GREAT BRITAIN
WARNED AGAIN
BY PRESIDENT
Strong Protests Against Pol
icy Of Selling American
Mails on Open Sea to Be
Forwarded.

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LsssEo ~lsGI
Washington May 22.--President
Wilson tonight completed a note Wig
orously renewing the protest of the
United States to Great Britain against
Interference with American mails
The communication is expected to
go forward tomorrow. Secretary
Lansing and legal experts at the State
department, made the original draft
of the note and the president revised
its phraseology. II is made up large
ly of legal arguments to meet the
contentious of Great Britain in the
memorandum concurred in by
France, presented to the state de-
partment several weeks ago. The
United States takes the position that
practices complained Of in its. first
complaint on the subject have been
continued and that the American
government must now insist more en-
phatically that they cease.
state department officials consider
that the chief weakness in the posi-
ton of Great Britain is her policy OF
taking neutral mail vessels into Brit
ish jurisdiction and submitting them
to local censorship regulations. II is
understood that it is on this point that
the renewed protest Is chiefly based
The British memorandum avoided
this question. Rapid transmission
was promised to true correspond
ence" but the right to seize contra
band sent in the mails was main
tanned.
The Hague convention Of 1907, the
United states contends, guarantees
the inviolability of postal corre-
spondence and the new note again
points to the inconvenience and ac-
tual money loss resulting from the
continuance of the British policy Of
taking neutral mail vessels into Brit
ish ports and there examining and de-
taining the mails. A mass OF evidence
has been collected showing the effects
on American business of the British
policy

Field Headquarters, May II (Via
Wireless TO Columbus, n. NJ, May 22)
Cavalry returning here today from
far southern marches brought news
of brusquc demands made upon them
by General Cavazos, the Carrancista
officer in command of several thous-
and men now policing the section OF
chihuahua from Parral northward to
San Antonio.
The demands were made on the
Eleventh cavalry, in command of Ma
tor Robert l.. Howe n few days ago.
This cavalry, after annihilating half
of large band Of Villistas at Ojos
Azules, was resting south of san An
tonic, making ready to clean up the
remainder of the bandits.
Villlstas Arc Cautious.
For the first week after their de-
feat these Villistas never appeared In
groups of moro than four, so the Am
orleans played waiting game. Gen
cral Cavazos first demanded from
Major Howe the corn which the Ann
erican troopers had seized from the
defeated Villistas. Next the Carran-
"a leader demanded that he be given
the horses which the Americans had
taken. He was informed that any
property would be paid for in full
but that the money would be given
to the original owner Of the property.
Finally, Generaly Cavazos demanded
that the Americans retreat north
ward. This was refused flatly. The
Carranza commander then requested
permission to march past. or through
the American position. to consolidate
his command with reinforcements
and this was granted,
Many Small Boys.
The Americans were drawn up on
the crest of hill when the Carran-
cistas marched past. a bearded
American soldier father Of "A family
who watched them, said today: II
am sure that half OF that command
was composed of boys Some of
them appeared not more than thir-
teen or fourteen years of age,
ut was by such troops that we
were told we had been threatened.
Those boys would not stand one
chance in Il thousand against our ex-
pert shots--it would be almost mur-
der to engage them
Immediately after this incident on
the hill, Major Howe was ordered to
fall back on account Of progress
made at the conference between
Washington and Carranza officials
for settlement of the Mexican bandit
troubles. After the Americans had
withdrawn, there were celebrations
and shouts of victory" in San Anto-
MO and nearby towns.

trict attorney in which he recited
Waites life history and gave COM

the testimony Of Or. Albertus Adair
Moore. waite. the witness declared,

"if the arsenic administration before
death would show in an autopsy, as

when used in embalming fluid"
The witness said that he replied that

The Austrians for their offensive.
according to Rome advices, have been
heavily reinforced In men and guns.
Since the beginning of the offensive,
Vienna asserts, more than $4,000 men
have been taken prisoner and 1fa
cannon have been captured by the
Austrians.
In the region of Verdun. both the
French and Germans claim successes
for their arms at various points. An
interesting point In the latest French
official communication is the state
menl that the French have penetrated
Fort Douamont, northeast of Verdun,
which the Germans stormed and cap
tured February %, four days after the
commencement of the assault on Ner-
dun, and from which all attempts to
drive them out proved futile. The
Germans, however. still hold the
northern part Of Fort Douaumont. A
violent attack also has netted the
French several German positions on
front Of about "A mile and a quarter
east Of the village of Douaumont. To
the northeast of Verdun, the French
have forced out the Germans from po-
sitions south of Hin 2S7 and west Of

Gain by Germans.

Berlin, on the other hand, says the
Germans to the northwest Of Verdun
stormed the eastern spurs of Hill 3O4
and held them against repeated coun-
ter-attacks. In this fighting the
French are declared to have lost heaV-
lily in men killed or wounded.
Admission is made in the Berlin
report of the capture by the French
of quarry south of iIaudrcmont.
northeast of Verdun.
Heavy losses in men were suffered
by the British when the Germans
took trenches from them over a front
of about a mile and quarter near
Givenehy and in counter-attacks to
regain them, according to Berlin.
The situation generally on the rus
sian front remains unchanged.
The British operating against the
Turks in Mesopotamia gradually are
drawing nearer Kut-el-Amara, where
a large number of their officers and
men, who recently surrendered, are
still being held captive. The British
who have been reinforced by Russian
cavalry. now have reached the region
south of Kut-el-Amarn.
