The expedition was in Mexico just 10
days. 1t failed to capture or wipe out
the main body Of the Big Bend maraud-

the bandits and left behind two others

their last desperate fling before fleeing

The return of the expedition was Inn

PROTESTS SEIZURE OF MAIL
President Wilson Sends Vigorous Note
to Great Britain on subIect-De-
clares Malls lnViolate.

Washington President Wilson has
completed a note vigorously renewing
the protest OF the United States to
Great Britain against interference with
American mails. This communication
is expected to go forward at once.
Secretary Lansing and legal experts
at the state department made the orig
inal draft of the note, and the presi-
dent revised its phraseology. 1t Is
made up largely Of legal arguments to
meet the contentious Of Great Britain
in memorandum, concurred in by
France, presented to the state depart
ment several weeks ago. The United
States takes the position that practices
complained of in its first note on the
subject have been continued and that
the American government must now
insist more emphatically that they
cease.
The state department officials con-
slider that the chief weakness OF Great
Britain's position is her policy of TAX
ing neutral mail vessels into British
! Jurisdiction and submitting them to
local censorship regulations. 1t is un'
derstood that 1t is on this point that
the renewed protest is chiefly based.
The British memorandum avoided
this phase Of the question. RAPID
transmission was promised to true
correspondence" but the right to seize
contrahand sent in the mails was main
tanned.
The Hague convention of 1907, the
United States contends, guarantees the
inviolability of postal correspondence
and the new note again points to thu
inconvenience and actual money los'
resulting from the cintinuance OF thu
British policy of taking neutral mai
vessels into British ports and there ez
aiming and OBTAINING the mails. !
