 Forunto you is born this day in -he city of David a saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
 And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in sWaddling clothes, lying in manager And suddenly there was with the angle multitude of the heavenly host prasing God and saying Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace good will teWard men.

BRITAIN TRIES
To EVADE BLAME
Says Delays of Mail, Caus-
ing Complaints, Not
Britain'S Fault.

London, Eng July 24.-Great Britain,
in its latest note to the United States
regarding American complaints rela-
tive to interference with neutral mails,
seeks in every possible manner to
evade responsibility for the delays
and makes no promise of tightening the
Aprincipal hardships which that inter-
ference causes, save TO promise the
more speedy censorship Of mail REFER
ing TO perishable shipments.
The two principal cases referred to in
the present memorandum are those Of
the Macniff Horticultural company. of
New York. and the Standard Under
ground Cable company, Of Pittsburg
The Macniff company complained Of the
loss of perishable goods, owing to the
detention by the censorship of mailing
documents relating thereto.
More Speedy Censorship
The British government states that
so soon as the matter was brought to
its attention 1t arranged to have
special mail for shipping papers which
would be Immediately censored also
that no delay would occur In the case
of the cable company it is stated that
the government of the United States
appeared 20 insinUate" that the delay
in the mail of the cable company was
QlEtClAN connected Win the laCL mat
a British competitor had obtained a
contract for which that company had
rendered bids"
. His majesty's government" the note
continues, is astonished that such an
iasinuation should be made, especially
is the complaint from the cable com
pany appears not to have been ade-
Quately examined
The memorandum goes on to show
in considerable detail that tenders for
contracts referred to must have passed
between the United States and Norway
on a date prior to that upon which the
censorship Of Scandinavian mails be-
gan
Claims Charges Unsupported.
After detailing other causes. the note
continues:
The specific complaints do not sup

His majesty's government will al
ways be ready to explain in detail the I
working Of the censorship. as there is
nothing regarding il which they wish I
