WILSON WANTS ANSWER. TO NOTE ON MAIL BELAYS , MAIL DELAYS MUST STOP and Washington Instructs Ambas sadors at Ixmdon and Paris to Press for More Complete Reply- Answer Impudent and Insolent. Instructions to Impress upon the Rritish and French governments that the United States desires an curly and complete reply to its last note regarding interference with neutral mails were cabled by the state department te Ambassador Page st London, and Ambassador Sharp at Paris. This sHlp wis taken after Presi dent Wilson and other officials had studied the British memorandum dealing with specific complaints, and deferring until the future a reply to the American contentiops regarding the principles involved. Officials of the state department made no attempt to disguise their resentment when the British mall memorandum was mentioned. The offer of the London govern ment to explain the workings of the system at all times was considered both insolent and Imprudent. State department and post office depart ment officials arc perfectly well aware of the way the censorship works. Its operations were forcefully pointed out in the second protest sent to London and Paris, which In formed the Allies that their practices were beyond the pale of law and warned them that only a ."radical change" would ^atlfcfy the United States. The fact that the memorandum discusses only minor points and evaded the real questions, makes It certain, In the opinion of officials, that the only change-In the practices complained.oLAiaa. haan to aakeU—s even more' drastic. The prompt action of the adminis tration A Instructing Ambassador Page to make another demand for a speedy answer covering all essential point* at Issue Indicates that the president Is determined to press this matter until a satisfactory reply la received and Ayaertraa rights oa the high seas are restored. Soma officials see In ths memo randum a studied purpose to string out ths Bsgotlatlons as long aa pos sible. la the hope that tha war may and meanwhile, removing the cauae of friction. Ths memo rand um deals almost solaly with a tow Isolated Inataaeaa that were merely cited In the vlger- ous set# seat to London under date •f May S4. That note has been la the hands of ths British govarnmsnt two months. Evan before Its receipt In London Sir Edward Qrey and othar British officials ware perfectly aware of the American contention*, which had bean clearly aet forth In the flrst note dealing with tha aelsure of the mails, sect several months befors. Greet Britain's original reply side stepped the principal points at issu and discussed almoat entirely the question of parcel post mail, seeking to justify Its selxur* of neutral maila on tha ground that contraband des tined for Germany had been discov ered In parcel mall. In Its flrst note ths British government did not ad mit that flrat class letter malls had been tampered with, although the fact had been fully established long before. In view of the urgent language used la Ike second maU protest, which was sent to both Britain and France, officials had expected the Allies to reply to the real points at Issue. Instead of doing so, the mem orandum mentions only four specific points raised In the note, and dis cusses In detail only two of the four. One of the four points mentioned was the seizure of United States money order lists, which presents a grave question, since they are the property of the American governmenb Itself. The British memorandum merely announces that this complaint must be left for consideration in the final reply, because It "Involves ques tions of principle." The American note was devoted entirely to a discussion of questions of principle. The specific complaints pointed out were intended merely as illustrations of the damage and in convenience to which American citi zens have been put by the practices of the Allies. To pick up a few of these Instances and use them as the basis of a formal communication is looked upon as little short of trifling. WARSHIPS OFF BEAUFORT Two Allied Cruisers Spend Several Hours Off Inlet. ATTEMPT TO DELIVER PRO- ORESSIVES RANK FAILURE MANY FLOCK TO WILSON Two allied warships appeared off Beaufort Inlet Wednesday night af ter reports had been received that the German merchant submarine Bremen was headed this way. Noth ing was seen of the submarine, but the warships continued their patrol Thursday, cruising about fifteen miles off shore. They presumably were sent there from the squadron on guard off tha Virginia capes, awaiting the departure of tha Bre men’s sister ship, the Deutschland, from Baltimore. Tha two cruiser*, presumably Brit ish, raportad off tha Baaufort har bor Wednesday night and signed Thursday about fifteen miles out. de parted after several hours' vigil. ‘ tertal i by the Brtt- wtth the war there a claaae providing that Bull Moosers Refuse to be Corralled by Republican Leaders—Jersey State Committee Repudiates Na tional Committee — Washington Chairman Hotly Denounces Be trayal. Efforts to whip the Progressives Into line for Hughes, according to the Chicago program, have failed. The stirring scenes at the meeting of the Progressive State Committee of New Jersey, In Newark, when the Bull Moose hotly resisted thp at tempts of certain leaders to pledge the party ih that state to the Re publican ticket, was a warning that Progressives are not going to sub mit to the destruction of their prin ciples nor to the barter of their votes. Ity a vote of 7 to. 5 the State Committee of New Jersey Progres sives repudiated the action of the National body at Chicago, and will not hind itself to its actions. The managers of the president’s campaign feel that they have every reason for gratlflcatton with respect to the Bull Moose and Independent vote. Hundreds of letters and com munications'have been received at the National Committee headquar ters, the headquarters of the Wood- row Wilson Independent League and at the White House from Progres sives, and Republicans as well, who declare their intention to vote this year for Wilson, "the man who has kept us out of war." Progressive* Support President. Edgar C. Snyder, chairman of the Progressive party In the state of Washington, has written a flaming "T.rtisTtnffT ifaTt fins Thins—..