives In the block
ade area would be instructed to keep
careful tab on all shipments succeeding
in getting through the blockade line.
Tho State Department was advised to-
day by Ambassa Page at London that
the British Foreign ONCE has completed
a draft Of its answer to the American
note Of October 81 protesting against
detention OF American ships under the
British orders in council and has sub
mitted the draft to the French Foreign
Of'ice for approval.
Pending the receipt Of this note and q
f'nai determination by Great Britain re-
specting the proposed naval blockade II
was indicated at the Department this
afternoon that the American protest on
contraband may be held up; although
this, II was said. would not necessarily
be the case. IT was pointed out that "
the blockade were proclaimed all prod
ucts would he made contra band in so
far as Germany was concerned and II
the blockade were effective II would have
to be recognized by this Government
The Department is still without any
reply from Great Britain 10 It's protest
against British seizures OF letter mail
between the United States and neutral
countries In northern Europe. Am
bassador Page sent to the Department
to-day, however. a cablegram saying
that ne has been informed by the Brit
ish Foreign Office that mail and parcel
post matter detained by the authorities
and found to be innocent" is forwarded
10 the addresses Immediately. but that
all letters and packages detained are
sent 10 the prize court.
The United States has refused thus
far to join with any other neutrals in
taking action on war questions. and will
probably follow that course In regard to
the mail seizures, II is thought here.

There are vigorous representations by
both parties, none OF which have led to
anything as. yet, largely because OF the
untested questions involved.
One contention OF the Swedish For
eign Office is that n parcel, irrespective
Of the class of postage IT bears. Ia en-
titled to no more consideration than or
dinary freight. Another contention is
the right to censor mail on ships coming
voluntarily into English ports. which az
fects mail to Holland.
The first stand has not been directly
controverted by neutrals. although caus-
ing Swedish protests and retaliation.
The second is believed soon will be. ~
it is said to be impossible for Holland
