Mexican situation today by intro
dueing a resolution calling upon
President Wilson to inform the
Senate whether William Bayard Hale
is in Mexico City as the agent OF
anv executive department of the gov
ernment, If so by what authority
he was appointed and what COM
pensation he has been given.
The White House explanation oil
Hale's presence in Mexico has been
that he was there as personal
friend of President Wilson forward
ing information.
Senator Penrose declared that he
had no desire to further complicate
a delicate situation or to indulge i'll
iingoism. He referred, however, to
dispatches from Mexico telling of the
serious plight of Shirley G. Hulse,
son-in-law of Lieutenant Govern or
Reynolds. of Pennsylvania, who, with
his wife and little daughter, are be-
lieyed to be in danger from revolu-
tionists near the City of Chihuahua.
VIII Give Out Information.
The senator declared that unless the
mission of John Lind developed
marked change in conditions in Mex
leo. he would address the Senate next
week. laying before 1t certain in
formation he did not disclose today.
Things are getting pretty close to
home,' declared Senator Penrose,
land are becoming serious when
American citizens are molested and
their lives and property endangered.

few days to see IL the mysterious
mission of Mr.. Lind produces any
tangible result. In the event that II
does not, early next week l expect to
address the Senate on conditions In
Mexico and will offer a resolution,
which. / hope. will go some way
toward asserting the dignity of the
United States and its firm intention

LIPPINCOTT WANTS GRADE
CROSSINGS SAFEGUARDED
IFrom a stafY Correspondent ]

TRENTON. N. j., Aug. 15.-Com-
missioner of Motor Vehicles Job NJ
Lippincott today forwarded to the
Public Utility Commission a partial
report of the grade-crossing situa-
ton in South Jersey. The report con-
tains recommendations for the in
stallation of signal bells and gates at
several of the death-traps that are
now unprotected.
Mr.. Lippincott says frequently a
grade crossing in the isolated coun-
try districts is in greater need of
safety devices than a similar crossing
located in one of the towns or cities
The report recommends that the
Public Utility Commission take steps
to eliminate as many dangerous cross
ings as possible along the main higa-
ways leading to Atlantic City.

Only in the of the human family there is no means of migrating to another planet.
 Wheat acreage this learned geographer tells us, Is not keeping with the population, and the crisis will be upon before of the century, The supply coal will last three centuries The only course open to us he says, is stock taking of resources redis- ribuuon of population, with emphasis on the raising of food. While Prof Dickson does not say so, his idea 0 that as a nation tells off many men to serve in it's army defense, so the world of the future will have tell so many men to serve it's food raisers Eventually find that country-panning will become important as town -planning-whch seems reasonable enough.
 The human side of such statements is that while the facts of science point to this exhaustion of resources, be worrying about it. The scientist himself whose investigations point to such catastrophe, does much disturbed about it.
