which confronted the American gov
ernment today after the publication
of the complete Mrie of notcn be

ir expected to he a vigorous protest
against tho form of the proposed
Idoekadu iigaint Geiiuuny. Presi
dent Wilson already has indicated
that protest would he made.
There wero nil told six notes. Their
publication by the Mate department
not only cleaned tho slate of diplo
matic correspondence, tint records
the failure of efforts to bring the bel
ligerents to realize the dangers which
their actions place on the neutral
commerce of tho world. This is a
keen disappointment to officials.
Publication of tho correspondence
revealed that the allied blockade op
erations would not ho conducted
"outside of European waters, includ
ing (ho Mediterranean. For tlio first
