URGE NEUTRALITY OF
LATIN REPUBLICS

Secretary of State Bryan" today ad-
mitted that Great Britain and France
had asked the United States to :..use
its influence to insure strict enforce
ment Of the rules Of neutrality among
the South American republics"
This request accompanied long
communication from France and Great
Britain setting forth charges that
Ecuador and Colombia were furnishing
aiG to German ships by permitting the
Use of ports as bases for supplies and
wireless stations to furnish information
of the movements Of French and Eng
lish vessels.
The Secretary refused to discuss the
probable policy of the United States in
this connection. Colombia has already
made vigorous denial of the British
charges Ecuador has made no reply.
The United States stands ready to
furnish South American countries with
copies of our neutrality regulations.
he said. 1t is likely that steps may be
taken to encSurage them to adopt like
regulations. but, beyond that. it is i'm
orobe BILE that there will be any inter-
ference by the United States.

What War MOUeS Mean

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Turkey's
first offensive against Russia is now
revealing itself in the Caucasus. APP

and indicates the successful applica-
ton Of pressure by the Germans at
Constantinople who are working to
contine Turkeys main operations to
the Russian campaign.
The Turkish movement is develop

counter offense that has apparently
caught the Russians unprepared. >Ba-
tum IS a heavily fortified seaport,
about twenty miles from the Turkish
frontier, and is one or Russia's prin-
clpal military tases in the Caucasus.
The Russians have been operating
farther to the south, in the district
about Mt Ararat, and, seemingly
have left the northern roadway into
their own territory largely un-
guarded.
important victory for the Turks and
doubly important for the Germans,
because ii is port center for the
Baku petroleum fields. If the heavy
German siege guns can be brought
to bear on the fortifications, Their
quick destruction is inevitable, but it
IS Improbable the Germans have
been able TO send any of these weaD-
ons into Turkey
An assault against Batum, there
lore, which may now be regarded as
Germany's immediate objective. is an
undertaking that should require CON
siderable time. Nevertheless. it is to
Germany's interest to seize the fort

The train struck the surrey in the CEN

and throwing Mrs. Robertson several
feet along the track
It Is said by railroad men that the
speed of the train, which was about
forty-five miles an hour at this point
combined with the fact that the horse
evidently pulled her out Of the danger
zone, was what saved the mother. while
the child at her side was killed.

Bryan Announces Policy Of Ad-

convention.
Similar assurances had already been
received from Carranza. Today the
two factions are publicly pledged to
restore the government to the people
OF Mexico: to recognize rights OF for
eigners under International regula-
tions, and to rule the country with a
view to expediting the substitution of
civil for military rule.
There Is only one thing which could
cause the United States to interfere.
That would be wholesale massacre OF
foreigners by either of the controlling
factions. And in that eventuality II
Is pointed out here what would hap
pen would oe that q punitive expedition
would be sent into the country and the
persons responsible punished directly
In accordance with the rules Of inter-
national law This fact has been en-
pha sized to all Of the leaders in Mexico
by the confidential representatives of
the State Department. There has been
no mincing Of words.
Every Official Warned.
Every high official has been told that
not only the United States but the
Latin-American republics would unite
in seeing that anyone who permitted
outrages against foreigners was made
Such an example or, that his or their
names would live forever as a warn
ing to all that foreign lives must be
protected. And it was because all of
the leaders accepted this warning In
the most most friendly spirit, and prom
ised respect for the mandate. that the
decision to leave, the Mexicans to
themselves was reached by the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of State.
Reports that conditions approaching
anarchy exist in Mexico City are denied
with emphasis at the State Department.
1t is stated that advices received today
state that the city is absolutely tran
gail: that business is going on as
Usual. and that there is absolutely no
alarm apparent there in any quarter.
Word that serious fighting between
the factions in Mexico Is in progress
may come at any time. There have
been some preliminary skirmishes, but
they have been unimportant. But 1t Is
pointed out at the state Department
that fighting must be expected for a
time and that 1t will very likely have
the effect Of clarifying the situation and
clearing the air.
For the present 1t is understood the
American troops concentrated at the
border will remain where they are, al
though later on they are to be dis
tributed to the vacant army posts
throughout the country. They will be
held, however. until after it has been
discovered how the general Mexican sit
uation works out

A minister was recounting some OF
his amusing experiences In marrying
people. There's an old custom"
said he, that the bridegroom shall
kiss the bride Immediately after the
marriage ceremony Ia over. It's a
good, practical custom, for II serves
more handily than anything else that
/ know of to dissipate the awkward
pause that almost always follows a
simple. informal ceremony. For this
reason / keep the custom alive.
"One day a man whom l shall call
Smith came to the parsonage TO be
married. Mr.. Smith was q pompous,
consequential little man. The pros
pective Mrs. Smith was q fine, win
some girl. After the ceremony. Mr..
Smith. in spite of his pomposity, did
not seem to know just what was the
next thing TO do. SO, as in my prac-
tice in such emergencies. said: MY
