advised the Military Affairs Committee o.
the House that he was certain the army
would have to go into Mexico. and that II
would take 10000 men. that figure seems
TO have been traced to the chairman OF the
Foreign Affairs Committee, Representative
SuIzer. OF New York. General Wood as
serts positively that he never made any
such prediction. nor did he give any figures
whatever The President however, did
make use OF that figure some time ago in
conversation with Mr. Sulzer The New
York Representative asked the Executive
how many men It would take If it were
necessary TO go into Mexico to adequa ely
protect the lives and property OF Amer
cans in that country. and the President an
swered. somewhat offhand: why. We could
not do that with less than se.c0o men"
This was some time ago. but the appear
ance OF that figure In the assertion credited
10 General Wood is regarded az indicating
that Mr.. Sulzer talked However. the chair
man Of the Foreign Affairs Committee has
made statement to-day which clearly in
dicates that he had no desire that any re-
mark OF his should be used In any such
sensational manner.
hate THE NEGRO-TIow bitterly the
Democrats in the House hate the negro is
clearly shown by two measures which have
been introduced in that body by two men,
bers from Georgia. one introduced by
Representative Rodsnbery. chairman OF the
Subcommittee charged with the responsi-
bility OF remodeIling the restaurant. does
not show its purpose on its face. but 1t Is
the avowed intention Of the Georgian TO ask
the House 10 adopt a rule which will pro-
hibit any negro from entering the House
restaurant except In the capacity OF n
waiter or servant. The other measure. in
troduced by Representative HaIdwick.
would make marriage between negro ana
white and between a white and a Mon
goian in the District Of Columbia statu-
tory offence. II serious consideration Is
given 10 these measures there will be a
lively debate on the floor Speaker Clark,
who has many negroes In his state, Mis-
souri,. has no desire to have the normal
hostility Of the Democrats 10 that race
aired in public debate. and the same is
true OF other would-be Presidential candi-
dates in the Democratic party but ii Is a
question il the animosities Of the southern
ers can be controlled, even when the ma
tiona political interests of the party are
al stake In the long period OF Republican
control the negro has been as welcome IN
the restaurants at either end Of the cap
itol as the white man.

DEMOCRATIC NKET.-That, despite
their loud prOtestatiOns OF economy lhe
Democrats I'm the House are planning an
ENJOYABLE and somewhat costly little JuhKe'
seems 10 be indicated by Representative
Suffers declaration that he favors the reso-
luton OF Representative Broussard provid-
ing FOR an Investigation Of the diplomatic
and consular service authorizing the IN
vestlgating committee to hold its hearings
abroad and TO search for Information
wherever 1t may choose, and providing
s25.DO 10 defray its expenses II would ne
a uleasant task TO travel through Europe
for instance. az the expense of the govern
ment. investigating the embassies ana iesa-
tons. with occasionally a detour 10 some
consular Office which was fortunately near
one Of the show places on the Continent
The fact that a Republican administration
has made It necessary 20 conduct such an
Investigation doubtless will lf'e all the
salve needed by the supersensitiVe con-
sciences of those Democrats who are thus
called upon 10 make q themselves vicari-
Gus sacrifices IN the interest Of good gov
eminent. ~ VI H.
