Ambassador Henry Lane vii
son Makes Elaborate Report
AS to Condition in South
ern Republic.
THERE is ONLY ONE CURE
Armed Intervention or Media
tion Would do no Good in
Present Anarchistic
State Of Affairs.

IIlnited Press Leased Wire Service]
WASHINTON, July 26.-The eco
nomic situation in Mexico must be
remedied If there is to be permanent
peace. Neither armed intervention by
the United States nor It's sister move
ment, mediation between the rival
factions, will cure the situation, which
in some instances amounts to actuai
anarchy. Until some method is de-
vised which will place the finances or
the southern republic on q sound
basis, bandit warfare, revolution ana
starvation will continue to stalk hand
in hand through the helpless nation.
This, in effect, is the substance Of
one of the most remarkable reports
ever presented by an American am.
bassador which was dictated today
by Henry Lane Wilson, the ambassa
dor to Mexico and which is tonight
In the hands OF the president OF the
United States. The ambassador spens
from ten this morning until two this
afternoon preparing this report which
he dictated to a corps of stenograpn-
ers From then until nearly six
O'Clock he discussed the entire stu.
alton with Secretary Bryan.
He&told Bryan plainly that during
the last sixty days French investors
who CONTROL the stock OF the two
principal banking systems of Mexico
and shares OF most of the leading In.
dustries, have lost upwards Of $780,
100000 through the depreciation Of
their securities. Big banks are facing
ruin, he said. and the national rail-
ways, most of whose stock is owned
outside OF the republic can hardly
struggle along under the strain much
longer If a method of increasing its
revenues cannot be devised. For four
months its deficit has been enormous
And every line of industry in Mex
leo is paralyzed not SO much because
of internal warfare but because Of the
scarcity of money exchange in the
city of Mexico being at the prohibitive
figure of 240.
just how far the ambassador went
with the suggestion that this country
recognize the Huerta government

that in his report it is stated thai
there is only one real bonified revolu
tion in Mexico and that this is the

THE WEST AND ..
MEXICAN CRISIS.

Chicago Daily News: In his ad-
dress in Mobile yesterday President
Wilson once more proclaimed the
lofty doctrine Of morality, not eXpedi-
ency, as the one that must shape this
nations policy in it's dealings with
other nations. The enormous force of
a policy so directed cannot be measur
ed by results achieved in the past
under any policy. The doctrine that
the PRESIDENT proclaIms is a reVolu-
tionary doctrine when applied III the
field Of diplomacy.
The Daily News has commented at
various times upon the power welded
in Mexico by the great interests that
have rich concessions there, Presi-
dent Wilson has set his face firmly
against surrender to those interests
that place prosperity for the few above
the misery Of the masses. He is
fighting for Mexico and the Mexicans,
not to advance the property interests
Of Americans in Mexico.
This was expressed in memorable
words in the presidents Mobile ad-
dress. OF the southern republics he
said: "We must show ourselves
friends by comprehending their inter
ests, whether they square with our
interests or not. 1t is a very perilous
thing to determine a foreign policy in
terms of material interests. 1t is, in
deed, a degrading thing" Here is
revolutionary doctrine indeed.
The president is right. His policy
toward the dictator, Huerta, pet of
powerful foreign interests, lis right,
The muddled, ineffective election of
last Sunday prove this still more
clearly. Huerta's preparations to
strengthen his dictatorship as a SEXUAL
to the ineffective election adds further
prof. The great nations of Europe,
when they recover from the shock of
the presidents golden rule diplomacy,
will hardly stand out against it.

LAW SHOULD STEP IN.

