BRITISH COM MMENT,
Compares Wilson Stand to Position
Of European Powers.

London, Aug. 26.-"The difficulty of
the mission of John Lind to Mexico
from the beginning, was that the
American government had naught to
offer Provisional President Huerta If
he acceded to its request" comments
the Westminster Gazette, in an article
on the Mexican situation, today. The
government organ adds:
1t Is easy to smile at the position
In which President Woodrow Wilson
ana Secretary of State Bryan find
themselves, but it is no worse than the
position in which the European Pow
ers nave been landed by the refusal OF
Turkey to respect the treaty of Lon
don.''

FOOLISH WAR SCARE.
This Man Evidently Plans to Specu'
late in the Per Cent. Bonds.

ST. Louis, Aug GA prediction
was made here, today. that in the
States and Mexico, there would be
a drop of s200,0O0o00 in the value
of per cent. government bonds out
standing. The prediction was made
in an address before the City club by
Banker Festus ]. Wade. The decline
would take place Immediately upon
the issuance of 100000, 900 bonds to
finance the war, he said. Under such
circumstances the whole power of the
government could not maintain the
2 per cent. bonds at par, he added.
Mr.. Wade is member of the cur

While officials regret that they

to pay its army or meet running ex-
penses.
The United States will preserve a
policy of non-interference and non
recognition while developments take
their course. Officials are emphatic,
however, in declaring they will in

Thousands of cattle are being
killed in Chihuahua, by bands of

leave the carcasses to rot. Many
of the rich owners have been
driven out and their cattle left in
the hands of cowboys, who are
unable to defend them. The
hides are sold to come into the

Western Range Conditions

The summer of 1913 seems so
far to be somewhat under the
average in feed production on
the ranges of the west and south
west. One particularly notice
able feature of the rainfall is it's
spotted" character, which from
Arizona to Montana produces
areas of good feed adjoining land
of the same character which
is dry and non-productive of
nutritious fodder.
Just at this time Arizona, New
Mexico, West Texas and parts of
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana
look green and pretty and appear
to give promise of good feed, yet
in all of these places stockmen
are complaining of insufficient
rainfall to produce a desirable
range condition. If conditions
do not materially improve within
the next 80 days a great many
cattle will perish during the
early winter, and in the sections
where open range is depended on
for fattening for the market
forced sales, at probable big
losses, will he made. One cheer
ing thought in all this, however,
is the fact that part range condi-
tons nowwill help maintain good
beef prices; moreover, the next
thirty days may relieve the
drouth and save the southwest
at least.
