REPLY ON BLACKLIST
GREAT BRITAIN RFSENTS SUSPI
CION AS TO MOTIVE.
Denies That Rights of Neutrals Un
der International Law Have Been
Ruthlessly Canceled.
Washington, Nov. 10. Tho British
reply to the latest American noto pro
testing against tho trade blacklist,
made public on Wednesday by the
state department, denies that rights of
neutral traders under International
law have been ruthlessly canceled, de
fines the blncklist mensurcs as a muni
cipal regulation plainly concerning
only tho British government nnd Brit
ish citizens, contends that if Is de
signed to shorten tho war and scorns
the suspicion that Britain Is using the
war as a measure to take away neu
trals' trade.
The note fails to meet the Ameri
can demnnd thnt the nuines of Ameri
can firms be stricken from the blnck
list, but attempts to convince tlto state
department that the British position
is Just and founded on law. It leaves
open tho door for further negotution,
which is expected to follow.
A part which attracted much ofll
cial notice dealt with the subject of
peace, based on tho theory that ono
American contention had been that
there exists no military necessity for
the blacklist; thnt nothing which hap
pens In dlstnnt neutral countries can
Influence the result of the great con
flict. In Its argument the note points out
that German business houses through
out tho world have furthered the
cause of Gernmny In the war.
The note apparently admits Britain
has altered the position previously
held with tho United States, that domi
cile and not nationality Is the test of
enemy character, and argues that In
this war nationals or belligerents dom
iciled far from homo may render grent
aid and comfort, admitting that these
aro sought to bo reached by the black
list measure.
Attention is cnlled to Instructions to
British inerchnnts, issued by Lord Bus
sell In 1802 regarding trndc with tho
Bahamas during tho Civil war, advis
ing that the "true remedy" was to re
frain from this trade.

collision.
"The accident happened nil in a
minute," according to a member of the
Deutschlnnd's crew, who talked brief
ly about it. The tug, he said, got In

Dcutschluad struck It In tho stern,
lifting It so far out of the wuter that
tlto tug's nose went under.