—It tion and says: "I am supporting President Wilson and feel that all Progressives should support him." Ole Hanson, one- of the foremost Progressives of the Weet, who was a candidate for the United States Sen ate In tha atat* of Washington, and polled RS.282 votee, Is eupportlng President Wilson and vmlnly chal lenging Senator Poindexter to de bate laeuee. From all parts of the country thare era cries of consternation from Progressives ovar tha manipulation of thalr "leaders." Their bitter pro tects at tha teatment of their party at Chicago ladlcat* clearly that thty will give their aupport to President rather tbanto Mr. Hughes. Now Jersey Revolt. The Progressive party of Saw Jer sey. aa represented by Its state com mittee. refused to Indorse the candi dacy of Charles E. Hnghea, although • strong effort had been put forth by Everett Colby, a pioneer Pro gressive of tbo state, to awing the committee that way, . When the meeting of the state committee was held In Newark July II, J. A. H. Hopkins, chairman, led ths fight against endorsing Mr. Hughes. A resolution was submit ted by Wm. E. CoaWIng of Blalrs- town, reciting that the delegates to the national convention at Chicago had exceeded their authority by en dorsing the candidate of another party. The resolution further aald: "Resolved, by the Jlew Jersey State Committee, That the Progres sive party of New Jersey will not be bound by the action of the national rnmmltlee iMi candidacy." This resolution was carried by a vote of 7 to u. Chairman Hopkins read to the committee a letter he bad written to Col. Roosevelt recalling <tbat the Colonel once had expressed the opin ion that Mr. Hughes might perhaps turn out to be "another gold brick." This letter caused much amusement among those present. For IVogrewslves to go back to the Repubtycen party now would be self-stultification, and would be an admission that they had never been sincere In their progressive profes sions, according to Edgar C. Snyder, chairman of the Progressive party in the state of Washington in 1912. Mr. Snyder is supporting Mr. Wil son because he, the president, "has given us a progressive leadership and has done much during the last three years to make effective the essential demands of the Progressive party platform." Mr. Snyder insists that if Mr. Roosevelt was sincere four years ago when he said that the bosses and the special interests had brought the Republican party to a shameful end. then it cannot be expected that’ the Progressives can go back now with- ont a clear showing that the ohL party has been purified and has re kindled within it "that fire of lofty endeavor.” “The control of invisible govern ment over the machine of the Re publican party has never been relax ed,'ibut has been strengthened and confirmed,” declared Mr. Snyder. "Wherever the Republican party has been dominant during the last four years its record of public acts has been one of retrogression and not progress. No better example of this need be sought than the showing of onr own Republican ma jority in tha last legislature of this state. The flagrantly * reactionary legislation then passed would be throttling our liberty as ladhrMnal voter* and onr home ml* powers as salf-raspacting and government com munities. If wa had hot fortunately ' tbo Is why no man and no newspapoi organ and no machine can no. emselves and they their own confident that the bulk of the Pro gresslv* votp will in reality be. cafci for Woodrow Wilson." ’ Hanson Challenges Poindexter. Ole Hanson, the Progressive lead er in the state of Washington, li very sincere in his belief that this F not a time for partisan politics ot attacks upon the president. -, "As American citizens, as Pro gressives, It Is our duty at this time to silence the harsh criticisms and unthinking partisan prejudices and stand by our prealdent," said Mr. Hanson in a recent interview. Mr. Hanson ran for the United States senatorship in Washington In 1914 and polled 83,282 votes. He is anxious to engage Senator Miles Poindexter, of the same state, In a joint debate. Mr. Poindexter was elected to the Senate-as a Progres sive, but now says he Is a Republi can. The following Is a telegram sent by Mr. Hanson to the Demo cratic national committee: “We can carry Washington. Can you shame Senator Poindexter into debating with me the subject, ‘Shall Wilson be Returned?' Poindexter is afraid, and, like Hughes, Is a trim mer. Both have endorsed the Amer ican flag, but refuse to get down to fundamentals. Have challenged Poin dexter repeatedly, but to no avail." California l*rogrewilves for Wilson. Isadore Jacobs, a prominent busi ness man who is leading the Inde pendent movement In California, has sent a communication to the Wood- row Wilson Independent League, 280 Madison Avenue, New York, In which he says that the non-partisan movement is just as strong In the northern part of California as in the southern end of the state. "Each day," said Mr. Jacobs, "we are getting letters from old time Re publicans and Progressives asserting that they will work and vote for Wilson and that It Is their purpose to attend the .conference which is to be held in San Francisco August 5 and whoop It up In true western style. Mr. Jacobs says the majority of the Progressives In California will be for President Wilson. As an indica tion of the type of business men who ft roiio.w- tng Is quoted from Mr. Jacobs' mes sage: "A permanent Progressive^ organi zation has been effected In San Fran cisco. Its officers are: "President, Joseph 8. Thompson, president of the Pacific Electric com pany' of San Francisco; secretary. Mr L. A.
