FREE SEED CRAFT J.
FOUGHT BY KENYON

WASHINGTON, July 11-Free dis
tribution of garden seeds to the con.
stituents Of senators and representa-
tives during the past four years has
cost the United States government
$1,11O,933. There is a possibility that
this practice, termed by Senator Ken
yon, as nothing short of congress
sional graft" may be abandoned in
asmuch as the senate has just knock
ed out the free seed distribution
clause OF the agricultural bill. Sen.
ator Kenyon, who led the fight agains.
the amendment, said on the senate
floor:
There is no more reason for send.
ing out free seeds than for sending
out free clothespins or collie rene.
dies"

BRITISH SAY SEIZURE
OF ENEMIES Is LEGAL
Note Reaching u. S. Said to Contend
They Can Keep Men From
Joining Hostile Forces.

Great Britain's explanation of her re-
| fusal to release the thirty-eight Germans,
Austrians and Turks taken from the
American steamer China, near Shanghai,
on February 10. has been communicated
to Secretary of State Lansing. 1t is I'M
defstood to insist on the right of a bel
| ligerent to seize enemy subjects return
| ing to take part in the war. 1t was in
tended to make the text OF the British
Communication public last night, but
after the Cabinet meeting, publication
was withheld until certain points are
cleared I'D with Great Britain.
| The British note recognizes that Ameri-
can ships are entitled to the protection
of the flag But Great Britain has al
ways commended that this does not render
ship immune from visit and search I'M
der international law, nor does II mean
that a belligerent has not the right to
preventing enemy subjects from joining
the armed forces of the enemy.
In the present cases the chief point of
| consideration is whether or not the
enemy subjects taken OF American ships
really intended to Join the armed forces
of the enemy.
Several times in the course of the pres
ent war the United States has called
both Great Britain and France to &C
count for specific cases of taking pas
sengers of American ships. A few
months after the war. Arthur Piepen-
| brink, a steward on the American steam
er Windber. was seized from the ship on
the high seas by a French cruiser and
imprisoned in one of the British West
! indies. The United States requested and
secured his release
