CANADA cENsoRs U. s. MAIL.
Letters Opened at Windsor-May Seek
Bomb Plot Clues.

DETROIT, April ll-All mail from
the United States that crossed into
Canada at this poiat yesterday was
taken to the Windsor postotiiee, open
ed and read and then resealed with
stiekers bearing the word Cen
sored
Asked for an explanation, Postmas-
ter Wigle of Windsor refused to say
more than to admit that the mail from
the United States had been opened
The belief in Windsor is that the re-
markable proceeding has to do with
efforts to run down another bomb plot

FRENCH LOSE GROUND.

Forced to Yield Before Tremendous
Assaults OF the Germans.
Paris, Feb. 2s.-The French have
been compelled to give further ground
before the Germans at verdun, but
heavy reinforcements have been rush
ed to the firing line and tremendous
losses are being inflicted on the Ger
mans as they roll forward in great
masses against the French machine
guns and artillery. While the Ger
mans main effort is about Fort Dou
Aumont, fighting is in progress over
a fifty mile front from Champneuville
to st. Mihiel. Experts declare that
the German attacks are growing weak

Will hold on or near their present po-
sitions.

G0mM0NER OPPOSES WILSON,
BRYAN AGAIN TAKES STAND
AGAINST PRESIDENTIAL POL
ICY.
Would Warn Americans of Armed
Ships-Telegram Receives Praise
From Kitcllin Of North Carolina.

Washington, Feb. 25-Telegrams
to congressman from William Jen-@
nings Bryan. supporting the move
ment of warning Americans off
armed ships. began arriving today.
Representative Bailey of Pennsylva-
MIA received one and planned to read
it from the floor.
Representative Bailey, after a con-
ference with Majority Leader Kitchin,
however, simply made public the tele-
gram, which follows:
Il honestly hope that congress will
speedily announce legislation refusing
passports to Americans travelling on
belligerent ships; or, still better re-
fusing clearance to belligerent ships
carrying American passengers.
NO owner of belligerent ships will
claim that he has the right to safe
guard q contraband cargo with Amer
lean lives and no citizen should be
permitted TO endanger the peace of
the nation at a time like this Ours is
the greatest of the neutral nations and
will pro@aSly be the mediator when
the time for mediation comes. 1t
would be crime against civilization
as we'll as against our own people to
become involved in this war and thus
loan our army and navy to a Euro
pean monarch to use in settling his
quarrels.
"If congress has the right to declare
war it certainly has the right to pro-
mote peace by restraining citizens
from taking unnecessary risks. A
mayor keeps the people OF his city
out of the danger zone during a riot
Can our government afford to do less
when the world is in riot?" nt
That is right" Representative Bale
ley quoted Mr.. Kitchen as saying when
he read the telegram.

BROWN SURE LAND

FOR BIG TELESCOPE

Raymond c. Brown, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, said yesterday
that he thought there would be no diff
fculty in securing land in Honolulu on
which TO locate the immense telescope
which II. s. H. Sherman, Canadian
government astronomer and director of
the Vancouver observ atOry, has offered
to bring to this city.
at would be Il good thing to have
telescope of his magnitude, in HO-
nolulu," said Secretary Brown, land
| believe there would be no trouble in
securing suitable land for the purpose.
Making Honolulu a semi.tropic branch
Of the Lick Observatory would make
Hawaii a focal point in the scientific
world.

muki is the proper place to locate it.
There was telescope located there and

that it WAS rendered useless. ] think,

Reckoning the Cost

THO DATE the war has cost nsixty'bIllions. II
l. takes sum equal to our own greatest ma
tional debt at the close of the war TO save the
Union to pay even the annual interest on this new
debt Of Europe
That interest each year more than wipes out a
city as big and rich as Philadelphia.
1t is nearly three times our total federal gov
"rnment expenditures. d. u,'
1t would more than pay for all our country's
public school and college education every year
This added annual charge Of Europe-not the
debt, but the interest on the debt-woud build
half a dozen Panama Canals every year.
Europe's new interest would tax every inhabi-
tant of the United States $50 year and to pay
the full debt would require 5000 from every Amer
lean. "A ~
Sink one hundred and fifty buildings such as
our national Capitol in the earth and you just
about match the war debt interest.
, The deposits in San Francisco's largest savings
bank put there by 10000 depositors, would pay
the war debt interest for only six weeks
Governor Pinkham's salary for year is enough
to cancel that interest for one inmate and ten
seconds.
President Wilson's salary for year would pay
the interest for twelve and half minutes.
And the war isn't ended, but when it is ended
one would suppose that the best investment any
man in Europe could make would be steamship
ticket to the L. S. A. and so avoid that back
breaking tax for the rest of his life.

his, post in Berlin, he carried with him consider
able sum Of money, to be used in partialytreliev-
ing the suffering of the needy million war widows
and Orphans in Germany. He proposes 70 distri-
butel Ibis money through the various American
consulates. Following the amount taken by Mr.
Gerard. other sums for war relief work will be sent
to him through the state department
There is real need in Germany for this work.
said Ambassador Gerard, land in distributing the
money, shall be careful to let the German public
know from whom it comes Americans have sent
more money to other nations than to Germany
but hope the Germans will come to realize that
the people of America sympathize with the suffer
ings and needs Of the widows and orphans every
where, and willing to amelorate such condi-
tons wherever found.
III | am able to go back to Germany taking a
substantial sum of money, do not know OF any
thing better to aid relations between this country
and Germany, and when the Germans see that the
fund has been raised by committee distinctly
American, it cannot but make most excellent inn

lief may be sent to the treasurer Of the American
