Hon. c. s. Hichborn of this city. the
Maine member of the executive COM
mittee of the American Commission
for Relief of Belgium, has received a
letter from Lindon w. Bates, vice
chairman of the American representa-

matters warning against the plac-

ture OF message in any Of the
packages for shipment to Belgium.
Relative to the matater Mr.. Bates
writes.
This is a matter of the utmost I'M
portance owing to the strict conditions
imposed by the belligerents. A single
letter of sympathy innocently placid
in a parcel by donor in the United
States might be mistaken by military
code message and deprive the stary-
ing Belgians within the war zone of

on -four sack destined for Genoa has,
to our knowledge, held up sl:ip-not

with shipments of the name OF any

will similarly jeopardize the distribu-
ton Of food"

Describing the passage of the River
Save and the taking Of Semlin by the
Servians, a statement by the Servian
legation in Rome dispatched to the
Lloyds News from Milan says:
THE Servians made the difiicult pas
sage of the Save from the south, with
all their wagons and munitions Of war
in two days and nights, during which
time the attention of the Austrian ar
tillery was cleverly diverted
Thus the Servians crept up to the
rear of Semlin and burst into the city.
When the Austrians realized what had
happened a desperate combat began.
Many Serbs perished in the waters Of
the Danube and the Save, owing to the
terrific fire to which they were subjected
while crossing. Nevertheless they OBJ
tanned a Arm foothold in Semlin."
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Rome says that the Servians are fortify-

us. WOULD RESIST ANY
TURKISH TARIFF EDICT.
Proposal to Increase Duties 100 Per
Cent on American Products, if Car
ried Out, Will Raise Protest.
NO DECISION REACHED YET

The imposition by Turkey Of 100 per
cent tariff increases on the importation
Of American products. II made, will be
met with a most vigorous protest from
Washington.
II Turkey succeeds in accomplishing
her announced purpose Of throwing OF.
after October 1. the bonds of the capitu-
lations granting special privileges to the
foreign powers. she will Be at liberty to
make changes in her customs tariff. At
present no changes can be made with
out the consent of the powers to whom
the capltulations were granted.
But, even IL the agreements contained
in the capitulations are rescinded by
Turkey. 1t may be positively stated that
the United States will not accept the i'm
position Of exorbitant tariffs on American
goods without vigorous protest. ThSre is
abundant ground for such protest The
treaty OF 1862 between the United States
and Turkey provides expressly that no
greater duties shall be charged upon
American goods than are levied upon
goods Of a like nature from otherN coun-
tries.
No decision has yet been reached, State
Department officials said yesterday. upon
what action the United States will take
regarding Turkeys announcement OF the
revocation OF the capitulations, TO take
effect October /. 1t is though likely that
the United States will register a pro-
test and ask that the abolition OF the
capitulations be delayed. at least until
Turkey present guarantees as to the
mode Of administration and judicial pro-
cedure which are to take their place.
Never in the history of the world. has
any government been able TO throw OFF
the principle of extra-territoriality with
out the preliminary of the most deliber-
ate negotiation with the other govern
ments interested and the presentation
Of guarantees satisfactory in every way,
