were greatly strained. The story went
on to say that II was not impossible
that war might result between the two
powers. The Associated Press wires

in which the British Foreign office
purports to say that no such warn
ing was issued and that no one In

as were attributed to them in the
earlier dispatches. 1t IL also stated
that the Foreign office believes that
any difficulty arising between Eng
