SENATORS DRESS FOR

Gone Are Stoyepipe Hats
and Far-Famed Dignity;
Session is Dragging

WASHINGTON, June Walking
through the United States Capitol
these days one is impressed with its
summary aspect Stately Senators,
members of the greatest deliberatiye
body on earth" who are ordinarily
CARRIED in the long black coats and
shiny silk hats of craftsmanship, are
now seen about the building dressed
in the lightest of summer wear Elec-
trio fans are whirring. ice water
tanks are everywhere in evidence, and
even the pages have DOTTED their
coats.
Much legislation confronts the up
per house. Seven appropriation bills,
the canal tolls bill and the trust leg
islation will occupy its attention, and
even the most optimistic in regard to
an early closing will venture to pre-
dict that this session will end not
earlier than August 1.
The House has a comparatively
easy program before 1t, with only two
appropriation bills and the trust leg
islation. After these are passed i
win merely mark time" until the
Senate has concluded.

For the hand that sends them to us
Never makes mistakes-don't fear.
Let me ever be surrounded

To be near you all through life

Peace IN MEXICO IS

BY The United Press.


CHAPEL HILL, n. G., June 3.
Americas vision in Mexico is one of
peace and prosperity-not power or con.
quest Secretary Of Commerce Redfield
today declared in a speech before the
graduating class of the University Of
North Carolina.
1T is not the genius of America 10

arms he said "lt is not within the
moral purview of America to dictate
by strength the policy OF any friendly
and neighborly state. We must look
to the development of such ideals and
methods among them as shall lead to
true national life. 1t may be this
will take long. 1t cannot be either to
their profit or ours that what we think
good for them should be imposed on
them from without
Redfeld's message today was the first
Of series OF prosperity talks
Business depression, he held, resulted
from local causes which il current in
another land than America. would re-
suit more disastrously than it does
here.
OF the tariff he said its effect has

That Huerta has taken the position
that the United States must save him
from the Constitutionalists and Zapa-
tistas was the belief here today. The
reply of the mediators to the note of
the Constitutionalists received here
last week will be received by Rafael
Zubaran, of the Carranzistas innta in
Washington today. This reply is un-
derstood again to ask whether the
Constitutionalists are willing to de-
clare an armistice and discuss inter-
nal as well as international ques-
tions In the conference here. Much
depends on the final answer whien
Carranza may make to these demands.
The Huerta delegates in their state
ment have gone squarely on record as
regarding international and internal
questions. In the eyes of the media
tors, this fairly puts double respon-
sibility upon the Oonstitutionalists ii
their real desire is for peace. 1t rests
with them to cease fighting to comply
with the conditions Of Huerta's retire
ment and aequiesce in the demands
that internal questions be threshed out
here
Discussion Of a general peace plan
will now probably be continued by the
mediators and the Mexican and Amer
can delegates pending action on the
part of Washington or the Constitu-
tionalists.
This includes the selection Of pro.
visional president and cabinet officers.

Injunction holds johnson
FROM KANSAS CITY feds
By the UnIted press.

BY the United Press.
CHICAGO, June 3.--Judge Foell. in
the Superior Court today made perm
anent the injunction preventing
Pitcher George ("Chief'g Johnson
from playing with the Kansas City
team of the Federal League. The in
junction was granted on the petition
Of the Cincinnati National League
team, after Johnson had jumped his
contract with the Reds and signed
with the Kansas City Feds The In
junction only prevents Johnson from
playing with the Federals within the
state of Illinois. where the superior
court has jurisdiction.
Judge Fcell's decision was on the
motion OF the Federal League TO dis
solve the temporary injunction under
which johnson was restrained from
playing with Kansas City. Rejection
OF the motion made the injunction
permanent.
Judge Foell held that the contract
between Johnson and the Federals
was one-sided and lacked mutually.
but decided that under the laws Of IL
linois, this fact did not void the con
tract
The Federala had attacked john
sons contract with the Cincinnati
club because IL contained the ten-day
clause, and It was their contention
that this clause invalidAted the con-
tract because the club derived all the
benefits from its enforcement aud the
player none.
Regarding this contention, Judge
Foell said 1T seems Incredible that
the players should submit for so
many years TO 80 unreasonable a
hardship as these contracts impose,
but the fact that this hardship exists
does DOT invalidate the contract
Johnson played under this contract

