favored high tariffs. on the contrary

LEVY COURT TO
CONSIDER REQUEST

With the taking over OF the vol
unteer fire department Of this city
by the Mayor and city Council next
September as provided for by recent
act Of tho Legislature. members Of
the fire cNenpanies OF the rural sec
tions Of the county will ask the Levy
Court to increase their appropria-
tions to such companies next year.
The court for years has appro-
priated various sums to the Water
Witch. Fame and other fire com
panies OF this city for fire service
afforded the rural sections. Similar
assistance has been given the fire
companies at Newport. New Castle,
Newark and other sections.
With the passing of the volunteer
system here, it is conceded that the
fire companies OF this city will be
more or less restricted in responding
to fire alarms from the rural sec
tions.
This thought has caused the fire
companies in the rural sections OF
the county to request an increase in
their appropriations. II is pointed
out by the firemen of the rural sec
tions that. with the county with
holding the money heretofore ap-
propriated to the city hremen. IL
should be given the hremen from
the rural sections. who will be called
on to give additional fire service in
the county.
Just what the rural fire companies
will ask for this year could not be
learned this morning. AS the court
will not make up the budget before
July, no action in the matter will be
taken for several weeks.

u. S. PROTESTS TO ALLIES
ON MANDATE QUESTION

WASHINGTON, April 5 Omitted
Press) A new note has been sent
to the principal Allied powers by
Secretary of Stale Hughes, protest
ing against their attitude on man
date territories, it was learned to-
day.
The note, 1t was stated authorita-
lively was dispatched last night.
The note, understood to have gone
to Great Britain. Japan, France and
possibly Italy. is the first formal
statement of the position of the
Harding administration on the entire
mandate question. Its dispatch comes
as a natural answer TO the recent
authoritative pronouncement that
the United States will insist on the
recognition of the rights and inter
ests of America in territories and re-
sources surrendered as a result Of
the war.
Dispatch of the note also follows
correspondence by the Wilson ad-
ministration with the principal All
lied powers. in which this Govern
ment sought to aid American inter-
csts
The present note is understood to
deal specifically in these two points
in controversy between the L. S. and
the Allied power:
/. The stand of the U. S. that the
island of zap, important cable point
in the Pacise ocean. should not be
included in the Japanese mandate
yer the former German islands north
of the equator.
2. The American protest against
the San Reno agreement. between
Great Britain and France for a di-
vision of the oil supplies in Meso-
potamia held under British man
date.
Secretary Hughes note is believed
to reaffirm those two phases of the
United States position on mandates
in the strongest terms. Whether any
threat is held out in the Hughes note
against the Allies because of their
suspected attempt to stile Amer
ican interests is not known.
The note then is understood to
make two important points:
That the United States. through
/ President Wilson and it's other dele
gates at the Paris peace conference,
never gave its assent definitely or
tacitly that zap be included in the
japanese mandate over the Pacific
islands
And that the action OF Great Brit
ain and France in entering into an
exclusive agreement for division of
, the oil supplies Of Mesopotamia have
violated the whole spirit of the man
date principle which the United
States contends should guarantee TO
the nationals of every country large
and small, equal rights in commerce
and industry.
/ II has been the contention of ia
I pan and others of .he principal Allies
in answering the previous protests
on zap that while President Wilson
in one of the preliminary meetings
of the representatives meetings OF
the powers in Paris made a reserva-
! tion regarding zap. he failed to raise
any protest at the final meeting when
I the japanese mandate for the Paci-
. fic Islands. including Yap was form
ally approved.
These two points were made IN
the fight by the Wilson administra-
ton to protect American interests
in mandate territories. The Hughes
note, however. is understood 20 go
farther than the Wilson notes IN
stating the American position III
stronger terms.
The dispatch OF the present note

the plan espoused by the Senate ir-
reconcilables calling for immediate
adoption Of the Knox measures.
These reports, he made it clear. are
entirely unauthentic.
The President insisted that he is
committed to no definite program,
and declined to discuss any possible
plan at present. He indicated. how
ever. that the whole subject Of in
ternational relations would be dealt
with in his message to Congress next
week.
IL was indicated that whateve-
steps are taken would come along
piecemeal. II was insisted that the
administration is going to move
cautiously and prudently in solving
The situation
The President will treat both for
eign affairs and domestic problems
in his message to Congress. which
will be delivered probably next Tues
day. He indicated that he would
follow the custom of President Will
son and read the message in person.
