WASHINGTON". Jan. 10. Great Brit
ain's preliminary reply to the note
from the United States Uovernment. re
questing Improvement in the treatment
f American commerce by the British
fleet, was made public "lere ana ln Lon
don today by mutual agreement be
tween tho State Department and the
British foreign Office.
The British communication concurs
ln the view of the United States that
commerce between tho neutral nations
should bo interfered with only when
Imperatively necessary and officials of
the Washington Government construed
1t as ronrrjinc that the principles ex
pressed bv the American note were
Just and upheld by the previously ac
cepted usages cf international law.
Bryan Postponed Comment.
The only formal comment made to
night was contained in a brief state
ment Issued by Secretary Bryan, who
said:
"This answer, beln preliminary, and
not being Intended as a complete reply,
we will postpone comment until the
full answer Is received."
Briefly, the British note, while con
ceding the principles of the American
Government's contentions, points out
difficulties in actual practice, refers to
alleged fraudulent practices by ship
pers and cites statistics showing an in
crease, rather than decrease, in certain
neutral commerce, ln support of Great
Britain's suspicions that Germany ml
Austrian Imvo been indirectly obtain
In contraband through neutral coun
tries. The note promises. howl
that Great Britain "will make red es
whenever the action of the British flee
"may unintentionally exceed" the
limits of international law.
N'ote la Carefully Considered.
The text of the British communica
tion is as follows:
"The British Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs to the Amrrcan Am
bassador, Foreign Office, January
1915. Your Excellency: I have the
honor to acknowledge receipt of your
note of the 28th of December.
"It is being carefully examined and
the points raised in it are receiving
consideration, ns the result of which
a reply shall be addressed to your Ex
cellency, dealing ln detail with the
issues raised and the points to which
tho United States Government has
drawn attention. This consideration
and the preparation of the reply will
necessarily require soma time, and
therefore desire to send, without fur-
tiler delay, some preliminary obscrva
tions which will, 1 trust, help to clear
fie ground and remove some nilscon
ccptions that seem to exist.
"lot nie say at once that we entirely

we desire to reply in tho same spirit
and in tlie beliof that, as your excel

the continuance of cordial relations
between the two countries.

"His Majesty's government cordially
concurs in the principle enunciated by
the Government of the United States,
that a belligerent Is dealing with trade
between neutrals should not Interfere,
unless such Interference is necessary
to protect the belligerent's national
safety, and then only to the extent to
which this is necessary. We shall en
deavor to keep our action within the
limits of this principle on the under
standing that it admits our right to
Interfere when such interference is not

United States and another neutral
country, but with trade in contraband

we are ready, whenever our action may
minieutunially exceed this principle.

"We t'.iir.k that much misconception

Your Kxcllency's note seems to hold
His Majesi"& government responsible
for the present condition of trade with
neutral countries, and it is stated that,
through the action of His Majesty's
government, ti-.e products of the great
Industries of the United States have
been denied long established markets
in European markets, which, though
neutral, are contiguous to the seat of
war.
Trade lajury Would Be Regretted.
"Such a result is far from being the
Intention of His Majesty's government,
and they would exceedingly regret that
it should be due to their action. I have
been unable to obtain complete or con
clusive figures showing what the state
of trade with these neutral countries
has been recently, and I can, therefore,
only ask that some further considera

Braziliun Officials Now Think lie-

tConciuded on i'age
RIO DE JANEIRO. Jan. 10. (Spe
cial.) The Minister of Marine. Admiral
Alencar. said today that the rumor of
a naval combat off Rio Grande del
Norte, rrobably originated in the de
parture of the Invincible from Recife
(Pernambuco), which coincided with
the passing of the Argentine dread
nought Rivadacia. three miles off shore.
Naval officers discredited the rumor
of the battle.
PETROGRAD. Jan. 10. The follow
ing semi-official statement was given
out here today regarding the recent
naval activity in the Black Sea:
"On Christmas eve (January 6. mod
ern calendar) our warships in the
Black Sea engaged the enemy's cruiserd
Breslau and Hamidieh, inflicting on
them considerable damage. On the day
after Christmas our ships exploring the
Bay of Synope fired on several Turkish
craft loaded with cargo. The same
night Russian torpedo-boats bombarded
two of the enemy's sailing ships carry
ing flour and took 18 men prisoners.
Harbors Are Explored.
"On the third day after Christmas
our shins exolorea ine naroora ui
Trebizocf and Platana, where they
discover aothing to arouse suspicion.
In the harbor of Surmeneh they burned
a large number of Turkish barks loaded
with cargo. East of Surrteneh our
ships destroyed four of the enemy's
merchant vessels and 11 sailing ships
lii the harbor of Rizeh. They bom
barded the port of Khopa.
"According to information received
here the Turkish minelayer Felk-l-Shefket,
on January 2, entered the har.
bor of Steniak in the Bosphorus, assist
ed by steam lifeboats. The Peik-I-Shefket
had been badly damaged along
the water line and in the bow, where a
cannon had. been disabled.. v .
.- --Minelayer fcioea Ashore."
"The minelayer ran ashore, immedi
ately began to leak badly, and perhaps
can be considered out of service for a
long time." ,
An official communication issued at
Constantinople January 6 said that
two Turkish cruisers had been engaged
by a Russian squadron of 17 units, but
that the Turkish warships were not
damaged.
The Breslau, a cruiser of 4478 tons
displacement, is one of the two German
warships which were turned over to
Turkey early in the war. The Hami
dieh is a small Turkish cruiser of 3830
tons displacement and carrying a crew
of 362 men.

SALEM, Or., Jan. 10. (Special.)
People of Salem began to realize to
night that their city ' in reality is

Salem tonight, they learned that th
people of this city had made all thei
plans for the inauguration or tn

The Beople or t-orvams, wnere xjt.

From the coast to the River Oise,
where the country is under water, an

the water and mud prevent the infantry

The United States Steel Corporation's
