BRITISH DEFEND ACTION
IN SEEING SHIP MAIL
Fifty-Five Bags of Rubber for
Enemy Taken Off Oscar II,
Is Claim.

LONDON, December 30.-Referring to
A Washington report that the American
government is preparing protest
against the British Interference with
the mails to and from Holland. the
Daily News declares that a necessity
for the rigid scrutiny of the east
bound mails has been demonstrated by
the recent discovery of flfty-five bags
of rubber in the parcel mail on board
the steamer Oscar II consigned, as the
press bureau reported. to an enemy
forwarding agent in Sweden.
The moral of the incident Is patent"
the Mail continues. IF contraband can
be. consigned to Germany by post
| through Swenden. 1t can equally we'll
rather better. indeed-be consigned by
| post to Holland We do not think that
America will miss the point Of this
argument"
| Ofacial Statement.
! British oficial statement issued
last night saws:
TT is ascertained that ffty-ive bags
of rubber, all consigned to a we'll known
| enemy forwarding agent in Sweden.
! were removed from the parcel mail on
board the steamship Oscar II. The esti-
mated weight of the rubber seized is
about 1000 pounds.
The remainder of the mail. which
| consisted of 1874 bags. was handed over
to the post Office for immediate trans
mission to destination"
The Oscar II Is the vessel which car
ried the Henry Ford peace party to
Europe. On the voyage across she was
taken into Kirkwall by the British au-
thorities and her cargo examined. The
Oscar II was detained for moro than
itwenty-fou hours. but was allowed to
proceed on December 16. There were
reports at the time that part of the
/ cargo was contraband and that a prize
court would take the matter into con-
sideration.

to serve In return. The arraneement
made Serbia a veritable appendix to
Russia, and. 80 far as the European
war has now progressed, proved SER
bias undoing. Whether or not King
Peter will ever rule In Serbia il hard
to say at this moment: In the central
powers the belief, Of course, is that
Serbia and its king are no more.

Demand abHitation Of BEL
gium and Serbia if Con.
fIict Is to End.
ALSO FOR RESTORATION
OF ALSACE AND LORRAINE
World Arbitration to Prevent Fur
ther Clashes Of Nations
Strongly Advocated.

PARIS. December 3o.-The national
congress of the socialist part, which
has ended its sessions here. voted a
resolution affirming that the socialists
would continue to support a vigorous
carrying on Of the war until French
territory is freed. Belgium and Serbia
are raised from ruins. Alsace and Lor-
raine are restored to France and
durable peace Is assured.
But the duty Of the allies as the
champions of right and the guardians
Of the worlds future does not end
here" says the resolution.
"An organization of international
law seems to the socialist party the
most effective guarantee of a lasting
peace. BY establishing among them
selves and publishing to the world
arbitration clauses to deal with every
species Of litigation that might arise,
the allies would set an example for
which the neutral nations would be
grateful to them and would open the
way to the only complete guarantees of
lasting peace.
Two Courses Are Open.
The socialist party is aware that as
long as the iniquity Of capitalism ex-
lists with its system of economic COM
petition. which has developed to the
extreme colonialism and Imperialism,
the danger of war will exist with it.
But the world is faced with these al
ternatives. Either it will retain the
practice of ultimatums and war. with
an increasing weight of armament,
that will plunge Europe into some new
catastrophe in which human civiliza-
ton will perish with her. or else ma
tions will inaugurate international
arbitration. Limitation of armaments,
democratic control of treaties, aboli-
ton Of occult diplomacy and the es-
tablishment of economic and military
penalties to be applied to nations vio-
Iating international law.
And in this case only can Europe
and the world look forward to a nor
NAL development of peace between ma
cialism."
Relations With Germans.
The resolution goes on to say that
the French socialist party could not
resume relations with the German sec
ton of the International Socialists un--
til the social demands or the dissen-
tient minority of them repudiate impe-
rialism, affirm the right of peoples to
be the masters of their own destinies
and protest against violations of inter-
national law and of neutrality.
The resolution concludes by instruct-
ing the socialist deputies to facilitate
in every way the work of national de-
sense and by declaring that the party
adheres to the words of Premier As
uuith in the British house of commons
affirming that there should be no sepa-
rate peace.

Stunned by Sovereigns.

Peter Karageorgeovitch never forgot,
and never was permitted to forget. that
he had taken the place of man who
had been foully murdered. Only few
soyereigns consented to meet him. ana
he was always so Ill at ease in the
presence of strangers that he usually
stunned them.
King Peters family. it is said. is OF
gypsy origin. The original karageorge-
oyitch, or son of Black George" how
ever. was shepherd. King Peter
himself spent much Of his life in
Switzerland where the summons to
Serbias ill-fated throne reached him.
Shortly after his election to the king
ship Peter entered into close relations
with the Russian crown. A large an
nual revenue was settled upon him,
with the understanding that in all mat
ters affecting Serbias foreign policy
he was to keep Russia's interests on
the Balkan peninsula in mind!
Course Deemed Advisable.
Tho attitude of the Serbian liberal
party made such a course by Russia
advisable. This party had favored the
establishment Of a republic in Serbia
after Alexander and Draga had been
murdered. This. and the fact that the
liberals in those days were not the ar
dent pan -Slavists which they became
later, recommended the reinforcement
Of the Serbian crown financially. In
Petrograd it was felt that Russia
needed a reliable agent in the Balkans.
nor could it be overlooked there that
experiments in republican government
by a Slav people were not calculated to
make life for the Romanof dynasty

of the Associated Press.

VIENNA, December 10--There Is a
dom, as result of the war. Peter of
Serbia is today no better of than the
King of the Belgians. Karageorgeo-
witch is a fugitive before the advance
of the central powers and Bulgarian
troops. His two capitals. Belgrade and
Nish, are in the hands of the invaders.
For a time King Peter Travelled in g.
special train. At Krusevatch ne had to
abandon his movable court. AS he
stood in the station building of that
town and waited for the automobile
that was to take him to other parts,
tears streamed down his cheeks. One
Of his dwindling encourage murmured
a few comforting words. but to these
King Peter merely nodded.
In many respects King Peter is the
most dramatic figure of the European
war Two regicides are intimately
connected with his history, the murder
of his predecessor, Alexander Obreno-
witch, and his queen, Draga. and the
assassination of the ArchdQke of Aus
tive. There are those who claim that
King Peter knew of the two plots, that.
indeed he was the instigator of the
former How true this Is would be
hard to say in the absence of more
evidence than has SO far been pro-
duced, Certain 1t is only that King
Peter showed no inclination to be severe
even managed to be on good terms
with Maj. Misitch, arch villain of the
crime in the old konak Of Belgrade,
thirteen years ago.
