ENGLAND TAKING ADVANTAGE
By Associated Press

Augusta, Maine, April 9.-An at
tack on President Wilson's Mexican
and Panama Canal tolls policy was
made by Congressman John A. Peters.
of this State, in his address as pre-
siding officer of the Republican State
convention to-day. "I have great ad-
miration and respect for President
Wilson," said Mr.. Peters. But no
one but the blindest partisan, or one
who has given the matter no thought,
can have the slightest respect for the
foreign policy of his administration,
especially in Mexico. Indeed. it cannot
be properly called q policy at all, be-
cause it is unintelligible and aimless"
He declared that by refusing to rec
ognize Huerta the President lost his
greatest opportunity to establish some
kind of order in Mexico and save
thousands of lives and countless treas
ure."
During this 'watchful waiting
process of the administration, Mr..
Peters continued, lives and property
of our own and other citizens are
being destroyed. England and other
countries have acted with extraor-
dinary forbearance, but the limit must
be reached some time. The Mexican
policy of the administration has eX-
cited the surprise and contempt of
European countries
''It looks in Washington as if Eng
land had our administration in a hole
Apparently she has taken advantage
of the situation and said to the Presi-
dent: Kindly have your. Congress re-
verse its action in giving your coast
wise vessels right to go through the
Panama Canal free and we will keep
out of Mexico
ITO repeal the free tolls law under
the present circumstances admits that

Doctrine and will change the history

The cnvirons OF Havana.
During the past fortnight. when rep
rescntatves Of the Cuba American

seeking horses for their respective
tracks. nothing has been given out for
publication by the Havana agents, the
uncertainty of the horsemen's plans
initiating against mn accurate list of

or New Orleans.
Yesterday afternoon. however, Brown
issued the official list of stables. with
the number of horses in each. which
leave for Havana on two special trains
next saturday evening. Space has boon
assigned all these turfmen by Harry
White and w. w. Lylcs, and tho last
detail In connection\wlth the biggest
winter movement of thoroughbreds
ever known In the history OF the Amer
lean turf has been attended to.
There is one detail I wish tn he
made plain to all the horsemen," said
Manager Brown. All purses at ORR

that the reverse was to be the case
