C., Dee. 29.—The United States government yesterday dispatched a long note to Great Britain, insisting upon an early improvement in the treatment of American commerce by the British fleet. It gave warning that much feeling has been aroused in this country, and that public criticism was general over unwarranted interfe rence with the legitimate foreign trade of the United States. The document,constituting the strong est representation ou this subject made by the United States to any of the bel ligerents since the outbreak of the war, was cabled to Ambassador Page to be formally presented to Sir Edward Lirey, the British Foreign Secretary. Its preparation was begun a month ago by Solicitor Cone Johnson, Counsellor Rob ert Lansing and Secretary Bryan, and finally, during the last two weeks, had the personal attention of President Wil son himself, who I'ovised its phraseol ogy with minute <arc. A 9 the detailed point of view of the United States in numerous specific cases of detention and seizures of cargoes ha l been set forth in a series of emphatic piotests, yesterday's communication was couched in general terms covering the entire subject of the relations be tween the L'uited States and Great Brit ain as affected by the latter's naval policy, considered highly objectionable by this government. The note declares at the outset that the representations are made in a friendly spirit, but that the United States considers it best to speak in terms of frankness, lest silence 'be con strued as an acquiescence in a policy on }he part of Great Britain which in fringed the rights of American citizens under the laws of nations. Since France has adopted practically the same decrees on contraband as has Great Britain, yesterday's note is vir tually a statemeut intended for all the members of the Triple Entente. The document points out that com plaints on every side and public, criti cism in the Unite! States hold the British policy as directly responsible for the depression in many American in dustries, a situation the seriousness of must be apparent to Great Brit ain. Feeling lias been aroused on the sub ject. to such an extent, the communica tion adds, that the American govern ment feels compelled to ask for definite information as to Great Britain's atti tude, in order that it may take such measures as will protect American citi zens in their rights.

Paris, Deo. 10. —An attache of the Belgian foreign office, who escaped from the capital recently, says life | thore is not as disagreeable as in other j Belgian cities, langely on account of the influential presence of the Ameri can Minister. "The price of food has not greatly increased, and the j>eople who have money to 'buy it are ncft suffering," he said. "But the ibread, which is strictly rationed, (300 grams a day for each inhabitant), is black and indigestible. Persons with weak stomachs like my self cannot eat it. The bread question is serious. The lower classes are ac customed to eating large quantities of bread. Soaked in milk or broth, it forms the main article of the children's diet. The regulation black bread is doughy that it cannot be soaked, and I know that a great many young chil dren are dying every day from intes tina 1 diseases brought on by improper | feeding. "The lack of fuel is another hard ship. Nearly all the coal that comes by canal from Oharleroi, is taken by the Germans, who manufacture ben zine for their automobiles from it in large retorts that they have set up in the suiburbs of Brussels, and it is very difficult for the people to got oven the small quantity they require for cook- | ing purposes. "Every week 2,300,000 francs ($500,000) war indemnity has to be paid oyer to the German treasury of- I fieials. This is a grevious burden to all j classes and increases the already heavy j taxes from 150 to 200 per cent."