onel Antonio Perez. who recently es-
capped from Mexico City, arrived here
today and brought reports that Cen
eral Banquet, Huerta's minister Of
War, has gained almost absolute con-
troll of Huerta's government He said
many Mexicans believe Banquet will
get rid of Huerta by deportation and
make himself dictator.
Colonel Jose Robes declared that
when Saltillo fell he captured there
papers which involved Francisco
Leon de la Barra, former Mexican
ambassador to the United States in
the Diaz-Huerta conspiracy, which re-
suited in the overthrow of Francisco
/. Madero, and the elevation of Huerta
to the dictatorship. Robes says he
intends to make public the text of the
documents.
He asserts De la Barra was HUI
erta's secret agent and was with the
latter when the death Of Madero was
planned. He also declared the papa~s
prove De la Barra counselled iiuerta
not to salute the American flag at
F., Tampico and wanted the dictator to
! provoke foreign intervention.

The New Conception
OF National Neutrality
CFrom the New York Times.l }

We cannot but feel that President
Wilson and Mr. Bryan are betrayed
by a natural benevolent ideal
ism into taking somewhat
extreme attitude against the loan
ing of American credit in time
Of war. The attitude is announced
with reference to a proposition from
Switzerland. and apparently rests on
the assumption that money loaned to
Switzerland would be relent to some
OF the belligerents-a rather remote
contingency. But the transaction real
ly in question was the one discussed
with tn house of Morgan That, in
a practical sense, was a sale more
than a loan. II was proposition to
buy foodstu1fs for France on credit
secured by French treasury notes
Such a transaction is, of course,
open to any other of the belligerents.

How High Prices Are Reduced
CFrom The New York SUM-

How much of the present recession
of foodstuff prices is to be credited TO
official Intervention it is' difficult to
say The authorities will naturally
take to themselves as much credit as
they can; but another cause, more far
reaching in its effects tnan the activ-
tiles Of commissions, prosecuting Off
GERS and the authors of resolutions,
has been steadily at work IL is the
force of personal opinion finding its
expression in reduced orders, altered
bills of fare and discriminative selec-
tion. OF its operation little is heard,
but it produces a condition to which
the salesman is quick TO respond.
Not a few attempts have been made
to organize the consumers in formal
leagues, whose purpose is TO punish
dealers m this or that commodity for
their sins, committed or suspected, by
concerted withdrawal of patronage
Some of these movements are reputed
to have achieved a degree of success
satisfactory TO their promoters, but
their actual efficacy is open to doubt
Evening journal., 1914-08-22

The strategy which succeeds in war
is usually that which sticks closest
to common sense. The simplest plans
are the best, since they leave least
to the mercy of the accidents of im-
perfect coordination.
The operations I'm the western
theatre of war. in Europe are begin
ming to disclose the general lines OF
the strategy pursued there. II was
evident from the outset that Germany
would attack France, and the refusal
OF the German government TO offer
as the price of British semi-neutrality
a pledge to respect the sovereignty
of Belgium shows cOnclusiyely that
the Berlin General Staff long ago Sc
lected Belgium as the best base for
a campaign with Paris as its obiec-
tive. Before war was declared on
Russia Chancellor Bethmann-H Holl-
veg told the British Ambassador i'm
Berlin that he could not give a prom
isc to respect Belgian neutrality
without first consulting with the War
Office An unconditional agreement
to keep out of Belgium might have
made Great Britain hesitate about
making common cause with France.
II would also have deprived France
OF the help Of al least 20O,0 900 Belgian
soldiers. But the Berlin War Office,
which is little more than a mouth
piece for the Kaiser's military views.
was so set on following the Belgian
route into France that il was willing
to charge against the advantages of
that route the disadvantages of fight
ing Great Britain and Belgium, as
we'll as France
There could have been little doubt
after Liege was assaulted with such
reckless daring that the first effort
OF the German army would be to turn
the left OF the French line of defence,
with a view to attacking Paris from
the northeast as well as from she
east. That movement, If successful,
would uncover the fortresses which
guard the Franco-Gerrian frontier
from Longwy TO Belfort and compel
the French to retreat TO tneir secon-
dary line Of defence. Since the move
mcnt into Belgium began the German
army corps in Luxembourg and in
Lorraine and Alsace have been vir-
tually inactive The forward push
OF the kaiser's troops has been felt
i'm Belgium alone. Along the south
ern part of the line they have been
rui on the defensive by the French
advance in the direction of Strass-
burg.
The German plan seems to assume
that enough troops can be massed i'm
Belgium to turn and crush the allied
left, without endangering the safety
OF the German centre or left Evi-
Z ID
Is very formidable. since the allies
are slowing retiring and are willing
