LOWERED BY PRESENT POLICY

LONDON, Jan. J9. The London .correspondent of .the Chicago Daily .Hews, who is the ..doyen of American journalists in England., makes a..strong .attack on the American policy. He says that since the war American pretsige abroad has «unk to the lowest depths it has ever reached, and Americans abroad are uncomiort-

a,ble and apologetic. T&e picture vof i President Wilspi., >when screened in £he \ music halls of London, provokes hissing and booing. •' This low opinion in England is due to our failure to give expression to our - outraged coneeiercee and long euffering in ' the face of repeated frigltif vLl crimes. We, TiaT»e lost prestige in France, Italy, Russia, and the Bal-i kans, while -the Germans hold us to be more than foes. Everywhere it is , said that we are diseased with the itdb for money, are namby-pamby, and too sordid and cowardly ijo fight. .WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. The United States has despatched a vigorous Note to Britain protesting against British interference with American mails en route to neutral countries.
