Des Moines, Jan. 23.-Complete and
effective reform of the land title sys-
tenn of Iowa is proposed and will be
strongly urged on the legislature by
Representative Edmund K. Greene, of
Grundy county, who has given the
subject a great deal of careful study
and is prepared to make good show
Ing of the need of change. Mr..
Greene has bill practically ready
which will provide for adoption Of the
Torrens system by Il gradual and easy
process largely optional, but which in
the long run will be saving of i'm
mense sums to the people of the state e.
Regarding this system and the bill
which he has prepared, Mr.. Greene
says:
This Torrens system of land titles
which l am proposing and hope will
become law, has been in operation
in Illinois and Massachusetts the past
fifteen years. 1t has been particularly
valuable in Illinois. The system, in
brief. provides that any owner of any
estate, legal or equi able, may apply
to have his title registered. that no
lesser estate shall be registered until

claims that the committee ordered an
investigation. 1t will call DR.. G. II.

which he says he can furnish.
Kline claims that the state board
has been charging cities and towns
for making water analyses when the
law provides that the state shall do
the work for nothing. He set a trap
for the board and got the evidence,
he said. Letters were read to the
committee. If the board follows the
policy of charging for water analysis,
the cities OF Ne state will pay $4,000

sends the following:
According to n Berlin telegram. to-
nights issue OF the North German
Gazette published the following In
spircd communications:
1.-The Archbishop Of Malines, Cardi- :
nal Mercier, issued Christmas pas
toral letter. which he directed should
be read from the pulpits OF all the
churches in his diocese on January
and the following Sunday. In addition
to remarks on religious matters. the
letter contains a series of political
statements irreconcilable with the
present state OF occupation. The Ger
man authorities, therefore, were Obliged
to take measures TO prevent further
propagation OF the letter.
when the Governor General drew
the attention OF the cardinal to the
matter. the latter declared his letter
was not meant to be of an melting
nature. He said his intention was to
pacify the population and cndeavor to
remind them, without hurting their
patriotic feelings. to be submissive I'm
demeanor at least to German au-
thority.
However, rs the Governor General
was OF different opinion with regard
to the letter. and feared 1t would have
an tnciting effect, Cardinal Mcrcier did
not Insist upon the execution OF his
directions for continued reading OF the
letter from pulpits. Before this the
Govcrnor-General had prohibited the
publication and propagation of tho pas

WILL. BE MADE PUBLIC
on SUNDAY AFTERNOON


WASHINGTON. January S.-Secre-
tary Bryan late to-day announced re-
ceipt Of Great Britaln's reply to the
American note respecting interruption
of American commerce. The note will
be made public Sunday afternoon by
agreement between the State Depart
ment and the British Foreign Ofice.
State Department officials received
the British note carefully, but would
make no comment in advance of pub
lication. That 1t is inconclusive In
many respects. however, and will lead
to a further diplomatic exchange, was
learned from authoritative quarters
Some points. such as the question Of
proof ut the time OF detention OF ships
and length OF time required for ex-
animation. remain undetermined.
The communication points out the
peculiar necessities of belligerents, but
is phrased in a spirit OF frankness and
friendliness Much emphasis is placed
on the necessity for careful search Of
all cargoes which appear suspicious.
DELAY IN CONDUCTING
EXAMINATIONS AT SEA
Great Britain appreciates that tho
United States does not deny n belliger-
ent's right to search on the high seas,
but Is understood to have explained
that, since this rule OF international
| law was set up, the size of vessels has
| changed, and examinations at sea can
not be conducted with as much facIl-
ity as before. It also Is pointed out
| that It Is difficult to search the mer-
chant liner of the present-day at sea-
Specifically, Great Britain claims that
1t has paid for all copper seized, and
that arrangements now have been made
with Italy, Holland and the Scandl-
cargoes Of even contraband will not be
unduly delayed.
AS to foodstuffs and conditional con-
| traband. Great Britain has no intention
| of repudiating Lord Salisbury's doctrine
that such products must be shown to
be destined to an enemy force, but will
| Insist on careful examination to make
sure supplies are not so destined
Remedies for many difficulties which
have arisen are daily being devised.
Great Britain has pointed out, and steps
taken by the United States to verify
manifests will assist In removing causes
for delay.
APPLIES DOCTRINE
OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN
AS to articles put on the contraband
| list, such as rosin and turpentine, the
British government has applied the doc
| trfno of President Lincoln that abso-
lutte contrnband consists of all mate
