upon the exchange by prominent bank

declared that domestic and financial

Russia's Other Invasion.

But in 1S49 the Russians had no trou-
BILE in Galicia. They marched across IT,
10000 strong, to subdue for Francis
Joseph the Magyars whom he was To-

There were patriotic Austrians who

Writing to His Wife.

From the Providence Journal.
The censors on the other side seem TO
be as particular about information that
a correspondent sends to his wife as
about the news that he cables to his

tradition that whatever is told to
wife might as well be screamed aloud
in the marketplace. 1t is related that

lowing dispatch which he has sent

Six days ago the A. B. c. confer
ence began to treat the International
conflice between the United States and
Mexico, occasioned by the arrest of
several American sailors by soldiers Of
General Huerta at Tampico. To solve
this cOnflice you offered to the gov
eminent Of the United States, to Huer-
ia and me your good offices, inviting
us to appoint delegates who would
represent the general headquarters of
the Constituencies army, which is
under my orders.
Il answered that in principle would
accept your good offices. and afterward,
in separate message l stated the
points which would be dealt with in
the peace conference. Awaiting an
answer to that dispatch, I have not yet
named delegates.
Il am surprise that you have con-
tinued to treat for a solution of the
conflict between the United States and
the Constitutionalist army, which is
under my orders and which represents
the majority of the people and the
larger armed force of the republic. For
this reason l state to you that I be-
lieve the conflict between the United
States and Mexico will not be solved
in future conferences unless in these
conferences there is represented the
general headquarters of the Constitu-
tionalist army"

PETITIONERS PROPOSE TO BUCK PRESS
CLUB WITH NEWSPAPER WRITER'S BODY

Star chamber session of the media
ton committee from the Larlham
Press c.df and petitioners desiring the
dissolution of the present organiza-
ton in favor of more democratic
club, are being held each day, but
no agreement has been reached.
Early this week President Kelly hel0
meeting with three members o. the
Press club, Howard MCMinn, Ben John
son and the petitioners, John Cox, Cy-
rus Lancaster and Howard Senior. At
that time 1t was suggested by the
Earlham executive committee that the
committee reach some conclusion, and
if that is impossible then the faculty
committee on student affairs would
intervene. This meeting was slated as
public, but when asked for news of
the session, newspaper men were in
formed that there was none.
Yesterday afternoon the work of the
committee reached a point where the
propositions stated by the petitioners
received a majority report and the
matter will be up to the Press club for
final vote. Just how the Press club
will consider the matter is not defin-
itely known, but it is rumOred about
the college that the progress Of the
reform is stalled, at least temporarily.
1t is generally conceded that the Press
club will, as a whole, vote against the
proposed constitution as written by the
petitioners.
