1t was well toward the end of the
speech before the blind senator took
up the question of Wilson IS interna-
tional policies. This phase of the ad

Europe has to sean every day"
Discussion of the Mexican question
was prefaced by the senator with the
statement that Mexico is "nation of
l5,0O0,000 people, of whom 14,000,00O
are untitled for elf-government, but
all of whom are animated by a desire

"We have reorganized our system of

such an occasion is met by an extra

carry United States mail to Germany,
the post office department announced
today. 1t depends on the acceptance
by the submarines IS owners of the de-
partments terms.
A few weeks ago Ambassador Bern
storff took the matter up with the
state department saying the sub
marines owners would carry mail at
the rate of 81 pound, if specially
constructed containers were provided.
The postofice department countered
with the proposal to pay only the
regular rate for carrying mail, less
than tenth that asked by the sub
marine. The department stipulated
also that only first class mail would
be sent in this manner and only the
usual receptacles provided. The sub
marines owners agreed - accept the
regular rate, but have not yet agreed
to the provision concerning containers.
