The State Department has been notified officially that the British reply to the American protest against the blacklist will arrive in Washington early next week. The administration has learned unofficially from the British Embassy the contentions of the London Foreign Office respecting the blacklist and is prepared for a flat rejection of the American contentions. An official saidv.today he believed President Wilson Would regard the British note as the final word of that government on the subject and put into effect the retaliatory legislation passed by Congress, The most satisfaction 'the British government heretofore has given the , r' - Nation affecting Hospitality to I'nited States has been to assure it jb iigerent warships somewhat simi that if names of Americans are placed to tht of the Dutch government, improperly on the blacklist they will '1' 'oulJ dery to "u'b sh'P the Priv'- le removed when proof of a wrong committed is furnished.

CONSIDER REGULATIONS Similiar to Those of the Dutch Government Regarding Hos pitality to Belligerent War Ships. May Need Legislation. (By 'nter national News Service.) I Washington, October 13. It was ! declared authoritively at the State ! Department today that the operation j of belligerent warships on the high seas close to, but beyond the juris- i di lion of the United States, might be i a n-idered by this government to be ! up": friendly. 1 It was pointed out that the British i arnsers hovering off New York bar fa r and to which the State' L)epart-ir.-:nt objected were more'than fifty miles from the American shore but in Y steamer line. There is excellent authority for the s' itement that this government is con sidering seriously the promulgation of a proclamation putting into effect a ge of entering American ports for in purpose whatever except for re pairs or unless they should 'be driven n by stress of weather.

Some authorities asserted how- ver that the notification by the State Department to belligerent govern ments of the intention of the I'nited States to consider SB unfriendly war :ike operations close to American '-hores in a manner that would inter 'ere with American commerce, would have the full force of law. No act nf Congress, it was said, would be necessary. Foreign governments can not go beyond the State Department in seeking to determine the will of the American people. v Torpedo boat desfoyeis and other 'tfrht veswtds of the Unite ! States save instructions ,.fr"ra fleet and 'squadron comnvinders to determine at nee whether th-re is a foreign naval ase anywhere along the I'nitel States Atlantic Coast.
