ENGLAND Gets PROTEST
AGAINST MAIL Hold Up
Rr The Iiniied pre.s.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON. May 23.-Presidont
Wilson's note to the British government
in regard 10 mail seizures was sent to
Ambassador Page az London.
Largely legal in character. the cont
munication closes with instructions 10
Ambassador Page to renew vigorously
the complaints already made by the
United States.
The legal discussion relates to the
practice followed by the British patrol
cruisers in holding up neutral vessels,
carving United States mails, ON the
high seas. taking them into British
ports and there subiecting the mails to
municipal censorship. This practice the
American note insists is entirely with
out tue pale of international law. and
contrary TO all recognized rules respect
ing the inviolability OF neutral mails in

Amendment WILL
Increase DEPOSITS
Postmaster English Thinks
New Postal Savings Act
Will Be Benefit
LOCAL OFFICE HAS
100000 ON DEPOSIT

Under an amendment to the postal
savings act which has been approved
by President Wilson. larger postal saw
ings deposits will now be accepted at
the local postohice as we'll as other
pOstofiices throughout the country. Up
until this time the total amount that
one dopesitor was allowed to have on
deposit was $500. but under this
amendment a postal savings depositor
may have an account amounting to
81 900. Another change male by this
amendment is the limit that was
placed on deposits for one month. A
deposition formerly could not deposit
more than 500 IN one month, but this
restriction is now entirely removed
and he can deposit the entire $1,000 in
one month if he so desires.
Postmaster English stated this
morning that the broadening Of the
postal savings act. would materially
Increase the deposits at this postof-
fee. Every week. he stated, four or
five accounts have to be closed. they
having reached the limit OF $500. He
also thought the change which Will
allow the deposit at one time Of any
sum up to $1,000 will be Of great
benefit. The total deposits at the
local office Mr English stated today
were about S16O.000 and the total de-
positors about $500. A large major
ity Of these depositors are foreign
ers. and it is figured that not more
than per cent. Of them would de-
posit their savings in a bank.
The notice received by Postmaster
English sets out that about half
million depositors throughout the
United States have over SS0,000.OOO.

it impossible to conceive of any more
diabolical plan for the degradation and

throughout our land in squalor, pow,

About once in every decade a new
temple of Bohemia comes suddenly in
to prominence on Broadway, says the
New York Times. For instance, there
is Broadway's little Hungary. Kisses,
marriages and divorces at wholesale
and just for the asking is one of the
features at the Hungarian peasant ball
nights. At these balls force of po-
lice is maintained to arrest violators
of long list of humorous laws, and in
addition to this it is a rule that any
person must kiss a member of the op-
posite sex when asked or be arrested.
Marriage is also compulsory, even if
proposed by a stranger, but as a d.
vorce will be granted for the asking,
no serious results ensue. A person who
marries must obtain divorce before
marrying another or an arrest will fol-
low. Fines of five and ten cents are
exacted for the various offenses, the
proceeds being devoted to worthy
charities.

BEER WORSE THAN WHISKY.

This is what the Home Life Insur

about beer:
"Of all intoxicating drinks, it is the
most animalizing. 1t dulls the intel

sual and beastly nature. Beyond all
other drinks, it qualities for deliberate
and unprovoked crime. In this re.

liquors. A whisky drinker will com.

element of liquor, a beer drinker is
capable of doing it in cold blood. Long
observation has assured us that a
large proportion of murders deliberate

than the acquisition of property or
money, often of trifling value, are per-
petrated by beer drinkers"

A handbook recently issued by the
German government for the use of

ing against John Barleycorn. The
article is by Prof. Max Gruber of the
Royal Hygienic institute of Munich.
We quote:
This is no time for the use of alco-
hol. Not only is the guzzling of all
alcoholic drinks to be stopped, but
the use of even small amounts is, as
rule, an evil.
1T is scientifically established that

purpose of receiving a small savings
of school children and encouraging the
habit of systematic accumulations.
There is no greater field for the incul-
cation of habits of thrift in the minds
of the people than these banks. The
Jesuit Fathers used to say, Give me
the child until he. is seven years old,
then you can have him." If the child
is taught in this practical way to save
his money Systematically there is no
doubt that he will acquire valuable
habits of living; he will become bet
ter manager of his private affairs; he
will be more economical and he will
have greater foresight. Just recently
one hundred and eighty-two school
banks were organized in Detroit. In
the campaign in New York City they
are aiming to establish one hundred
new school banks by the first of May.
Through the New York MALI an at
tempt is being made to raise fifty thou
sand dimes for the school children;
that is, dime will be given to each
child as soon as he accumulates his
first ninety cents in the new banks.
Under the system known as the
Brooklyn Plan" originated by A. n.
Clark, who is the chairman of the Cen
tennial Committee for the Extension
of School Savings in New York City,
the children operate the bank them
selves under the supervision of one of
the teachers who is also the treasurer
of the bank. Each child in the eighth
year class takes his turn at filling vari-
Gus positions in the bank from messen-
ger to President. They have a Board
of Directors composed of twenty-four
children. who meet regularly and dis
cuss the affairs of the bank. At the
end of the school year and when these
eighth year pupils graduate, in addi-
ton to the diploma of graduation they
are given a certificate showing that
they have filled the various positions
in the school bank. The pupils use
these certificates as recommendations
to secure positions.
There is no doubt that this thrift
campaign will create new interest in
thrift, a new understanding of the sub
ject There will not be as much ex-
travagance and waste. The people will
live within their incomes and not mort
gage everything they own.
