MEDIATION IN MEXICO

New York.-Pausing here for a half
day on Friday ON his hurried Mexico
to-Washington trip in response to a
summons from President Wilson,
Henry Lane Wilson, American embas-
sador to Mexico. announced his en-
phattc opposition to several plans I'M
der consideration by the state de-
partment for bringing about peace to
the troubled Mexican republic.
While declining to enter into an
extended discussion Of any plans or
to offer any remedy of his own, Mr..
Wilson characterized the mediation
plan as fall rot" Mr.. Wilson gave
his reasons why he considered the
plan for a tripartite commission not
a feasible one.
IF we are to consider such plan
we may as well abandon the Monroe
doctrine entirely" he said The
Monroe doctrine pledges the United
States to take care of the interests
of the American governments without
the help of any foreign country Con-
sequently under the Monroe doctrine
we cannot attempt to settle Mexico's
affairs through the services of such a
body as the proposed tripartite COM
mission, since it involves calling in
outside governments to help"

the Turks are reoccupying. The coun-
try about Niagara, northeast of CALI
polls, according to reports, has been

house, The Bulgarians pillaged and
burned the Moslem villages and mas
sacred their inhabitants, and now the
Turks are wreaking dreadful ven
geance on the Christian villages which
the Bulgarians spared.
The Turkish troops who first ad-
vanced committed only a few muir
ders. The Turkish troops and their
regulars who followed, however,
worked their will on the Christians of
Niagara and eighteen villages in the
neighborhood.
The Turkish government, realizing
the need of the good opinion of the
European powers at this time, issued
strict orders to all officers to avoid
reprisals by their troops. but they
are unable to restrain the men, who
were infiamed by the stories of Bull
gaTian savagery upon Musselmen.

Montana and idaho.

Portland. Ore.-Dissolution of the
alleged telephone monopoly on the
Pacific coast by the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph company-the so
called Bell telephone trusts sought
by Attorney General McReynolds In
the civil antitrust suit filed here
Thursday. The government charges

aries with absorbing independent
telephone companies to destroy com.
petition and create a monopoly in
Oregon, Washington, Montana and
Idaho, in violation of the Serman law
This is the first attempt ever made
to apply the federal antitrust statute
to the telephone situation. Telephone
companies have claimed that the
telephone, like the railroad, is a ma.
turaI monopoly and that single sys-
tenn is conducive to the best inter.
ests of the public. The department
of justice contends that it is ques-
ton of public policy for congress to
determine.
1t is declared that the suit win not
interfere with the sweeping investi.
cation proposed by the interstate
commerce commission into the gen.
eral telephone situation to determine
whether the Sherman law should be
invoked generally with the purpose
OF enforcing competition or whether
monopoly should be permitted or en-
couraged under regulation similar to
that of railways. This step was
taken in the west because the attor-
ney general believed there existed a
peculiar situation demanding imme-
date attention to cure evils said to
have been brought about by unfair
practices and Illegal combinations.
