ACTION UNLIKELY ON
BRITISH MAIL OPENING
Swedcn's Diplomatic Letters
Were Not IIindcrcd. WASH
ingtOn Believes.

WAsniNGroN June iS-The COM
plaint of the swedish Government pre-
sented through Minister Ekengren here
that British aut taorities have been inter-
fering with mails to Sweden passing
through England has been taken under
consideration by the State Department
II IL by no means certain that any ac-
ton will be taken by this Government.
According to the Information laid be-
fore the State Departm the malls
were not from the legation, but were
private communication addressed to in
dividuals in sweden. The practice OF a
belligerent exercising the privilege of
search Of all mails passing through its
territory is 20 general and of such long
ostabls nment that It is doubted whether
or not the State department will feel
that It can move IN the matter.
Diplomatic mail pounches are entitled
to absolute immunity from detention or
search in belllgerent territory. but thus
far the swedish l. tgation Is not in a po-
sit!On to state that any Of its mail was
interfcrel with.
Surprise was expressed here when 1t
was learned that Sw, dish mails were
being sen, through England. The State
Department is no longer sending its
mails for transit through belligerent
countries when it can be avoided. There
have been several cases OF consular
mails being interfered with in belligerent
countries These mails do moi enjoy the
same immunity as diplomatic mails
While bell!2erents are NOT allowed 10
seize neutral mail on the high seas, neu-
trail mails entrusted to belligerent
Cove rnmen: within its own territory

Special Corrsspondsnc. to THE sux.

LONDON, June i.--On two occasions
recently Coroner's jury has returned
verdict Of murder" against the
Kaiser the first verdict OF this descrip-
tion was returned at Queenstown in re-
spect of person drowned by the sink
Ing OF the Lusitania, the second at
Ramsgate in respect OF person who
was killed in the Zeppelin raid. Are
these verdic,s merely empty words. ms, re
expressions Of condemnation of Infamous
acts OF may they be followed by the
usual conscqu, nces OF such findings by
Coroners jury?
A writer Ia the Liverpool Post dis
cusses this question. which is. he says.
"of more than academic interest. for II
the verdicts are not nullkies 1t would
he the duty of the police authorities to
bring the Kaiser before criminal
tribunal to be tried for the alleged mur-
ders should he ever come within the jur-
isdiction of the British courts"
The various Coroners who have pre-
sided over the inques;s on the kaiser's
victims have differed as to the utility
Of a verdict OF murder" In most cases
the jury has been told when 1t has ex-
pressed its desire TO return n verdict OF
murder that such verdict would be
meaningless, for effect could not be
given to 1t. on this point the law ex-
pert says:
"1f n Coroner in so directing the Jury
meant that the actual perpetrator Of
the outrage could not be caught or that
" caught he would be protected ty the
laws OF war. his direction might be
justified. though the latter point is omen
to question; but IL he meant that the
arch criminal could in no circumstances
be brought to trial he was only right II
the Kaiser as reignlng sovereign is
above all law and not .amenable TO the
Jurisdiction OF the courts OF any coun
try"
In elucida,inc this last point the
writer says:
TT Is fundamental principle Of
Jurisprudence that the jurisdiction OF a
nation within It's own territory Is ex-
elusive and absolute. and Is suscep. ible
OF no limitations not imposed by itself
All nations. however have imposed n
limitation on themselves in regard to the
reigning soverelgns OF other nations
and. generally speaking. n sovereign by
entering the territory OF foreign
nation, does not become subject to its
jurisdiction he is as much above the
law OF the foreign nation as he is above
that Of his own. There IL absolutely n,
doubt that this is so II he enters the
foreign territory with the knowledge and
license OF the sovereign Of that territory.
the reason for the immunity being tina,
in accepting the license. he cannot be un-
ders,ood to subject himself to a juris-
diction Incompatible with his own
dignity or that Of his nation

BRYAN HAS THREE
METHODS FOR PEACE
They Are Based on His Treaty
Plan and Cultivation of
brotherhood.
HIS STATEMENT ENDED

WAsHtSGToN. June 1s.--Ex- Secretary
Bryan made public to-day the third and
final instalment of his statement to the
American people on the great war. In
this irstalment Mr.. Bryan discusses the
lessons of the war and the means by
which virtually permanent peace may
he effected.
The instalment follows in part;
What can be done by the advocates
of peace?
First. They can crystalllze the sem
timent in favor OF peace into a coer-
Give force. There Is a work which the
neutral nations can do; they can oher
mediation. Jointly or sevcrally.
The Hague convention. to which all
the Governments are parties, expressly
declares that the offer OF mediation shall
no, be considered an unfriedly act. The
duty OF Offering mediation may seem to
rest primarily upon the United states,
the largest OF the neutral nations and the
one most intimately bound by ties OF
blood to all the beligerents.
The United states did make an offer
Immediately after the war began. but
why not again and again. and again,
until our offer or some other offer Is
accepted?
But our action or failure to act nee )
not deter any other neutral country
from acting.

Education Against War.

"Thrd--While the periol OF investiga-
ton provided for in our treaties will go
far toward preventing war. s'.ll even n
years deliberation does not give com
pletc protection.
I'm order to secure 'he investigation
o: all questions without exception IL
was necessary to reserve to the contract
ing parties liberty of action at the con-
Clusion of the investigation.
War IL thus reduced from a prob
ability to mere possibility, and this is
AN Unreasonable advance: but the as
surance of permanent peace cannot he
given until the desire for war t. crad-
Gated from the human heart
compulsory periods Of Investigation
supply the machinery by which nations
can maintain peace with honor NJ they
so desire (. hut the final work Of the
advocates of peace is educational-it is

hood condensed into the commandment.

Farmers in the vicinity of Glasgow

Some farmers state that they were

and that the heads are bigger and
more plump than they have ever seen
them. The north country crop is
somewhat later than those on the
South Bench but many farmers in that
section began cutting this week.
