TAFT Inquiries About Execution Of
Americans by lelaya.
NICARAGUA CAUGHT IN The ACT

Washington, Nov. 20. Announce.
ment that this government is tired of
the high-handed action of small Cen.
tral American republics practically was
contained in dispatch sent late today
to the Bluefelds Steamship company,
which sought the protection of the state
department from interference by insur.
gents now operating against President
zelaya.
An hour later peremptory note,
couched in diplomatic language, but
none the less direct, was delivered to
Senior Felipe Rodrigues, charge d'af.
faires of the Nicaraguan legation, de.
manding a full and complete explana-
ton of the execution of two Americans,
Leonard Grace and Leroy Cannon,
killed by order of Zelaya when thew
were found in the insurgent army.
Pending satisfactory explanation of
the occurrence, President Taft has re-
fused to recognize Isidore Hazera, new
Nicaraguan minister. Mr.. Taft is
thoroughly aroused by actions of the
lelayan government, and apparently is
determined to make the lives of Ameri.
can citizens much safer and much more
respected in Central America than they
have been hitherto.
The attitude of the government was
clearly shown in the dispatch to the
Bluefelds steamship company, the head
quarters of which is in New Orleans.
The compan's steamer was about to
set sail for Bluefelds with a miscel.
laneous cargo, in which were a number
of rifles and other munitions of war.
The corporation was warned by agents
of the Nicaraguan insurrectionary
forces that the vessel would be liable
to seizure, and the steamship people
promptly called on the state depart
ment to declare the protection of this
government in such cases. The state
department replied promptly. The an
swer was the result of conference be-
tween President Taft and Secretary
Knox and carried full weight.
1t gave the steamship concern no en-
couragement, and practically recognized
the revolutionary forces operating
against the Zelaya administration, a
proceeding for which there probably is
no parallel in the records of this gov
ernment.

CLAIM AGAINST CHILE.
United States Makes Demand for Set
tlement of Old Case.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The Alsop
claim against Chile for more than
$l,0OO,OOO, pending for 35 years, has
assumed a critical stage. Mr.. Dawson
American minister to Chile, is now on
his ssway to Washington, having left Mr.
Pierpont in charge of the legation.
1t is not improbable that, if the
Chilean government does not consent
to final settlement within the next
few days, the American legation in
Santiago will be closed and its archives
placed in the hands of the American
consul for safekeeping. Intimation to
this affect has been given to Minister
Cruz, representing Chile in Washing
ton.
This action on the part of the state
department is not to be taken as an
ultimatum to Chile, but this govern.
ment's purpose in withdrawing its dip
lomatic representatives from that coun.
try is protest against Chile's in
terminable delays concerning this claim
1t is not thought probable that Chile
will willingly continue to be exhibited
before the world as country which
resorts to every possible effort to avoid
the payment Of admittedly just debts
Only a week or ten days ago Minister
Dawson entered into an agreement with
the Chilean foreign Office as to the form
of protocol which was to be the basis
for reference of the Alsop claim tc
The Hague tribunal.
The Chilean government, however, re
fused to comply with conditions agreed
upon, and in effect repudiated its owl
foreign Office.

MAN is MASTER.

Galveston's great sea wall that
rises seventeen feet above low water
and that cost s2,OOO,OO0 has been
tested and found sufficient against a
storm as severe and cyclonic as that
of nine years ago. The winds blew
and giant seas came to shore, but
they did not pass the sea wall, every
stone of which is today sound and in
place.
This best proves anew that man
can conquer nature in her widest
moods. He cannot keep storm from
arising on the open sea or on the
land, but he can build cyclone eel
lars and sea walls, thus securing inn
munity from the widest effort of the
elements. Galveston's cyclone cellar
is of ample proportions, but behind it
the people and their great trade and
their shipping are secure On the
day of storm the Mallory steamer
bound for New York, left promptly on
scheduled time, although the storm
was still raging. Modern skill and
modern capital are equal to almost
any task, and surely no task was
greater than the protection of a great
trade city lying exposed and fiat tc
the sea. Not life was lost in We'd
and shipping came out of it intact.

It is by no means settled that Aero
crossing from Calais to Dover, dis
tance of twenty-one miles. His first
effort was foiled by the failure of his
motor. Many other attempts to fly
have been rendered unsuccessful in a
similar manner, and the time has
come for a more careful study of mo-
tors for aeronautic purposes. The
motor in an aeroplane is the all-im-
portant part Of it.
Mr.. Latham is not an inventor He
chine made at the Antoinette works
in France. 1t differs from the Wright
aeroplane in one important respect
it is monoplane. That is to say, it
has but one outstretched surface
whereas the Wrights use two. It is
in crossing the channel, for then the
monoplane will be pitted against the
two-decker, and the world will the
sooner know which is the better.
The tests of the Wrights at Fort
Myer are being conducted satisfacto-
rily, and the Ohio inventors are con-
fident they will meet all demands up
on them before Wednesday next,
when the extended period expires.
The Wrights are still the most sue
cessful ayiators in the world, and this
may in part be due to the fact that
they make their own motors.

