LONDON, Feb. 25.-That the first contingent has already been in action. is evidenced by the fact that Private Jack Davis, No. 8,428, Second Ilatta- lion.

Tile American note, the contents of which remain a secret but which.in general, seems to bring about an un- derstanding regarding the war zone prescrilu-il by Germany, and the ship- mcnt of foollstulfs designed for thc civilian population of bclllgerents was considered at a meeting ot' thc cabinet today bill. thus far no intimation as to the official attitude towards itcan be obtained. The press and public however, on the suposition that Presl- dent Wilson suggested that Grcnt Britain should not carry out her treaty to place all embargo on foodstuffs for Geriuany and that in return Germany should not enforce tht- sublnnrinc blockade against the British isles, have already expressed disapproval of the acceptance of such a proposition. While eight British ships have been sunk In rt wet-k's blockade, it is point- ed out that they are small vessels and thc majority of them either in ballast or carrying coal or freight for neutral countries. lt is believed' here that the destruction of neutral ships and carg- oes will embroil Germany with neu- tral countries and that in the long run _the losses the Allies will suffer will bc more than offset by anger on the part. of neutrals and the possible refusal of countries such as Norway to ullo\v goods to be shipped froln their forts to Germany. This and other diplomatic questions such as the possible entry of Italy and Roumauia into the war which is again being discussed, have overshadowed the news from the battlefrouts which in military clrclcs is considered im- portant. Military exports arc keeping their eyes on operations at the eastern frollt where battles ot’ big magnitude are developing.

Britain, Serbia and Belgium are said by an English ofiicinl to be in abso- lute accord us to reprisals to be made on Germany, Austria and 'l‘urkcy, in retaliation for the German submarine campaign. Britain was ill conference with her Allies concerning reprisals before receipt oi' the American note, making informal representations look- illil to discontinuance of submarine activity and the admission of food stuffs to Germany for civil population. Willie it can be authoritatively stated that the nature of the reprisals has not been agreed upon absolutely as yet, Britain and her Allies have decided upon the main points. which probably will be announced Monday by Premier Asquith, in a statement for the press simultaneously. Walter Hines Page, American Am. bassador from the United States to Britain, and the British Foreign Office have refrained from discussing the terms of the American note, but the Foreign Othce has intimated that a probable -‘statement by Premier A_squith on Monday will not be a direct answer to thc Anieircan note, but a long promised elucidation of an intllnatlon made by Sir Edward Grey, Sc(-rotary of State for Foreign Affairs. oiilcers und other Cabinet Ministers. that reprisals against Germany would doubtless be iiccre.~:sllr_v.

She has somewhat less power than the Miuto.I 2,400 horse power against the laiter‘s| 2,900 horse power and heavier hulk.| but she has been able to keep up her' end of the game as successfully as her younger sister ship. Tile passen- ger nbove referred to is loud in his praise of the Stanley-. her captain. oilloers. engineer and assistant en- gineer, each of whom knew what to do and when to do it in emergencies. i The public. both at home and travel- ling. who receive their mails or reach their destination without mishap. are apt to attribute the good sevrice of both these ships to the extraordinarily mild weather. but in the mildest of winters there are ice packs tn negoti- ate. and to do this successfully re- quires the utmost skill. as well as staunch ami able sieamers. and these they 'hhve on and in the Stanley and Minto. .
