Publishers Protest Against Rates. Newspaper publishers were here to- day protest to the senate finance Cominisalon against the incresse in second class mail rates by applichtion of the parcel post zone systemn, pro- vosed by the $1,800,000 war tax oill. 'The committee also considered the measure's provisions for stamup and estate and inheritance taxes, to which there were many objections. A statement prepared by a commit- tee of the American newspaper pub- lishers association, headed by Don C. Seitz '‘of the New York World, said the proposed postal increase was “a cold blooded proposition to close the 1s” to newspapers and would ve- sult in so much loss of circulation, especially among farmers, that postal income would decrease and the rural carrier system would entail an even greater loss than at present. The newepapers are ready to aieet a real, honest tax,” said the statement, “even to the point of presenting the government with all profits, provided other lines of business are asked to do the same, but if it is proposed to es- tablish a non-competitive, do-as-we- plegse, charge-as-we-please post office monopoly, it is difficult to see why the Sherman law should be allowed to stand, or why we should -pc-k dis- paragingly of Prussianism.” The proposed increase, the state- ment said, “is not a war tax' but an effort to further repress and embarass the newspaper industry. The rate proposed is an increase of from 100 to 600 per cent., an increase beyond precedent. “The newspaper business is today the most heavily loaded in the coun- ny. Ik Jpays the highest wages, en- joys no’form of protection, sells if product at the lowest price our coin- age.will permit and always at a fixed price. It cannot well pass its load along or change from day to day as the merchant meets price raises.” “It is the studled policy of the post office department and its employes to ill-treat newspaper mail,” sald the statement, Beside Mr. Seitz, the committee coneisted of Herbert F. Gunnison of the Brookiyn Daily Eagle; Harry Chandler, Los Angeles Times; Robert Ewing, New Orleans Dally States; C. P. J. Mooney, Memphis Commercial Appeal; James R.

Sydney, ‘Australia, -May jé.-—-In & recent Australian casualty list cabled from France was the name of “King'” Watriama, of the Australian infantry. force at the front in France. He is a native of the Loyalty Iaslands a small mid-Pacific group belonging to France and he has long laid claim to the sovereignty. ‘This' claim France has never recognized. Last October, while in London, Watriama called at the British Colonial" office to press Ris clailm and incidentally ‘to urge that the Loyalty Islands be tranaferred to British rule. Prior to the war, Watriama was a familiar figure in Sydney. He used frequently to call on the governor. Zeneral, the gtate governor and fed- oral and state officers here relative to the “kingship™ denled him. The atrik- ing dark-skinned South Sea islander was invariably attired on these occa- sions in European garb of the latest fashion including frock coat, silk hat and immaculate gloves. .Having an antipathy for automobiles he made his calls in a carriage drawn by a team of handsome bay horses. He is a man of education and culture and is said to be able to speak several languages, ‘When the war 'began Watrlama en- listed in the Australian force which subsequently seized. German ‘Guinea. As he had served in the Brit- 1sh forces in the Boer war he ‘was at once a valuable man. He taught many of the/ raw recruits, of which the force was largely composed, the use of the rifle. After'the New Guinea expedition he re-enlisted in the Aus- tralian ranks and in due course reached France. Before leaving New Guinea he told a friend that he had long been de- sirous that Britain should control the Loyalty Islands but, inasmuch as the British and French were unitedly fighting against Germany, he would make no further move in the matter.
