British View Of Rights.

According to the British view, the
exemption from seizure of mail matter
found on the high seas on board a neu-
trail or enemy ship Is founded upon
article l of The Hague convention
relative to certain restrictions in re-
gard to the exercise of the right OF
capture in naval war.
This article treats of postal CORE
spondence," and makes no mention Of
parcel post. which, therefore, it is held,
is not protected.
Furthermore, the article also pro-
vides that immunity from seizure shall
not apply 'in case of violation of
blockade, 10 correspondence destined
for or proceeding from blockaded
port This proviso, it is held, war
rants the detention not only OF parcel
post matter, but of first-class mail
matter, whether going to or coming from
any of the central powers, and there
is reason to believe that the allied

Salaries Are Too Low.

"Also the salaries of inspectors and
clerks have not kept pace with the
money paid for similar service outside
of the government. As men become
trained they promptly leave. and, under
the circumstances, they cannot be con-
dennned for so doing.
CLOSELY connected with the PROPOSE
ton of hull construction is that of the
overlooking of passenger steamers,
question also considered at length in
previous annual reports. 1t is believed
that violations of law by steamers in
carrying more passengers than allowed
by their certificates of inspection are
comparatively few. The important
question is, have the local inspectors
permitted steamer to carry larger
number of passengers than she should
be permitted to carry? In this connec-
tion not only must the stability Of the
vessel be considered. but also the pos
sibility of panic and the handling of
the life-saving apparatus in such
event.

Turkey Not Party.
Finally it will be shown that the
claim to inviolability for the mails of
the central powers. so far as they are
based on The Hague convention. no
longer exists. for the reason that
Turkey did not subscribe to this par
ticular convention, which in article
reads:
The provisions of the present con-
vention do not apply except between
contracting powers. and then only if

Local Inspectors Responsible.

THE conclusion is that the original
responsibility rests upon the local in
spectors in the matter of passenger al

to impress upon them the seriousness
of this responsibility and condemn in
unqualified language any exercise of
the great authority without full appre
citation of its seriousness.

TAXES
 TO GET DEFENSE FUNDS PLANNED
Secretary McAdoo Outlines Proposals to Meet Increase
 In Expenses.

Washington, Nov. 26-Cost of the administrations defense program for the first year would be met by an in- crease in the internal taxation, if Con gress gives it's approval to Secretary McAdoo's suggestion.
 Tn a formal announcement MT. Me Adoo declared his belief that an in ;rease in the tax levy was preferable to bond issue, adding that it could easily be borne by the American. peo- ple He would raise the necessary revenue by lowering the income tax exemptions and assess various com nloditieS. i
 Secretary McAdoo's statement was issued in connection with an estimate of the federal governments revenues and expenditures up to the close of the next fiscal year. He placed the amount of additional revenue required for the expenditure for 1917 at $112,- S06, 1894, including $93.000,000> for new measures for national defense. This estimate is based upon the assumption that Congress will continue in effect the present emergency tax law and customs duty on sugar.
 It is explained that while the pro- posed army and navy appropriate on in 1917 would represent an increase for preparedness considerably in ex- cess of the $93,o0O,OOO, a part of the expenditures authorized actually would not be spent during that year. That amount it is stated, would cover the increase for which additional rev. enues must be found by the next Con- gress.
 If Congress approves of Secretary McAdOo's proposals, the income tax exemption on single persons would be reduced from $3,00a to 1000 and on married persons from $4,OO0 to- $3,- 900; the surtaxN on incomes above $20,O00 would be lowered to $1OOOO or $15,0O0 and new taxes would be imposed on numerous articles fncIud- ing gasoline, crude and refined oils horsepower of automobiles and other internal combustion engines.

Snow Half Buries Men and Guns In AuStPO-Italian Au-
 tumn Campaign.

Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 26-In the semi-circle from Trent to Trieste where Austro- Germans and Italians are fighting for supremacy, military operations will be seriously, affected by snow. Neither side dares to ad- vance large guns which may be lost in a night owing to 9. heavy snowfall
 On the Austro- Italian frontier where fighting is taking place at ten thousand feet above sea level over several miles of mountains where ev- cry little pass means a small battle, weather conditions and snow are inn portant factors. On these mountains ordinary regiments, however brave, are practically useless as they cam not stand the climate and only Alpine troops on both sides are being uti- lized.
 Since the beginning of october sew eral feet Of snow has fallen in the Swiss -Tyrolese and Italian Alps above 5000 feet and there is besides always the danger of an avalanche Under these conditions Alpine war fare will be impossible even for. a strong force. The men and noun tain artillery are practically buried in deep snow in the higher Alps and the attack must be postponed until Spring. Thus Italy feels secure from an invasion of Hombardy and Vene- tia Curing the winter and can em- pIoy her reserve forces for other spheres.
 I On the Isonzo, however, it is an other matter for the, country around is a plain and there is little doubt that the Italian army will attempt to force it's way to Trieste and Plume via ToInqino and fGoritza this winter. Daily the attacks on these two towns on the main railway are becoming fiercer The Italians continue to bring up more heavy artillery which now is in a semi-circle around both cities.

A Station at White River Junction.

The board of trade deserves at least
word of praise for reviying interest in
a new railroad station here. Some have
thought that the board was simply in
dulging in a little "hot air" for the
amusement of the members, and that
nothing could possibly be done to arouse
the railroads from seeming indifference
to public sentiment. Even members
themselves who entered half heartedIy
into the discussion of the renewed pro-
iect two months ago now feel that there
is enough encouragement to keep up
the agitation until the railroads will no
longer have any chance to plead for de-
lay on account of financial conditions
Lack of money has been the contention
of the railroads all along whenever the
matter of new station in the juno
tion was put up to them, Representative
Stacey had occasion TO hear testimony to
this fact, after seeing the railroad Off
