MAIL CENSORSHIP
REJECTION OF AMERICAN PROTEST. DISAPPOINTMENT EXPRESSED IN WASHINGTON. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright NEW YORK, January 18. The “New York Times” Washington correspondent states that the British Note rejecting the United States protest against interference with mails is disappointing to the State Department. It was learnt, though formal comment is lacking beyond the statement that the Note is under study, that there is no indication whether the United States will, send a second Note. The correspondent of the Associated Press states that official circles regard the reply as a rejection based on ar untenable interpretation of international law. The United Press correspondent states that there is every indication that the United States will cling to it: own interpretation of the Hague Convention. It is reported from Hamilton (Bermuda) that the censorship of the transatlantic mail has begun on London's orders, causing the American Clipper en route to the Azores to be delayed a day.
