are now being resold at 1880 10 81

Surely prosperity has hit Detroit
good and hard, and Judging by the
way the city is growing and the new
industries locating here. the boom
Is not bubble. All classes Of peo-
pie are buying Detroit real estate be
cause there is practically no risk,

contrary they had been told to do ey-
cry thing possible to avoid the craft,
and that only in the event of a hos
tile submarine approaching without
warning near enough to use bombs
or torpedoes were the shippers auth
orized TO use their guns.
All things considered the state de-
partment is understood TO feel that
the possibility is more or less remote
of difficulties arising in the near fu-
ture as a result of the new German
and Austrian policy. In the first place
officials believe that commanders of
German and Austrian submarines
will take particular care not TO attack
without warning any armed merch-
ant vessels upon which there may be
Americans. This belief is strengthen
ed BY the declaration in the German
note received which was acquieseed
in BY Austria through Baron Zwiedi-
mex, charge of the embassy here, that
the orders issued TO the naval COM
manders. we're so formulated as TO
prevent the destruction of enemy
liners o account OF their arma-
ment unless such armament is prov

and Submarine Warfare

Germany and Submarine Warfare
Germany, in a formal note pre-
sented by Count Won Bernstorff TO
Secretary Lansing on Monday, reiter-
ates regarding the future
conduct OF submarine warfare given
in the Lusitania case; declares those
have not been modified
BY the memorandum setting forth its
intention to treat armed merchant
men of the entente allies as auxiliary
cruisers after midnight Tuesday. and
attempts to justify the issuance OF
the memorandum by presenting evil
dence and assertions designed TO
prove that the British government
has instructed merchantmen TO use
their armament for purposes of at
tack in violation of assurances given
to the United States.
Later il was said at the state de-
partment that while the United
States stood unalterably for the right
of merchant ships to carry guns for
defense. ii was not now and never
had been c%ontending that Americans
could travel with immunity on ships
having orders to act extensively. II
was indicated that. although Seere-
tary Lansing was not prepared at this
time TO accept as conclusive the ale
cations of Germany in regard TO the
confidential instructions claimed 10
have been given to British sea ZAP
tains. if the claims were sustained
the fact would have an important
bearing upon the future attitude Of
this government
It is felt in high official quarters
thai the question of motive is the
oazdinal consideration in determin-
ing the difference between offensive
and defensive armament.
A copy il the so-called British in
structions. which were handed to AM
bassador Gerard in Berlin and which
are construed by Secretary Lansing
to be the all-important element in
the situation as II stands at present,
have o yet arrived.
The state department makes a
broad distinction between resistance
and ~offense. II holds that a mereh-
n ship has a right to resist capture,
but not to act extensively. OF course,
il Is admitted, a vessel loses all i'm
munity while in the act of resisting.
Authoritative information received
is to the effect hat the British gov

House Adopts Space Mail Payment
System

Over bitter and persistent opposi-
ton the House on Monday, passed
the annual postoffice appropriation
bill with its provisions for substitute
ing a space basis for the present
weight system OF paying railroads for
carrying mails. and prohibiting any
increase in the existing limit of fifty
pounds on parcel post packages. The
measure carries appropriations ag-
gregating 1921, 600. 900 TO operate
the postal system during the COM
ing year.
The fight against the space pay
ment plan, long advocated by the
p~ostoffice department and vigorous
ly opposed by the railroads was led
by Representative Cannon of Illinois.
His proposal that the matter of rate
adjustment be left to the interstate
commerce commission was defeated,
70 to "a.
Representative Lewis of Maryland,
contended TO the last for a 100-pound
limit for the parcel post. He declar-
ed the lint of fifty pounds would
"hogtie" the postal service and send
up the stocks of the express compa-
MES.
The bill finally was passed with
out a record vote. A motion to send
II hack IN the committae was voted
down, Ia to 1879.
