Near elimination.
[ BY Cable to The Tribune

London, Jan. 15.-The army canteen
scandal has resulted in the sudden
flight Of we'll known sporting baronet
The scandal was discovered last au
tumn and was at first thought by the
War Office TO involve only a small
number Of officers Of the Commissary
Department who had risen from the
ranks and who had embezzled small
sums when buying supplies for the
army canteens and court martial was
ordered for FIVE officers. but the inves-
tieation had proceeded only a little
way when it was found 10 be a much
more serious affair. The court martial
was stopped while the Investigations
continued and last week sixteen sum
monses were issued for civil trial
including besides the FIVE officers eleven
civilians. this time on charge OF CIV
ing and taking brides.
The government discovered letter
from the baronet in question instruct
ing his employees TO brihe certain OFF,
GERS. The baronet learned of the dis
coverv OF the letter and left England

SEES HUERTA IN STRAITS
The Times" of London, Fears
No Effects of Default.

London. Jan. l6-"Huerta's decision 10
default on the national debt" says The
Timee" is the first overt token OF the
straits 10 which he has been reduced by
President Wilson'S policy Of watchful
waiting. Even a Spanish American Pres
ident would not repudlate national oo-
LEGATIONS unless he were in a really tight
corner. and Huertas action can hardly
be regarded as other than a sign that
matters with him arc growing desperate
and that the stand taken by the United
States is gradually breaking down hi
defences.
There appears TO be some anxiety Ina
certain American quarters lest lIuerts's
raid on the interests of European bond
holders may lead 10 diplomatic compliCa-
tions. We do not share that anxiety All
that Huerta's new tactics can effect -
To increasc the expectation that the
American government will be more thaa

EUROPE DESIRES
MEXICAN ACTION
Informal Inquiries Made as to
What United States Will DO
About Debt Default.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE diplomatic
representatives OF several European gov
ernments whose NATIONALS are holders OF
Mexican national debt bonds, suspension
Of interest payments on which President
Huerta has ordered for six months, have
made informal inquiry Of the Secretary
OF State as TO what the United states 10
going TO do about II, if anything.
Secretary Bryan said this afternoon that
he told those diplomats there was notn-
ing new in the policy Of the United States.
While the inquiries are understood TO De
of an informal character. hardly 10 be
called pressure" the simple fact that
thev have been made is considered sig
ndcant. indicating that Europe is looking
to the United States for protection OF Eu-
ropean interests. The matter assumes
still further significance in the light or
the fact that ever since the Mexican
situation became acute last summer rrac-
tically every step taken by this admins
t,ation has been the result OF pressure
from abroad.
President Wilson told callers to-day that
there had been no change In his Mexican
plv 10 drift toward the crumbling of tile
Huerta regime, which was expected soon
er or later. The President said that Tn"
recent visit of Mr.. Lind caused no change
in his attitude toward the situation.
IL is believed that the intimations re-
ceived from European governments to-
day may be effective In bringing on a.
ton. despite their informalty.
II is the nearly universal opinion IN
Washington that Intervention In Mexico
is simply a matter Of time, and the be-
lief is general that this period depends
very largely on the attitude OF European
nations. II they show impatience or ex-
press a desire that the United States do
something 70 protect their interests this
government will be forced to act.

POWERS AT. ODDS
AS TO ALBANIA
Triple Alliance Favors Sending
AustrO- Italian Force Into
Troubled Country.

