Washington. Oct. 2.-The council
in Mexico Will convene at Aguas Cal
ientes, October 10. according to- Of
ficial advices received here today,
with a purpose of settling all differ
ences. It will bring together for the
first time full representation OF
General Villas adherents with those
from Carranza and Zapata.
State department officials were
unable to estimate the effects on the
political conference In Mexico City
of the approaching meeting of mill
tary leaders. II was assumed that
nothing would be done Of far reach-
fng character before the Asuas Cal
ientes conference has assembled and
indicated what the degree of support
can be expected from policies adopt
ed by the Mexico City convention.
Official reports told OF the OPEN
ing of the convention in Mexico City,
but gave no indication OF the out
come.
Seizure of 100000 pesoes by Mexi-
can soldiers from the Rea Delmonte
mine, an American property, was re-
ported today through foreign consul
lar representatives in Mexico. The
money is believed to have been TAX
eli by the same band which seized
100000 pesos from British cor
poration. The British embassy
here has made representations to the
state department. Efforts are being
made through American consular
agents to recover the loot.

Naco Sonora, Mex. Oct. 2.-r-Thc
battle of Naco began shortly before
noon today. With cavalry screen
and skirmishers in the van Governor
Maytorena launched his main force
upon General Benjamin HilI's Car
ranzaista army of 1900 men en-
trenched within the town. Hill was
prepared for assault or seige.
All the civilians or Naco had re-
moved across the American line sew
eraI days ago. and Hill had every
thing cleared for action. On the
American side long lines of coal cars
afforded shelter for crowds OF sDecta-
tors assembled to see the third battle
staged at Naco since Madero started
warfare in Mexico.
In his preparations for battle or
seige, Hill had imported from the
American side quarter million car
tridges, carload of flour and car
load of clothing, including 1000
pairs of shoes for his men.
Governor Maytorena moved his
miles of Naco shortly before noon to-
day and halted apparently to pre-

The Land Question in Mexico.
From the Christian Herald.

from the Christian Herald.
When General Villa, the rebel COM
mander in Mexico, issued his decree
the vast estates of the
.Creel and Terrazas families in behalf
of the people. he let in a light which
strikes very close to the heart of the
real problem in that republic. One
must go deeper than the news in the
daily press to find the cause of the
troubles in Mexico, and the reason for
the continued unrest, out of which has
sprung the apparently endless success
sion of revolutions in that country. 1t
is the old evil of the absorption Of
the land and the exploitage of the COM
mon people by clever and INSCRIPTIONS
men, singly and in combination. They
want the land and the right to share
in its products. At the present time
700 patrician families own practically
the whole of agricultural Mexico. The
people also want the total abolition Of
peonage, which is simply slavery. They
had a glimpse OF greater possibilities
during Madero's administration; but
these were swept away by the rise of
Huerta. 1t Is their struggle for the
realization of these hopes that a won
for them the sympathy of lovers Of
progress and justice everywhere.

EAST INDIA FUNERAL PYRE
tmmolation of Silent Figure While
Brother Looked on In
Bitter Grief.

Even as we came opposite the bear
ers lifted one of them all cool and
dripping, from the river and set it,
the slim, small figure, so quiet, so
content, on a half-built pyre, C. F.
Benson writes in the Century. Brush
wood and fagots were built over 1t
and at the head and foot and sides
the fire wax applied. A Brahman d.
rected the rites and once, as the
flames mounted and aspired, the
brother, who was watching, clutched
at his heart as there appeared for a
moment at the top of the pyre a
girls face, with closed eyes and
mouth that seemed to smile; then the
radiant veil of flame shrouded it
again. The smoke rose in gray
whorls and streamers against the
stainless and tender blue of the sky,
and still the brothe- watched, quiet
again and composed; he had given
only that n sign to show that he
loved her whose ashes now lay among
the charred and smoldering logs. Or
rather 1t was only for the moment
that. thinking of days of childhood
and dawns by the riverside, he forgot
h 1t was not she who had been
consumed in the flames OF the pyre.
Then he remembered again, and look
ing up from the pyre to the dazzling
river he saw there on our boat his
friend, the Brahman, and smiled to
him.

THE END OF ROOSEVELT.

