WILL NO LONGER
TOLERATE WRONGS
UNITED STATES sENna Mo
GREAT BRITAIN AND
FRANCE,
RIGHTS AS NEUTRAL POwsD
Denounees Interference With MAJ
and Announces Only Radi,.,
Change Will Satisfy.

Washington.-The United Co..
denouncing interference with nautss,
mails, has notified Great Britain va
France that it can no longer toIos"4 u
the wrongs which American cit;.oN
nave suffered and continue To ovSa
through the "lawless practice" thae
governments have INDUCED in Ooe
that only q radical change in noIia"
restoring the United States To ito ~,
rights as neutral power will he sotIa
factory.
This notification is given in II,
latest American communication :"
the two governments, the text .,
which has just been made public h.
the State Department. The Tina :.
which the change must be effectod
was not specified, but the UniteS
States expects prompt action.
Serious and vexatious" abuso,
perpetrated by the British and Frenrb
governments in selling and censorinr
neutral mails are recited in the com
munication and answers are made n
the legal arguments contained in tha
reply of the Entente governments n
the first American note on the suh
ject. 1t is vigorously set forth that
not only have American commercial
interests been injured, but that the
rights Of property have been violated
and the rules of international law and
custom palpably disregarded. Notice
is served that the United States soon
will press claims against the British
and French governments for losses
already sustained.
The communication quotes the clos
ing paragraphs of the Joint note Of
February Is and says this govern.
ment does not admit, as asserted
therein, that parcel post matter is
subject to the exercise Of the rights
OF police supervision, visitation and
eventual seizure which belongs to the
belligerents as to all cargoes on the
high seas. The three governments,
however, it is asserted, appear to be
in substantial agreement as to the
principle. The method of applying
the principle is the chief cause Of
difference" Continuing the commu.
nication says:
Though giving assurances that
they consider genuine correspondence
to be inviolable and that they will,
true to their engagements refrain
'on the high seas from Selling and
conf1scating such correspondence, the
Allied governments proceed to de,
prive neutral governments of the ben
efits Of these assurances by selling
and confiscating mail from vessels in
port instead of at sea-"

ed the rivers and harbors appropr1a
ton bill carrying approximately $43,
900, 1000 by a vote of 35 to 80 after
adding many amendments.

ence of the two houses. The fight
against it, begun by Senator Kenyon

ing, Lane, Newlands, Pittman, Pome-

son, all Democrats, voted with the

en- Senator Kenyon predicted it would
be the last of it's kind to pass an
American Congress-.
"You are voting at least $4,000, 600
into this bill that is absolutely unjus'
tifiable," said Senator Kenyon. You
are dumping thousands of dollars in
streams where commerce is rapidly
disappearing and into streams with
less than a foot of water in them and
into streams that you could not rec
ognize as such when you crossed
them.
Nine Democratic and % Republi-
can Senators voted against the bill
They were:
Democrats: Ashurst, Gore, Hollis,
Husting, Newlands, Pomerene, Sha-
froth, Taggart and Thompson.

Gratis, sought to cast negative votes,
but could not transfer their pairs.

bill were Senators Brandegee, Nc
Lean, Nelson, Oliver, Poindexter,
Smith of Michigan, and Sterling.

gate Federal Tax Returns.
Washington Secretary McAdoo has
informed Chairman Lobeck of the
house committee on expenditures in
the treasury department, that the de-
partment is enforcing the income tax
law with all the vigor which the
small force authorized by congress will
permit" but that an adequate office
and field force for the Investigation of
returns must be provided if the gov
eminent is to get all it is entitled to
under the law.
Mr.. McAdoo's letter which replies
to the Heating resolutions regarding
alleged income tax frauds and eva
sions, expressed regret that Congress
authorized only half of the one mill
lion dollar inchease asked for to pro-
vide an adequate method of collecting
the income tax, and says it is hoped
that the remainder may yet be grant
ed. He denies a report that the gov
eminent was losing $32O,OOO,OOO an
nually by income tax frauds explaining
that this estimate was based on the as
sumption that the annual national in.
come is $46,0OO,OO0,OOO.

has given George Washington the cred

he said they were good soldiers and
good shots because their method of liv-

the same reasoning, the people of today

warned and whether she resisted cap
ture. The fact that Consul Armstrong
makes the statement that the ship was
torpedoed. convinces officials here that
evidence is, at hand to show that a sub
marine and not a mine was responsible,
Ohcials can conceive of only one reason
which could Justify the sinking of the
ship namely resistance to capture. 1t
Is not known whether the Englishm
was armed or not, but this point is not
considered of Importance In itself, be-
cause of the position taken by the United
States that merchantmen have the right
to carry defensive armament
1t is explained that the question Of
whether the ship was sunk with or with
out warning will also not greatly affect
the issue, as the circumstances them
selves show that no provision was made
for the safety of the crew. In other
words, even IL the submarine commander

the passengers are able to clear up the
point as to whether 1t was a mine or a

One very unpleasant feature of the
apparent renewed German submarine
activity is the fact that 1t gives color
to unconfirmed reports reaching WASH
ington that the German secret orders
to submarine commanders which went
into effect on February g did not in any
way curtail their Instructions to fit the
