LIGHT ON THE MEXICAN
SITUATION.

The Mexican situation has nowhere
been more plainly and accurately
stated, we believe, than in an inter
view printed yesterday, in which Mr.
S. S. Brill, from an experience based
upon some seventeen years of COM
mercial relationships with Mexico, ex'
planned the real significance of the
conditions south of the Rio Grande.
According to this authority, "the
revolution against Madero had the
hearty support Of the foreign element
in Mexico, which, under Diaz, had
been able to obtain all it wanted. II
is this element which is now support
ing Huerta. 1t is this same foreign
element which has brought about this
foreign Intervention agitation as a
political move to make the United
States Government show its hand. J"
It may be set down, as an amend
ment to this summarization of the
case, that certain class of Americans
in Mexico were also accustomed to
"obtain all they wanted" under Diaz.
This has been a clearly recognized
evil in Mexico for many years; and it
was perhaps because of the American
investors and spectators in Mexico,
rather than the operations of other
foreigners, that a resistless opposition
to Diaz was finally developed.
Moreover, it is the American inves-
tor in Mexico, and those who support
his poin Of view, who are most active
in the United States, and elsewhere,
in furthering the demand upon the
Government at Washington to inter-
fere in the affairs of the Southern Re-
public.
In other words, dollar diplomacy is
back of those arguments which seek
to assume the euise of patriotism.
There is another point worth heed.
ing in Mr.. Brill's statement: "Condi-
tious in Mexico are greatly exagger-
ated by people who do not know the
actual state of affairs, such as tour
lists, who, after week or so in the
country, think theyknow everything
1t seems increasingly clear that
President Wilson need only stick to
broad and general principles-to the
principles underlying democratic gov
ernment-and ignore the pressure
which does not come with clear title
or high motive, and he will be able
to steer clear of needless difficulties.

PARCEL POST ORDER
BITTERLY OPPOSED.
Postmaster General Asked to Show Au-
thority for Reducing Rates.

Postmaster General Asked to Show Au-
thority for Reducing Rates.
Washing D. c., July 22.-Concert-
ed opposition has developed in Con-
gress to Postmaster General Burles-
on's order reducing parcel-post rates
and increasing the maximum size OF
packages to be handled in the service.
The order was issued Sunday, to
become effective August Is, and to-
day the Senate Post-Office Commit
tee requested Mr.. Burleson to appear
before the committee next Thursday
with an explanation of thes authority
for his action.
This was the first step in what
promises to be bitter contest. When
the Postmaster General has been
heard, the committee is expected to
have withdrawn before August Is
any authority he may claim Congress
has given him to change rates and
sizes.
It was contended in the committee
that the proposed changes would en-
tail an enormous loss to the Govern
ment, and some of the members COM
planned strenuously that the Post Of
flee Department had failed to furnish
Congress with data concerning the
operation of the porcel post.
Apparently there was no difference
of opinion in the committee as to
whether the Postmaster General
should change the rates. Democrats
and Republican agreeing that only
Congress ought 10 have this power.
The controversy has aroused ex-
traordinary interest at the Capitol
and in official circles since the par
Gel post touches more or less directly
nearly everybody in the country.

WEALTHY U.S.. GIRL
MISSING IN LONDON
Lucy Dodge, Granddaughter Of
John BigeIow, Is Believed to
Have Joined Militants.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON. April S.-What has be-
come of Miss Lucy Dodge, the %
year-old daughter of the rich Ameri-
can family? There is the question
which is to-day agitating the Ameri-
cap section of London society. just AZ
the disappearance of Miss Dorothy
Arnold disturbed New York.
The offer of a reward for tnrorne~
ton leading to the whereabouts OF
Miss Dodge, published in newspapers
here. spurred amateur detectives 20
the chase and various theories Were
pursued in hope of winning the re-
ward
An anonymous letter received at
Scotland Yard to-day suggested that
Miss Dodge has enlisted her sympa-
thies with the Woman's Social and
Political Union. of which Mrs. Emme-
line Pankhurst is president. This
letter, which purported TO be from a
member of the violence squad, stated
that a girl answering the description
for Miss Dodge had made application
for work al the headquarters Of the
woman's Social and Political Union.
She was remarkable for her eXcep-
tional beauty and for the marks Of
refinement and culture which were
unmistakabe.
The girl told chance acquaintanses
that she was tired of a life Of idleness
and ease and wished to earn her liv-
| ing.
Miss Kenny one OF the chief lieu
tenants of Mrs Pankhurst, who talked
with the girl, said:
u know Of no better future for a
young woman than that Of suffrage.
| II a young woman is Wearied of au
idle. useless life. let her join one ~
our active squads and she viii get
enough heart interest in the welfare
of her less fortunate sisters to Keep
her mind busy
Scotland Yard men and private de-
| tectives seeking Miss Dodge attempt
ed to learn from the Woman's Social
and Political Union where the young
woman had gone. but they got little
satisfaction.
Miss Dodge is granddaughter Of
John Blgelow. former United States
Minister to France.
