Action Held Necessary.

1t was necessary to bring the mails
to London for thorough examination
the Associated Press was told at the
foreign office. The assertion that let
tiers seized aboard liners taken. into
kirkwall were used as evidence before
tho prize court was not formally de-
MED, but the authorities were in
I. o..dlous concerning the charge. They
said the authors of the charges must
refer to letters seized either in transit
in England or aboard neutral vessels
which voluntarily call at British ports.
The prize court officials now were max
ing an investigation of the situation, and
doubtless would be able officially to deny
the charges of violating postal CORE
spondence on the high seas.
Questioned concerning the conten-
ton of the Dutch government that
securities should come under the head
of postal correspondence, which is pro-
tected by The Hague convention, Lord
Robert Cecil said:
That is matter of opinion. The
British government holds that secur-
tiles form a parcel representing valu-
able goods"

Poland and Belgium.

$50 Germany and Austria are to
solve the problem of Poland. A truly
comfortable prospect for the Poles. If
Germany wants Suwalki. there will be
no dearth of German professors to
prove that it is Lithuanian and not
Polish. Poland is to be free but not
for the Poles, for their country is re-
served for the noble function of
buffer between Germany and Russia,

BRITISH COMB. NAILS
FOR GERMAN EXPORTS
Pouches on Vessels Bound for the
United States Subject to Rigid
Inspection.

LONDON. April s.-The determination
OF the British authorities to go
through the mails with a fne-tooth
comb is indicated by the departure
from Kirkwall of the Danish liner
Frederick VIII for New York without
her mails. which have been sent to
London for examination.
Inquiries by the Associated Press at
the foreign Office developed the state
ment that the total overseas exports of
Germany, now only from 4 to per cent
of those of normal years, go exclu-
sively through the mail, with the ex-
ception of exports shipped to the
United States under license granted
cargoes purchased before March /,
1915.
In explaining this. Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of war trade, said that any
other leakage must be infinitesimal.
The minister added that the foreign
Office, therefore, felt that the examina-
ton of westward bound ships was
necessary if German trade was to be
stopped absolutely.

Warlike Intention Denied.
Friedrich Won Payer of the progress
sive peoples party said:
IF people impute' to us warlike In
tentions in America, that is untrue.
Concerning Holland. Herr Won Payer
said affairs had reached a state such as
did not concern that nation alone. He
continued: $50 far as we can see, Hol-
land finds herself compelled to protect
her coast, not against Germany. but
against England. Holland has been
warned by the tragic fate of Greece.
We not only feel ourselves racially re-
lated to Holland. but deeply. sensible OF
the fact that Holland is now suffering
not for herself alone, but largely for
Germany. The only purpose of action
against Holland is to strike blow at

Condemns o. s. Attitude.

Count Won Westarp. conservative,
Condemned the attitude of then United
States in supplying ammunition to the
entente allies and continued:
THE German people are firmly re-
solved to disregard the unjustified de-
mands of America. We shall, of course
resp ect justified interests of neutrals.
but they must acknowledge our duty
and right to defend our existence WIN
all means at our disposal
Comment of the German press indicates
that the war aims of the government
as set forth by Chancellor Won betn-
mann-Hollweg. will have the suppors
of all Germans with the exceptloD OF
the most extreme socialists. Striking
features of this editorial discussion
are the open or. .tacit assumption tnat
the chancellor's words regarding the
Polish provinces meant nathing less
than their annexation ana the -! stinn
the annexationists have no opJeetioii
to what the chancellor said.
Policy Deemed Decided.
The Kreuz Zeitung says DIR. Won
Bethmann- Hollweg spoke along the
lines of a decided annexation policy.
The comment of Theodor Wolff, editor
of the Tageblatt, refers to the state
ment issued last July by several nun
dred of the empires leading men. who
declared the incorporation into the en- :
pire of politically independent nations
would threaten German unity Herr
Wolff says he was among the signers OF
this statement. but continues
"That declaration contains nothing
that can clash with the chancellor
utterances, which had regard for the
Poles, inhabitants of the Baltic prov
inces, Lithuanians and Letts>1t can
not be maintained that these have been
hitherto politically Independent ma
tions.' the fate Of which DR.. Won Beth
announces to these
races does not mean subjugation, but
rising from subjugation."
