CoRSETs FOR CHICAGO COPS.
Anyway, that's What NobIcmaT
Would Have Them Wear.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Chicagos policemen
are all right, according to Count August
Schaefelysky de Mukadel de Castellane
Seymour, but
They would present a better front II
they wore a corset precisely like the one
which l constantly wear"
You police are too well nourished. &"
said the count sadly today. They eat
too much. They are too fat and-and how
shall l say it-dead on their feet. They
are soft and fiabby and their abdomens
are like colossal dub chins.
Il cannot tell you," he continued, how
deeply 1 admire your police. The raw
material of them is abundant
IF they would but wear corsets," he
exclaimed. Wonders can be worked
with corsets.
Il shall go to Mayor Harrison and ask
him to lend me twenty policemen of the
traffic squad for a demonstration. And
then-ah, then you shall see!
'Mys corset will reduce instantly the
waistline Of any policeman by at least
six inches. 1t will also reduce by at
least Is or 20 per cent the cost of food
for every policeman who wears it. To
eat too much, il the corset is properly
laced, is impossible"
When the kindly purpose of the count
was explained to Patrolmsn Patrick
o OMulligan, the latter said:

MEXICAN PEACE
LOOKS DUBIOUS
Reports Indicate Carranza Is
About to Break with
Convention.
STAGE SET FOR STRUGGLE
Should Chief Refuse to Recognize the
Newly Named Cabinet" War
Would Be Only Result.

While the reports that Villas forces
are overawing the Mexican peace con-
yention at Aguascalientes are not yet
confirmed by Official advices here, the
latest reports indicate that the outlook
for permanent peace, prosperity and
progress" is still rather DARK.
Present indications are that a break
is impending between Carranza and the
AEuascalientes conference. which, when
II comes may cause a resort to hostili-
ties. There is no doubt however. but
that such a rupture would eventually
mean the elimination OF Carranza, which
would give no cause for regret to officials
here.
Apparently the trouble is threatening
from a difference between Carranza and
the convention as to the latter's powers
The convention has declared itself to be
the supreme authority in Mexico, and
all its members have taken solemn oath
to support its decisions.
CarranZa, however, has taken no such
cath and holds that the conference must
remain subordinate 10 the central govern
ment of Mexico, headed at present by
himself This issue is being discussed on
the basis Of the action Of the convention

for certain guarantees respecting the

Another step taken by the convention,
report OF which was received here yesteT-
day, il regarded as likely TO make fur
ther difficulties between that body and
carranza- The convention has appointed
a committee Of hve to take charge Of the
five principal executive departments Of
the Mexico City government In other
words. without consulting Carranza, II
apparently has selected a cabinet for
him. II is much doubted here whether
Carranza will accept these appointees Of
the convention.
New Cabinet Named.
The opinion has been expressed here
that this action OF the convention is but
preliminary TO the naming OF new head
OF the Mexico City government Should
the convention do this, and should Car
rama refuse to recognize its right TO
depose him, the stage will then be set
for a fresh struggle in Mexico.

London, Oct 2.-Oficial announcement
was made today that ships belonging to
enemies CT the allies which have sought
refuge in the Suez Canal will be COM
PEELED to leave. This statement was is
sued ut the press bureau:
The Egyptian government is taking
steps to remove from the Suez Canal
all the enemy's ships that have been
long enough in the canal to show that
they have no intention Of departing in
the ordinary way and which apparently
are putting the canal to a use incon-
sistent with its object
THE British government denies the
conventional right Of free access to the
canaI and denies the enemy's ships the
right to use the canal for an Indefinite
