Kaiser, Had Bagged IS Planes.

London, June 17.-Captain Boelke,
champion German aviator, who re-
ceived an autograph letter from the
Emperor recently. complimenting him
for bringing down French aeroplanes,
is believed to have been killed in aerial
combat with the French aviator Roger
Ribiere. A yellow Fokker of the type
piloted by Boelke, who also wore
large yellow muffler, was shot down by
Ribiere two days ago between the Ger
man and French trenches near Verdun.
Captain Boelke and his colleague
Lieutenant Immelmann, have been men
toned more times in the German Off
cial statement than any other aviators
in the Teuton army. Up to May 21
Captain Boelke had accounted for l8
French aeroplanes. The last brought
down by him was over Dead Man Hill
in the Verdun region. A month ago
he was promoted from lieutenant to
captain by Emperor William.

German Spy Net Extends Over
United States, Mail Opened

By ARTHUR s. DRAPER,
lBy Cab, to The TiSunsl

London, June 1.-THE Allies plan no
material change in the blockade Of the
Central Powers, either Strengthening
or weakening It so far as America is
coneerned. Great Britain and France
intend 70 continue their present system
~ esnsoring mail because of various
rnrjsings in British possessions, nearly
All of which have been directed or in
,nired by German agents in America.
II Is also appreciated here that GER
Tain leaks in the blockade must be
stoned, and already steps have been
taken IN that direction. These details,
however. will not affect American i'm
norters and exporters TO any noticeable
extent.
The Allies are satisfied with the
blockade and are certain that the ma
,erisl value Of cutting of supplies OF
the Central Powers is exceedingly
great But Of almost equal importance
;s The moral value. So long as German
soldiers at the front hear complaints
among their relatives at homo who
suffer privstions due to the war, 1t 10
believed that their morale will be
weakened. AS the confidence OF the
people 81 home wsnes, so will the spirit
Of the soldiers.
As Lord Robert Cecil said in an in
terview published in The Tribune on

the impatience of neutrals over delays
In mail and is anxious TO minimize the
annoyance. This is being changed as

A FITTING CLIMAX.

(ETOm the chicago f1SIdAu.J
Austria has yielded in the Ancona
case The submarine commander re-
sponsible for the vessels destruction
has been punished. Austria processes
q willingness to pay indemnity for
all American lives lost. These are
the broad outlines of the results
achieved by President Wilson. They
represent a great diplomatic success
for this country and they come as
fitting climax to a year Of real dlplo-
matte achievements,
There was nothing novel in the
procedure of the administration.
There was no attempt at the bril-
sistence on the well-establisfed prin-
ciples of International law, the rights
oflneutrals and the rights Of human
ity;S on thu sea. On those princi-
pies, as on rock, the President
and the Secretary of State took their
stand. They declined to be budg-
eddy the fear of 'break in rela-
tons of more serious conse-
qences. They declined to argue about
facts established by official Austrian
admissions or over the established
principles of international law.
They would not go to Austria, as
they would not go to Germany. AS
a consequence Astria came to them.
While the official text may show GER
tain reservations, as does the unoffi-
cial, the main contentious of this
government are accepted. Austria ex'
plicitIy declares that she agrees
with the United States in the prin-.
ciple that enemy private vessels, not
fleeing or offering resistance, Shall
not be destroyed before the persons
aboard are placed in security. And
that unqualified admission is guar
antee for the future in the Med1ter
raDean, just as the punishment OF
the commander and the offer of In
demDlty@ constitute reasonable re
paration for the past.
The year which has ended has wit
messed many notable achievements
for this country. But easily th|
most notable is the success of thu
administration in asserting the right'
of neutrals without becoming en-
tangled in the tremendous confl1c
which is devastating Europe. With
out threats, without the eXersise O
force. solely by a firm insistence OF
what the .belligerents themselve
knew to be just, great results hav'
been achieved. No American VIII

vet peaceful policy followed be

BE FAIR WITH sURLEsoN.

(From the Waterloo Times-Tribune.
The postmaster general is in for
great deal of criticism in Iowa for
his efforts in trying to reorganize
the rural mail delivery system. The
criticism core mainly from hostile
newspapers, seeking to find all. the
fault they can.
That there has been poor, business
management in rural mail delivery,
goes without dispute. The postmaster
general is trying to reorgan1ze the
system and give efficient service at
less cost, He. thinks he can save the
country $4,5OO,O00 per year and at
the same time render good service.
It. is not" fair that the newspap ers
charge Burleson with making the SER
vice in Iowa suffer, because Iowa Is
republican state. The changes
are not going on in IowaAalone: ::
/, If the routes as rearranged are TOO
long for efficient service; the arrange
ment is not going to stand. Anybody
ought to realize that. Mr.. Burleson is
not trying to impair the rural del1v-
cry system; he is but experimenting,
believing that most of the carriers,
especially if they use the automobile,
can cover a great deal more ground.
Why should anybody assume that II
the changes do not meet expecta'
lions, that they will be continued re-
CARELESS Of results? Why assume that
Iowa is selected as the "goat" to
try out the exeriment? Why as
sumo that there is injury being done
to Iowa, with malice aforethot," and
that the injury is not to be repair
led, no matter what?
Be but reasonably fair and we mus
admit that to experiment with view
to giving efficient service at less
cost is in harmony with good bust
ness judgment. Fair minded people
will give Burleson chance to- try
out his plans. If they fail, Burlesor
will certainly change them. Burlesol
| has no intention Of cheapening The
service at the exp ense of the ser
vice.

we" xO1A "OAAN.(
With the law of nations in ruins, 1t
lis important that publicists should
state lainly why it is in ruins, as
Elihu Root did in his masterful ad-
dress before the Pan-American Con-
gress. One. reason why international
law has been wrecked is that it was
a thing Of shreds and patches. An,
other is to be found in the fact that
no means has yet been devised to
compel nations to observe the same
standards of morality as individuals.
Like Others who have written and
spoken on the subject, Mr.. Root srg-
gests an international court, but lie
does not fail to see that before there
can be a court there must be law,
and before there can be law there
must be legislation in good faith.
Before any. of these things can come
to pass, suspicion, and greed must be
checked, alliances and ententes bas-
ed upon fear or aggression must. be
broken up and there must be gen!
eral appreciation of the sacred OBJ
legations Of treaties. .:"'-,~ -.
Europe is a e shambles today
because its jealousies prevented an
honest settlement Of the Balkan con-
trOversies, because the. idea OF con-
quest has never been dispelled from
the minds of its Governments and
because the plighted word of some of
them, embraced in the most solemn
engagements, has been as false as
dicers' oaths. There can be no perm
anent change in this situation until
all parties are brought in sorrow and
humiliation to a sincere change OF
heart. -.
Evidently this is what Mr.. Root
contemplated when he advocates q +,
