PARCEL MAIL WILL BE
 RETURNED TO SENDERS

NEW YORK, May 5.-Six hundred bags of parcel post matter, comprising probably more than 5O,OOO separate packages mailed for distribution in Holland are to be returned to the senders in America because the steamship companies will not carry the mail, owing to the British seiz- ures of parcel post consignments. The British authorities contend that the parcels might reach and benefit the central powers.
 This mail has accumulated in the foreign branch postoffice here since November, 1915. The postmaster general has ordered that the postage be refunded. A temporary suspension of the shipment of parcel post to the Netherlands ordered by the postoffice department, is expected to continue until the end of the war or until Great Britain consents to let the mail pass.

LAW IMPERILS CLAIMS
 MINING MEN IN MEXICO

MEXICO CITY, May 5.-The new mining tax law, which went into ef- feet a few days ago will imperil the holdings of American mining men in that country, it is said.
 The most striking feature of the new law will be it's discouragment of large holdings of undeveioped claims for purposes of exploration or exploitation.
 Mining men are divided in opinion as to the merits of the new law Many pronounce it eminently fair Others declare that thousands or claims now held by foreign corpora tions will be given up.
 It is estimated here that the for eign holdings effected by the law are valued at more than $1,O0O,0OO,OOO in gold, the bulk of the holdings be- ing American, with large British, French and Belgian properties.
 The new schedule of taxes for regions bearing precious metals will be based on minimum and maximum holdings. The first claim will repre- sent the small mine owner holding ten or less claims, who will be called upon to pay an annual tax of $6 Mexican gold for each claim.

PROGRESS IS MADE IN
 GERMAN EAST AFRICA

LONDON, May 5.-Continuing their advance in German East Africa the British expeditionary forces have occupied the town of kondoa, i'll the district of Irangi. The statement fol- lows:
 "Telegraphing on Sunday Gen. Shuts reports that troops under Gen. Vanderventer, after defeating the en- emy before Kondoa, Irangi, on April 10, occupied that place. Prisoners were taken and considerable num- Der of casualties inflicted on the Ger man forces. which retired in the di- |rection of the Central railway.
 Kondoa is about thirty-five miles south of Umbugwe, occupation of which was reported Saturday. This is the farthest point in the interior which has been reached by the British expedition.

WOULD POPULARIZE
 USE OF SHARK MEAT

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 5.- Preliminary experiments are being conducted by the United States bu- reau of fisheries in the preparation of shark meat as a food. Fisheries experts say there is good ground for the belief that a demand for the ar ticle will be created. Even now they say, sharks are more generally eaten than is generally known, as trap fish ermen off the Massachusetts coast, ship all the larger species of sharks with one of exception, caught in their traps. The head, fins and tails are removed and the shark then looks not unlike deep water sword-fish. They are shipped to Boston and New York and sold as deepwater swordfish. the fishermen receiving from cents to 8 cents pound.
 In the United States there is prej- udice against the use of sharks for food that results in waste of what rightfully should be a resource, fish cries experts declare. In England and Wales almost 65,000,000 pounds of dogfish, valued at more than $100,- 900, were landed in 1913. As the flesh of these small sharks, when properly prepared, is palatable. there appears to be no valid reason against it's use, officials say.
