 Insurance companies are increas- ing their rates and threaten to make still more increases. The attitude ot the steamship companies and the cap tains is a direct invitation to unre- stricted theft on board ship. As theft increases, insurance rates will in crease and the eventual prejudice to legitimate commerce threatens to be very grave.
 "The opinion of responsible mari time insurance agents and adjusters who are in close touch with the situa- tion is that the only remedy is for the steamship companies to reassume re- sponsibility for pilferage and in case they are unwilling to do so government tai pressure should be brought to bear to compel them to eliminate this clause"

WORLDS SHIPS ARE PREYEDO ON
 BY PILFERERS

: BQENOS AIRES, Feb. 27..- Belief that widespread international organ ization, is at work stealing nierchan- disc from steamships is expressed in a report of the United States Chamber Of Commerce in Argentina. The cham Der investigated the loss of valuable merchandise by pilfering from ships plying to this port and found that the same characteristics are visible in thfts Of merchandise from Italy, Spain and England as from the United States"
 The investigation was made at the request of the Allied Chambers of Com merce which asked all the members to maze similar investigations.
 Che increase in pilferage during the past few months had been alarm ing" says tae report. An effort was made to 1edlICe from the evidence re- eeiYed the value of the goods stolen, but this was impossible although in general terms it would seem to run into hundreds Of thousands of dollars gold.
 One curious feature developed which was that pilferage occurs with frequency in articles sent by. parcels post, for which there is no recourse if no value has been declared.
 The thefts have all the character istics of systematized robbery by peo- pie who know the merchandise and al so know the peculiarities of the ship pers. It would seem, moreover. that a. widespread sinternational organiza, ton was at work for the same charac- teristics are visible in thefts or 1ner- chandise from Italy, France. Spain and England as from the United States.
 One house imported lot of 30 au- tomobiles. It is the custom of this fac tory to pack the set of tools In one special corner of the case. A hole was cut into this particular corner or 29 cases and the tobl sets were removed. the thieves knew exactly where to look for the articles they ue- sired.
 Another house which imports dry goods foiInd7 that zine-lined cases had been opened the silk contents rernov. ed and an equal weight of coal put in to the cases which were nailed up. An other house which also imports dry goods had several cases of silk velvet completely rifled and in the cases were round cotton goods of an inferior quality Each Of these cases Involved losses amounting to nearly S1o,OO0 gold. One exporter of silk, from Flu rope, with the idea of deceiving the thieves, changed his form of packing and also his shipping marks. but the thieves went direct to the packages

 The witness contended that he had not stationed any sharp shooters ill iiu- tel windows or on the hill, as charged in Roberts statement, but merely had it in mind Toward the close of the cross examination, this after noon, the prosecutor astonished the crowd by holding under the wllness stand a large envelope, said to ra,v been seized in Britt Smiths room at the l. w w.

 What appeared to be al least q semi-official summary of the pre- mier's note was received in press dispatches from London only short time after the official text had reach ed the state department and before 1t had been laid before the president.
 The state department already had taken up with London the question of making the note public here and 1t was assumed that it would be given out after the president had studied 1t. The other exchanges were made public yesterday, but it developed during the day that tEe British gov ernment was planning to give to the press along with the notes some communications the premiers had had after December with the Italian and Jugo Slav governments, which had not been sent to the American gov ernment.
 It was noted from the summary or the premiers' note, as transmitted in the press dispatches. that Great Brit ain and France had not agreed to the withdrawal of the treaty of Lon don, holding to it's terms as a last resort should all eftCrts at voluntary agreement fail
