MEXICO MAY PROTEST
Not improbable That She May
Object to American Invasion.

Mexico City, April 14.--Neither the War
Department nor the Department of Foreign
Relations received any except the most
neagre reports regarding the battle at
Aqua Prieta to-day. The reports 70 the
Foreign Office were sent by the Mexican
Consul at Douglas but were unsatisfactory
and brief
No representation has vet been made by
the state Department at Washington 10 the
Foreign ONCE concerning the fire across
the international boundary and the result
ant loss of life. That such representation
may be made is not considered improba bic.
but II is likely the Mexican government
will protest regarding the part played in
the battle by Captain Gaujot. who crossed
the boundary, thus technically invading
Mexico.
Minister de la Barra conferred with both
President Daz and the War Minister.
Senior Cosio, regarding the battle on the
border, and tonight in official circles no
great concern is evidenced in the incident
as it relates to the progress of the war, but
IT has aroused great interest in view Of
the international complications which may
grow out of IT.
Military men here regard the taking of
Aqua Prieta as a rebel mistake. They say
that 10 hold the town it will be necessary
for Lopez TO receive the support Of the
major portion of Madero's army. and 1t IS
not believed that the rebel chief deems It
advisable to tie up any considerable num-
Der Of the men.
II is believed here. however. the taking Of
Aqua Prieta will stimulate the energies
Of the rebels and that il will gain for
Madero hundreds and perhaps thousands
Of recruits. even should he be forced to
abandon the place.

Sir Joseph Ward Says Woman's
Suffrage Is a Success.

Advocates of woman suffrage should hear
Sir Joseph Ward. the Prime Minister OF
New Zealand. talk about II. Sir Joseph,
who is here on his way 10 the coronation,
declared Yesterday that suffrage had been
in existence seventeen years in New Yea
land and that it worked splendidly. II
had been thought before It was adopted
that II would make a difference between
the voting strength Of the parties. but
il did not. because the women all voted
the same way their husbands had been
doing. and their daughters voted with them
in turn.
The Prime Minister said that there was
never any real agitation FOR suffrage in
New Zealand-that Is, any OF the violent
sort that comes up now and then in Lon
don out side the houses Of Parliament, 10
the disgust OF Mr.. Asquith. He also said
women could not make tho race for the
House in his country; that they did not
even try. And there are no women mayors
on. there-that, is right now, for there
have been some.

DEFENDS BROWNS VIEWS
Friend of the Liberal Writer
Sees No Grounds for Charges.

Neither the Rev DR.. William Adams
Brown nor the Rev. DR. Francis Brown,
president Of the faculty of the Union Theo-
logical Seminary. had heard more yesterday
Of possible charges brought against them
in connection with articles written recently
on theological subjects.
Il don't see how they can bring charges
against DR.. William Adams Brown" said
one OF his friends. His article The Old
Theology and the New in The Harvard
Review was simply an exposition Of the
fact that views do change with the years
and that Calvinism is not so hidebound as
il was. and also that views Of life and con-
duct are different in different localities
DR. Brown writes in his article that one
night. while walking in this city with DR.
Wilfred Grenfel. he heard The man from
the land of snow and ice say: i wish /
were back in Labrador II is so much easier
20 know what is right in Labrador than IN
New York DR. Brown comments that the
oldtirne Calvinist would have had no mis-
giving. for his standard was rigid. but the
people that attack DR.. Brown must realize
that times have changed. and We no longer
need send witches 10 the stake to save their
souls
The Rev. DR. J. Ford Sutton, who is one
Of the conservatives. said yesterday that he
did not think that charges would be brought
against Or. Francis Brown at this time.
but that the question Of the Union Theo-
logical Seminary must soon be decided.
