REVISE AMERICAN
 NEUTRALITY LAWS
Lessons From Europe and Mexico
 Make Changes Necessary

Washington, June 3.-General re- vision of American neutrality laws was proposed to congress today in a memorandum submitted by Attorney General Gregory and concurred in bv the state department, as a result of the governments experience with problems arising out of the war and of relations with Mexico.
 Enactment of eighteen new laws is recommended to correct defects in existing statutes, to cover present omissions of law flor the observance of obligations inperatively imposed ky international law upon the United States" and to make crimes against American neutrality punishable under federal laws. At present many such acts do not violate federal criminal law. Almost every phase of activity in the United States on behalf of suited in federal prosecution under the broad charge of conspiracy would be made specifically criminal by the proposed legislation. In addition, the powers of the President would be broadened with respect to withhold irg clearance to suspected vessels, further employment of the land and naval forces to preserve neutrality, imposing a more rigid censorship upon wireless and cable messages to telllgerent countries and seizing arms and ammunition about to be exported in violation of an embargo.

Seward COWles UnearthS Several
 Papers Of Historic Interest
BELONGED TO HIS ANCESTORS
Baraca Class AnnuaI-Road Con- struction-SeT'yices in the Local Churches Accident at Erection Shop-Briefs.

In overhauling some old papers the other day, Seward Cowles of Kensing- ton came across @ number of ancient family documents of unusual interest and value. Several date back nearly 200 years and relate to the Colonial wars
 One of special interest is a letter or military order to Captain Samuel Cowles, great, great grandfather of Seward and s. M. Cowles of Kensing- ton, who was captain of the Fifth company of Warrington. The order was in the handwriting of Colonel Thomas Welles of Glastonbury and was dated from that town on April 29, 1745. Although the paper on which it is written Is yellow with age and practically falling to pieces, the writ ing is clear and Iegible. The order commands Captain Cowles to see that his company is furnished with arms and other war necessities, and to pre- pare for eventualities. The date sig nifies that the regiment was about to depart for one of the numerous en- counters with the French and Indians which finally resulted in France losing her new world possessions.
 Another document of much inter est is marriage indenture dated April f, 17o3, between Samuel Hook CT of Pennington, County of Hartford and Colony of Connecticut, and Mary Pierson of Killingworth, County of New London and Colony of Connect lcut. By this indenture Samuel Hook er, whose sister, Esther Hooker, mar ried Ashael Cowles of Kensington, agreed to furnish the use of his home with sufficient firewood and food to provide for her needs in case of his death. She on her part relinquishes her dover rights in his estate.
 third paper which MT. Cowles prizes highly is unique and of a char , acter never seen in these days. It is dated Berlin, May 14, 1794, and reads as follows: '"This day received Of AshaeI Cowles one shillen to ballence all accounts from the beginning of the world to this day, and is signed Will liam Cornweu.
