AAttrKL RKA Trustee. 1 AS BRITISH PRESS REGARD If. S. NOTE "Standard" Warns Eng land That American Protest Should Not Be Treated Lightly SENTIMENT FOR ALLIES WANING Newspaper Declares Feeling in United States Is Becoming More Pro nounced for Germany and Says Un cle Sam Shoiud Be Met Half War London, Dec. 31, 3.13 A. M.—The American note to Great Britain concern ing the search of American vessels by British warships is further dis'.-ussed by the Loudon inorniug newspapers to dav. The "Standard" in an editorial warns the country that the American protest is a serious one and should not l>e treat ed light hear tedly; that the sentiment ir. the I'tiited States in favor of the allies is less pronounced than it was three months ago and that it is yielding to a feeling in favor of tkrmauv as the underdog in a tight against groat odds. Therefore, the newspaper says, if any solution is possible the United States should be met half wav. j A suggestion appears iu the "Morn : ing Post" that a remedy for the griev -1 auce of undue delay in searching ves | sels would be to pass a short ac' in Parliament giving the neutral trader the right to come to a British court of justice and by a process involving a minimum of delay, to claim damages arising from the detention of his vessel or cargo. Copper Exporters Not Ruined The "Morning Post" contends edi torially that American copper export ers by no means have been ruined, de- I daring that in September and October, i 1913, they sold ten million rounds of ] copper to Italy, Holland, Norway and | Sweden and that in the same months of ; 1914 t'iiey sold to the same customers i fifty million pounds. "We trust." .he editorial continues, '"that the British government will ful fill the whole letter of the law and give I to President Wilson his full pound of I flesh: but we ho;e there is euough of ! human nature iu the admiralty and the . navy to arrange that all copper imports iof neutrals and all their imports, analagous to that of copper, shall sink ito and remain at the normal peace | level." The "Daily Mail'' said it considers j the question at issue much as of prin- I dple. It protests against jetting needly excited smout the note and informs Americans that even from the stand j point of their own interests it is rela tively not a vita! matter, since far j greater questions are on the anvil. It | contends that in the victory of the al | lies lies the security and well-being of ! the I'nited States and the triumpn of I American conceptions of sodetv and j government. The editorial concludes i with the statement that t'ae allies are fighting America's battles as well as ' their own. "but none the less it will be i a good thing to get the awkward prob | lem of contraband satisfactorily set tled." Underwriters Take a Hand The "Times'' says that within the ! last few days London underwriters who ! are in close touch with American com -1 merce have been conferring together in au endeavor to find a modus vivendi under which the objects both Great Britain and the United States have at heart with regard to the questions raised in the American note could each i be secured. Lewis Einstein, of Xew York, who has held various diplomatic posts under the I'nited States government, writes to the "Times" suggesting as a solu ; tion of the difficulty that Great Britain i thould create a >.ourt of claims where ' neutrals could seek redress for injury ! resulting from blockades. He further I proposes that American lawyer of recog ; nized standing be appointed by the Brit | iah government as judge of such court j with a legal adviser to inform the for j eiga office of t'he American point of ; view. Mr. liinptrin suggests that men j of the type of Joseph H. Croate and , John Basset' Moore, a former coun i selior of the State Department at \Vash- I ington, would be suitable. Comment By Dutch Papers Th§ Hague, via London, De<\ 31. 2.59 A. M.—The Dutch papers, while generally commenting upon the Ameri can note, virtually agree as to the main points brought out in the follow ing editorial expressions in the Amster dam "Alyemeen Haadelsblad:" "The note sent to England but in tended for the Powers of the tniple em - tete is a remarkable symptom. In America, as well as in other neutral countries, the illegal measures taken against American commerce has made bad blood. "The note ii not intended as a hos tile act but is a warning and request with a detailed resume of the com plaints of American shippers. Hie in tentions of the note are good. Position of Neutral Shippers 'lt is well that Washington drew the attention of the British government to the difficult position of the neutral shippers. But will the protest helpf We be iev, hearings were held and ] the result was obtained only after con- j sidering the situation from all angles. 1 This work has been progressing un der the direction of Dr. John Price Jackson, Commissioner of Labor ami Industry. At the present time a half , dozen safety meetings an 1 scheduled to ] be held in the Capitol ouilding. at which | regulations will be framed. t The safety-first movement for indus trial plants is one of the big things to- [ day in labor circles and it is»hoped by i the members of the Industrial Hoard that the publication of the rules that j have so far been adopted will be care- j fully considered. The regulations as they stand in articles when they appear j are" ironclad, but are subject to change on petition to the Industrial Board. , After reviewing the petition, should any be presented, the Board can call a | hearing if it is deemed advisable^ A valuable reference can be made of the various articles which will appear from time to time under the "safety first" caption if they be clipped and placed in a scrap book. The first ar- j tide appeared last evening and related j to wood-working machinery. BUNGLING BAFFLES BURGLARY Two Masked Men in Haste Lock Cash Register and Arouse Owner ( Chester, Pa., Dec. 31. —Striking two j keys at once, robbers unwittingly lock-' ed the cash register in the store of Stanley Kudewicz yesterday, a mistake j which foiled them in their attempt to; loot the receptacle. Angered at their blunder the intru-l ders struck the keys with an iron bar. 1 The noise was heard by Rudewicz, who j reached the store in time to see the two men, who wore masks, scramble over the counter and escape.
