ON VERGE OF WAR
England Responsible for GerInany's
Breakdown in Morocco.

London, Nov 20.-That England
was on the point of going to war with
Germany in support of France in the
Moroccan trouble, being now generally
admitted and it being generally known
now that the government had appar-
emily consented to Russia's advance on
Persia, criticism has arisen over the
secrecy with which the nations for
eign affairs are conducted.
Particularly is this probable since
Sir Edward Grey became foreign sec
rotary. Sir Edward has promised to
make to parliament November 27 a
statement of the nations foreign re-
lations.
The agitation crystalized into de-
mand that both parliament and the
country should be given explicit infor-
nation regarding the governments re-
cent foreign dealings.
The revelation in the German reich
stag of the identity of Germans feel
ing against England was a surprise.

SEES HOPE AHEAD
Kansas Utilities Commission Believes
Lower Rates Are in Sight.

The most significant thing in Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner CIarlS's
opinion, announced today in the re-
hearing of the Burnham. Hanna
Munger case, said z. H. Hogueland
secretary of the public utilities com
mission, is his statement that: while
denying that tn emaking of through
rates less than the sums of the local
rates is well recognized principle
of rate making, defendants (the rail-
roads) witnesses were unable to refer
to any substantial territory other than
between the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers where through rates are made
on full combinations as they are on
the Mississippi river"
This is one of the principles of rate
making the Kansas Public Utilities Com
mission has invoked in its case now pend
ing before the interstate commerce com
mission seeking a readjustment of rates
into Kansas from st. Louis and Chicago
Att the present time" said Secretary
Hogueland, the great majority or
freight rates from st. Louis, Chicago and
all eastern points to oTpeka and to near
ly all Kansas towns are full combinations
of rates on the Missouri river This
principle of rate making has been con-
demned by the commission. The opinion
of Commissioner Clark justihes the con-
tention of the Kansas Public Utilities
Commission and practically insures a re-
duction in the rates to Kansas points,

MEXICANS ARE EXCITED
Opinions Regarding the Arrest of
Reyes vary.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 2O.-Gen-
ersI Reyes's arrest has excited all
classes of Mexicans here. The Nader
lists contend the action of the federal
grand jury at Laredo will weaken
Reyes's position in Mexico, and his
supporters declare it is in reality a
benefit to him, as it is the outcome
of the activity of certain persons in
Mexico, they say.
David T. Reyes Retana, private sec
rotary to General Reyesfi says the
matter is of no great Importance le-
gally considered
He and Rudolf Reyes have both
reached this conclusion, he says.
