That "Lawless : .ctice" of
Interfering : n Mails
Must : .ase
AMERICAN NOTE
is REVEALED
United States Issued Warn
ing to Great Britain
and France

Washington, May 27.-The United
States, denouncing interference with neu-
trail mails, has notified Great Britain and
France that it can no longer tolerate the
wrongs which American citizens have suf-.
fered and continue to suffer through the
"lawless practice" those governments
have INDUCED in, and that only radi-
cal change Of policy, restoring the United
States to its full rights as neutral
power, will be satisfactory.
This notification is given in the latest
American communication to the two gov.
emments, the text of which was made
public by the state department last night.
The time in which che change must be
effected is not specified, but the United
States expects prompt action.
Generous and vexatious" abuses which
have been perpetrated by the British
and French governments in seizing and
censoring neutral mails are reeited in
the communication, and answers are
made to the legal arguments contained
in the reply of the entente governments
to the first American note on the sub
ject. 1t is vigorously set forth that
not only have American commercial in
terests been injured, but that the rights
of property have been violated and the
rules of international law and custom
palpably disregarded. Notice is served
that the United States soon will press
claims against the British and French
governments for the losses which already
have been sustained.
The concluding clause of the note
follows:
"The government of the United States
in view of the improper methods EN-
ployed by the British and French author
ties in interrupting mails passing be-
and the enemies of Great Britain, can
no longer tolerate the wrongs which
sitizens of the United States have suf-
'ered and continue TO suffer through these
To submit TO a lawless prae-
lice of this character would open the
loor to repeated violations of interna
,ional law by the belligerent powers on
,he ground of military necessity of which
he violator would be the sole Judge.
,Ianifestly a neutral nation cannot per-
nit it's rights on the high seas to be
by belligerents or the ex-
rcise of those rights to be permitted or
Ienied arbitrarily by the government Of
warning nation. The rights of neutrals
re as sacred as the rights OF belligerents
nd must be as strictly observed"
''TThe government of the United States,
onfdent in the regard for international
aw and the rights of neutrals, which the
british and French governments have so
ften proclaimed and the disregard Of
yhich they have urged so vigorously
gainst their enemies in the present war,
xpects the present practice of the Brit
III and French authorities in the treat
lent of mails from or to the United
tates to cease, and belligerent rights, as
sercised, to conform to the principal
overning the passage of mail matter and
, the recognized practice Of nations.
My a radical change in the present
ritish and French policy, restoring to
he United States its full rights as a neu
al power. will satisfy this government"

Children Taught They Must BE

First, Japanese Next

educators, you should point the
way to United States instead OF ia.
pan, in your teachings. You must
bear in mind that the children who
are receiving their education will be.
come American citizens said Consul
General r. Moroi this morning IN an
opening address before the members
of the Japanese Teachers Associa.
tion, which met in. general session at
the Japanese high school.
American education must be first.
Then the teachings of Japan may fol
low in, their course. 1t is the duty OF
all to cooperate with the American
educators in obtaining the best re.
suits. 1t is unnecessary to remind
you that we are now in the United
States and not Japan, and the nfe
and surroundings will be American.
Consult General MoroI was one of
the first to advocate the change in
text books here to conform more with
the American methods of teaching,
and the members present are in per.
feet accord with the views of the con-
sul.general.
DIR. " Haga, professor in the I'm
perial university, will address the
members of the association upon his
arrival, and will aid In compiling new
text books for use in the Japanese
schools. Dr. Haga, in company with
four other educators, will arrive here

in the islands for at least one month.

.TALkOF FUSION
|. OF TWO BOURBON
FACTIONS HEARD
Some Democrats Think Glove
Feast" Near; Organization
Meeting Tomorrow
WHICH SIDE TO YIELD
IS NOT IN FORECAST
Date of Ratification Will Be
Determined BY Central
. Committeeman

There is talk in Pauahi street of the
possibility of a fusion of the So
called Pinkham and McCandless-Wil-
son factions of the local Democratic
Earty. Those who claim to have the
party dope" at their fingers ends
say that such state of affairs may
come to exist, and within very short
time. But which side will give way
should the purported fusion become a
fact, is not stated. No one seems to
be willing to talk on this question.
One well-informed Democrat, an ad-
herent Of the McCandless- Wilson fac
tion, said today there is strong feel
ing In the party that all BourbOns
should get together In the coming pri-
maries and boost the party candidates
for the house and senate, irrespective
of the factions to which they may be-
long r: r.. l
This is the opinion of every Demo
crat have thus far talked to" he said.
IF the two factions would get togeth-
er and exercise little common sense,
believe they could hit upon plan
of cooperation which would be OF in
valuable benefit to the party. And
such a cooperation would be extreme
" valuable in the coming primaries" :"
The. territorial central committee
will meet at 7::30 o'clock tomorrow
evening in the office of National Com
mitteeman John H. Wilson in Pauahi
street, at which time the party will be
organized for the coming campaign7Ht
the primaries. It Is expected that re-
ports win be received from those
members who expect to be candidates
for the house and senate.
Another matter of Importance to be
taken UP will be the setting Of date
for the proposed ratification meeting,
probably to be held at Aala park, at
which time the present national adj
ministration will be endorsed. Those
likely to speak at the meeting are l..
L. McCandless, ]. H. Wilson, Prof. w.
A. Bryan, chairman of the central
committee; M. C. Pacheco and Attor-
ney j. Lightfoot.
At tomorrow's meeting the central
COMMITTEES intends to throw some

to get action on the part of those
members who have seats in the upper
and lower houses of the next legisla-
ture in view. Within few days the
precincts will tegin holding meetings
to organize for the primaries CAM
paign and select their candidates for

II was announced in Pauahi street
political circles today that there is
some doubt as to whether Link" Nc
Candless will be candidate for dele
gate. He has not yet announced him
self, and the central committee ap-
pears to be in a quandary aslto other
candidates. In case he declines to run.
Pauahi street Democrats have ex.
pressed themselves as feeling that

Forty-one per cent of those who took
the recent teachers examinations at

The high percentage is not due to
