Washington, Nov, n. The British reply to the l2st American note pro testing against the British blacklist, made public tonight by the state de- T3rtmcht. denies lhat the rights of reulral traders under international law have been luIhlcssly cancelled, defines thc blacklist measure a a municipal regulation plainly coll corning only the British goycinm 9ut and British citizens" and contends tlH't it 'S designed to shorten the war The note fails to meet th" Amcrican demand that tho names of American firms be stricken from the black list, but attempts tu convince the department that the British posi- ti"n is inet and foundod on law.

 mart which attracted much off cal notice deall with the subject of peace based on the theory that ono h"ecrienn contention had been that there cxists no military necessity for the black list, and that it is unreros- eary for the allies to prejudice nedi- ,@le b"r"neo pothino which can hap pen in distant neutral countries can influence the result of the great con flict.
 Wish Peace Were Near.
 eff that were really the position" said the note. "it is noseihlo that tho ," "oaeures token by his n1aicsty's gov ornment might be described as unc"ll cd for, but it is not. We may wnll w'eh if wore so. Even tho tbe mili- tary situation of the entente alliee hoe been greatly improved, there is still long and bitter struggle in front of them. and one which in jus tce to the princinles for which thoy are fighting imposes on them Inc duty of employing every opportunit| ard evorv measure which they can legitimately use to overcome their op- ponents."
 In it's araument. the note points out that German business houses thrr out the world have furthered the c"uee of Germany in the war, and have been active agents "for the dis e""'natio" of German political and social influence and for the purpose Of espionage"
 The note is based largely on the argument that there is no assumption bv Great Britain of power to inter- fere with neutral trade but that tho black list is a matter of municipal law enjoining British usbiects from dealing with persons found to be as sisting or rendering service to the enemy. It disclaims any intention. of handicaps or penalties on neutral trade

Cabrera Rejects Proposal for Policing Frontier Alp
 proved by Colleagues.
DISCUSSION MAY
 BE TERMINATED
Americans. Tired oi the Quihbling of Cabrera. Indicate They Will Not Long Tolerate Continued Altitude
 oi Mexican hartman.

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov H. Repudiation by Luis Cabrera today of q plan of border control that had been agreed to by his two colleagues and by the three American representa- tives, again has made doubtful the ability of the Americans on the Mex ican-A American commission to assist Mexico in it's efforts to restore normal conditions along the frontier.
 The Americans were hopeful to- night, but it was indicated by those in close touch that further opposition, characterized as "quibbling," would not long be tolerated.
 There appears reason to believe that unless the chairman of the Mexican commission adopted a more tractable manner, he and his assocaitcs will be informed that further consideration of MeXico's social, economic and military problems must come to an end.
 The agreement, that provided for the withdrawal of the American pu- nitivc expedition now in Chihuahua state, and for methods of dealing with border raiders, was reached yestcr- day, Ignacio Bonllas and Alberto J. Pani of the Mexican commission con curing.
 Cabrera Is Vehement
 MT. Carbrea, chairman of the Mex ican commission, had gone to Phia- delphia, where he conferred with Ra- fael Nieto, sub-secretary of the de- partment of finance, of which MT. Cabrera is chief. It was when he re- in the commissions confer ence room this morning, that he an- nounced his opposition to the details of the plan. It is known that his ex- pression of dissent was vehement.
 That the agreement for the with drawal of the American troops, did not provide for immediate retirement, was indicated. It stipulated, it is un- derstood. that they would be brought out of Mexico within a stipulated time. If, within that period, the Car ranza government had demonstrated it's ability to guard the border against raiding bandits.
 The session at which MT. Cabrera his protest, was not finished until along after noon today. The had expected the usual sec ond session in the afternoon, but Mr. Cabrera announced that it was neces- sary for him to return to Philadelphia. He was there tonight, and there was no meeting of the commission this af- ternoon.
