Great Britain at San Francisco.

Announcement has not yet been made OF the
british governments reversal Of Its decision not to
participate in the Panama-Pacitic Exposition at
San Francisco II this reversal shall be made in
fine not distant future it will not be in the least
surprising. The government is quite capable Of re-
considering gracefully mistaken course. and that
its course in this matter was mistaken must by
this time be pretty well conceded.
A few days ago there was formed in London Il
committee for the purpose Of promoting private
representation at the fair and of urging the gov
eminent To reconsider its decision and to partici-
nate in IL on an ample and worthy scale We do
not know that we have ever seen in any such case

General Carranza Takes the Stage.

The fall of the City of Juarez transcends i'll i'll
tereSt the meeting of the new Mexican Congress"
and for the moment at least General CarTnza re-
places General Huerta in the centre of the stage
The latter talks, but the former acts. 1t may he
embarrassing to President Wilson to have the man
whom he will not recognize rs Provisional President
sitting pat and refusing to bulge. But 1t IS ever
so much worse for General Huerta to have the
Constitutionalist army overrunning nearly haIf OF
the of the republic, capturing important cities
and drawing ineXoraby nearer to the capital ltseIl
The four great northwestern states, half OF the
frontier between Mexico and the United Etates ana
the Pacific Coast down to point nearly level with
the City of Mexico itself now practically in the
hands of the revolutiOnsts and General. Huef,l
seems quite powerleSs TO check their further al
vance. In such circumstances tie demand OF the
COnStitutiOnastS for recognition Il behgerertS Is
invested with much force. 1t would he idle TO dls-
miss them as mere wandering brigands They are
as much organized as HuertaS government is. and
observe MS well as his troops the rules and practices
of civilized warfare.
The chief objection to granting them recognition
and beliserent rights is. of course, the danger OF
thus compromising and sacrificing our claims Tor
indemnity for the losses inflicted upon American
citizens But those losses have already occurred,
and our claims concerning them could not well he
invalidated 10y any subsequent recognition OF bel
ligerentS even in the of Huertas ultimate sue
cess In the more probable contingency of Car
ranza's success recognition would enormously in
crease the strength of demand.
Certainly the present aspect of affairs commends
strongly to consideration the deSirability of recog-
nizing the Carranzistas rather than of intervening
between the contending factions 1t is quite certain
that by intervening we should incur the i'll will OF
both sides. Cawanza does not want III to intervene

giving both beigerentS equal privileges in the pur-
chase of arms and ammunition we should be acting
logically and impartially. and there is reason for
thinking that we might also be promoting in the
most expeditions manner the ending of hoStilitleS
and the establishment of efficient and acceptable
government in Mexico

HEN HERSELF is TO BLAME
Agitators Should Try Poultry Farm
ing Themselves, Says Correspondent.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Fresh eggs are selling here at 40
cents a dozen and in other places In Sulli-
van County for 80 cents. Good storage
eggs at 30 cents is fair price. Surprising
they cost IS cents "A dozen six months ago,
there is your money invested and the ex-
pense of storing them to be added to IT,
If these eggs We're all sold even at 30
cents, what would be the price of fresh
ones? There would not be enough eggs to
supply the demand at any price. We have
at least hundred hens and they are av-
eraging two eggs day.
II is fair to demand reasonable prices,
but reasoning ability must settle the
question. and before a party OF women
attempt II. it would be Well to get on
speaking terms with the hens. We have
heard remarks concerning country people
who did not know enough To raise poultry
and eggs. We have also seen city people

The Shame OF New York's Prison System

Miss Dotv of the State Commission on Prison
Reform, and Miss Watson, formerly an investigator
for the sO-called factory commission, have spent

ants didn't know they were being investigated,

body with any interest in prisons did not know al

power and the silence rule and the general m0nOt-
ony of the life almost unbearabe.
All of this proves the women's prison at Auburn

run now. There was no actual cruelty-lnerely
cludities and lack Of accustomed decenceS of lie;
and there was reported sickenng overcrowding
of cells and use of cells utterly unfit for anything
In the shape OF humanity, such as prevail at sing
Sing. But the fact that these investigators found
Auburn only tolerably bad-not absolutely and gross
ly bad--shows what change there must be In
prson administration I'm this state; and the fact
that what they discovered will be recognized gen
orally as what was to be expected shows that the
public itself needs much education prison affairs

idea of prison as a curative institution rather than

ment on the proposed appointment Of an

of the lowest grade under the civil SER
vice rules. You may not be aware OF the
fact. but ii is nevertheless true that Mr.

thority in the world on the organization

Mr. Carr would not hesitate to acknowl-

lack of such service prccludes him from

rive the obvious conclusion that experts
even in the foreign service have certain
advantages over the average novice which
are not TO be despised.
