PRESIDENT REPRIMANDS
CARABAO SOCIETY

Washington, Dec. 22.-President
Wilson issued today a memorial re-
primanding those responsible Tor the
program of songs and skits at the
recent annual dinner of the Carabao
Society, an organization OF army ana
navy officers who have served in the
Philippines, in which he considered
that his insular policy was satlrized
and members of his cabinet were RI
diculed.
The officers responsible for the
program of the evening" the presi-
dent wrote, in part, addressing Sec
retaries Garrison and Daniels OF the
war and navy departments, certain
ly are deserving of very serious re-
primand, which | hereby request be
administered; and | cannot rid my
self of a feeling of great disappolnt-
ment that the general body of officers
assembled at the dinner should have
greeted the carrying out of such a
program with apparent indifference
to the fact that it violated some OF
the most dignified and sacred tradi-
tions of the service.
What are we to think of otlcers
of the army and navy who regard /.
as fun to bring their official sup
erior into ridicule and policies Of
the government they are sworn to
serve with unquestioning loyalty in
to contempt? If this is their idea
of fun, what is their idea of duty?
If they do not hold loyalty above all
silly effervescence of childish wit,
what about their professional duty do
they hold sacred?
my purpose in administering this
reprimand is to recall the men res
ponsible for this lowering OF the
standard of their ideals, to remind
them of the high conscience with
which they ought to put duty above
personal indulgence and to think of
themselves as responsible men and
as trusted soldiers, even while anus
ing themselves as diners out"
1t was announced that the men,
bers of the banquet committee, in
cluding Admiral Howard, Major
General Biddle, Brigadier- General
Mcintyre and Colonel Heistand, will
be reprimanded publicly

BANKS CLOSE WITH
PANIC IN MEXICO

Mexico City, Dec. 2Z.-The Banco
Central, the Bank of London and
Mexico and the Banco Nacional closed
their doors today. They were the
three largest financial institutions in
Mexico. On all of them runs have
been in progress for several days.
The result of the three banks col
lapse was an immediate panic in
business circles, The money strin-
sency in the Mexican capital was al
most unbelievable. Aside from the
commercial embarrassment naturally
to have been expected, individual
holders of all sorts OF currency were
convinced that they would lose their
money.
1t was believed the failures meant
the speedy end of Huertas regime.
The dictator did his best, however,
to stave off disaster by announcing
that he would call national holiday
from today until January l to give
the shaky institutions time to re-
cuperate
The bankers indeed, said they
could open tomorrow If necessary,
The runs, 1t was admitted, had al
most exhausted their liquid re-
sources. The one on the Bank of
London and Mexico followed its
failure to meet its semi-annual divi-
dend.
Huerta directors of the local pri-
vate banks and officials of the state
bank discussed this afternoon a plan
to legalize an issue by the banks OF
two peso notes.
