Amendment Ties His Hands.


Washington. Sept. IS. - Popular
clamor for retaliation against the Al
lied mail censorship and seizures finds
the government without power 70 act,
it was declared at the State Depart
ment to-day. The Phelan amendment,
which was stricken out Of the revenue
bill because the State Department be-
'eved it too drastic, was the only one
Of the "reprissl measures that applied
20 interference with the mails"
The reply 20 this governments last
complaint is understood 20 be on the
way from London. although the State
Department has no official information
OF il. It IS understood that this new
note will insist on the right TO censor
all mails that pass under Allied juris-
dction, as in the past. The President,
lacking the power which the Phelan
amendment would have given him TO
retaliate, therefore has no means. short
Of armed force, Of compelling change

The last American note minated
that the United States would press
claims for damages resulting from the

government was not ready TO do this.
