WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1916.
A press dispatch announces
that President VV ilson has com
pleted a note to Great Britain
wherein he renews the earlier
protests against the action of
that nation in persistently inter
fering with American mails en
route to neutral states. We do
not know whether the conduct
of Britain in this respect is mere
ly a violation of the agreement
of the postal union or constitutes
an infraction of the international
law, but in either case it is man
ifest that such action is a deep
and oftimes grievous injury to
the citizens of this and other
neutral countries who carry on
a correspondence through the
medium of the international mail
system. When one entrusts a
letter or parcel to the mails it is
expected that it shall remain in
violate until delivered into the
hands of the one to whom it is
addressed- It does not matter
what the contents may be, as
long as they conform to the pos
tal regulations, one expects that
they will remain secure from
prying eyes, official or otherwise!
until delivered at destination.
Also one expects that such mis
sives will not be subjected to un
necessary delays while in transit
from sender to addressee. Un
der ordinary conditions these
things are all guaranteed by the
various governments belonging
to 'the 'postal union. A mail
package containing nothing that
is banned by the postal laws is
presumed to be as safe in tran
sit as if still in the hands of the
sender. Further it is guaranteed
that it will be carried to its de
stination with all reasonable dis
patch and without avoidable de
lays. So complete and compre
hensive are the pledges given
that one often does not hesitate
to entrust one’s deepest secrets
to the mails, feeling that their
inviolability will be in no degree
impaired. Business and social
matters of the gravest import
ance are passed into the tempor
ary keeping of the postal system
with a perfect confidence born of
the understanding that the
.pledge of governments! insures
them sacred rights. It thus fol
lows that a violation of the terms
under which a missive is en
trusted to the mails is an injury
to each and every person who
drops a letter or parcel into a
letter box. Violations by an in
dividual are, if discovered, look
ed upon as serious offenses and
subject the offender to severe
punishment. Let an individual
irifle with the mail and the full
weight of outraged law dcscnds
and condign penalties are inflict
ed. \\ hy then should we and
other neutral nations allow Bri
• tain to perpetrate an offense that
Would not be countenanced in
the case of an individual? If it
is considered a crime for a pos
tal employee or other person to
tamper with the mails, is it not
a still greater crime for a govern
ments which has plighted its
word to hold the mails inviolate,
to obstruct, delay, open and con
tiscate mail matter entrusted to
its care on any other pretext than
those enumerated in the postal
rules ? Yet, Britain has, and is,
doing those things. Further, she
has not only violated the mails
entrusted ,to her care but has
also deliberately seized upon
mail consignments which were
not within her normal range of
influence. Not on one, but on
several occasions,. her warships
i.iave compelled the vessels of
neutral nations to enter her ports
and submit to mail seizures in
complete defiance of all moral as
well as legal rights- An indivi
dual attempting the same nefar
ious trick would be shot on
sight as a thief, but England
does it with impunity on the
mere pretext that something of
value to her enemy might be
contained in the seized mail
matter. In more orderly times
such conduct would be looked
upon as outlawry and piracy and
receive a just condemnation but
because war furnishes a protcxt
tor condoning the offense we, as
well as others no less affected,
remain complaisant and, beyond
uttering a few feeble -complaints,
no nothing at all to remedy what
is admittedly nothing more than
Pare faced robbery, committed
under th. dubious plea of neces~
s;t_\. Guv ' dering that we hold
Germany to such strict account
ability, not only for her acts but
a iso Her intentions, it appears
that the government has been
singularly backward about call
ing England to account for acts
which she, herself would unhesi
tatingly condemn if another were
the offender. If the president
had been as sternly insistent that
Britain observe the rights of
others as he has been in the case
of Germany. British interference
with our mails would doubtless
have ceased long ago.

CONQUEST OF THE
AIR COMPLETE
Chas. Bates Sprayer in Leslie’s.'
“The conquest of the air is the
greatest material achievement in
the world’s history. With such
amazing swiftness has the art of
dying advanced during the past
decade that in forecasting the
near future the imagination must
be enlisted. It is not idle to say
that in a few years the aeroplane
will be as commonly used as the
automobile is now. In the rap
idity of its development, and in
a far more difficult field at that,
the aeroplane has fairly run
away from the automobile. This
progress is largely the result of

nel was an amazing teat, the
aeroplane was the helpless vic
tim of every fickle gust of wind
while the flight of an hour with
a passenger aboard made a thril
ler for tbe headliners. The me
morable trip across the channel
'by Miss Harriet Quimby of Les
lie's staff in 1912, tbe hrst chan
nel flight by a woman alone, has
not yet been duplicated
“Less than a decade ago," says
Senor Santos-Dumont, the Bra
zilian aviator and scientists, “my
aeroplane was considered a mar
vel. In this machine, in which
there was room for only one per
son, I used a twenty horse power
motor. My record flight was
twelve miles, and I could carry
only enough gasoline to fly
three quarters of an hour.” To
day aeroplanes can carry thirty
passengers, can fly over twenty
four hours without alighting,
'have ascended practically five
miles, and between sunrise and
sunset have traveled 1,300 miles.
‘We no longer,’ says M. Dumont,
‘fear wind or weather. The mod
ern machine can brave any gale,
and fly through a storm of any
velocity. It can travel over
mountains, forests and seas. The
atmosphere is its ocean, and its
ports are everywhere.’ ”