TO REFORM NEW YORK?

The statement credited to John S.
Wise, Jr., that former President
Roosevelt is under promise to return
to this country before the election of
mayor ~ New York city this fall and
that it was his hope that Mr.. Roos.e-
welt will be the Republican candidate
for mayor of the great city is partic-
cussion now proceeding in print in
that town, ir the course of which the
evils alleged to exist there are being
exposed.
Astounding indeed are some of the
statements made in this controversy.
One correspondent of the Sun, whose
signature, Woodfield Mabie, is ap-
pended to his communication printed
in that newspaper, said, referring to
District Attorney William Travers Ja-
rome, this:
"Our present district attorney has
said that seven-tenths of the women
of New York are immoral. Does that
add to the pleasure and desirability
of New York as a place of residence
for the clean minded and correct liv-
ing man or as a place for rearing his
sons and daughters? I say NO." and
I believe ny answer will be empha-
sized and concurred in by all who
give morality, charity and cleanliness
the high position to which they are
entitled"
1t seems Incredible that such state
ment ever was made by Mr.. jerome.
if it is to be understood what he
meant by Immoral"
There have been, however, other
revelations concerning New York
people which seem to go to prove that
morality is lax in thai big city, in
which l<pses from vit:ue s."e far more
ea~ily .cncealed tina they are l.,
smaller communities, and that all is
well there.
Mr.. Roosevelt, no matter how his
conduct in political affairs may be
disapproved by some, ever has been
accounted to be moral man, mean
ing to do right as he saw. That he
has been instrumental in raising the
public standard of morality is beyond
question. That were he mayor of
New York he would endeayor to raise
the standard of morality in that city
is certain,

FLYING ACROSS THE CHANNEL.

TIE successful flight of Louis Bier
lot in his monoplane across the Eng
ISL ,nannet will be written down as
an historic event and already the dar-
ing aviator is reaping the penalties
of popularity by being literally over
whelmed by the hero worshippers
who abound in Great Britain as well
as in other parts of the.wor1d.
Underneath the fanfare and enthu-
siasm, the British public experiences
a SOLDERING sense of apprehension that
her insularity has at last been pene-
trated. A submarine tube, connecting
the shores of France and England,
would be one of the greatest indus
trial undertakings ever devised. It
would facilitate travel and prove a
money-making project. But it has
never met with favor because of the
ever-present dread and fear that Eng
land would thereby expose herself to
an attack from the continent in time
of war.
With the rapid development of the
flying machine, and the success which
has attended the efforts of the adven-
turous Frenchman who has just land
ed at Dover, England sees that she
may be invaded by other means than
a submarine tunnel
Many efforts have been made dur
ing the past few years to cross the
channel in flying machine. Long
ago Frenchman went across in a
balloon, and now It is a representa-
tive of the same nationality who
makes the first trip across the chan
mel in a heayier-than-air flying ma
chime.
Ffe has succeeded in winning a
Prize Of five thousand dollars and by
placing his machine on exhibition
with the cwncr of the only American
department store in London goodly
SIM will he netted for some of Lon
dons worthiest charities.
One definite result of the success OF
this flying machine venture will be to
help along the work of providing ma

ONLY THE BEGINNING.

Of great interest are the figures
compiled by the Manufacturers Rec
ofl stowing the wonderful growth of
t., wealth OF the United States. It is
estimated that in 1918 the total wealth
of the country will be 5000, 200, ,00O, 900.
In 1890 it was 5000, 200, 900, and the
estimate for 1918 is based upon the
1890 to 1918.
The population for 1918 is estimated
at 1l6.000,0O0, bank deposits $4,000
100000, value Of agricultural products
$4,000, 100000. capital and products of
manufactures $4,000. .O00, 900, gross
earnings of railroads $4,000 ,OOO, 900,
with a mileage of 2S4,O0O, and freight
mileage 422,O00.000.
Great as is the wealth it is only the
beginning, says the Record, which
adds:
"As country We have only COM
menced to grow. We have only here
and there scratched the surface of our
coal mines. We have only commenced
to learn how to improve our soil sc
that it's fertility may steadily increase
while giving us annually larger and
larger crops. We have just learned
how to begin the work of reforesta-
ton, or how to terrace our hillsides
and bring back the fertility to thous-
ands of barren acres. We have only
learned how in chemistry and metal
lurgy and concrete construction to gel
ready to work. We have very much
more to learn in all of these things
than we have yet acquired. Oul
knowledge is limited, while almost in.
finite possibilities remain for study
and requirement. Marvellous beyond
the dreams OF the present are the po.
tentialities of the future"
