washington, Oct. 2.-RepOrts
from the British foreign office that
Great Britain would do nothing in
the Mexican situation without consul,
tatiOn with the United States aroused
interest in official cir les here today,
and added strength to the persistent
intimations that the American gov
ernment plans a note to the powers
which may result in a concerted Mex
lean policy for the future.
Secretary Bryan, when shown dis
patches from London which asserted
that Great Britain's recognition O.
Provisional President Huerta was
given to extend only until the cleo
tiOns, stated that such had been the
understanding here all the time. When
asked if note was in preparation
which would opel. the way for nego
tiations with the foreign powers, he
said no statement or intimation
along this line could be given at this
time.
Some officials today suggested that
Great Britain's recognition of the
Huerta government in case the cleo
ton for president is declared void
would be binding as it now exists
Should Huerta continue to be the
head of the provisional government,
it was argued the recognition OF
Huerta would necessarily continue
Others maintained, however, that tn :
recognition extended by Great Britain
was intended to hold only until the
time Of the election, no matter wha
might be the result. On this basis it
was contended that Great Britain wa.
now free to listen to any proposal
Staes for formulation of general
Mexican policy which would include
participation also by other powers.
r Owing to the absence of President
WILSON from Washington, nothing
definite could be Iearned'' about the
future plans Of the government, but
it was generally asserted that nothing
would be done until there was official
announcement from Mexico City on
the outcome of the elections.
Secretary Bryan tonight stated that
since the votes were cast no direct
communicate has been received a.
to the result Of a probable outcome
of the election FOR president. 1t was
the general belief, however, in Off
cial circles that the newly elected
congress would be seated after some
delay in announcing the final results,
that the presidential election would
be declared invalid and Huerta agail:
chosen provisional president. What
ever happens it is deemed certain
that some iniative move on the part
of this government soon must be
forthcoming.
Secretary Bryan said the depart
ment had heard nothing of a report
that the German government had dis.
patched other warships to Mexican
waters.

acreage is an indication that the agri-
eulturists of the Northwest are awak-
ening to the importance of diversified
farming. The falling off in the total
is particularly significant in view Of
the immigration movement there has
been to the western part of the Da-
kotas and to Montana, where millions
of acres of prairie have been turned
into grain fields, most Of them wheat
fields, within the last few years. The
government s report indicates that far.
ther east more than one acre is being
added TO the wheat total. The increased
diversity of operations diminishes the
farmers chances of failure and is an
encouraging indication.
On the Pacific slope the conditions
could not be improved upon. The fruit
and vegetable production promises to
break all records while real, intelligent,
systematic effort is being directed to
diversified farming that must eventu'
ally result in making the whole North
west one of the most productive areas
on the globe.

ONE PROBLEM IS ENOUGH.

W. BLANPIED, immigration sec
~ retary of the Y. NJ. C. A., is in
Portland on a survey of the i'm
Ne migration situation Of the Pa
cific coast, whatever that is,
and will make report to the confer
ence of charities which meets in Seattle
next month. Mr.. Blanpied's investiga
tions are evidently to be made from a
partisan standpoint. He is going to in.
vestigate with his mind already made
up as to what his report will be, and
his report will probably be of as much
real value as the paper it is written on

ment that, EVERY one thinks the anti.
alien land bill Of California is the great.
est event in our immigration history.
But in Is years we will laugh at the
controversy" It will be seen by this
that Mr.. Blanpied is one Of those broad
humanitarians, who are long on the
theory Of all the world being akin and
that one man is as good as another,
and better too. He would have the
coast thrown open to the Oriental immi.
grant along with those from Europe.
The trouble with Mrs. Blanpied and
such as he, is that he fails to recognize
the fact that two bodies cannot occupy
the same place at the same time. Con.

that the japanese are equal to any 9th.
er race on earth intellectually and 9th.
efwise it must be remembered that
they are Of a different race. The negro
however intelligent, is of distinct and
separate race. It is the province Of ev.
cry race to maintain its purity, and for
this reason, because America now has a
hundred million Caucasians, that the
coming of the Oriental is objected to.
He is Of different and non.affiliating
race. The mixture Of Oriental and eau.
casian blood helps neither, harms both,
just as the mixture Of the Caucasian
and African does.
Stock breeders understand and rely
on this principle. The strains, the races
are kept distinct, in order that each
may be kept perfect in its class. A

living, our ideals, and they are not de.
sirablc for that reason. Admitting all
their good qualities, there is the law Of
race preservation that stands in the
way Of making them part OF our people.
The negro problem looms more large ey.

on his hands in that line, without bring

DETECTIVE HAS SEARCHED.

Bert Films was arrested yesterday
at the farm of August Settler, for a
very serious offense against a 13-year-
old girl in Bradford, VT. He will be
taken back to Vermont this evening
by H. w. Morgan, of the Wood-Mor-
gan Detective agency of Boston, Mass.
Mr.. Morgan arrived in the city
Tuesday. He has been on Elms' trail
for over five weeks, and has followed
him all over the country, to Chicago,
Detroit, and even up into Canada. He
showed Sheriff Ross a picture of Films.
and the sheriff recognized the face as
n he had seen at an auction sale
nea Casselton. The sheriff and Nor
gan located the farm on which Films
was working, and then drove out there
in an auto. +
They arrived as the men were eat
ing supper. Elms did not seem at all
perturbed by the arrival of the off,
GERS, n calmly finished his supper.
He seemed to have been expecting
that he would be caught, sooner or
later. He was taken to the county
Jail, and made a full confession of his
crime.
For a time the girl victim was in a
very critical condition, and the senti-
ment against Elms is very strong.
Films is a little man. and claims to be
only 20 years Of age, though his real
age is %. He is married and has one
child. ...
His reputation has been bad for
some time. He has served time in the
Vermont house of correction, and re-
Gently was convicted of burglary, and
sentenced to the Vermont peniten-
tiary. He was put on probation short
ly afterward. Then he committed the
crime for which he now stands accus-
ed, and Immediately left the country.
