So spoke the wives and daughters OF

the Philadelphia University museum
DR.. Clarence S. Fisher, director of the
expedition, has sent report of the op-
erations.
The vanity of the women of those
early df%s was revealed by some an
cient graves which the university ex-
plorers opened. In several of these
graves they found highly polished
bronze mirrors, which had been buried
with the women, who were supposed to
need them after death.
Another grave, that of a child, con-

nourish the dead. In another dog

STRONG PROTEST
SENT TOrbR|T|SH
ON MAIL SEIZURE
Interference and censoring of
Matter to Neutral Countries
Vigorously Resented.

WASHINGTON, jan 8. - The
United States has sent to Ambassador
Page at London for presentation 20
the British foreign office note Wig
orously protesting against the British
authorities interfering with and CEN
sorng mails from the United States
to neutral European countries.
The note is understood to have al
ready been delivered to the British
foreign Office.
The state department plans to
make public it's text here later to-
day.
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived from American business men
and others that their mails destined
to points in neutral European coun-
tries have been opened by the British
censors.
Steamships carrying neutral mails
to and from the United States have
been held up by British warships and
taken to British ports, where prac-
tically all mails have been removed
by the British authorities.
The steamships then have been al
lowed to proceed and the mails de-
tained and examined by the British
censors. After complete examina-
tlons the mails have been sent for
ward to their destination. This has
resulted in much delay, and in some
instances confscation of correspond
ence.

DisavoWaI.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Complete
and final settlement of all submarine
controversies with the central pow
ers. including the Lusitania and also
the Persia incident, was approached
today. A most roseate view was
taken by officials. Pessimism over
threatened breach of diplomatic Ie~
lations was largely dissipated.
The favorable stage as affects un-
dersea warfare of the Teutonie allies
reached today was:
From both Germany and Austria
this government has formal binding
pledges for future proper submarine
operations, according to international
law.
The United States has concern only
with what reparation shall be made
ir1 the Persia and Lusitania cases
Germany, like Austria, has made a
broad. sweeping pledge. applying to
all enemy merchant ships. passenger
liners as well as freighters, in the
Mediterranean insuring safety of non
combatants from unwarned sub
marine attacks if the enemy vessels
do not try to escape.
Forerunner of Austrian Action.
Germany has promised To disavow
the Persias sinking if n German U
boat was responsible. Officials re
gard this as u forerunner Of similar
action by Austria.
Negotiations with Germany over
the Lusitania have resulted in almost
closing the incident, with promise
of reparation for American lives lost;
the only unsettled point being that of
disavowal by Germany.
There was authority for the state
ment that this government will not
insist upon an ,lnequivocal disavowaL
Promise of Germany to make repara-
ton for American lives may be con-
sidered sufficient admission by Ger
many OF her wrongful act in sinking
the Busitania.

make public today Germany's last
mote regarding the sinking OF the
American schooner William p. Frye.
in which Germany is reported to have
agreed with the United States that
open boats in midocean shall not be
considered a place of safety
Expect Vienna Representations.
Officials regarded il as inconceiv-
able that Austria would not take the
same course as announced by Ger
many regarding disavowal of the
Persia incident German influence at
Vienna was expected alone to ins'ire
prompt presentation by Austria Of Il
similar communication, probably
through Ambassador Penfield.
Nationality Of the submersible at
taclling the Persia was left further
in doubt by Germany's note. That
the German government believes n
German boat may have been respon-
sible was indicated. Failure of both
OF Germany and Austria to receive
any report so far from their subma
rine zeets led 10 the belief that the
exact cause Of the Persia's loss may
never be known.

With an enrolment of 250 pupils in
the vauxhall School. Union township.
100 are i'll with the measles and q
number of others are down with the
grip. The epidemic of measles has
been prevalent for more than a week.
On Monday, sixty-four pupils were
out and this number was increased
until yesterday the century mark was

physicians have been kept busy at
tending TO patients who are down
with the disease.
Fifty pupils in the Connecticut
Farms High and grammar schools are
ill with the grip, according to Prin-
cipal Ambrose B. Klein. There are
no cases of measles in the school. The
Unionville school has so far escaped
without any grip or measles cases.
To add TO the troubles Of the people
in the VauXhall section it has been
found necessary to close the Naux-
hall School until such time as q
proper heating system can be in
stalled. This action was taken yes
terday afternoon by the Union Town
ship Board of Education upon the
recommendation of Supervising Prin-
cipal of Schools Edward V. Welton.
Three or four times it has been neces-
sary for the teachers to dismiss their
classes on account of the low temper
ature. At other times it has bean
necessary for teachers and pupils to
wear their outer coats.
The school was built this year. The
heating system cost $500 and was
installed by the American Heating
Company. of Philadelphia. The com
pany is trying to- remedy conditions.
A powerful fan has been installed 20

At the last meeting of the board it
was decided to take the matter uD
with the general contractor for the

and ask him to see that the heating
company remedied conditions.
The Board of Education will hold a
