Britain, made public here yesterday, covering exhaustively British interference with American trade since the beginning of the European war, declares that the so-called blockade instituted by the

rights,\u201d and It cannot \u201cwith complacence suffer further subordination of its rights and interests,\u201d Ambassador Page, to whom the note was sent by special messenger for delivery to the

take any step which is not in conform ity with traditions in the beat inter- POINTS RAISED BY THE UNITED STATES ARE ALL OPEN TO ARGUMENT.London, Nov.8.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 The attitude taken by the London morning newspapers in commenting on the American note to Great Britain is generally that, although the points raised in the note are all open to argument, Great Britain's position is that she is engaged in a life and death struggle and, therefore, has to consider all questions on the practicable basis of winning the war; that such a world-war is bound to carry some inconvenience to neutrals, but that as far as is possible and consistent with doing everything in her power to win the war, she is careful to do as little as possible to injure the interests of neutrals.BRITISH PRESS CRITICIZES AMERICAN PROTEST.London, Nov.8.\u2014(Special).\u2014 The British press generally criticizes the American protest as harsh and based on indefensible precedents, referring to Lancashires

credited with having said that everything indicated that Rou-mania\u2019s aid will decide the Balkan war and that this help will be offered at the most propitious moment.RUSSIAN IVSINISTER LEAVES

remained at Sofia after the Entente Ministers left, has completely recovered.The despatch adds that M.Savinsky is to leave Sofia Sunday morning in a royal train which King Ferdinand had placed at his disposal.est to Greece, and will always tender the best advice to his Sovereign, There is every reason to believe that the King will listen to Skonloudis with greater attention than any other Greek statesman.It is, therefore, hoped that if the Allies continue preparations and military operatlans in the Balkans with vigor and speed, the time is not distant when, under the guidance of men like Skonloudis, the hesitancy of Ring Constantine will disappear and Greece will join the Allirn.\u201d RECRUITING FOR NEW LI CORPS Hoped to Make it RcprBsemaïfve ot all Townships TRAINING WOULD TAKE

Made Strong Appeal For Men to Join The Colour?ANSWERED CRITICISMS IN REGARD TO PATRIOTIC FUND-LARGE CONGREGATION AT ST.ANDREW'S.St.Amdrow\u2019s Presbyterian Ohurch was crowded last night on the occasion of an address given by Mr.R.J.Young, of the Citizens' Recruiting Association of Montreal, on.\u201cSome Problems Arising Out of the War.\u201d Rev.A.Bright, pastor, conducted the service and was assisted by Messrs.Jas.Clark and Alex.Mac-intyre, students of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, and now enrolled in the Field Ambulance Corps, stationed in Sherbrooke.Several members of the 35th Battery and the Ambulance Corps were among the congregation.The pulpit, choir rails and organ were decorated with the Union Jack and bunting, with the flags of the Allies in front.Dr.McKay sang \u201cLord God of Abraham,\u201d and the choir rendered the anthem \u201cConquering kings their titles take.\u201d Tne organist, Mr.J.O.Jones, played marches of the Allies as a prelude, and one movement from Ed.Greig\u2019s \u201cPeergynt Suite,\u201d during the offertory.The musical programme was admirably carried out and appropriate hymns were heartily sung by the entire congregation.Mr.Young expressed his appreciation of the privilege afforded him of speaking upon the greatest subject of the hour.It was a long way from that comfortable church to the great battlefields where the future of the whole world may be said to hang In the balance.Pitched against each other were fifteen millions of men, and there were ton millions more in course of training preparing to go to the front.Among those fifteen millions already in the din and smoke of the battlefield there were about 100,-000 Canadians of whom all were justly proud as the story came back of their gallantry and bravery even in tbe face of death.The speaker said that his message, however, was not one of congratulation on what the Canadian boys had done.It was rather a call that we must do more\u2014the call of Kitchener for more men, and more men, and the call to Canada that those who stay ed behind must take care of the mo there, wives, sisters and children of those men who bad been brave enough to say \u201cgood-bye\u201d and leave them in our care.Those two calls were facing the people of Sherbrooke and tbe people of Canada and must be answered now.The issue of the great war was well known, whether the ideals of Germany or Great Britain should rule the world, whether Prussian militarism or the British conception of liberty should dominate.It.was unnecessary to explain why Great Britain and Canada had engaged in this war ; no Briton would be proud of bis country if she had not heard the call of Belgium, and no true Canadian lived who did not recognize in the uplifted arm of Britain at a time like this the call for Canada to do her part, not for herself alone, but for the great Empire of which she forms a p§rt, and for humanity.The British people round the whole world had awakened to realize that their great Empire must fade awav unless they won the war.and the ideals and (Continued on Page 6) KITCHENER ON SHORT VISIT TO THE BALKANS That He Had Resigned or
