The article presents news related to political issues in the U.S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was warranted in his implied rebuke to German Ambassador Count Johann von Bernstorff. The latter was indiscreet in coming out with a public statement about President Woodrow Wilson's note. It is one of the elementary rules of diplomacy that an Ambassador in a foreign country shall make no public comments upon an act of the Government to which he is accredited. Congress is again to try its hand at tinkering with the postal rates.

It is contained in the Post Office Appropriation bill reported to the House last week.
