IMMIGRATION GUEssEs AND WAR FACTS.

We are dealing with guesses in the natter OF European emigration
after the war. We ar dealing with known facts in the matter of a great

MINISTER'S APPLAUD
 WILSON'S SPEECH
President Tells Them He Always
 Accepts Challenge to Fight

New York, Jan. 28.-President Will son delivered a vigorous address be- lore the Clerical Conference of the iFederation of Churches here yester- day Tn Aeolian hall. The heart of his thought was that he loved peace, but that he believed she ought to be a lady with d backbone.
 More than 500 ministers heard from the president somewhat stronger Ian guage, perhaps, than they had expect ed. While the great majority of them were obviously heartily in accord with his views there were a few who glanced at each other doubtfully and shook their. heads. These seemed to be surprised when the president said
 Accepts Challenge to Fight.
 1T always accept, perhaps by some impulse of my native blood, the chal- lenge to a fight"
 But there was applause loud and long when he told them that while he Was devoted to the cause of peace it was not the peace inconsistent with the maintenance of self-respcct or in- consistent with what was right. Peace with justice, but not aggression was the principle that guided him.
 Stiffening of Attitude.
 He denied that America had grown cold to the great things for which our government was created. He said that our neutrality was not a formal mat ter. The trend of the speech, to many of his hearers, indicated that he was striving to undo in the public mind an opinion that might have been cre- ated by his too proud to fight speech months ago; and that he was assur- ing the country that there had been definite stiffening of attitude on the Rart of the government.
 N The president was introduced by the Rev. pr. s. Edward Young, pastor of the Bedford church., Brooklyn. pr. Young said that no other president in the history of the country had ever had so many prayers offered in his be- half and that only Abraham Lincoln had carried a heavier burden. The Rev. pr. Nehemiah Boynton of the Clinton avenue Congregational church, Brooklyn, told the president that he was among friends who had no favors to ask and no offices to seek.

AMERICAN PROTEST
 ON MAIL SEIZURE
Text of T. S. Note to Berlin Reveals ~
 Diplomatic Pouches Have Been F. S. ..a, s- -. 4.r zrs s'r | Treated "VexatfousIy."

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The text of the American protest to Great Britain against interference with neutral uails, made public last night, reveals that diplomatic and consular pouches have been treated in manner the United States considers 'vexatiously inquisitorial." The note describes the practices of British officials as "un- warranted interferences, and in ur- gently requesting prompt reply points out that "a strong feeling is being aroused" in this country by the loss of valuable letters, while foreign banks are refusing to cash American drafts because they have no assur- ances that drafts are secure in the mails.
 The United States declares that par eel post articles are entitled to the exemptions of neutral trade, and de- nies the right of Great Britain to take neutral mail ships into British juris- diction for purposes of search and thsn submit them to local censorship regulations. It also denies that the British government has any authority over neutral sealed mails on ships which merely touch at British ports.
 With the text of the American note was mGkle public Great Britains ad Interim reply saying that questions of principle raised by the United States have made it necessary for Great Brit ain to consult her allies before an- swering finally, and indicating that there will be no unnecessary delay In the negotiations.
