Niagara Falls, Ont, May 22.-There
is a. feeling on the part CT the prin.
cipals to the mediation conference
here that the savage advance of the
Constitutionalist army under General
Villa inevitably must have a bearing
upon the settlement of the difficulties
between the United States and HUI
erta's party.
When the South American media.
tors withdrew the invitation they had
extended to General Carranza to send
delegates to the Niagara Falls con-
ference, because of the refusal of the
Constituencies leader to agree to an
armistice to continue during the ses-
sions, it was stated that the confer
ence, would proceed to a consideration
of questions growing out Of the Tam
picO incident and subsequent causes
of irritation between the Mexicans
federal army and the American mill
tsry forces.
t. Official reports reciting the vic
tories of Villa and his army in the
Saltillo campaign have convinced the
Mexican representatives here that
Huerta's foes cannot be stopped.
The execution of federal general
and his staff has impressed upon
them the fact that the leaders of the
federal army cannot hope for mercy
Weakness May Force Hand.
That the weakening situation of the
federal forces may force Huerta' s
hand is recognized here
The federal forces Tuesday exhib.
tied no love of fight and the leaders
are not expected to offer stubborn re-
sistance. AS result Huerta's sup
porters fear that he may not dare
await the outcome Of the mediation.
The three South American media
tors, in an informal conference with
the representatives of General Huer-
ia, sought to learn in a general way
the viewpoint of the Mexican repre-
sentatives on various tentative plans
for solution of the Mexican prob
lem.
No formal expression of views was
required, but the mediators suggested
hypothetical steps looking to a, settle
nient of the Mexican imbroglio and
learned the trend of thought of the
delegates.
One of the principals to the con-
ference expressed the opinion that it
might be several days before a def
Lite and comprehensive plan would
be submitted for formal consideration
t. either side.

FRENCH FORTS TOO
WEAK TO HOLD OUT
Explosive Tests Cause
Their Abandonment or
Improvement.
lRy Cahle to The Tribunal

Paris, Sept 21.-M. Ardouin Duma-
zen in La Libert6," answers the ques-
tiOn formulated so many times as to
the reason of the fall of so many OF
the French fortresses to the first attck.
lie says that, since the last defensive
positions between Belgium and Paris
have been abandoned, there cannot
now be any objection TO confessing
what military men already knew, that
forts built on the plans of the French
engineer de Rivere, were good enough
until dynamite, telinite and other high
explosives were produced. Then they
became useless.
The fort of Malmaison, near Anizy-
le-Chateau, in the district of the pres
ent fighting, WAS tested by French army
authorities and in a few hours was
blown to bits. The principal forts at
Vcrdun, Toul, Belfort and, last Of all,
Mabeuge, were then, as quickly as pos
sible, covered with reinforced concrete
and steel cupolas, the only protection
oil any value against modern explosives
The lesser fortifcations, which could
not be 70 protected, should, the writer
thinks, have been forthwith abandoned,
but those responsible were afraid of
public opinion. So Lille, before the
| invasion, had to be declared an open
town and its forts dismantled 1t was
so with Rheims, Laon and Lafere. As
they could not be defended, it would
have been better to abandon them be-
for the war for sites now being used
by the German gunners.

THINKS GERMANY
OUTLAWED NATION
London Newspaper Says
She Forfeits Place in
Civilized World.
- cahIe to rlla Trihune l

London, Sept. 22.--"The Daily Chron-
icle," in an editorial in to-day's issue
on the destruction Of the Rheims Ca
thedral, says:
Most Englishmen had some hopes
when the war started that at its close
still powerful GeI any, purified but
not too heavily crushed, might con-
tinue to play its pa among the great
powers. But the crimes that Germany
has perpetrated in the course of this
war, without protest from the German
nation, have gone far to render that
impossible. 1t is not merely the enor-
nifty of the acts, but that of their mo-
tives and Qualifications, that forfeits
the German nation place among civ
ilizcd states.
Preparation, which must also be re-
membered, can, likewise, not be exactly
in kind. You cannot transport cathe-
drals, and if you could one cathedral
would not replace another But there
are works Of art which are movable
and Germany possesses notable COL
lections of them, mostly not by Ger
nan artists. 1t has for some time been
clear that If the Allies dictate peace
some substantial toll of those must be
taken for Belgium. It is now impossi-
BILE to dispute that France also has
claims"

TRYING TO CALM
ANXIOUS GERMANS
Berlin Paper Explains
That Defence Is as
Good as Attack.
lBy Cable to The Tribune. ]

Rotterdam, Sept. 10 delayed The
"Berliner Tageblatt" is doing its best
to calm the disturbed feeling in Berlin.
whilst the victories of the first few
weeks" it says, spoiled US, it is diff
cult to make the people understand
that defence under certain circum-
stances is just as good as attack. The
real thing is the final victory, and so
long as the battle is going OIL and re-
Inducements are getting near. while
our opponents get very tired b. con-
stantly attacking, the prospects Of the
German army are better than those of
the French and English"
In the midst CT an avalanche OF mat
ters relating to the blood and iron"
attitude of Germany, there appears in
German papers some curious references
10 peace.
The "Norddeutschc Allgemeine Zeit-
ung" makes a semi-official declaration
in which it states thas Germany will
not stop the war before it has earned
by fighting the guarantees which it
wants for the future.
The "Deutsche Tages-Zeitung"
writes: Germany does not only fight
for honorable peace. II fights for peace
which assures for it for a generation
Al least u certain peaceful place in Eu-
rope and in the world. it demands this
not on paper treaties, which the ex-
perience of this war shows are not
worth the paper they are written oil,
but by facts"
The Socialist Democratic "Vorwarts"
agrees with the declaration of the
"Norddeutsche Allgemeine 2eitung"
and adds: I'VE wish only that peace
which includes guarantee of con-
tinuity shall crown this war"
