RESTATES U. S., rosiTioN. "The principle being plain and de- finite and the present practice ot the Governments of Great Britain and France being clearly in contravention of the prenciple, 1 will etate more in detail the position of the Government of the United States in regard to the treatment of certain classes of sealed • mails under a strict apt !leaden of the Principles upon which our Goiern- ments seem to bo in eeneral accord. The Government of the United States is inclined, to the opinion that, the class of snail matter winds includes stocks, bonds, coupons and similar securities Is to be regarded as of the same nature as merchandise or other articles tit property, and subject to the ,tame exercise of belligerent rights. Money orders, cheques, daft, notes and other negotiable in- etruments winch nifty pass as the equivalent ot money are, it is consid- ered, also to be claseed as merchan- dise.' Correspondence, theluding saip- ping documents, motley order lists and papers of tisat cliare.cter, even. though relating to 'enemy supplies or ex- ports,' unless carried in the same ship as the property referred to, are, in the opinion of this Government to be regarded as 'genuine correspondence,' -and entitled to unmolested passage." ABOUT MAILS Seizure of Neutral Matter Will No Longer be Tol- erated, Says Wilson. LAWLESS PRACTICE" And Entente Allies Are Not,- , ified That it IVIffs:t be Ended. Washington Report, ---The United States, denouncing interference with neutral mails, has netified Great Bri- tain and France that it •can no longer tolortete the wrongs _wheels American citizens have suffered and continue to suffer through. the "lawlese prac- tice" those Governments have in- dulged in and that only a radical change in policy, restoring the Unit- ed State': to Its full rights as it neu- tral power, will be satisfactory. Ths notitieation is given in the latest Americaa communication to - the two Governments, the text ef which was made public by the State Department to-aight, The timo Itt which the change must be effected is not specified, but the United States expects prompt action. Onerous and vexatious abuses which have been perpetrated by the British and French Governments in seizing and •censoring neutral mails are recited in the communication, and answers are given to the legal argu- ments contained in the reply of the Entente Governments to tiae first American note on the subJect. It is vigorously set forth that not only nave American commercial interests been injured, but that the rights of property have been. violated, and the rules of international- law and cus- tom palpably disregarded. Notice is served that the United States sioon will press claims against thesBritish and Frenclt Governments for the los- ses which already have been 6118Eaill- ed, CONFISCATION IN PORT, Ilia note, which is signed by Secre- tary a ,State Lansing, is in part as follows: "Though giving assurances that they consider 'genuine correspond- ence' to be envioleiblee and that they will, 'true to their engagements,' re- train 'on the high seas' from seizing and confiscating each correspondence the allied Goveerimente proceed to de - [neve. • neutral Governments of the benefits of these assurances by seiz- ing and confiscating mail from ves- sels in port Instead of at sea. They compel neutral ships without just cause to enter their own ports or they lnduce shipping lines, through some form of duress, to send their mail ships via British ports, or they detain all vessels merely calling at British ports, thus aequiring by force or un- justifiable means an illegal jurisdic- tion. Acting upon this enforced jur- isdiction, the authorities remove all mail, genuine correspondence, as well as post parcels, take them to London, where every piece, even though of neutral origin and destinatiou, Is open. ed and critically examined to deter- mine 'the sincerity of their claaractee In accordance with the interpretation given that undefined phrase by the British and French censors. Finally, the expurgated remainder is forward- ed, frequently after irreparable delay, to its destination. Ships are detained enroute to or from the United States er to and from other neutral countries and mails are held and delayed for several days and, in some cases, for weeks and even months, even though riot routed to ports of north Europe via 'British ports. PRACTICE SINCE FEBRUARY, "This has been the procedure which has been practiced ohne tho an- nouncement of February, 1.5th, 1916. To some extent the same practice was followed before that date, calling forth the protest of this Government on January 4th, 1916. But to that protest the memorandum under ac- knowledgment makes no reference and is entiraly unresponsive. The Government of the United States must again insist.with emphasis that the British and French Governments do not obtain rightful Jurisdiction of ships by forcing or inducing them to visit their ports for the purpose of seizing their mails, or thereby obtain greater belligerent rights ass to such ships than they could exercise on the high Seas; for there is, in, the opinion of the GovernMeat �f the United States, no legal distinction between the Belz- er° Of Mails at t4ea, which is announc- ed as abandoned, and their seizure from veesels voluntarily or involun- tarily In pert, The eiritish and Preach practice amounts to an Unwarranted limitation On the 11Se of neutrals of the World's highway for the transmis- sion of correspondonee. The praetice actually followed by the Allied powers. must be said to justify the conclusion, therefore, that the announcement of February 15th was merely notice that one illegal praetio had beett aban- doned to make plate for the develop- ment of another Mere onerous in eharacter."

"The Government "of the United States, in view- of the improper methods employed by the 13ritish and. French authorities in interrupting mails passing between the United States and other neutral countries and between the United States and the enemies of Great Britain can no longer tolerate the wrongs which citi- zens of the United States have suffer- ed and continue to suffer, through these methods. To submit to a la.w- less practice of this character would ,open the door to repeated. violations of international law by the belliger- ent powers on the ground of military necessity, of which the violator would be the sole judge, Manifestly a neu- tral nation cannot permit its rights on the high seas to be determined by belligerents, or the exercise of those rights to be permitted or denied arbi- trarily by the Government of a war- ring nation.

Magrath went east yesterday to Bear's Pass to investigate. Unless the water is kept back up the lake, serious trouble here is likely' to arise. Recent heavy rains are the cause of the high water, and the flooding of the power house and paper mills is feared. Several million feet of logs are against the bridge at Ranier, bolding back the waters of Rainy Lake. Should the jam break there is grave ;danger of tb.0 Canadian Northern bridge being eartied away, as well as the dam at Fort Frances. Three large pumps are trying to keep the water out of the basement. of the paper Mill, but, should the water rise another eight inches, the mill must close, with heavy damage necessitating lengthy repairs. In the town the water Covers the streets, and canoes are being used, James A. Tasvney, chairman of the Ameriean section of the International Waterways, and Chairman Magrath, of the Canadian section, are here with engineers.
