STATESMAN ADMITS THAT
COUNTRY is fN TROUSLl

Paris, Feb. 21.--In q review of the
crisis in Mexico, made today for The
Associated Press, Jose Yves LImantour.
minister OF finance in the cabinet OF
President Diaz. declared that the only
basis for peace was that the insurgents
lay down their arms pending negotia.
lions with the government which or.
it's part should grant a reform of the
evils that made the revolution possible,
The only alternative that he foresaw
vas the probability of a long, wasting
struggle, for, said the minister, the
federal troops are no match for this
cowboy insurgents"
In the opinion of Senior Lilnantour.
the feudal system in Mexico must go,
the great estates in the north
which have been passed from family to
family should be distributed among the
people. For himself, he said. he had
no political ambitions, though he had
been frequently urged to contest this
presidency with President Diaz. He
expects to start home within two weeks
His Relations Strained
Minister Lamantour came to Paris
early last August in order that his
wife, who is in i'll health, might receive
medical treatment here. Before leaving
Mexico he declined a nomination for
the presidency, and though he re-
NAMED in the cabinet, it was rumored
that his relations with President Diaz
we're not as close as formerly.
The minister makes three sugges.
tons:
/. The abuses communicating local
administrations, as in the cities and
towns which nave the greatest griev-
ances, should be Immediately abol.
ished.
2. Some means should be found to
ALLOW the people to share more extern
SiVeiV the HOLDINGS of land.
In the third place there is crros!tic:.
to President DiaZ on the ground that
he has been too long in Office and that
new blood is needed to direct the af-
fairs of the republic.
But" added the minister, 'Diaz was
legally returned to the presidency by
the people,"
Il dislike to touch on the delicate
question of neutrality continued the
Mexican, but 1 am convinced the
United States Interpretation is too re-
Stricted. Unless it is enlarged it will
seriously imperil the governments
chances OF quelling the revolutionists.
Keep Off the Frontier.
Mexico prevents Guatemalan revo.
lutionists from remaining neal the
frontier, just as France at the time OF
the Portuguese revolution forced the
Carlists living near the Spanish from.
| tier to remove at least 200 kilometers
from the border, on the ground that
their nearness constituted a menace to
@ friendly power.
why cannot the United States adopt
the same attitude and not only arrest
armed revolutionists if found crossing
Into Mexico, but also prevent revolu-
.ionary meetings and the dispatch OF
arms and ships?'
Minister Lin1antour, WHO already has
PLACED in Europe S5k, 0Gu,90O of bonds

Forgive me if wher bleak rain drips
And lanes are all a-trill with
And hedges CLEAN with scented show,
And visions fair on mortais throne-
Forgive me. of thy gentle grace,
If I can find mid scenes 80 choice
NO fairer vision than thy face,
Nc dearer music than thy voice.
Forgive me IL when lilies blow
And mist obscures the w!ntry skies,

SO craving skies forever blue,
And roses ever at my door,
Forgive me IL I ask of you

sons mileage of every club in tle or
ganization.
In the case of the Pittsburg club The
amount OF mileage saved is amazing.
Last year the Pirates travelled 10000
miles. Next season the team will
travel only $4,000, a saving OF 5000
miles for one club. Figuring on a
basis OF two cents mile. the Pitts
burg club which travels with about 20
players, saves 81 400, or the salary Of
one pretty good ball player for the
season.
The Cincinnati club, which Travelled
$4,000 miles last season, will travel
only 1900 next season, a saving OF
1000 miles, or approximately $500. No
figures could be procured on the saw
ing in mileage for other CLUBS. but 1t
is said that the travelling expenses OF
every club in the league will be cut
materially.
