BRITISH CABINET (Continued from Page One.) Haldane, who has been acting as head of the foreign office in the absence of foreign secretary. Advise Restraint. The editorial attitude of the press toward President Wilson's protest is generally of a conciliatory nature. It Is pointed out that only a summary of the note has been received and the final judgment should he withheld until the complete text of the protest can bo taken under consideration. "This question was bound to come up," says the l'all Mall teazel te. "and' the only true solution is to be found In the firm good will which exists between Kngland and the lTnited States. Wo are certain that the English government lias done all it ran to mitigate the inconvenience to neutrals which has been caused by the exercise of those rights to which wo were strictly entitled as belligerents. Furthermore, we are certain that the government is prepared to go still further in the same direction if a way can be pointed out which does not militate against the use of our greatest weapon, which is being used in ever legitimate way to bring the war to a successful and speedy conclusion. "But just as we are prepared to meet the views of neutral nations in every way possible, so we must claim from them and from the United States In particular that they recognize our difficulties and aid us in an endeavor to regard their Interests. We don't ask of the United States that their government should depart by a hair's breadth from the attitude of strict impartiality, but we do call to our aid the mutual good will existing between ihe two countries in order to find a solution which shall be just not only to neutral nations, but also to the nation engaged in the greatest struggle in history." Standard's View. The Evening Standard cannot think that a spirit of hostility prevails in the I'nitcd States. It says: "It is impossible to think that President Wilson of the I'nitcd States government made a protest in any spirit of hostility to Great Britain. President Wilson himself hints that there are people in American who may complicate the situation by taking a less rigid view ;f the situation than their government. Nor can the navy restrict its undoubted right to make search upon the high seas and to make seizures without mistakes. "For any such mistakes there will be reparation and upon the United States we depend to regard them (the mistakes i with toleration such as is due from a neutral power to a combatant ." Gazette's Opinion. "The right to search can and ought to be carried out with all possible regard to the convenience of neutrals. We are confident that if any instances to the contrary can be fairly adduced the British government will do everything in its power to prevent their recurrence. We do not wish to interfere with the trade of neutral nations, lior with the trade of belligerents providing the ships are not carrying contraband of war. But we must secure ourselves against the possibility of large supplies that are contraband being shipped into belligerent countries through the back door of neutral countries. They shall prevent this traffic if we arc unable to prevent it otirf elves."

It is the same old question that involved us in war with Great Britain in ISIS and they have always maintained that they had the right to search at sea. It is time for tiie United States to stand her ground." Senator Shafroth of Colorado, said: "I approve of the action taken by the president. It is a good thing. It will not bring hostilities, but it will bring an inquiry into the whole question. If the shippers have heen practicing fraud, that will tt- brought out and the frauds will have to stop, if frauds are not being practiced, that also will be established, and the situation cleared." Senator Pomerene of Ohio, said: "The action taken in this matter Is very opportune. It is also very much needed. I fully approve of it." Try Mrs. Austin's BaK Pancake, sure to (lease jou.
