ALLIES REPLY TO
AMERICAN PROTEST
GIVE RENEWED PROMISES
CONCERNING SEIZURE OF
NEUTRAL MAILS.
Claim That as Americans Admit Right
OF Censorship for Purely War Pur-
poses, They Cannot Object
to Reasonable Delays.

| Washington.-Iden memorandum
from the British and French govern
ments replying to the American pro
test against seizures OF neutral malls
were delivered on Thursday to the
state department by the embassies
here. The text was not made public,
but the allies are understood to give
renewed promises that every effort
will be made to minimize delay and
annoyance caused by examination, but
to insist upon certain legal rights IN
regard to mails which the United
States has denied.
The principal complaint OF the
American government has been based
on the contention that many vessels
have been diverted from the high seas
into British ports in order to give the
British censors jurisdiction. There is
no indication that the new memorial
dunn makes any concession of princi-
pie on that point.
Reply is made In the memorandum
TO the American note OF May "a. char
acterizing the allies treatment of
malls as a "only radical change in
the present British and French policy
restoring the United States to its full
rights as a neutral power will satisfy
the government"
The allies claim that. as the United
States admits the right of censorship
for purely war purposes, 1t cannot
object to reasonable delays
TO that censorship. The
new communication Is the second to
come from that allies in the mails
which began January 4,
with the United States entering Wig |
orous protest against unwarranted lin
reference with inyiolable mail" which |
was regarded as vexatiously inquisi-
iorial. The allies replied February
Is, citing numerous cases where con-
raband had been shipped to Germany
by parcel post and stating that parcel
post, therefore. must be considered
lot as mail. but as ordinary merchan-
iise. II was promised. however. that
he allies would refrain on the high
teas from seizing letter mail"

CANADA HAS BIG TELESCOPE
Said to Be the Largest Yet
Constructed.

A seventy-three inch rejecting tele-
scope, which ranks in size as the
largest telescope of that type yet COM
pleted, has been constructed for the
Dominion Astronomical observatory at
Victoria, Canada: The instrument Is
described in Popular Mechanics. The
mirror, which in this type Of telescope
takes the place of a lens in concentrat-
ing the rays of light, measures 70.
inches in diameter over all, is IL inches
thick at the edges, and is pierced BY
a hole ten and one-eighth inches In d.
ameter. The silvered upper surface is
q parabola to bring the reflected light
to a focus, 80 feet above the mirror.
This enormous piece of glass weighs
two and one-quarter tons and yet is SO
accurately supported that no f1exure
can distort the surface, which must
nowhere deviate from the theoretical
curve more than POOL, 900 of an incl-
The instrument weighs 90 tons and
will rest on massive piers of fe-en-
forced concrete. The tube is 81 feet
long and weighs II tons. OF unusual
interest from an engineering point of
view are the dome and observing
bridge. The former is SO feet In di-
ameter and is provided with double
shutter having an opening 10 feet wide
All the movements, including revolu-
ton to any desired position as well as
the operation of the shutter, wind
shield and the observing bridge, are
accomplished by means Of electric mo-
tors.
