New York, March 1G.-Facing
fortnight's delay in foreign mails, due
to dock strikes, war draft and danger
Gus navigation. the people of this port
are today formulating protest to
Washington over the most serious
stagnatiOn I'm transatlantic shipping
that has occurred here for fifty years.
For the past eleven days not a single
liner has left the piers for Europe and
for the balance Of this month the sail
ing schedule is so spasmOdic and slim
that already tons of mail baks are
heaped up on the whaWes of the few
steamships that hope to stragglc
across the ocean to Keep the conti-
rents in correspondence.
Unless some strong Influence is
brought to bear upon the warning
powers TO release the transatlantic
liners that they are holding in re-
serve as transports. it is predicted
that this harbor will soon be practi-
cally cut off from regular shipping
contact with the continent
To Revive Hanna Methods.
Confirming the recent rumors of
big backing for a conservative presi-
dental campaign by the vested inter
icos this week. where magnates met
G. o. Z. leaders, is now being taken
as a sure sign Of an attempt to resur-
rect the old methods of Mark Hanna
Though this confab has been hush
Though this cOnflab has been hush
ed up here as a news story, it is
known that 1t is to lead to many more
secret meetings between business and
political interests, at which plans will
be proposed to fight with the full
: force of the country's capital the re-
election of Woodrow Wilson and the
radical forces that it is expected will
line up behind him. With the pros
pect of such a deep war chest to draw
from gladdening their souls, local
leaders of both machines are already
planning to be paid for their positive
or negative services in what they eN-
pect will be the best financed fight in
all the history of national campaigns.
Bakery NIagnatcs Beaten.
Beating the bread tax of an extra
cent a loaf that would have Melted
$12 000, 600 year for bakers, millers
and wheat brokers, New Workers are
rejoicing this week to watch the bak-
cry magnates driven back TO the old

never been dag when the same BIT
of bread could not be bought for five
cents, although the big wholesalers
tried hard TO pretend that they con-
trullcd the market
Now that this bread boycott has
been beaten, simply 10y publicity and
popular protest, the people Of this
town are encouraged to hope that the
same methods may avail to cut down
other high peaks i'm the cost of living.
Junior Police.
Fully five hundred boys between
the ages of 10 and IS have Just begun
drilling to march in the next police
parade as full-fedged policemen in

Already the juvenile patromen of
this pigmy police have done splendid
service in keeping their home streets
In order. and 1t is prophesied that be

Parade Possibilities.
with thousands of loyal and husky
Hibernians preparing 60 get in line at
the coming parade of st. Pdtrick's
day. the authorities are warning all
arti-ally sympathizers to keep far
from the curb Of Fifth avenue. In the
minds of the marchers are fresh pic
lures of the men OF ireland as trench
targets for the Tcutons, and ther
leaders are ready to resent any breach
Of neutrality on the part of any sub
jects of the kaiser who may be indis-
erect enough to make dnmonstra-
ton along the line of march.
II the green parade can be pulled
off without casualties to innocent
beer drinkers, the police Will hcave a
great sigh of relief