Tuesdays elections seemingly mark
the end of the political influence of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt. With good reason
he declined to be interviewed on the re-
suit. He could not have been more COM
pletely crushed. His plan of merging in
the candidacy of Mr.. Human the Re-
publican and Progressive parties failed
to find approval with either. In Mr..
Whitman the Republicans made a choice
exceedingly Objectionable to him. The
Progressives narrowly missed nominal
ing the utterly discredited Sulzer, and
then at the polls they-or somebody
gave Sulzer twice as many votes as the
regular Progressive candidate.
Mr.. Roosevelt has played out his hand
and lost. In attempting to create party
of his own he sailed too high. How much
greater would have been his reputation
on the historic page if, on retiring from
the presidency, he had also retired from
politics-at least to the extent that Mr..
Taft has done. As it is, his record seems
strangely reminiscent of John c. FIRE.

"THE NEW EUROPE"

1t is inconceivable that there should
be any difference of opinion whatever
either among the Allies or among neutral
nations as to the justice OF forcing Ger
many to make whatever amends are
possible for the base brutality of her
treatment of Belgium. One may take it
equally for granted that the outside
world will likewise unanimously approve
the restoration of Alsace and Lorraine
to France. A more difficult question,
however, is suggested by Schleswig-
Holstein. the province wrenched from
the Danes in the war of 1864, and still
predominantly Danish and anti-Prussian
in sentiment. A strict application of
the principle of nationality would re-
ouire its retrocession to Denmark in
spite of the fact that throughout the
present war the Danes have remained
neutral. But the problem is cornplicat-
ed by the building of the Kiel Canal
within the Schleswig Holstein area.
There will undoubtedly be desire in
manv quarters that the terms of peace
should include the internationalizatio of
the great waterway connecting the North
Sea and the Baltic. The canal, it is pos
sible, may become the boundary line be-
tween Denmark and Germany and be
placed by the Allied Powers under Danish
administration for the com mercial use
of all nations. If Denmark and Belgium
and France, however, each receive a
portion of what is now German territory
it is tolerably safe to assume that Hol-
land, following the example of Rumania
after the Balkan War, will put in a
claim for Compensation. The position
of Holland throughout the war has been
an exceedingly trying one. For reasons
which amply satisfy the prudential char
acter of the Dutch, the Government at
The Hague decided to preserve strict
neutrality while its independence, and
indeed its very existence as free and
self-governing state, were being fought
out on the plains of Belgium and amid
the vineyards of France.
Certainly the hope entertained by
Great Britain is that Germany, while
rendered impotent for harm, will not feel
Inundated by the terms imposed upon

tory nature is likely to meet with Brit
ish support. Sidney Brooks in the No

WHEN and HOW THE
BODY POIS0NS ITSELF

The underlying cause of much head.
ache, particularly mgraine, or sick head
ache, bilious attacks, vertigo, or dizziness,
is intestinal administration. This pro-
cess, recognized only in recent years, is
the absorption into the blood OF ,poisons
produced in the intestines from the resi-
due of food.
The two most prominent factors in
causing this condition are constipation
and excessive meat eating. 1t can there
fore be largely avoided by care in the
diet and the use of a laxative which will
clear away the fermenting residue Of
food which is generating the poisons.
Pinklets, the new laxative, are admir-
ably suited to protect the body against
the dangers of auto-intoxication for they
gently assist nature and do not grippe
or purge Harsh purgatives leave the
system in worse condition than they
find it but Pinklets give just the stimula-
ton to the organs of excretion that is
needed to produce natural action and If
they are used regularly for a time they
will really correct constipation.

SUFFERS TRIUMPH.

One of the strangest political stories
of this generation is that of William Sui
ger. The story of Suffers subserviency
to Tammany, his elevation to the office
of Governor of New York by the Tam
many bosses, his attempt to break away
from the Tammany rule, after he became
Governor, and his final downfall and ex-
puIsion from office, on the proofs of his
adoption of the very methods so common
in Tammany politics, all these form an
old story. But the account of his des-
perate effort at revenge. his success in
looming back form a new and ire
mendously fascinating chapter in Ameri-
can politics. Convicted beyond dispute,
branded as lawbreaker and dishonest, he
has yet managed to reenter politics to
take the leadership of the Progressive
movement away from Theodore Roose-
welt, and to appropriate the Progressive
support for his own. What he has done
to Tammany has filled the hearts of the
Tammany chieftains with rage and fear.
His revenge is complete. Boston Adver-
