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

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

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

"A permanent Progressive^ organi
