been long desired; another essential
the contractors contend, is the need of
a new law that will carry stiff enough
penalties to require strict obedience.
In many instances builders and con-
tractors snicker in their sleeves at
the apparent failure of building In
spector Grove to obtain obedience to
the present regulations in house con-
struction. They refer with more or
less sarcasm to the unique instance of
the York street apartment house.

British Reply to Protest
Against Holding of Mails
Handed to U. S. Embassy

London, Jan. 26.-The foreign Office
handed to the American embassy to-
day an ad interim reply to the Amer
lean protest against detention of
mails. The note states that a formal
answer to the representations of the
United States was made as soon as the
French government has signifed its
approval of the attitude of Great
Britain 1t is understood the formal
reply will defend the action of the
British authorities by citing evidence
that Germans have been abusing the
privileges of first class mails. The
British government will rely on the
postal conventions accepted at The
Hague for justification of its meas
ures.
The United States protested to
Great Britain last month against in
terfering with mails between this
country and Sweden. Large quanti-
ties of mail matter, particularly par
GELS post packages have been taken
from a number of steamships which

Osborne, American consul at Havre,
in his report to Washington on the
sinking of the Norwegian bark Silius,
says:
The seven Americans on the bark
were looking after a cargo of oats
which was consigned to the French
government. These men and the
members of the crew have been ques-
toned by the consul. who has cabled
a summary of their testimony to
Washington. Their testimony, it is
said, leaves no doubt that the Silius
was torpedoed without warning. a
full report on the sinking Of the ves-
sci will be mailed to Washington
Four German submarines are re-
ported to be in the English channel
prepared to enforce rigidly Germanys
recently announced policy of naval
warfare.
The French press is engrossed with
the battle of Verdun and publishes
without comment the latest German
memorandum regarding submarine
warfare and the news Of the sinking
of the Silus. The Temps, however
remarks that the tOrpedoine Of the
silius cannot fail to reopen the entire
conflict between the United States
and Germany. incidentally it re-
marks that the incursion OF Mexican
bandits into American territory bears
the stamp Of German completely.