Berne. Jan 15.-The situation in Albania
is much more grave than is generally
known or Officially acknowledged by the
European powers. according TO authori-
tative information gathered in diplomatic
circles to-day. and the various govern
ments are directing all their efforts to
prevent a fresh outbreak in the Balkans
The tension among the great powers is
considered 20 be greater az the present
moment than at any time during the re-
cent Balkan wars. and is said TO have
reached such a point that Germany has
proposed Joint Austrian and Italian mill
tary intervention in Albania. She sug-
gested the dispatch Of a mixed army OF
Austrian and Italian troops thither in
order to avoid the difficulty Of deciding
which part Of Albanian territory should
be occupied by Austria and which by
Italy.
The European governments have Sc
cured proof that the Mussulmans, both
ia Constantinople and Albania. had pre-
pared risings In favor OF placing lZzet
Pacha. formerly Turkish Minister of
War, on the throne Of Albania. and that
on January of six Turkish officers and
two hundred soldiers when they arrived
al Aylona. the Albanian seaport, from
Constantinople. Evidence also has been
obtained by the powers that the Mus
sulmans are determined To- use Albania
as a centre OF disturbance. which will
radiate from there TO other parts OF the
Balkans and especially TO Greece, against
which Turkeys resentment is said to he
particularly directed.

Fair Tipplers a Serious
Menace, Says Leader of
Big Crusade.

The Anti-Saloon League is not SLOW in
recognizing that this is the womans era.
The increase Of the bibuous tipping
female is one of the leading problems"
said the Rev. Dr. p. a. Baker the league e

day, in announcing the programme or
warfare that is to be waged in city,

Drinking is on the decrease" said DR..
Baker. among men in tho nation, but
that doesn't hold with reference 10 women.
Everywhere in the cities and towns, the
drinking among women is on the In
crease. This is particularly true Of rich
women who fall prey to the willy cafe
keepers. who mix UP all sorts Of concoc-
lions with euphonious names TO catch
their female customers. These women
NAV fool themselves into thinking they
are imbibing superior sort OF beverage,
but ! tell YOU they are only drinking
hard liquors
However, the Anti-saloon Leagu. is OPP
timistic aver the prospects OF making the
nation dry.
DR.. Baker is willing TO give New York
ers fifteen years in which 10 get over their
bibulous habits.
Dr.. Baker is the author OF joint reso-
luton that was introduced last monta In
Congress by Senator Shepard. OF Texas,
and in the House by Representative Hob
son.
The resolution provides for an amend
ment to the United States Constitution
which will do for the country what the
Prohibition party has advocated for
years. Mr. Bryan fayors the measure
That dry day Clfteen years hence)'
seems assured. for the anti-saloon people
are very earnest folk. and are prepared
10 work hard for their cause.
In case they are not mistaken, here i
ono small hope for the unregenerate VINO
might still retain thirst: The proposed
amendment OF the anti-saloon people is
against the sale Of alcohol The amend

featured. transported, imported or eX-
nor,ed for sale" The amendment ac'
cording TO DR.. Baker. who ought to Know

nrovision against manufacturing, export

since personal use OF alcohol is the
chief interest Of the consumer thereon II

hibition's millennium, result IN he!dey

fBy cable to The Tribune J

London. Jan. 6-General BOtha's
cabinet dealt a smashing blow yester-
dav at the organizers OF the general
strike throughout South Africa. The
Trades Hall, johannesburg, in which
many Of the leaders had taken refuge
with three hundred Of their followers.
and which has been more or less be-
siegcd since Saturday, was completely
invested by police and armed burghers
from an early hour. A twelve-pounder
field gun was placed in position com
manding the building and every prep
aration was made for the use Of force
il such a step should become neccs-
sary. and then the inmates were given
a quarter Of an hour in which TO sur
render.
The agitators attempted 10 parley,
asking for a conference with the gov
eminent This was peremptorily re-
fused by the officer in command act
ing on orders from the higher authori-
tics and the men in the hall then had
no alternative but TO yield, which they
did a few seconds only before the ultl-
matum expired.
Thirty-five persons were arrested
and taken TO prison, including twelve
of the most prominent leaders, among
them Watson, president of the Fedora
ton of Trades, and Balm, whose
escape from arrest into the hall was
one Of the causes OF the siege
1t is now believed that the collapse
of the movement is in sight. In addi-
ton TO the men captured at the Trades
Hall many other arrests were made
at other places, and the result seems
to be that the strikers are now more
or less paralyzed, both by those meas
ures and by the drastic application or
martial law.

showed signs OF collapsing this after
noon. when 80 men applied for relnstate-
ment at Braamfontein.