Dead after a week Of ~unavailing'
struggle and much suffering, the case
of Isaac Levy. the NeY York mer-
chant who swallowed bichloride OF
mercury tablets by mistake for head
ache tablets, has brought forth from
one end of the country to the other
a protest against the persistency of
the trade in selling the. dangerous
drug in a form in which accidents are
frequent. If sold az a tablet the tab
let's should be colored blue. and should
differ in shape and size from those
used in the practice Of medicine.
Doctor Irving w. Voorhees, writes to
The New York World, describing the
awful agony of b'chloride Or mercury
poisoning, to which many people bent
on suicide have resorted in the mis-
taken notion that the death was pain
less. He also describes az follows
the remedial treatment which should
be followed when anyone is known
to have swallowed the drug:
White OF egg in large quantities
should be given. This forms with
mercury the insoluble illuminate Of
mercury, which can be removed from
the stomach by inducing vomiting or
by using the stomach pump. Olive
oil and castor Oil allay the burning.
An excellent antidote is freshly pre-
pared ferric sulfid. but it is seldom
available unless a chemical labora-
tory Is close at hand. Salt infusions
under the skin and into the veins
help dilute the poison. The surface
of the body must be kept warm and
all organ OF elimination encouraged
to do their utmost"
Treatment of bichloride poisoning
should be begun within ten minutes
from the time the drug is swallowed.
After absorption has taken place
through the stomach the poison be-
comes we'll disseminated throughout
the body and the case is then prac-
tically hopeless. In the Levy case
and in several others in different parts
Of the country within the past year
the ablest scientific handling has
proved unavailing. The thing to do
Is to take precautions which will keep
the drug out of the hands Of people
looking for medicine. This is a fit
subject for legislation

HuERTA, aTHE lMPossIRLE.p

New York Times: Few Of the harsh
est critics of Huerta believed that he
would SO order his proposterous trav-
esty Of an election SO as to make it
appear that he had been elected, In
spite of his assertion that he was not
and could not be a candidate, and
then, by handing over the shell of
authority in the national palace to his
henchman, Banquet, would assume
the title of commander-in-chief OF the
army. His cleverly devised plan to
perpetuate his own dictatorial rule Is
now clearly revealed. Gamboa. Calero
and all the other Mexicans Of high
repute who have. supported the pro-
yisional governments for the sake OF
peace are his victims as much surely
as Diaz, Rodolfo Reyes and the eSiled
De la Barra. Hureta is impossible.
Yet there is every likelihood that the
situation can be dealt with at Wash
ington. il a definite plan OF action IS

Senator Cummins is simply prov
ing that ne is a partisan republican
stirst of all, with the welfare of the
country as a secondary consideration.
He denounced the Dingley bill and the
Payne.Aldrich bill and all the other
tariff legislation, demanding radical
revision of the tariff. That has been
furnished, but Senator Cummins car
b no good in it, because 1t was
framed and passed by the democrats
In congress-, in compliance with the
democratic party adopts the Cummins
Views, he feels 1t his duty to get new
riews because he can not endure any
Thing democratic.
The new tariff has been in effect
only q few weeks but the manufactur-
ers are going right along with their
business. paying the highest wages
ever paid in the industries and chal-
longing competition with the manu-
Cacturers Of the world In the open

Nd man can in~telligently appraise the
results Of the tariff law before 1t has
been in operation a month and before
many OF its provisions have been put
into operation at all. 1t will require
at least a veal to give a Just idea Of
It's virtues or vices, and it would be
wise to await fuller information be-

service, which Mr.. Crissey compares
with the bankers function of reser-
voiring for community use the com
munity's money, the country couldn't
possibly be served with its necessary
supplies. The jobber, too, Is a food

food to satisfy the cultivated tastes
Of the American THE
stock in the most ordinary country
grocery store Is assembled from the
| four corners Of the earth How
could that grocer assemble it IL it
were not for the jobber? He simply
couldn't. ~
"The jobber draws his supplies from
all around the world. He grades,
cleans. selects, packs, stores and dis
tributes these supplies. He saves the
consumer enormous sums by trans
porting them in large bulk. He
breaks this bulk in his warehouse
which is in a large sense a factory
handling raw material--to put it in
shape for consumption.
"Again the jobber. besides being a
collector and warehouser and manu-
facturer and distributor Of goods, is
practically q banker as well. Ills fl

dispensed with. Without going be-
yond the bounds Of business judg-

would not think Of giving 1t. He

also a business educator; for many a
