RUSSIANS OPPOSE e
 ALL PEACE PLANS

LONDON, Oct. G.-The Petrograd correspondent of the Morning Post telegraphs that the Russian press com ments adversely toward any present efforts for peace, either by the Unit ed States or any other powers, and declared that Russia must decline to consider peace measures until the ob- feet of this war is accomplished. He quotes the Bourse Gazette of Petro. grad:
 "ln this conflict of nations is plain ly seen the hand of q historical Neme- sis. Shat awful hand has not yet ac- complished the work begun, not by us but by the blinded ambitions of the Hohen2ollerns. Until this work has been done the restoration of peace Is impossible"
 Carthage Must Be Destroyed"
 A Moscow newspaper, the organ of the moderate OCtoberist party, says:
 "To speak of peace is very prema- ture. The present government of Ger many, with William II at its head, cap tivated, by the idea of military pan Germanism, offers but little for last ing peace at any terms. We do not expect to find any guarantees for an endmiig peace in Germany until the nation has marked out line of sev' erance between itself and those who violated the tranquility of the world. '
 These press utteranCes, the cores pondent says, are mild reproductions of what the public express of the news of Germany seeking by round about means to start suggestions of peace floating in the air. Russia, at least, has entered on this war as an cient Romans entered upon their long strife with Carthage delenda est | Carthage must be Destroyed.)

REPRESENTATIVE L'ENGLE GRE.
ATES A MILD SENSATION

A Washington special says that
Representative L'Engle startled the
house by offering an amendment to
the Alaskan railroad bill, which would
cut out all reference to Alaska and
appropriate the $35, 100000, which the
bill intends for Alaska, to the build
ing of railroad in Florida, starting
at Jacksonville and running thence
south to some point in Dade county,
thence south to Lake Okeechobee, to
Tampa.
Mr.. L'Engle offered this on the the
DRY that since agricultural develop
ment is the avowed object of the
Alaskan railroad bill it would be far
more feasible and profitable if the
government would spend the money
in the development of the Florida Ev-
erglades, if it is for the purpose of de-
veloping agricultural lands. Although
held not to be germane to the bill uu-
der consideration, if the purpose of
the road is for the purpose of exploit
ing agriculture we think that Con-
gresham L'Engle is eminently cor
rect.

REVIVAL OF BUSINESS COMING

All business men know that bust
ness is beginning to revive. Republi
can politicians and newspapers know
it, too, but are unwilling to admit it
Peanut partisanship controls the
minds of a good many men; they are
willing that others suffer if they
themselves may reap some partisan
advantage. Most men know that bust
ness depressions are hue to economic
rather than to political causes of the
depression through which the coun
try is passing.
Special privilege has been taking a
larger and larger toll of the wealth
produced, leaving less and less for
the producers. In such circumstances
the time must come when production
must. halt. We shall have periodical
business depression until the laws
are so changed that special privilege
will be forced to take its hands out
of the pocket of production. Such
legislation is necessary for the New

ARMED INTERVENTION IN MEX
Ico MAY YET BE NECESSARY

Washington, Feb. 23.-The Mexican
situation is again uppermost IN the
public mind here. The execution OF
William S. Benton, a wealthy English
ranch owner, and the disappearance
of other foreigners at Juarez, have
revived the talk of armed intervention
in Mexico.
The administration officials realize
that the situation is now fraught with
all sorts of possibilities.
Thus far the state department has
heard only Villas version of the exc
cution of Benton. 1t is admitted,
however, that Villa had right to ex-
ecute Benton if he had attempted to
take the commanders life. Benton's
friends, on the other hand, say that
he was unarmed, and had been MUIR
dered in cold blood. This story is
being carefully investigated.
The consuls at Juarez and Chihua-
hua have been urgently requested to
use every means in their power to
ascertain all the facts in connection
with the killing of Benton.
Senator shively, acting chairman OF
the foreign relations committee, con.
ferred with the president today.
President Wilson gave Senator
ShiveIy all the available facts regard
ing the death of Benton. Shively said
afterward that the incident was still
"in process of investigation.
