WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—The pub
lication of the latest note of the Am
eriean government to Great Britain
today reveals that the administration,
having reached a satisfactory agree
ment with the German government of
the late differences is apparently about
to take a decided stand over the sev
< ral contentions with Britain in the
matter of the restrictions of neutral
commerce imposed by that government
through the order in counsel discharg
ing a blockade of the enemy’s country.
The note which was made public
this morning by stipulation and pub
lished simultaneously in Britain and
the United States is looked upon as
the most positive and forcible docu
ment emanating from the state de
partment since the commencement of
the war period. The communication
declares that the so-called blockade
instituted by the allies against the
German and Austrian coasts on the
eleventh of March, is not only 'Inde
I fensible” from the standpoint of in
ternational law but is also declared
to be “ineffective and Illegal." After
a recital of the various contentions of
the United States with respect to the
effects of the blockade on American
and other neutral commerce, declares
that the United States cannot submit
to the furher curtailment of is neu
ral rights and a further subordination
of its commercial Interests.
Ambassador Page is instructed by
Lansing to "Impress most earnestly
upon the government of Great Bri
tain that the United States must
insist that the relations between It
and the government of his majesty
! shall be governed, not by a policy of
expediency, but by the established
rules of international conduct by
which Great Britain has in the past
held the United States."
The note recites that when America
was a belligerent nation, Britain firm
ly Insisted upon observing the rules
of International law to the letter even
though this government was in the
throes of a struggle In which Britain
finds itself at present. The note de
clares that the United States has
assumed the task of championing the
integrity of neutrals and will continue
to devote its energies to the task
whenever it can do so impartially and
with th4 knowledge that she is ask
ing for the rights.
The note is in every way a remark
aide document and the tone in which
it Is written indicates that Britain
will be forced to face the issue square
ly. The document is lengthy and
intains numerous references to the
hi ions examples of where the atti
tude of Britain was enacted that of
the United Sates at the present
time. Government officials are of the
opinion that Lansing intends to force
in understanding at all hazards and
has traced the document in the
strongest terms possible.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
DECLARE SITUATION
IS INTOLERABLE
A. P. A. Service.
EOUSANNE, Nov. 8.—A manifesto
issued by the socialists of Germany
4 printed in local newspapers today de
clares that conditions in the German
empire are far different from the
statements given out to the world as
representative of the true facts con
cerning affairs within the nation.
"The situation among the laboring
classes,” says the manifesto, 'is fast
becoming intolerable already and there
is great misery in Germany and with
the approach of winter conditions will
become steadily worse. The manifesto
betrays little hesitation in saying that
there is a fast growing inclination on
the part of the masses to end the
war at any cost.
