cising Foreign Policy.

Of :. nator Borah today when the admin

m, bill passed by the House last night,
granting President Wilson 100000 to
move Americans out of Mexico. Senator
Borsh declared that the United States
should Immediately get out of Mexico.
out of Honduras and Nicaragua.
rs soon as unanimous consent had been
obtained for tine consideration of the bill.
which was approved by the Senate ap-
preparations committee this morning, Sen
ator Smoot of Utah took the floor and
declared that while he had voted against
the resolution 'tjustfying" the course of
President Wilson in Mexico, now that
actual war existed between the United
States and Mexico ne intended to give
all the support he as a senator could give
TO the administration in its policy toward
Mexico.
Wants Return of Peace.
Il viii go To the limit of my power as
willingly as any senator to aid in bring
ing peace and prosperity back to that
distracted country declared Senator
Smoot. y opposed the resolution we
adopted here because ! did not think that
il gave sufficient grounds for d declara-
ton of war with Mexico.
Senator Borah of Idaho made Wig
crous criticism Of the policy which has
been adopted by the United States to-
ward Mexico and toward other Latin
american republics. including Nicaragua
and Honduras.
Yesterday were engaged in war
with Gen. Huerta and that portion of
the citizens of Mexico which supports
him. said Senator Borah. To-day We
are told that unless we withdraw our
forces from Mexico We will be at war
with the other faction, headed by Car
rama.
Il predict that within forty-eigRt hours
We will be at war with Carranza- 1t is
the part of Congress to decide whether
the United States is prepared TO war with
the republic of Mexico
War Being Carried On"
1t is no longer a matter of compelling
q salute from Huerta, the usurper Of
power. Is Congress ready to remain
silent while war is being carried on In
Mexico? And 1 want to call attention to
the fact war is being carried on in Mex
leo.
Il do not want this war. This bill
should state positively that the United
fering power in Mexico, Nicaragua and
Honduras. Why is 1t said that the United
States is the most unpopular member OF
the family of nations? 1t is because of
our incapacity to attend to our own busi-
ness. We are today sustaining govern
ment in Nicaragua which is unpopular
with so per cent of the people there.

ceedings and debate in the Senate, and
would eliminate the printing in that rec

outside the Capitol, and articles which
are now placed in the record by members

The committee said in regard to this
This paragraph Is Intended to check

gressional Record with all sorts of ad-
dresses delivered outside of Congress,

gress, and other matter that has no place

the President, as is the public printer at

Provides for Yearly Report.

The public printer is instructed to fur
nish to Congress a report each year show
ing the number of franked envelopes is
sued to each member of Congress or
officer of the government.
: The committee report says in regard to
this matter:
This is a new provision and is in
tended to stop the furnishing of franked
envelopes to individuals. committees or
organizations interested in promoting a
particular propaganda at the public ex-
pense by the unrestricted use of the mails
to scatter broadcast great quantities of
certain speeches or government publica-
tons. Millions upon millions of franked
envelopes supplied free to members of
Congress for their own use have been
turned over to private organizations to
conduct mail campaigns for certain pur-
poses.
1T has been no uncommon thing for
some members to order several hundred
thousand or even a million franked
envelopes and then send the entire lot
to committee or organization having
no connection whatever with the gov
ernment for its use in the mailing of
certain extracts from the Congressional
Record or public documents that may
also have been printed in it's behalf at
the expense of the government. Such
transactions have cost the government
many thousands of dollars for printing
and carrying free in the mails tons of
special interests Of certain individuals

WOMAN GUARDED SATCHEL OF
 GOLD DUST

The Seattle Post Intelligencer tells an interesting story of Michael Selch, the Ruby mining man. who arrived here on the Mariposa yesterday en- route to the interior camp. It says:
 "an interesting arrival at the Bar ker Is Michael Selch, of Ruby, Alas ka, part owner of one of the richest claims in the whole Ruby district, the Mascot Bench" From this claim was taken last July the second largest nugget ever found in Alaska. weighing slightly over no ounces, and valued at more than $500. This, along with three others, MT. Selch brought with him when he reached the states two months ago and were carried in hand satchel both on the boat and on the train which bore him to San Francisco.
 "On the way down to California" |" said he, q went back into the smok- CT once or twice. and told an Irish girl who was bound for that city to look out for it. When I reached San Francisco I said to her: Look here, at what you have been taking care of for me- and I opened the satchel and showed her s3,O00 worth of gold. She nearly tainted when she realized what she was looking at. That's the way to keep from being robbed though. Nobody would ever have suspected that any such load was in the satchel.
 "Mr Selch has been in Alaska for eleven years. mining practically all the time, He has been in the Ruby N'SNaHS' icA ioui ySuiSy WHICH uldheb him one of the pioneers of the camp. T promised my partner I'd be back New Years, and III come mighty near doing 1t even if I have to walk" he said. Going over the divide Is not a pleasant experience this time of the year, as you get above timber line, where the blizzards are pretty fierce. and the temperature may hover for days at SO to 70 degrees below zero. If l have to walk I'll certain ly look around for somebody to go along with me, for it's no venture for anyone to take alone"

BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD


PARIS, Sept. 20 (By mail to New
York).--A little man all bundled up in
coats drove up this very street one
December day a century ago and
rushing into a building in this very
park, tore through the halls, dashed
into a certain room and there threw
his arms around the Empress Of
France. He was Napoleon, back from
Moscow, where the Russians had all
but shattered him. Two days later he
told France the story and France
shuddered at the name of Russia.
But today when | saw this street,
France was thrilling with hope at the
thought that somewhere, in the fog
of war huge cossacks from Moscow
itself, perhaps, were coming, by land
or by sea, with their wild horses, to
save this street and palace and the
great art galleries and Paris and
France itself from the Germans.
The street was almost deserted.
The great Tuilleries gardens lay in
the golden autumn sunshine as empty
and silent as If they had been farms
in Iowa, after crop time, instead Of
the most famous park in the world.
The Louvre art gallery was locked.

either. The wonderful pieces of
marble and painting which Napoleon
himself when master of Europe seized
as he pleased and took off as war
booty to his great and powerful Paris,
have been hidden away perhaps ere
now or will be when the sound of
German guns which heard booming
to the northwest this afternoon grows
louder.
Here's the great building right here;
the great Louvre gallery. Stand and
look at 1t this September afternoon
and then listen to the cannon, not
many miles away, and you'll have a
thrill you'll never forget We cross
the river. I want to see Napoleon's
tomb. We pass great railroad sta
lions that are closed; somewhere the
steel lines that run out from them
have been cut by the Germans and
the trains are not running. Here we
are at the Invalides, the old soldiers

afternoon, Napoleon, with those Ger

You may talk to tombs all you

only to do with the past, anyhow,
and the cannon and German aero
plane flying overhead remained re-
minded me of the present. "Where
are the French airmen?'' I asked an
officer of the guard.
Everybody believes they're all

of our airmen, 1t will thrill and

For the past few nights the armies
or Europe have been sleeping and
marching and killing under a full
autumn moon. There has been sur
prisingly little rain in Europe and
even London has had only splendid
clear days. So 1t was through a
beautiful evening that I went to my
big, lonely, hotel, where there are
only two guests besides myself.
Great fingers of light from the
Eiffel tower secured the skies for
Zeppelins and one of them hitting the
tall building across the street,
nghted my room In regular throbs
and made it hard to sleep.

But early in the morning the boom

WILLARD PLEADS
FOR INCREASE IN
RAILWAY RATES
B. and o. President Tells Com
merce Board War Has Made
Freight Boost Necessary.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Presideni
Daniel e. willard. of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, chairman of the
committee of railroad presidents,
made the opening statement before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today for the eastern railways in
their application for increased
freight rates; based upon the world
wide financial exigency due in great
measure to the European war.
1.-THE needs of the carriers are
pressing and immediate" he said.
1.-THE actual situation has become ex-
tremely critical"
The roads are seeking a fiat in
crease of per cent. in freight rates
throughout the territory east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers.
Mr.. Willard called attention to the
decision of the commission in the
former case, wherein was stated that
"the net operating income of the rail-
roads in official classification terri
tory is smaller than is demanded in
the interest of both the general pub
lie and the railroads." and to the
fact that the railroads had already
taken action to secure additional
revenues through various advances
and changes Of practice. 1.-The meas
ures of relief proposed by the COM
mission will not, in our opinion, ade-
quately meet the existing situation"
he added.
"A war such as that now raging
causes great and immediate dis
turbance to industry, commerce and
finance" he said. 1T causes con-
traction of credit and great restric-
ton, If not the actual stoppage of
international trade, as well as seri-
GUS disturbance to domestic COM
merce, and, as we have seen, 1t has
thrown the security markets of the
world, first into panic and then into
suspension of operations.
I'm so far as the war and its con-
sequences tend to change the condi-
tions surrounding the enlistment of
new capital. they tend to change the
