PATIENCE ABROAD
United States, Says London
Times, Has No Induce
ments to Offer Huerta

LONDON, Aug. 23-In an editorial
dealing with the mission of John Lind
to Mexico, the Times today points out
that the United States had no induce
ments to offer that would be likely to
tempt President Huerta to strive for
the crown of self-sacrificing patriot.
He might be willing to accept the
good offices OF an American commission
to mediate between himself and the
revolutionary leaders," the editorial
says, but he would surely require In
return the removal of the embargo on
his candidacy.
president Wilson, however, Is clear
ly entitled to take his own line, al
though that line be opposed to the
whole of foreign diplomatic opinion, be-
cause American action in Mexico car
ries with 1t greater implications and
liabilities than the action of any other
power.
Foreign critics who declaim against
the seeming ineffectiveness Of the
American attitude may be invited to re-
member that a false step might commit
the United States to a greater struggle
than any since the civil war and to
subsequent responsibilities, the end OF
which no man can foresee.
'"The Washington government fairly
Is entitled to ask the world to exercise
patience until the unusual procedure
adopted to meet an unusual emergency
has proved either that 1t has succeeded
or failed"

? OAKLAND, Aug. "a substitute

saloonless zones as means of reducing
the number of saloons in this city from
1886 to 200 was presented to the city
council this morning by F. c. Turner.
commissioner of public health and

Commissioner Turner proposes first
that he shall instruct the chief of po-
lice to compile a list Of II OF the
most Objectionable saloons whose Il
censes will lapse by April 1, 1914, and
that no new licenses be issued to these
places. This will leave s25 saloons.
Then. suggested Turner. at an execu-
tive session of the council held on or
before September 1, he will name 25
saloons whose licenses are to be re-
yoked. while the other four commits
sioners each will select 25 saloons
which will retain their licenses. the re-
naming 100 licenses to be selected by
lot. All revocations of licenses are to
be announced at once and are to take
effect April / of next year
In closing the communication pre-
senting this plan to the commissioners.
Commissioner Turner says:
This plan will not entirely elimi-
nate charges of unfairness, but 1t will
place upon the shoulders of the COM
missioner of public health and safety
the burden of any blame that any por-
g tion of the community may feel against
retaining any particular saloon. as well
as the feeling OF enmity on the part of
those whose licenses have been re-
voked
Being somewhat used to being
G blamed for all sorts of events in con-
nection with the city government, 1 am
perhaps more used to taking it than
any other commissioner and I am will
ing to assume the maximum thereof in

serve the country by an admirable piece
Of business legislation. 1t must stimu-
late the country to see such evidences
of harmony, along with constructive
