New Mail Seizure Protest

C OUR months ago to-day this government
addressed to the government Of Great
Britain a formal protest against British vio-
lations of international law in the seizure OF
neutral mails. A prompt response prom
ised. but the only fulfilment Of that promise
has. been sketchy. evasive and disingeuuous
memorandum, which Secretary Lansing very
properly declined to dignity by reply.
Meanwhile the injury has gone on Letters
OF American business men, some OF them con-
tanning trade secrets and others containing
drafts and bills Of lading, have been seized.
Sometimes they have been lost or destroyed.
and on other occasions delayed the trans
actions to which they related have fallen to
earth.
War Secretary Lloyd George has denied
that the trade secrets of Americans have been
impaired to British firms, but of course he
means merely that such breaches of faith
have not been committed with the connivance
or approval Of the War Office. There seems
to he no question that information cleaned
from such violated correspondence has been
utilized TO promote the trade interests OF the
British government and of the British people.
President Wilson'S conference with Am
bassador Page is reputed to have been pre-
limnary to and stronger protest. not
only against the original offending and the
continuance of that offending, but against the
discourteous omission to answer the Amer
lean note.
There signs of new activity on the part
OF the British embassy at Washington. An
omissary has been dspa tChed to New York TO
confer with bankers and exporters there and
endeavor to satisfy their complaints. From
all such negotiations the American govern
ment stands aloof. declining TO give its APP
prevail to compromise which at the best in
wolves no more than the amelioration OF an
oppressive, unjust and illegal practice
The long-delayed answer To the note prob
ably will be forthcoming soon. not because
Of British change of heart, but because of
the retaliatory legislation adopted at the last
session of Congress. and which allied diplo-
mats have been at such pains to declare in
valid. President Wilson is armed with ample
power to punish belligerent DETERMINATIONS
against the people OF this country Great
Britain understands the United States does
not want war and has been taking advantage
OF this knowledge. Now war will not be
| necessary. Ample punishment may be in
ficted by the application of embargoes and
trade restrictions of our own.
Great Britain. under the Law of nations and
the Geneva convention, has exactly the same
right TO rifle letters taken from a neutral
ship. sailing on the high from one ncu-
trail port TO another, she would have to
dcspoil a mail pouch consigned from Rich
mond to New York. If there is any Britannia
failure of comprehension on this point il will
he remedied when Ambassador Page gets
back to London.

Richmond is essentially a law-abiding city.

of the law or half-hearted attempts to enforce
it. as have made a number of other dry COM

how individuals voted on the question, II Is

police to compel strict compliance with the
law and to pursue those who attempt TO evade

Railroads SHOW Their Sense

a LREADY there is apparent a revision of
a railroad judgment as TO the moral qua lily
of the Adamson eght-hour-day bill and it's
probable effect on railroad industry. The
railroads advisory committee composed OF
the executive hoads of fourteen of the prin-
cipa systems OF the country decided on
Wednesday to give il fair trial and to seek
to speed up freight trains so as to accomp-
fish in eight hours what now requires ten.

Obviously. President Wilson told the
railroad representatives while the Washing

only way in which the actual fea sibility OF
the eight-hour day can be determined If il
is not feasible il will not endure. for the
Adamson bills requirements cease to be cf-

investigate its operation has made it's find

endeavOr 10 have Congress enact the re-
mainder of the recommendations made by
President Wilson. including compulsory in
vcstgation before a strike or lockout may
be declared.
II is true the railroads have announced in
a later statement, that they have not sunk
their objection TO the law, and that their legal
advisers still are considering the question of
legality, but while the lawyers investigate
the operating officials Of the companies will
investigate also. The cight-hour day is to
have chance to prove or disprove its wisdom
These decisions show large quantity of
hard sense possessed by responsible railroad
executives. but they leave in a bad way those
critics OF presidential and congressi onal action
who branded the Adamson law unconstitu-

other men to go about their work in the

all. From his early youth, he dedicated him
self to that high purpose, and the years
went on--through war, reconstruction and
the battlings OF a people and. later. through
war, batt!ings and the strengthening OF a
faith-his dedication became conservation
and the light that never was on sea or land
shone about ali his works.
Before him he had the memory OF a father
sainted in the minds that knew his mind and
above him he gazed upward TO tho light of
another Father, and strove tina it might shine
on him and all the people And. though he
walked meekly before men. toward the end
of his life believing hunlhy that his physical
weakness united him for his great pastorate
